The invention provides a
green production method of sulfonated para-ester. The production method comprises the following steps: step 1, adding ethyl p-nitrobenzoate, a sulfonating agent and a
solvent into a
microwave reaction kettle for closed reaction, and cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is finished to obtain a reaction solution; step 2, carrying out vacuum
filtration on the reaction liquid, and respectively collecting filtrate and a
solid catalyst; and step 3, adding a
sodium carbonate solution into the filtrate, and separating out sulfonated para-ester. According to the
green production method of sulfonated para-ester provided by the invention, a
microwave-assisted sulfonation process is adopted, the selectivity of the product is improved, the reaction time is shortened, the
energy consumption is reduced, and the yield can be increased to 20-25% through
microwave action on reaction substances, rapid and uniform heating, precise
temperature control and reduction of by-products generated by transitional sulfonation; compared with the traditional concentrated
sulfuric acid sulfonation process, the
energy consumption is reduced by 60%, the sulfonating agent after the reaction can be recycled, no waste acid is discharged, and meanwhile, non-toxic
solvent water and
ethanol are used for replacing methylbenzene and DMF, so that
green production is realized.
