The invention discloses a method for preparing 1-(4-chlorphenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-1-
acetone. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, carrying out reaction on cyclopropyl
methyl ketone and p-chlorobenzyl for 2-4 hours at the temperature
ranging from 90 DEG C to 110 DEG C, and obtaining a compound I after
post treatment, wherein the cyclopropyl
methyl ketone and the p-chlorobenzyl are used as reactants,
sodium hydride is used as a catalyst and toluol is used as
solvent; secondly, leading the compound I to react with
magnesium in a isopropanol dissolvent at the temperature
ranging from 45 DEG C to 60 DEG C, and obtaining a compound II after
post treatment; and thirdly, adding the compound II to DMF (
Dimethyl Formamide), then adding
sodium hydroxide, importing
oxygen for 8 hours to15 hours under stirring for reaction, controlling the temperature to range from 10 DEG C to 25 DEG C, and finally obtaining the 1-(4-chlorphenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-1-
acetone after
post treatment. The preparation method has the advantages of simple steps, cheap and easily obtained raw materials, no deadly poison, low cost; less three-waste (
waste gas, waste water and industrial residue)
pollution, suitability for industrial production and higher yield and content of end products.
