The invention relates to a method for synthesizing N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide through
hydrogen peroxide serving as an
oxidizing agent. The method comprises the following steps: mixing N, N'-dicyclohexyl thiocarbamide and a
solvent, slowly adding a catalyst, dropwise adding
hydrogen peroxide at 15 to 25 DEG C to perform oxidation reaction, performing heat preservation for 1.5 h after dropwise adding is accomplished, then performing suction
filtration at 15 DEG C, and performing decoloration and reduced pressure
distillation, so as to obtain the N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The method hasthe advantages that the
oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide is adopted to ensure that reaction is more complete, the content of by-products N, N'-
dicyclohexylurea and cyclohexyl
isothiocyanate is controlled to be lower than 100 ppm, the product quality is improved, and the problem that
effluent brine is difficult to treat is solved; a
reaction system is optimized, a
triethylamine catalyst is adopted to ensure that the reaction is performed in a homogeneous
reaction system, the reaction yield is improved, the DCC yield is improved to greater than 93.5 percent, and the reaction is easy to control; and the material utilization is improved, the amount of waste is reduced, the investment in
environmental protection is reduced, and the production cost is reduced.
