The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of
fine chemical products, in particular to a synthesis method of 2-methyl-3-butyne-2-amine, which comprises the following steps: S1, mixing methyl butynol and a catalyst, dropwise adding
thionyl chloride at the temperature of-10-5 DEG C for chlorination, carrying out heat preservation reaction for 1-2 hours, adding a saturated
sodium chloride solution at the temperature of 5 DEG C for washing, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain 2-methyl-3-butyne-2-amine; after liquid separation, taking out methyl butyne
chloride of an organic phase for later use; and S2, adding the methyl butyne chloride obtained in the S1, a composite catalyst containing 8-hydroxyquinolinone and a
polymerization inhibitor into a reaction kettle, after gas replacement is qualified, slowly introducing
liquid ammonia at 0-20 DEG C for ammonolysis, keeping the pressure at 0.4-0.8 MPa, after
ammonia introduction is finished, carrying out heat preservation reaction at 20-25 DEG C for 8-12 hours, after the reaction is finished, relieving the pressure, expelling
ammonia by
nitrogen, adding water and rectifying to obtain the 2-methyl-3-butyne-2-amine. According to the method, black waste acid in the methyl butynol chlorination process can be reduced, the increasingly serious
chemical pollution problem is solved, meanwhile, silver
noble metal catalyst substitutes in the ammonolysis process are developed, and the production cost is reduced.
