The application belongs to the technical field of
high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a synthesis process of 2,3,6,7-
naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride. The steps are as follows: alpha,alpha,alpha',alpha',4,5-hexabromo-o-
xylene is reacted with 2-(triphenylphosphoranyl)
butanedioic acid dialkyl ester in an
organic solvent in the presence of an acid-binding agent to obtain 6,7-dibromo-2,3-
naphthalene dicarboxylate; the 6,7-dibromo-2,3-
naphthalene dicarboxylate is reacted with a
cyanation reagent to obtain 6,7-dicyano-2,3-naphthalene dicarboxylate; the 6,7-dicyano-2,3-naphthalene dicarboxylate is hydrolyzed in an alkaline
aqueous solution, and after the reaction is completed, acidification is performed to obtain 2,3,6,7-naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid; and the 2,3,6,7-naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid is dehydrated in an
acid anhydride environment to obtain 2,3,6,7-naphthalene tetracarboxylate dianhydride. The application has the advantages that raw and auxiliary materials are easy to obtain and low in cost, is suitable for
mass industrial production, the synthesis process avoids harsh environments such as high temperature and
high pressure, the conversion rate is high, the product quality is stable, and high-purity products can be obtained.
