| Overview | Scene and Overview [1] The method of preparing 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid in the prior art is the method of refining after nitration of o-chlorobenzoic acid, but because more 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid isomers are produced during nitration, it is difficult to achieve higher purity by conventional refining methods, generally, it can only be controlled at about 99.0%, which cannot meet the needs of use. |
| use | used to synthesize 2-chloro-5-aminobenzoic acid, 5-nitrosalicylic acid and its esters, amide intermediates. Used as intermediate of pesticide, medicine and organic pigment Used as intermediate of pesticide and medicine |
| production method | obtained by nitration of o-chlorobenzoic acid. Cool o-chlorobenzoic acid and sulfuric acid to below 0 ℃, then add mixed acid, nitrification at 0 ℃, after 8 hours of reaction, heat to 60 ℃, then pour into ice water to precipitate nitrobase, and recrystallize to obtain the finished product. |
