The application relates to the technical field of
organic compound synthesis, and particularly discloses a synthesis process of p-
nitroaniline. The synthesis process of p-
nitroaniline comprises the following steps: (1) preparing concentrated
ammonia water with a concentration of 38%-42% by using an
ammonia water preparation unit; (2) adding p-
nitrochlorobenzene, concentrated
ammonia water and an additive into a reaction kettle, and then carrying out heat preservation reaction under the condition of 150-170 DEG C and 5.6-6.2 MPa for 14-16 h; the additive comprises modified
cyclodextrin and
trehalose; (3) after pressure relief, the materials in the reaction kettle are transferred into a
water washing kettle to carry out
water washing and stirring for 1-2 h, and the material liquid after
water washing is subjected to
centrifugal separation to obtain p-
nitroaniline. According to the synthesis process, the modified
cyclodextrin and the
trehalose are compounded and synergized, the balance problem of the main reaction efficiency and the
side reaction inhibition is solved from the
reaction mechanism level, and finally the high yield and the high purity in the synthesis process of p-nitroaniline are simultaneously achieved.
