The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and discloses a preparation method of
acetic acid 2, 2-difluoroethyl ester. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) dispersing acetate and an iodized salt catalyst in an aprotic polar
solvent to obtain a mixed material 1; (2) dissolving 2-chloro-1, 1-difluoroethane and / or 2-bromo-1, 1-difluoroethane in an aprotic polar
solvent, so as to obtain a mixed material 2; and (3) in a normal-pressure
reflux reactor, heating the mixed material 1 to a
reaction temperature, then dropwise adding the mixed material 2, after dropwise adding is completed, continuing to carry out heat preservation reaction until the reaction is completed, and separating a product to obtain the 2, 2-difluoroethyl acetate. The iodized salt is used as the catalyst for the reaction, so that the conversion rate and the yield of the reaction can be obviously improved. By optimizing a
solvent and a
feeding mode, the loss of reaction raw materials is reduced, the conversion rate is increased, a high-pressure reaction kettle is not needed for reaction, the requirement on equipment is low, the reaction condition is mild, and industrial production is favorably realized.
