The invention belongs to the field of organic synthetic
chemistry, and discloses a high-efficiency preparation method of 1, 3-
propane sultone, which comprises the following steps: 1, chlorination: in the presence of a catalyst, stirring 1, 3-
propane sultone and a chlorinating agent in a first
organic solvent for reaction, with the catalyst being azodiisobutyronitrile or
dibenzoyl peroxide; the chlorinating agent is selected from N-chlorosuccinimide or
trichloroisocyanuric acid; 2,
elimination reaction: dissolving the 2-chloro-1, 3-
propane sultone prepared in the step 1 in a second
organic solvent, adding a dehalogenating agent and a
polymerization inhibitor, and stirring for reaction; the dehalogenating agent is
triethylamine; the
polymerization inhibitor is selected from one or two of p-hydroxyanisole, p-tert-butylcatechol,
hydroquinone and N, N-diethyl
hydroxylamine; and 3, concentrating, crystallizing and
drying to obtain a pure product of 1, 3-allylsultone. The method has the advantages of mild and controllable
reaction conditions, high product yield, good purity, remarkable reduction of the production cost, simple process steps and suitability for industrial large-scale production.
