The invention relates to a synthesis method of a 2, 4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid compound, and relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The synthesis method of the 2, 4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid compound is to solve the problems of many by-products existing in synthesis method of the 2, 4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid compound in prior art, low conversion of
phenol, incomplete conversion, environmental
pollution resulted, the use of a large number of solvents, production of a large amount of
wastewater, high cost, complex technology, high
environmental risk, and being not conducive to industrial production. According to the synthesis method of the 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid compound, in the synergistic action of
anhydrous carbonate weak base and a catalyst, performing condensation of 2, 4-
dichlorophenol with
halogen acetate, and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is obtained directly by
hydrolysis and acidification. The process of the synthesis method of the 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid compound is accomplished by condensation,
hydrolysis and
acid hydrolysis in one pot without any
solvent and using
anhydrous carbonate weak base to react with 2, 4-
dichlorophenol can effectively inhibit the
hydrolysis of chloroacetate, improve the condensation conversion, reduce the content of
free phenol, keep a yield over 97% an
active ingredient more than 98%, and
free phenol content in 50-100 ppm.
