| production method | add chlorobenzene to enamel pan and steam to remove water to below 0.03%, add salicylic acid, and uniformly pass chlorine to a predetermined amount at 110±2 ℃. Sampling and observing the precipitates cooled to 30 ℃, filtering, measuring the melting point, and taking 167-175 ℃ as the qualified, that is, the chlorobenzene solution of 5-chlorosalicylic acid is obtained. If the chlorination reaction is carried out under the irradiation of fluorescent lamp, the chlorine can be reached to the theoretical amount at 55-80 ℃. After the sampling test is qualified, the remaining chlorine is removed, cooled, filtered, washed with chlorobenzene, and dried to obtain the finished product. |
