The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of organic compounds, and particularly discloses a synthesis process of paranitroaniline. The synthesis process comprises the following steps: (1) preparing strong
ammonia water with the concentration of 38-42% by using an
ammonia water preparation unit; (2) adding p-
nitrochlorobenzene, stronger
ammonia water and an auxiliary agent into the reaction kettle, and then carrying out heat preservation reaction for 14-16 hours under the conditions that the temperature is 150-170 DEG C and the pressure is 5.6-6.2 MPa; the auxiliary agent comprises modified
cyclodextrin and
trehalose; and (3) transferring the material in the reaction kettle into a
water washing kettle after pressure relief, carrying out
water washing stirring for 1-2 hours, and carrying out
centrifugal separation on the material liquid after
water washing to obtain p-
nitroaniline. According to the synthesis process disclosed by the invention, the problem of balance between main reaction efficiency and
side reaction inhibition is solved from a
reaction mechanism level through compounding and
synergy of the modified
cyclodextrin and the
trehalose, and finally, high yield and high purity in the paranitroaniline synthesis process are synchronously achieved.
