The invention discloses a synthetic process for efficiently and continuously producing 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone, which comprises the following steps: carrying out Friedel-Crafts
acylation on
thionyl chloride and excessive
chlorobenzene under the action of a lewis acid catalyst, carrying out pyrohydrolysis and adding
chlorobenzene to carry out layering after the reaction is finished, adding anoxidizing agent into a
sulfoxide organic layer to carry out oxidization, adding
activated carbon to carry out decoloration and filtering; cooling filtrate and carrying out rejection
filtration to obtain 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone. The synthetic process has the
advantage that
chlorobenzene not only is a
raw material, but also is a reaction
solvent, so that cross use of various solvents is avoided. Particularly, use of a great amount of
acetic acid used as an oxidation reaction
solvent is avoided, and
corrosion to equipment and environmental
pollution are avoided. In the integral process flow,separation and extraction of an intermediate 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfoxide are avoided, so that production time of the product is greatly shortened, and production cost is saved. By using
hydrogen peroxide,
acetic acid and concentrated
sulfuric acid as mixed oxidizing agents, oxidization capacity of
hydrogen peroxide is greatly improved, yield and purity of the product are greatly improved, yield of the product reaches 90% or more, and purity of the product is greater than 99.8%.
