The invention discloses a new preparation method of 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone. The method comprises the following steps: 1) through using AlCl3 as a catalyst, and
chlorobenzene and
thionyl chloride as reaction raw materials, performing a Friedel-Crafts reaction at 25-35 DEG C, then hydrolyzing the
mother liquor obtained through the Friedel-Crafts reaction, refluxing at 95-100 DEG C for 45-60 minutes, cooling the obtained
mother liquor to less than 20 DEG C after refluxing to obtain an organic phase and an aqueous phase; 2) performing reduced pressure
distillation on the organic phase, centrifuging, washing the obtained product to be neutral and be used as a product A for later use, wherein the main component of the product A is 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfoxide; and 3) through using the product A and the oxidant
hydrogen peroxide as raw materials and
acetic acid as satalytic
solvent, carrying out an oxidation reaction on the main component 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfoxide of the product A to obtain crude 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone. Therefore, the existing synthesis method of 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone is changed, the production cost of 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone is low, the product quality is good and the reaction time is short.
