The invention relates to a novel process for synthesizing gamma-mercaptopropyl triethoxy
silane by a water
phase method, which comprises the following steps: sequentially adding deionized water,
sodium chloride,
sodium hydrosulfide,
potassium iodide,
sodium carbonate,
tetrabutylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide into a reaction container, dropwise adding 3-chloropropyl triethoxy
silane into the reaction container, keeping the temperature at 50-55 DEG C, reacting for 1-2 hours, filtering, washing and
drying to obtain the gamma-mercaptopropyl triethoxy
silane. The method comprises the following steps: adding 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane into a reaction solution, reacting for 50-75 minutes, monitoring the reaction process through
gas chromatography until the residual 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane in the reaction solution is less than 0.5%, completing the reaction, cooling to
room temperature, standing for 10-20 minutes until two phases are layered, washing and
drying the organic phase, and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on the organic
reagent to obtain gamma-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane. Compared with the existing aqueous
phase synthesis process, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the
mass transfer efficiency of the reaction can be remarkably improved, so that the reaction time is shortened, the yield is improved, the generation of by-products such as
ethanol is effectively reduced, and meanwhile, the method is relatively light in smell in the reaction process, simple and convenient in process and easy to realize large-scale industrial production.
