Detailed Description
Specifically, the preparation method of the methyl ethyl phosphinic acid comprises the following steps:
A. reacting dichloromethylphosphine with water, heating to remove HCl after the reaction is finished, and obtaining methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution;
B. and D, reacting the aqueous solution of the methylphosphinic acid obtained in the step A with ethylene by using di-tert-butyl peroxide as an initiator to obtain the methylethylphosphinic acid.
In the step A of the method, dichlormethylphosphinic acid is prepared by reacting dichlormethylphosphine with water, in order to avoid over violent reaction, the dichlormethylphosphine is generally dropwise added into water, the reaction temperature is controlled to be 0-10 ℃, and side reaction caused in an oxidation environment is avoided under the protection of nitrogen; the reaction rate is high, and in order to ensure complete reaction as much as possible, the temperature is generally kept for 10-20 min after the dripping is finished. The extraction of methylphosphinic acid from methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution generally adopts rectification purification, however, the operation is costly, partial methylphosphinic acid is lost, and the production efficiency and the cost are obviously influenced, so that the inventor considers that the methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution is directly used for the subsequent reaction, but the unpurified methylphosphinic acid contains water and hydrogen chloride, and needs to explore reaction conditions which are adaptive to the methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution and have high tolerance to the raw material purity.
After the reaction of the dichloromethylphosphine is finished, a large amount of HCl is generated in the system, the system is refluxed at 120-130 ℃, most of HCl can be removed through simple operation (tail NaOH alkali liquor is connected for tail gas absorption), in order to avoid the influence of HCl residual quantity on subsequent reaction, the refluxing time is too long, the production efficiency is reduced, and the loss of the methylphosphinic acid is caused, the refluxing is generally carried out for 4-8H, so that the methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution is obtained, usually H of the methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution is obtained2The content of O is 12-14 wt%, and the content of HCl is 12-15 wt%.
While CN1280583A discloses a method for preparing methylethylphosphinic acid by reacting methylphosphinic acid with ethylene, it has a serious impact on product purity since it produces more methylbutylphosphinic acid impurities which are difficult to remove; in addition, the invention adopts an unpurified methylphosphinic acid aqueous solution, so that a great amount of impurities are avoided from being generated, and the yield of the methylethylphosphinic acid is ensured, and the inventor conducts a great number of experiments.
The invention adopts di-tert-butyl peroxide as an initiator, the effect is obviously better than that of other initiators, and the using amount of the initiator is 3-5 mol%; meanwhile, in the step B, when the reaction temperature is lower, more raw materials are left, and tests show that the reaction temperature is preferably 150-160 ℃.
According to the comprehensive test result, in the step B, di-tert-butyl peroxide is used as an initiator, the dosage of the di-tert-butyl peroxide is controlled to be 3-5 mol%, the reaction temperature is 150-160 ℃, the time is 10-15 hours, the pressure is 0.8-1.5 MPa, the raw material methyl phosphinic acid basically has no residue, the yield of methyl ethyl phosphinic acid is more than 95%, the generation amount of impurities is very small, and the subsequent reaction is not influenced.
In the preparation method of methyl ethyl phosphinic acid, after the reaction of the methyl phosphinic acid aqueous solution and ethylene in the step B is finished, the methyl ethyl phosphinic acid aqueous solution is obtained.
On the basis of the preparation method of the methyl ethyl phosphinic acid, the preparation method of the aluminum salt of the methyl ethyl phosphinic acid also comprises the following steps:
C. and C, adjusting the pH value of the methyl ethyl hypophosphite aqueous solution obtained in the step B to be 6-7, adding aluminum sulfate, and reacting to obtain the methyl hypophosphite aluminum salt.
Methyl ethyl phosphinic acid and Al2(SO4)3.18H2The pH of the O (the concentration is generally 30-50 wt%) reaction is generally 6-7, so in the step C, before the reaction, inorganic alkali such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate is adopted to adjust the pH of the methyl ethyl phosphinic acid aqueous solution to 6-7; preferably, the inorganic base is preferably sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.
In order to accelerate the reaction efficiency, in the step C, the reaction temperature is 85-90 ℃, the reaction end point is determined by no residue of methylphosphinic acid, and the reaction time is generally 4-48 h.
The preparation of methylethylphosphinic acid and aluminum salts thereof according to the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, but it should not be construed that the scope of the above-described subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following examples, and that all techniques realized based on the above-described contents of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.

Table 1 process screening test conditions and results
The half-life period of the initiator is related to the temperature, and the influence of the half-life period is considered for the initiation temperature of a specific initiator, so that when ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate or 2,2' -azo (2-methylpropylamidine) dihydrochloride is used as the initiator in a test, the reaction temperature of 80-100 ℃ is designed, but the reaction effect is poor, the raw materials are more in residue, and the impurities are more.
The effect is obviously better than that of other initiators by adopting di-tert-butyl peroxide as the initiator; the effect is better than 3mol% when 5 mol%; when the temperature is lower (80-130 ℃), more raw materials are left, and the effect is better at 150-160 ℃; the reaction pressure is 0.8 MPa-1.5 MPa; the reaction time is 10-15 h, and 10h is preferred in comprehensive consideration.
