The invention discloses a method for preparing tetrabutylurea by using an oil-water two-
phase reaction system, which is characterized in that bis (trichloromethyl)
carbonate and
dibutylamine are used as raw materials, the oil-water two-
phase reaction system is designed and provided, a
solvent capable of effectively dissolving bis (trichloromethyl)
carbonate and
dibutylamine is adopted, meanwhile, a water phase is added into the
reaction system to perform liquid seal on the
reaction system, can absorb
hydrogen chloride gas generated by the reaction at the same time, and promotes the forward proceeding of the whole reaction, and the method has the characteristics of high conversion rate,
high selectivity and the like. The method for preparing tetrabutylurea by using the oil-water two-
phase reaction system comprises the following steps: dissolving bis (trichloromethyl)
carbonate in an
organic solvent, placing the solution in a reactor, and simultaneously adding water into the reactor to perform liquid seal on the
reaction system; and dissolving
dibutylamine in an
organic solvent, slowly injecting the dibutylamine into the organic solution of bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate through a micro-
injection pump, carrying out
chemical reaction, and carrying out refining treatment to obtain the product tetrabutylurea.
