[0019] Formula (1) indicates that the solubility parameter δ of the entire solvent is greater than 9.0 and less than 10.0.

According to the production method according to one embodiment of the present invention, 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene derived from the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution is used, and therefore, unintended dimers, oligomers, and polymers of 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene are reduced, and polymerization efficiency is excellent. [Example]

[0041] The present invention will be described in more detail below based on examples, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these examples.

[0042] Example 1 A 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was prepared by adding 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene and a polymerization inhibitor to a solvent consisting of ethylbenzene and acetonitrile, with the ethylbenzene and acetonitrile being mixed in a mass ratio of 0.774:0.226. The 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene content was 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution. 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) was used as the polymerization inhibitor, and the polymerization inhibitor concentration in the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was 1000 ppm. The 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was prepared at room temperature (23°C).

[0043] (Examples 2 to 11, Comparative Examples 1 to 5) A 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the type and blending ratio of the solvent, the content of 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene, and the concentration of the polymerization inhibitor were changed as shown in the table.

[0044] Solubility parameter δk and hydrogen bond parameter γ for each solvent k The values ​​were obtained by the method described in CM Hansen, Journal of Paint Technology, No. 39, Vol. 505, pp. 104-117 (1967).

[0045] The resulting 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was evaluated by the following method. (precipitation occurs) The 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was stored at 80°C for 24 hours, and the presence or absence of precipitation was visually confirmed and evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: No precipitate was observed. ×: Precipitation was observed.

[0046] (polymerizable) A 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was polymerized under the following conditions to produce a polymer. The solution was washed using 40 parts by mass of a 4 g / L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution per 100 parts by mass of the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution, and polymerization was carried out at 40°C while adding V-70 manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. as a polymerization initiator at a rate of 50 ppm per hour relative to the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene. Eight hours after the start of polymerization, phenothiazine was added as a polymerization inhibitor to terminate the polymerization, and the conversion at that time was determined. ◯: The polymerization rate was 80% or more. ×: The polymerization rate was less than 80%.

[0047] (viscosity) The 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene solution was stored at 80°C for 24 hours, and then the viscosity was measured using a Brookfield viscometer under the following conditions. Measuring equipment: "VISCOMETER TVB-20L" manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd. Spindle rotor: 1 (disk-shaped, radius 19 mm x thickness 7 mm) Rotation speed: 30 rpm ○: Viscosity was less than 100 mPa·sec △: Viscosity was 100 mPa·sec or more and less than 500 mPa·sec ×: Viscosity was 500 mPa·sec or more
