The invention relates to the technical field of compound production, and discloses a preparation method of a dichlorochrysanthemic acid intermediate 3, 3-dimethyl-4, 6, 6, 6-tetrachloro-
hexanoic acid methyl (ethyl) ester, which comprises the following steps: S1, uniformly mixing and heating raw materials
carbon tetrachloride and 3, 3-dimethyl-4, 6, 6, 6-tetrachloro-
hexanoic acid methyl (ethyl) ester in a reactor to obtain a mixed reaction solution; s2, dissolving a catalyst in an ester
organic solvent to obtain a catalyst
mixed solution; the catalyst is preferably
dibenzoyl peroxide; s3, dropwise adding the catalyst
mixed solution into the mixed reaction solution for reaction under the protection of
nitrogen; s4, when the conversion rate of the 3, 3-dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid methyl (ethyl) ester is larger than or equal to 98.5%, a free
radical trapping agent is dropwise added, after stirring reaction, post-treatment is carried out, and the tetrachloro
chrysanthemic acid methyl (ethyl) ester is obtained. According to the scheme, the catalyst is dissolved in the
solvent and dropwise added, and the free
radical trapping agent is added in the later stage, so that the risk of blocking the free radical
chain reaction due to unsafe factors such as overheating or non-uniform distribution of
peroxide in the reaction is effectively inhibited, the safety and the reliability are improved, and the industrial large-scale production is more facilitated.
