The invention discloses a pentacyanocyclopentadiene supported catalyst and application of the pentacyanocyclopentadiene supported catalyst in
bisphenol AF synthesis. The
bisphenol AF synthesis steps are as follows:
phenol and
hexafluoroacetone trihydrate are taken as raw materials, the pentacyanocyclopentadiene supported catalyst is taken as a catalyst, and under the protection of
nitrogen, heating and reaction are performed; and after the reaction is finished, cooling to
room temperature, filtering and recovering the catalyst, carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on filtrate to remove excessive
phenol, recrystallizing residues by using an
ethanol / water solution, and filtering to obtain
bisphenol AF. The pentacyanocyclopentadiene supported catalyst is adopted, the acidity is enhanced through the pi-pi conjugation effect, meanwhile, the stability and recoverability of the catalyst are improved, the activity of the catalyst is high, the yield of
bisphenol AF can reach 95% or above, and the purity of
bisphenol AF is larger than 99.5%. Meanwhile, the reaction condition is mild, compared with a homogeneous
reaction system, the
reaction temperature is remarkably reduced, the
equipment requirement is low, and the production cost is reduced by 20-30% compared with that of a traditional method.
