The invention discloses a preparation method of 3,3',4,4'-
diphenyl sulfone tetracarboxylicdianhydride. The preparation method comprises the following steps that 1, 4-chlorophthalic anhydride is dissolved into
dimethyl sulfoxide, then
sulfur and
sodium tert-butoxide are added,
carbon disulfide is dropwise added when the temperature is increased to 40 DEG C, after the raw materials completely react, part of the
solvent is recycled under reduced pressure, a remaining product is added into water, and filtering,
water washing and
drying are conducted to obtain 3,3',4,4'-diphenyl
thioether tetracarboxylicdianhydride; 2, 3,3',4,4'-diphenyl
thioether tetracarboxylicdianhydride is dissolved into
acetonitrile,
ceric ammonium nitrate,
tetrabutylammonium iodide and water are added,
potassium persulfate is added in batches under the heating condition, after 3,3',4,4'-diphenyl
thioether tetracarboxylicdianhydride completely reacts, water is added into reaction liquid, the temperature is lowered to 5 DEG C, filtering,
water washing and
drying are conducted, and 3,3',4,4'-
diphenyl sulfone tetracarboxylicdianhydride is obtained. The preparation method of 3,3',4,4'-
diphenyl sulfone tetracarboxylicdianhydride has the following advantages that the raw materials are easy to purchase, the reaction
solvent can be recycled, aftertreatment operation is easy, the yield is high, the product quality is good, and environmental
pollution is low.
