The invention provides a green synthesis method of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. According to the method, 1,1-difluoro-1,2-
dichloroethane is used as a starting material;
elimination reaction is performed to obtain 1,1-difluoro-2-chloroethylene; the 1,1-difluoro-2-chloroethylene and
bromine are subjected to addition to obtain 1,1-difluoro-1,2-dibromo-2-
chloroethane; then, the
elimination reaction is performed to obtain a 1,1-difluoro-2-
bromine-2-chloroethylene; then, the 1,1-difluoro-2-
bromine-2-chloroethylene and the bromine are subjected to addition to obtain 1,1-difluoro-1,2,2-tribromo-2-
chloroethane; then,
sulfur trioxide is used for oxidizing the 1,1-difluoro-1,2,2-tribromo-2-
chloroethane; 1,1-difluoro-1-bromoacetyl
chloride is obtained; finally, the 1,1-difluoro-1-bromoacetyl
chloride and ethyl
alcohol are esterified to obtain 2,2-difluoro-2-
ethyl bromoacetate. The synthesis method has the advantages that the problems of
recovery and utilization of waste materials of 1,1-difluoro-1,2-
dichloroethane (R132b) are solved; no organic solvents are used in the reaction process; the oxidation step uses SO3 for oxidation; high temperature and
high pressure or concentrated
sulfuric acid is not needed; the safety is enhanced; the discharging of waste acid is reduced; the
green production requirement is met; the product yield is relatively high; the green synthesis method is suitable for industrial production.
