The application discloses a method for continuously synthesizing isooctyl
chloroformate, which comprises the following steps: preparing a
continuous reaction device which comprises a photochemical
tower, a transfer kettle and a chase light
tower which are communicated with each other, feeding isooctanol and
phosgene into the photochemical
tower to perform a reaction, overflowing the obtained esterification liquid to the transfer kettle, performing gas-liquid separation on the obtained
tail gas outside the tower, and feeding the liquid light into the tower; controlling the temperature of the transfer kettle at 30-40 DEG C, feeding the esterification liquid into the chase light tower after the transfer kettle collects a certain amount of esterification liquid, controlling the temperature of the chase light tower at 40-80 DEG C, feeding
nitrogen into the chase light tower to perform chase light, and collecting high-purity isooctyl
chloroformate in the chase light tower, wherein the content of the isooctyl
chloroformate is greater than or equal to 99%, and the yield is greater than or equal to 97%. The method realizes
continuous production under the premise of ensuring the quality and yield of the product, has small production
land occupation, small liquid holdup of the
reaction system, small risk, high production efficiency, easily controlled
process conditions, little waste, accords with the green and
environmental protection production concept, and is suitable for industrial production.
