The invention provides a preparation method of 2,4-difluoro-3,5-dichloronitrobenzene, which belongs to the field of
pesticide intermediate preparation and solves the problem of existing synthesis of 2,4-difluoro-3,5-dichloronitrobenzene such as poor selectivity. The preparation method of 2,4-difluoro-3,5-dichloronitrobenzene comprises the following steps: S01: using 2,3-dichlorofluorobenzene as
raw material, using
nitric acid as
nitration reagent, and obtaining
nitration mixture of 2,3-dichloro-4-fluoronitrobenzene and 2-
fluorine-3,4-dichloronitrobenzene; S02: under the
catalysis of chlorination catalyst, introducing
chlorine gas into the
nitration mixture in step SO1 to obtain chlorinated mixture of 2,3,5-trichloro-4-fluoronitrobenzene and 2-
fluorine-3,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene; S03: under the
catalysis of a fluorination catalyst, fluorinating the chlorinated mixture in the step SO2 with
potassium fluoride to obtain the 2,4-difluoro-3,5-dichloronitrobenzene. The preparation method hasthe advantages of good reaction selectivity and the like.
