The invention discloses an
acylation reaction method for preparing 2-4-(chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyryl
chloride. The
acylation reaction method comprises the following steps: adding 900-950 parts by weight of 2-4-(chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid, 10-12 parts by weight of
acetic acid and 20-25 parts by weight of
activated carbon into a reaction kettle, dripping 510-520 parts by weight of
thionyl chloride into the reaction kettle at normal temperature, performing heat release reaction, increasing the temperature to 80 DEG C, then opening the reaction kettle, stirring, performing heat preservation for 6hours after the end of dripping of the
thionyl chloride, and press-filtering out the
activated carbon and other impurities to obtain a crude product 2-4-(chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyryl chloride. According to the
acylation reaction method, the
activated carbon is adopted for heat absorption, so that the smooth
reaction conditions can be ensured, the yield is greatly improved, the
acetic acid is increased and the stable
reaction conditions are ensured so as to be conductive to performing the reaction.
