The invention discloses a preparation method of anisic
aldehyde. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1, firstly adding N,N-
dimethyl formamide and
pyridine in a reaction kettle, then at a low temperature, dropping
triphosgene dissolved by
chloroform and carrying out a reaction, after dropping of
triphosgene is finished, carrying out heat preservation, and continuing the reaction for 0.2-1 h; 2, keeping the low temperature, adding
aluminum trichloride into the reaction liquid in batches, and after completing addition of
aluminum trichloride, carrying out heat preservation for 0.2-1 h; 3,
steaming out
chloroform in the kettle, making the kettle temperature reach 60-100 DEG C, and slowly dropping
anisole with keeping the temperature; 4, after completing dropping of
anisole, continuing to heat and stir for 6-10 h at the temperature of 60-100 DEG C; and 5, after the reaction is finished,
quenching the reaction liquid with a liquid caustic soda solution, washing, extracting, desolventizing, and rectifying to obtain the final product anisic
aldehyde. The method has the characteristics of simpleness, easy control and industrialized production; and the produced anisic
aldehyde is safe and stable, and the production efficiency is improved.
