The invention discloses a synthesizing method for 9,10-dimethylanthracene, and belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis. The method comprises the steps that o-
xylene is taken as raw materials, under the action of a
manganese acetate catalyst and a
paraldehyde accelerant,
acetic acid is added, and the materials are mixed and react; after
centrifugal separation is performed, a mixture obtained in the last step is dissolved in water under the certain pressure, a
sodium bromide catalyst is added, and after
hydrogen gas is introduced for a reaction, filtering, washing and
drying are performed to obtain
phthalic acid; o-
xylene is taken again, liquid
bromine and
iron powder are added to be mixed with the o-
xylene, the temperature is lowered for a reaction, after cooling is performed,
magnesium powder and glutamyl transpeptidase are added, and sealed preservation and enzymolysis are performed; a product obtained in the last step is taken out to be dried, the prepared
phthalic acid is added,
acetic acid and concentrated
sulfuric acid are added, the materials are mixed and react, standing and filtering are performed, and
drying is performed to obtain the 9,10-dimethylanthracene. The synthesizing method has the advantages that the synthesizing steps are simple, the preparation cost is low, by-products obtained in the synthesizing process are few, the obtained 9,10-dimethylanthracene is high in purity, and the yield reaches 94.5% or above.
