Properties and stability
1. Avoid contact with oxides. Dry o-chlorotoluene is non-corrosive to metals, but copper containers are not suitable. Under the influence of heat and moisture, highly corrosive hydrogen chloride is gradually released. Chemical properties: When heated to 260°C with air in sodium hydroxide solution under pressure, o-chlorobenzoic acid, o-chlorobenzaldehyde and a small amount of formic acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid are generated. In the presence of copper, it is heated to 350~360°C with sodium hydroxide solution under pressure to generate o-cresol and m-cresol. It reacts with ammonia under pressure and in the presence of a catalyst to form o-toluidine. Use ferric chloride, antimony chloride, and aluminum amalgam as catalysts to perform chlorination reaction to generate dichlorotoluene and trichlorotoluene. Chlorination is carried out under the catalysis of light or phosphorus pentachloride, and a chlorine substitution reaction occurs on the side chain to generate o-chlorobenzyl chloride, o-chlorodichlorobenzyl and trichlorobenzyl. When heated with aluminum trichloride and hydrogen chloride, part of the isomerization occurs and is converted into m-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotoluene. Sulfonation with fuming sulfuric acid produces 4-chloro-3-methylbenzenesulfonic acid. 2.This product is toxic; it can evaporate together with water vapor. The operation site should be well ventilated, the equipment should be sealed, and the operators should wear protective equipment. See parachlorotoluene.
Storage method
Stored sealed in a cool, dry place. Make sure the workspace has good ventilation. Keep sealed. Keep away from fire sources, anti-static and anti-explosion. Store away from oxidizing agents.
Stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources and fires, and stored separately from oxidants and food additives. Pack and unload with care during transportation to prevent packaging damage. Iron drum packaging. 200kg per barrel. Store and transport according to regulations on toxic chemicals.
Synthesis method
Originated from o-toluidine through diazotization and substitution. Add o-toluidine, hydrochloric acid and water to the reaction pot, stir and heat to 50°C, keep for 0.5h, cool to 0-5°C, add sodium nitrite solution dropwise until the potassium iodide starch test paper turns blue to obtain a diazonium salt solution. In addition, stir water, copper sulfate and sodium chloride evenly, heat to 80°C to dissolve, cool to 40°C, add sodium sulfite solution dropwise, stir for 0.5h, cool and let stand. Separate the upper wastewater. Dissolve the precipitated cuprous chloride with hydrochloric acid, slowly add the above diazonium salt solution, the temperature does not exceed 25°C, stir for 0.5h, leave to separate, discard the water layer, and wash the crude o-chlorotoluene with acid and alkali. Distill under normal pressure and collect the 157-160°C fraction to obtain the finished product. In addition, toluene can also be obtained by aromatic ring chlorination and separation.
Purpose
Used as intermediates for dyes, medicines, organic synthesis, and solvents for rubber and synthetic resins.
