The invention discloses a method for synthesizing 2, 6-
dichloroaniline through light induction, and relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis.The method comprises the steps that
aniline and
acetic anhydride are mixed and stirred, and
acetanilide is obtained;
acetanilide is dropped into concentrated
sulfuric acid to obtain a
mixed solution, the
mixed solution and concentrated
sulfuric acid are subjected to a
continuous flow reaction through a microchannel according to a preset
molar ratio, and p-nitroacetanilide is obtained; the method comprises the following steps: mixing p-nitroacetanilide and a photocatalytic solution, placing the mixture in a photocatalytic reactor, and in an
inert gas
atmosphere, carrying out a catalytic chlorination reaction through
irradiation of visible light with a preset
wavelength to obtain 2, 6-dichloro-4-nitroacetanilide; the preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing 2, 6-dichloro-4-nitroacetanilide with a
hydrochloric acid solution, and heating and refluxing to obtain 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitroaniline; the method comprises the following steps: by taking
palladium on carbon as a catalyst, carrying out a
denitrification reaction on 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitroaniline under the action of
hydrogen to obtain 2, 6-
dichloroaniline; the method can solve the technical problems of poor reaction selectivity, low yield and loss of traditional synthesis of 2, 6-
dichloroaniline.
