The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of 2-sulfydryl-6-chlorobenzoic acid, which comprises the following steps: dissolving chlorobenzoic acid in
dimethyl sulfoxide, adding
sodium hydrogen sulfite, and stirring at
room temperature; the preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving mercaptobenzoate in
dimethyl sulfoxide, adding
sodium carbonate and dimethylamino, and reacting at high temperature; cooling to
room temperature, and adjusting the pH value to be neutral by using
dilute acid; adding into
diethyl ether, uniformly mixing, adding into
dilute acid, and standing for layering to obtain 2-sulfydryl-6-chlorobenzoic acid; the preparation method of the chlorobenzoic acid comprises the following steps: mixing parachlorotoluene with water, adding a supported catalyst, stirring and heating; after the temperature rises to 80 DEG C, adding
potassium permanganate in batches for reaction; and filtering, adjusting the pH value to be acidic by using
dilute acid, and then carrying out suction
filtration and
drying to obtain the chlorobenzoic acid. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, chlorobenzoic acid and mercaptobenzoate are subjected to a reaction to obtain 2-mercapto-6-chlorobenzoic acid with high yield; the method has the characteristics of simplified operation,
energy consumption reduction, shortened production period and low production cost.
