The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a dichloroacetyl compound, which comprises the following steps:
tetrachloroethylene and an acid are subjected to an
addition reaction at 100-200 DEG C to obtain an
adduct, then the
adduct is subjected to an acidolysis,
hydrolysis or alcoholysis reaction to obtain the dichloroacetyl compound, the acid for the
addition reaction is at least one of
sulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid,
methanesulfonic acid and
phosphoric acid, and the acid for the alcoholysis reaction is at least one of
sulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid,
methanesulfonic acid and
phosphoric acid. The
molar ratio of the
tetrachloroethylene to the acid is 1: (1-10). By controlling the types of acids and increasing the temperature of the
addition reaction, the addition reaction of
tetrachloroethylene and acids in the absence of a catalyst is realized. Double bonds of tetrachloroethylene and
hydrogen protons are subjected to an addition reaction in a strong acid environment to form a cationic intermediate, then the cationic intermediate is combined with
acid radical anions to form an
adduct, and the adduct intermediate is high in activity, unstable and free of separation and can be directly subjected to a
hydrolysis reaction, an acidolysis reaction or an alcoholysis reaction with another substrate (such as water, acid or
alcohol) respectively. The synthesis of dichloroacetyl series compounds is realized, and the
route has universality and diversity.
