The invention discloses a preparation method of 1-bromoadamantane. The method comprises the steps that
diamantane is added into a reactor, the temperature inside the reactor is controlled to be 10-15 DEG C, then, a
mixed solution of
bromine and an
organic solvent A is added dropwise into the reactor, dropping is completed in 1-3 h, then, the temperature is increased to 40 DEG C, the temperature is kept constant for 1 h, then, the temperature inside the reactor is gradually increased to 110 DEG C within 7 h in the 10 DEG C / h temperature
programming mode, and after the temperature is kept constant for 4-6 h, reduced pressure
distillation is performed to recycle a
mixed solution of
bromine and the
organic solvent A; then, an
organic solvent B is added into the reactor to perform cooling
crystallization, after filtering, filter cakes are washed with
distilled water till the pH value is 6-7, and airing is performed to obtain the 1-bromoadamantane. According to the method, in a bromination reaction, organic
solvent glacial
acetic acid (organic
solvent A) is introduced, compared with a traditional method, on the premise that the reactions are not affected, the organic solvents are added to restrain volatilization of the
bromine, the bromine can be effectively recycled, the recycling rate is larger than 90%, the cost is reduced, and
discharge of
waste gas, water and industrial residues is reduced.
