The invention provides a green preparation method and application of diphenyl
phosphine oxide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, mixing diphenyl alkoxy
phosphine, water and Lewis acid, and fully stirring for reaction to obtain a reaction solution containing diphenyl
phosphine oxide and
alcohol; step 2, distilling the reaction liquid, washing with water, standing, separating liquid, collecting an organic phase,
drying the organic phase, and cooling and crystallizing to obtain
diphenylphosphine oxide; and step 3, rectifying and purifying the distilled
alcohol, and pumping the distilled acid and
water washing liquid into a reaction kettle for cyclic
catalysis. The diphenylalkoxyphosphine is used as a
raw material and is subjected to
hydrolysis reaction with water under the
catalysis of the lewis acid to generate
diphenylphosphine oxide and
alcohol, the lewis acid can be continuously returned to the reaction kettle to participate in the reaction after being subjected to subsequent
distillation, the synthesis process is simple, the
atom economy is high, the reaction principle is simple, the conditions are easy to control, and the method is green and environment-friendly and can be used for industrial production.
