The invention relates to a preparation method of 3-fluoro-1, 3-
propane sultone, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of
battery electrolyte additives, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, dissolving a sulfonating
reagent in water, adding an initiator and
acrolein dimethyl acetal, heating to 40-100 DEG C, and reacting for 2-10 hours to generate an intermediate 3, 3-dimethoxy propyl
sulfonic acid; s2, cooling, adjusting to acidity, spin-
drying a water phase, extracting, carrying out suction
filtration, and spin-
drying a
solvent to obtain 3-formyl propyl
sulfonic acid; s3, the temperature is increased to 50 DEG C to 200 DEG C, and 3-hydroxy-1, 3-
propane sultone is obtained through cyclization; and S4, carrying out a fluorination reaction on the 3-hydroxy-1, 3-
propane sultone and a fluorination
reagent, removing the
solvent after the reaction is completed to obtain a crude product, and carrying out recrystallization purification to obtain the product 3-fluoro-1, 3-
propane sultone. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple to operate, and the obtained 3-fluoro-1, 3-
propane sultone is high in purity and high in yield.
