Abstract
The present invention relates to an isolation process of 2-chloroethylvinyl ether from a thermal decomposition product of 1,1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane, and comprises the azeotropic distillation of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether and 2-chloroethanol from the product, the reaction of the 2-chloroethanol in the azeptrope with the 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether to 1-1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane without the separation from the product, and the purification of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether by the rectification of the above reaction mixture.
Claims1
An isolation process of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether having a high purity from the thermal decomposition mixture of 1,1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane, which comprises the following procedures:
- (1) separating the fraction consisting mainly of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether and partially of 2-chloroethanol from the said thermal decomposition mixture;
- (2) acidifying the said fraction, then without separating the above two compounds, reacting the said 2-chloroethanol with a part of the 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether at a temperature below 100.degree. C. to 1,1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane, and making the said fraction consist of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether and 1,1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane;
- (3) isolating 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether from 1,1-di(2-chloroethoxy)ethane by rectification.
