The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and provides a high-purity 2, 6-dichloro-4-aminophenol synthesis method, which comprises: A1, mixing paranitroaniline and a 20-35 wt%
hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, heating, introducing
chlorine gas, and carrying out a reaction to obtain 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitroaniline; a2, mixing the 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitroaniline with methylbenzene, so as to obtain a 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitroaniline solution; mixing
sulfuric acid,
purified water and a first catalyst to obtain liquid; a3,
sulfuric acid and nitrososulfuric acid are mixed and cooled, a 2, 6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline solution is dropwise added, a diazonium solution is obtained, the temperature is increased, the diazonium solution is dropwise added into the liquid, and a 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitrophenol phase is obtained; and A4, adding the 2, 6-dichloro-4-
nitrophenol,
toluene and a second catalyst into the reaction kettle, introducing
hydrogen, and carrying out
hydrogenation reaction to obtain the 2, 6-dichloro-4-aminophenol. The synthesis method disclosed by the invention is simple, the used second catalyst can be recycled, the generation amount of three wastes is small, and the yield and the purity of the 2, 6-dichloro-4-aminophenol are high.
