The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical production, and discloses a synthetic method and equipment of
indane alcohol. The method comprises the following steps: adding pentamethylindane and
aluminum trichloride into a reaction kettle to form an initial mixture, and simultaneously preparing a
mixed solution of
chlorobenzene and epoxypropane; dropwise adding the
mixed solution into the initial mixture under continuous stirring, performing continuous circulating cooling through an external circulating heat exchange
system formed by a tubular
heat exchanger in the dropwise adding process, and controlling the
reaction temperature to be within a preset low-temperature range; after dropwise adding, preserving heat and stirring, and then
quenching, separating, washing and performing reduced pressure
distillation to obtain a product. According to the Friedel-Crafts
alkylation reaction device and method, through the integrated tubular heat exchange and automatic
temperature control strategy, the problems that Friedel-Crafts
alkylation reaction releases heat violently and the temperature is prone to being out of control are effectively solved, stable control over the reaction process is achieved, the reaction yield and product selectivity are remarkably improved, the production period is shortened,
energy consumption is reduced, and the device and method have good industrial application prospects and are suitable for industrial production. And a foundation is provided for the development of a
continuous reaction process.
