The invention discloses a method for producing 2,6-dichloro benzal
chloride with a byproduct of 2,6-dichlorotoluene. Through a chlorination-rectification-chlorination process, the method is capable ofmeeting a purpose of continuous reactions. The method comprises the following steps: by adopting a backpack type reaction rectification
coupling mode and 2-
chlorine-6-nitrotoluene as a
raw material,adding the
raw material and a catalyst into a chlorination reactor coupled with a rectification
tower, and introducing
chlorine to implement a chlorination reaction; transferring the material after the chlorination reaction into a #1 rectification
tower, backflowing a top part of the
tower, and discharging the material from the tower top to obtain 2,6-dichlorotoluene; transferring the residual material after the chlorination reaction into a #2 rectification tower, backflowing the top part of the tower, and discharging the material from the tower top to obtain 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene, mixing the 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene with a fresh
raw material, circulating, transferring into the chlorination reactor, collecting residual liquid at the bottom of the #2 rectification tower as 2-chloro-6-nitrobenzyl
chloride and 2,6-dichloro monobenzyl
chloride, further mixing the product with the fresh raw material, feeding back to the chlorination reactor coupled with the rectification tower, and carrying out deep chlorination to obtaining 2,6-dichloro benzal chloride.
