See also CHLOROPHENOLS. | | Synthesis | Phenol and chlorine gas are used as raw materials, and the mixed catalyst comprises diphenyl sulfide, ferric chloride, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, and the molar ratio of diphenyl sulfide, ferric chloride, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in said mixed catalyst is 2:2:1. The method for producing high-purity 2,4-dichlorophenol in this embodiment comprises the steps of
(1) heating and melting and stirring 50 g of raw phenol at a stirring speed of 2000 r/min, adding a proportionally prepared mixing catalyst to the raw material being stirred, and the addition amount of said mixing catalyst being 0.05 wt% by mass percentage of said raw phenol;
(2) the material prepared in step (1) is heated and maintained at 70C, and chlorine gas is slowly and uniformly passed into the material at the beginning, the time of passage is 3h, and the total amount of chlorine gas passed into the material is 2.2 times of the number of moles of raw material phenol in terms of moles, and 2,4-dichlorophenol crude product is obtained after catalytic chlorination reaction, and the time of reaction is 6.5h;
(3) The 2,4-dichlorophenol crude product prepared in step (2) was obtained by melt crystallization to obtain 2,4-dichlorophenol product, the specific method is as follows: the 2,4-dichlorophenol crude product was added to the melt crystallizer, and the temperature was increased to 60C at a rising rate of 5C/min, and the constant temperature was maintained at a constant temperature for 3h for the sweating treatment, and then slowly cooled down to 10C at a cooling rate of 2C/min, and finally obtained the high purity 2,4-dichlorophenol product. Finally, high purity 2,4-dichlorophenol was obtained. | | Potential Exposure | 2,4-Dichlorophenol is a commercially
produced substituted phenol used in the manufacture
of industrial and agricultural products; in synthesis of
pharmaceuticals. As an intermediate in the chemical industry, 2,4-DCP is utilized as the feedstock for the manufacture of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and 2,4-D
derivatives (germicides, soil sterilants, etc.); certain methyl
compounds used in mothproofing, antiseptics and seed
disinfectants. 2,4-DCP is also reacted with benzene sulfonyl
chloride to produce miticides or further chlorinated to
pentachlorophenol, a wood preservative. It is thus a widely
used pesticide intermediate. The only group expected to be
at risk for high exposure to 2,4-DCP is industrial workers
involved in the manufacturing or handling of 2,4-DCP
and 2,4-D | | First aid | If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seekmedical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Speed in removing material from skinis of extreme importance. Shampoo hair promptly if contaminated. Seek medical attention immediately. If thischemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, beginrescue breathing (using universal precautions, includingresuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. | | Carcinogenicity | In mammalian cells in vitro 2,4-DCP produced
chromosomal aberrations and induced
unscheduled DNA synthesis; it was negative
for sister chromatid exchange in vivo and was
mostly negative in bacterial assays.
Oral exposure of pregnant rats to
750mg/kg/day for 10 gestational days induced
slightly decreased fetal weight, delayed ossification
of sternal and vertebral arches, and some
early embryonic deaths.10 Maternal deaths also
occurred at this dose, indicating that 2,4-DCP
was not selectively toxic to embryos or fetuses.
No effects were noted in dams or offspring
exposed at 375mg/kg/day.
A threshold limit value (TLV) has not been
established for 2,4-dichlorophenol. | | Environmental fate | Biological. In activated sludge, 2.8% mineralized to carbon dioxide after 5 d (Freitag et al.,
1985). In freshwater lake sediments, anaerobic reductive dechlorination produced 4-chlorophenol
(Kohring et al., 1989). Chloroperoxidase, a fungal enzyme isolated from Caldariomyces fumago,
converted 9 to 12% of 2,4-dichlorophenol to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (Wannstedt et al., 1990). When
2,4-dichlorophenol was statically incubated in the dark at 25 °C with yeast extract and settled
domestic wastewater inoculum, significant biodegradation with rapid adaptation was observed. At concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/L, 100 and 99% biodegradation, respectively, were observed after 7
d (Tabak et al., 1981). In activated sludge inoculum, 98.0% COD removal was achieved. The
average rate of biodegradation was 10.5 mg COD/gh (Pitter, 1976).
Surface Water. Hoigné and Bader (1983) reported 2,4-dichlorophenol reacts with ozone at a rate
constant of <1,500/Msec at the pH range of 1.5 to 3.0.
Groundwater. Nielsen et al. (1996) studied the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol in a shallow,
glaciofluvial, unconfined sandy aquifer in Jutland, Denmark. As part of the in situ microcosm
study, a cylinder that was open at the bottom and screened at the top was installed through a cased
borehole approximately 5 m below grade. Five liters of water was aerated with atmospheric air to
ensure aerobic conditions were maintained. Groundwater was analyzed weekly for approximately
3 months to determine 2,4-dichlorophenol concentrations with time. The experimentally
determined first-order biodegradation rate constant and corresponding half-life were 0.20/d and
3.47 d, respectively.
Photolytic. In distilled water, photolysis occurs at a slower rate than in estuarine waters
containing humic substances. Photolysis products identified in distilled water were the three
isomers of chlorocyclopentadienic acid. The following half-lives were reported for 2,4-
dichlorophenol in estuarine water exposed to sunlight and microbes: 0.6 and 2.0 h during summer
(24 °C) and winter (10 °C), respectively; in distilled water: 0.8 and 3.0 h during summer and
winter, respectively; in poisoned estuarine water: 0.7 and 2.0 h during summer and winter,
respectively (Hwang et al., 1986). When titanium dioxide suspended in an aqueous solution was
irradiated with UV light (λ = 365 nm), 2,4-dichlorophenol was converted to carbon dioxide at a
significant rate (Matthews, 1986). An aqueous solution containing hydrogen peroxide and
irradiated by UV light (λ = 296 nm) converted 2,4-dichlorophenol to chlorohydroquinone and 1,4-
dihydroquinone (Moza et al., 1988). A carbon dioxide yield of 50.4% was achieved when 2,4-
dichlorophenol adsorbed on silica gel was irradiated with UV light (λ >290 nm) for 17 h (Freitag
et al., 1985).
Chemical/Physical. 2,4-Dichlorophenol will not hydrolyze to any reasonable extent (Kollig,
1993). Reported second-order rate constants for the reaction of 2,4-dichlorophenol and singlet
oxygen in water at 292 K: 7 x 106/Msec at pH 5.5, 2 x 106/Msec at pH 6, 1.0 x 105/Msec at pH
6.65, 1.5 x 106/Msec at pH 7.0, 7.6 x 105/Msec at pH 7.9, 1.20 x 104/Msec at pH 9.0 to 9.6. At
pH 8, the half-life of 2,4-dichlorophenol is 62 h (Scully and Hoigné, 1987). In an aqueous
phosphate buffer at 27 °C, 2,4-dichlorophenol reacted with singlet oxygen at a rate of 5.1 x
106/Msec (Tratnyek and Hoigné, 1991). At neutral pH, 2,4-dichlorophenol was completely
oxidized by potassium permanganate (2.0 mg/L) after 15 min (quoted, Verschueren, 1983). | | storage | Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location.
