The invention relates to a synthesis method of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)
acetic acid, which belongs to the technical field of the preparation and the application of
fine chemical engineering products. The invention particularly belongs to the synthesis method of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)
acetic acid. The invention uses 2-chloroethoxy
ethanol as starting materials, uses water as solvents, and uses
nitric acid for direct oxidization to obtain products. The reaction process is shown as the accompanying drawing. The invention adopts water as the solvents, and uses the
nitric acid as oxidizing agents for efficiently oxidizing the 2-chloroethoxy
ethanol into corresponding acids. The method has the advantages of simple operation, low price of raw materials, easy acquisition of raw materials, simple requirement on equipment, simple
after treatment and the like. In addition, the use of the
organic solvent has nearly zero cost, and the invention conforms to the
environmental protection industrial production requirements, so the invention has wide application prospects.
