The invention especially discloses a
solvent-free method for hydrogenation preparation of 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy
aniline from 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy
nitrobenzene, belonging to the field of
catalytic hydrogenation production. The method uses 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy
nitrobenzene as a
raw material and is characterized in that 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy
nitrobenzene reacts with
hydrogen at a temperature of 80 to 100 DEG C and a pressure of 0.3 to 2.5 MPa in the presence of a catalyst and an auxiliary agent, no
solvent is added, and water is separated after completion of the reaction so as to obtain chloroaniline. The catalyst is a
noble metal catalyst prepared through
independent research and development, and the usage amount of the catalyst is 0.05 to 20% of the
mass of 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy nitrobenzene; the auxiliary agent is a mixture of
ethanolamine and
pyridine, and the usage amount of the auxiliary agent is 0.01 to 10% of the
mass of 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy nitrobenzene; and chromatographic purity of obtained 2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxy
aniline is 99.5% or above, a dechlorination amount can be controlled within 0.1%, a conversion rate is 100%, and yield is 95% or above.
