The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical production, and particularly relates to a method for industrially and continuously synthesizing
octafluorocyclobutane. The preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: S1, adding 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4-hexafluoro-3, 4-dichlorocyclobutane,
alkali metal fluoride and an organic aprotic
solvent into a reaction kettle, heating and stirring to carry out
fluorine-
chlorine exchange reaction to obtain a crude product
octafluorocyclobutane; and S2, carrying out rectification and adsorption two-stage
impurity removal on the crude
octafluorocyclobutane, and finally collecting the refined octafluorocyclobutane. According to the method provided by the invention, the product yield can reach 70.8%, and the product content is gt; the
water content is 1t; 0.1%,
chloride ion detection result; and 0.1%. According to the octafluorocyclobutane preparation method, the production process is free of
pollution, the prepared octafluorocyclobutane is high in selectivity, equipment is simple, continuity can be achieved, the yield is high, raw materials are cheap, the production cost is reduced, the product purity is high, and the octafluorocyclobutane preparation method is suitable for industrial production.
