A preparation method of isobutyl 3,5-diamino-4-chlorobenzoate comprises the following basic steps: step 1, putting
raw material ester compound, a
solvent, a catalyst
Raney nickel and a dehalogenation inhibitor into a
high pressure reaction kettle at one time, sealing, and adopting 0.2-0.3 MPa of
nitrogen gas and
hydrogen gas for replacing gas in the
high pressure reaction kettle for 3 times respectively; step 2, after completely sealing in the step 1, adding the
hydrogen gas pressure to 3.0 MPa, increasing the temperature of the
high pressure reaction kettle, carrying out a reaction, and timely replenishing the
hydrogen gas pressure to ensure that the pressure in the high pressure reaction kettle in the reaction process is maintained at 3.0 MPa; step 3, adding hydrogen gas to maintain the pressure at 3.0 MPa in the step 2, carrying out a reaction for about 1.5-2 hours, finishing the reaction after the
system absorbs hydrogen gas no longer, and overall cooling; step 4, after the step 3 is finished, recycling the catalyst
Raney nickel; step 5, carrying out reduced pressure concentration of a filtrate to be viscous, putting into a refrigerator, and cooling and crystallizing at low temperature; and step 6, desolventizing the
solvent alcohol and the dehalogenation inhibitor, recycling and reusing. The method is low in cost, safe and feasible.
