The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical
drug synthesis and specifically relates to a preparation method of 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine. The preparation method of the 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine comprises the following steps: (1) adding 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine and a polar aprotic
solvent into a reaction
bottle; after the 6-dichlorodiphenylamine and the polar aprotic
solvent are stirred and dissolved, adding
chlorobenzene, alkali and a catalyst to an obtained mixture; stirring and heating the mixture to 120-160 degrees centigrade; and preserving the heat of the mixture for reaction for 2-4 h, wherein the catalyst is nanometer
copper oxide or nanometer
copper iodide; and (2) cooling a reaction mixture obtained in the step (1) to 50-90 degrees centigrade; filtering the cooledreaction mixture; carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on a filter liquor to obtain a crude product; and purifying the crude product to obtain the 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine. The preparation method of the 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine, provided by the invention, has the advantages that the
catalytic efficiency of the catalyst is high, the usage of the catalyst is less, the selectivity of a reaction
solvent is good, the reaction solvent is easy to recover, the
raw material cost is low, the yield of a prepared product is high, the purity is high, the quality is high, and the preparation method of the 2, 6-dichlorodiphenylamine is easy to realize industrial production and application.
