The invention provides a method for synthesizing 2, 6-dichlorobenzoyl
chloride and purifying by-products, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of organic compounds. According to the method, 2, 6-dichlorotoluene and
chlorine are subjected to a chlorination reaction, and after the reaction is finished, a chlorination reaction solution is obtained; and carrying out vacuum rectification on the chlorination reaction liquid to obtain a front fraction and a main fraction. And the front fraction is continuously subjected to reduced pressure rectification to obtain a by-product 1, 2, 3-
trichlorobenzene. Carrying out
hydrolysis reaction on the main fraction to obtain
hydrolysis reaction liquid; and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on the
hydrolysis reaction solution to obtain the 2, 6-dichlorobenzaldehyde. 2, 2, 6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and
chlorine are subjected to a secondary chlorination reaction, and after the reaction is finished, a 2, 6-dichlorobenzoyl
chloride crude product is obtained; and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on the crude product to obtain a 2, 6-dichlorobenzoyl
chloride finished product. According to the method, the by-product 1, 2, 3-
trichlorobenzene generated in the synthesis process of 2, 6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride is efficiently recycled, the
resource utilization rate is increased, and the
treatment burden of three wastes is relieved.
