The application discloses a production method of preparing tetrabutyl
tin with single
solvent, and particularly relates to the technical field of
organic compound synthesis. The application solves the technical problems of large
solvent loss,
high energy consumption of separation, complex water removal process and low product yield in the traditional THF and
toluene mixed
solvent process. In the application,
isopropyl ether is used as single solvent,
magnesium and chlorobutane are used to generate butylmagnesium
chloride in the
isopropyl ether; then,
tin tetrachloride is dropped into the mixture, and tetrabutyl
tin and
anhydrous magnesium chloride are generated by continuous stirring reaction;
hydrochloric acid is added to the
system to dissolve the
solid precipitate, and the upper organic phase is obtained by standing and separating; finally, the
isopropyl ether is recovered by normal pressure
distillation, and the tetrabutyl tin is obtained by reduced pressure
distillation. The application realizes efficient
recovery and recycling of the solvent by using the low
boiling point and water insolubility of the
isopropyl ether; and the
molecular sieve drying step is omitted by using the in-situ water absorption property of the by-product
anhydrous magnesium chloride.
