The invention discloses a method for preparing methyltriacetoxysilane from
acetic anhydride-containing
acetyl chloride distillation tailings, and relates to the technical field of organic
silicon synthesis, the method comprises the following steps: adding methyl
trichlorosilane and
acetic anhydride-containing
acetyl chloride distillation tailings into a reaction kettle, stirring and heating; after a total
reflux condition is reached, maintaining total
reflux for a period of time, and then starting to collect
acetyl chloride; continuously heating until the collection of acetyl
chloride is completed, stopping heating, and when the temperature of the kettle is reduced to
room temperature, heating again and starting vacuum negative pressure; when the kettle temperature reaches a set value, stopping heating, stopping stirring, and closing vacuum negative pressure; and after the kettle temperature is reduced to
room temperature, adding pretreated
activated carbon, carrying out decoloration reaction, and carrying out suction
filtration after the reaction is completed, thereby obtaining the product. According to the method, a large amount of
acetic anhydride in the acetyl
chloride distillation tailings is used as a
raw material and directly reacts with methyl
trichlorosilane to prepare methyltriacetoxysilane, and the quality of the obtained product is remarkably higher than that of a product prepared by a normal process.
