The application discloses a synthesis method of 1,3-bis(citraconimidemethyl)
benzene, citraconic anhydride and m-xylylenediamine are reacted in the presence of an
organic acid and a
benzene series
solvent to obtain 1,3-bis(citraconimidemethyl)
benzene, wherein the
mass of the
organic acid accounts for 30-50% of the total
mass of the
organic acid and the benzene series
solvent. In the synthesis method, the benzene series
solvent and the organic acid are used as double solvents, the organic acid also has the function of a catalyst, the amount of material is small, the condensation
reflux temperature is low, the inhibition effect on amine byproducts is good, the
corrosion of the reaction container is small, the reaction time is short, the double solvents after the reaction do not need to be separated, can be directly used, the atomic economy is high, and the industrialization is more favorable.
