The solvent-free synthesis process of 2-chloroethyl Et ether was improved in this research.Purified 2-chloroethyl Et ether was obtained from the reaction of 2-ethoxyethanol and thionyl chloride using triethylamine as catalyst, and a series of washing with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, saturated sodium chloride solution and drying wi th anhydrous sodium sulfate.The structure of the sample produced was then characterized by 1HNMR and GC-MS.The effects of molar ratio of reactants, reaction temperature and reaction time on the GC purity and yield of the product were further investigated via single factor exptl. anal.The optimized synthesis process of 2-chloroethyl Et ether was as follows:n (2-ethoxyethanol):n (thionyl chloride):n (triethylamine) =1.0:1.3:0.3, reaction temperature of 70°C, and reaction time of 4 h.Under the above conditions, the yield and GC purity of product was over 90.2% and 99.4%, resp., and the content was over 99.2% after kilogram scale pilot amplification.
