Synthesis method

Production method: Its preparation methods include the following.
① Para-chlorotoluene method
Put para-chlorotoluene and catalyst ZrCl₄ into the reactor, pass chlorine gas to carry out chlorination reaction, control the amount of chlorine gas until the reaction is completed, and stop reaction, the obtained reactant contains 85.1% of 2,4-dichlorotoluene. If FeCl₃ is used as the catalyst to perform the chlorination reaction at 10-15°C until the relative density of the solution is 1.025, the product will contain 2,4-dichlorotoluene and 3,4-dichlorotoluene, the mass ratio of the two components is 100:30. After chlorination is completed, wash with water until neutral, and treat it with 10% NaOH solution at 100-110°C to remove other impurities. The treated chloride is distilled and separated in a high-efficiency distillation tower (2,4-dichloro Toluene b.p.200℃, 3,4-dichlorotoluene b.p.207℃). The yields of 2,4-dichlorotoluene and 3,4-dichlorotoluene were 64.4% and 19.8% respectively.

②O-chlorotoluene method
O- Chlorotoluene is chlorinated using sulfuryl chloride as the chlorinating agent at 142-196°C. The products include 2,4-dichlorotoluene and 2,3-dichlorotoluene, as well as unreacted raw materials. Its composition They are 55%, 6% and 39% respectively. After distillation (2,4-dichlorotoluene b.p. 200℃, 2,3-dichlorotoluene b.p. 207~208℃, o-chlorotoluene b.p. 157~159℃), 2,4-dichlorotoluene is separated.
③O-nitrotoluene method
O-nitrotoluene is chlorinated in the presence of FeCl₃ catalyst at 35~40℃. When the relative density of the reactants reaches 1.320(15 ℃), wash the material until neutral. The reactants include 15% of raw materials, 49% of 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene, 21% of 4-chloro-2-nitrotoluene, and 15% of polychlorides. After distillation and crystallization, 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene and 4-chloro-2-nitrotoluene were obtained, with yields of 50% and more than 30% respectively. 4-chloro-2-nitrotoluene was added Hydrogen reduction reaction and steam distillation yield 4-chloro-2-aminotoluene, which is then diazotized and CH₂Cl₂ is added for Sandmeyer reaction to yield 2,4 -Dichlorotoluene. This method is used to produce 4-chloro-2-nitrotoluene, a by-product of 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene (used as an intermediate for the herbicide quinclorac).
④2,4-Diaminotoluene method
2,4-Diaminotoluene is diazotized in the presence of NaNO₂ and hydrochloric acid, and then in Cu_{2 Sandmeyer reaction is carried out in the presence of}Cl₂ to obtain 2,4-dichlorotoluene.
⑤3-Chloro-4-methylaniline method
Add 3-chloro-4-methylaniline and hydrochloric acid into the reaction kettle, and add NaNO₂The aqueous solution is added dropwise within 2 to 3 hours to carry out the diazotization reaction, and then the diazotization solution is added dropwise to the diazotization solution containing Cu₂Cl₂ at 2 to 5°C. The hydrochloric acid solution is subjected to Sandmeyer reaction to obtain 2,4-dichlorotoluene.

Among the above methods, p-chlorotoluene is used The chlorides produced as raw materials with o-chlorotoluene contain many impurities and have similar boiling points. Only by using a high-efficiency distillation tower to obtain more than 98% of 2,4-dichlorotoluene can we obtain 2,4-dichlorotoluene. These two methods are difficult to operate and require high equipment investment costs. The 2,4-diaminotoluene method is not suitable for industrialization, but the basic principles of preparing 2,4-dichlorotoluene by the o-nitrotoluene method and the 3-chloro-4-methylaniline method are the same, both of which require diazotization and Sandmeyer Reactive, there is a disadvantage of more waste water. The o-nitrotoluene method co-produces 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene, which is further reduced to obtain 2-chloro-6-aminotoluene, which is an important intermediate for the production of the herbicide quinclorac.

Purpose
