2,5-Dichloro-p-xylene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

In a 500 ml round bottom flask, 330 g of p-xylene (3.1 mol), 0.50 g (0.003 mol) of ferric chloride and 0.58 g (0.003 mol) of diphenyl sulfide were added with stirring. Then, the temperature of the mixture being stirred was raised to 30 °C., at the same temperature, 521 g of gaseous chlorine was blown over 8 hours. The temperature was gradually increased to about 60 ° C. based on the solidification temperature of the reaction mixture.After the chlorination reaction, the crude product was analyzed by gas chromatography, and as a result, It was found to have the following composition.  (Composition ratio of the crude product)  Chlorination degree (number of moles of chlorine substituted to 1 mole of p-xylene) 2.21  25 DCPX 74.5percent  23 DCPX 5.1percent Trichloro-p-xylene 19.9percent Tetrachloro-p-xylene 0.5percent This crude product was purged with nitrogen and distilled in the same manner as in Example 1, 255.6 g of crude 25 DCPX having a purity of 93.9percent was obtained. To this was added 281.8 g of isopropyl alcohol and heated to 60°C. to dissolve the crystals, By cooling to 19 ° C. to crystallize, 187 g (yield 53.4percent) of 25 DCPX having a purity of 99.9percent was obtained.
