The invention discloses an electrochemical preparation method of p-aminophenyl-beta-hydroxyethyl
sulfone. The method comprises the following steps: using an
electrolytic cell as a reactor, separatinga
cathode chamber and an
anode chamber by using a cationic diaphragm, respectively adding a
sulfuric acid solution into the
cathode chamber and the
anode chamber, keeping the distance between
electrode plates constant, adding p-nitrophenyl beta hydroxyethyl
sulfone serving as a
raw material into the
cathode chamber, controlling the
reaction temperature to be constant, performing electrifying for
electrolysis, keeping the
current density constant in the reaction process, and stopping electrifying when the introduced electric quantity reaches the target electric quantity so as to obtain an
electrolyte containing p-aminophenyl beta hydroxyethyl
sulfone sulfate; and neutralizing the catholyte with
sodium hydroxide until the catholyte is alkaline, carrying out rotary
evaporation to remove waterto obtain a
solid, dissolving the
solid with
methanol, performing filtering to remove insoluble solids, and carrying out rotary
evaporation on the filtrate to remove
methanol to obtain a
solid p-aminophenyl beta hydroxyethyl sulfone. The method provided by the invention is high in selectivity and yield, and the yield reaches 100% after sufficient electric quantity is introduced.
