The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and provides a method for preparing o-
sulfonyl chloride / amine
methyl benzoate by using o-chloromethyl benzoate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1, mixing methyl o-chlorobenzoate and pure water, stirring, adding
sodium thiosulfate, and heating for reaction to obtain a solution; the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding
dichloroethane and pure water into a reaction kettle, stirring, cooling, introducing
chlorine, dropwise adding a solution, controlling the dropwise adding time and the temperature of the reaction kettle, carrying out a heat preservation reaction, removing
chlorine, and
drying to obtain o-
sulfonyl chloride methyl benzoate; and 2, on the basis of the prepared o-
sulfonyl chloride methyl benzoate, adding the o-
sulfonyl chloride methyl benzoate into
methanol while stirring, cooling, adding an
ammonia solution, heating for reaction to generate a crude o-sulfonamide methyl benzoate product, and adding an adsorbent for purification to obtain the o-sulfonamide methyl benzoate. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is relatively low in production cost, less in
waste gas and waste water and capable of realizing coordinated development of
economic benefits and environmental benefits, and the o-
sulfonyl chloride / methyl aminobenzoate is high in purity.
