They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, acid anhydrides, acid chlorides, and halogens, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills. Packed in 50kg iron drum. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources, and away from direct sunlight. Store and transport separately from edible raw materials.

Synthesis method

1. 2-Chloromethyl-4-nitrotoluene is produced by chloromethylation of p-nitrotoluene with dichloromethyl ether, with a yield of 95%; then catalyze it with a nickel catalyst, and heat it at 35-30°C , hydrogenation at 3.5-4MPa produces 3,4-dimethylaniline. Another method is to use 3,4-dimethylacetophenone as raw material. It reacts with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and polyphosphoric acid successively, and finally hydrolyzes to obtain 3,4-dimethylaniline.

2. The preparation method is as follows It is produced by chloromethylation of p-nitrotoluene as raw material, followed by hydrogenation, reduction and dechlorination. Add dichloromethyl ether, p-nitrotoluene, and chlorosulfonic acid into the reaction kettle, stir and react at 15 to 20°C, then hydrolyze, filter, and wash the filter cake to obtain 2-chloromethyl-4-nitrotoluene. Dissolve 2-chloromethyl-4-nitrotoluene in ethanol and add nickel to the reactor. First, nitrogen gas is introduced to replace the air in the reactor, and then hydrogen gas is introduced. Control the temperature to 35-50°C and the pressure to 3.4-3.9 MPa. After the hydrogen is completed, ethanol is recovered by distillation, sodium hydroxide is added to alkalize, and the finished product is obtained by steam distillation.
3,4-dimethylaniline can also be prepared from o-xylene and starting materials.
Dissolve o-xylene in carbon disulfide, add anhydrous aluminum trichloride as a catalyst, and then add acetyl chloride dropwise. After the dropwise addition, react at 90°C for 30 minutes, then add hydrochloric acid, pour into ice water, and divide The aqueous solution was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water, dried, evaporated to remove the diethyl ether, and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 3,4-dimethylacetophenone. Then add 3,4-dimethylacetophenone to the mixture of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, water, potassium acetate, and methanol at a temperature of 40°C, then reflux in a water bath for 2 hours, pour into water, stir, cool, and precipitate Crystallize, filter, wash with water, and recrystallize with petroleum ether to obtain 2-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetoxime. Then heat the oximide and polyphosphoric acid in a water bath for 5 to 10 minutes to start to exotherm. Keep it at 120°C for 15 minutes. Recrystallize it from dilute ethanol to obtain acetyl 3,4-dimethylaniline. Then reflux with sulfuric acid and ethanol for 1.5 hours. Concentrate to half, add alkali to make it alkaline, extract with ether, dry, and evaporate the ether to obtain the finished product.
