The invention provides a synthesis method for preparing high-yield
tetraacetylethylenediamine at one time, which comprises the following steps: S1) taking
ethylenediamine and
toluene as a base, dropwise adding
acetic acid, heating and refluxing at the same time, and dehydrating in a water segregator until no water is generated; s2) adding
acetic anhydride and methylbenzene, carrying out low-temperature azeotropy to take out
acetic acid, extracting and separating
acetic acid from azeotropic liquid through
ice water,
drying a
raffinate phase, then recycling the
raffinate phase, carrying out high-temperature
reflux reaction for 1 hour, and repeating low-temperature acid extraction and high-temperature reaction for three times respectively; the method has the advantages that the
heat supply process and the methylbenzene low-temperature acid extraction process are repeatedly and sectionally implemented, so that the production efficiency is improved, the single yield is improved, the color of the product is better, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
