The invention discloses a preparation method of 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminobiphenyl The method comprises the following steps: in the presence of a first catalyst and a second catalyst, carrying out an amino
substitution reaction on dichlorobiphenyl
diamine and an ammoniation
reagent to obtain a crude 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminobiphenyl product; and carrying out post-treatment on the crude 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminobiphenyl product to obtain a purified 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminobiphenyl product, wherein the first catalyst is a mixture of specified
amino acid and
cuprous salt, and the second catalyst is a
phase transfer catalyst. Specific
amino acid and the
phase transfer catalyst are innovatively introduced to assist a small amount of
cuprous salt in forming a new combined catalyst, so the smooth proceeding of the amino
substitution reaction can be efficiently promoted, and reaction yield and product purity are improved. The usage of
cuprous salt in the catalyst is obviously reduced, so the post-treatment pressure of high-concentration heavy
metal salt
wastewater is effectively reduced.
Reaction temperature and reaction pressure are milder, so
energy consumption is reduced, the safety of a process flow is improved, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.
