The invention discloses a preparation method of 2',2',4'-trichloroacetophenon and belongs to the field of
organic synthesis. The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: the preparation method of 2',2',4'-trichloroacetophenon comprises the following steps: adding 450-550 parts by weight of m-
dichlorobenzene and 600-750 parts by weight of aluminum
chloride into an
acylation reactor, then raising the temperature of materials to 58-62 DEG C; dropwise adding 380-420 parts by weight of
chloroacetyl chloride into the
acylation reactor in 2-4 hours, and keeping the temperature at 58-62 DEG C; after dropwise adding, raising the temperature of the materials to 80-100 DEG C, and thermally reacting for 2-3 hours; putting the feed liquid after the
thermal reaction into a
hydrolysis reactor for hydrolyzing at a temperature not higher than 90 DEG C, and standing for 30-40 minutes after the
hydrolysis, wherein 1800-2200 parts by weight of dilute
hydrochloric acid is held in the
hydrolysis reactor in advance; extracting an oil layer in the feed liquid after the reaction into a rinsing reactor for rinsing till the PH value of the feed liquid is 4-6, extracting an
oil phase into a distiller, distilling a course product through negative pressure, dissolving by using a
solvent, crystallizing, centrifuging and
drying to acquire a finished product. The preparation method of 2',2',4'-trichloroacetophenon has the advantages that raw materials are easily available, the product yield is high, the product quality is good,
resource conservation is facilitated, the environment friendliness is achieved.
