  • Publication number: 20210179520
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a synthesis method and synthesis reactor of high-selectivity 2-methylallyl chloride by taking isobutylene and chlorine gas as raw materials and performing a gas-phase chlorination reaction in a microchannel reactor with a cooling surface. The isobutylene and the chlorine gas are reacted in a T-shaped microchannel reactor, and the mixing speed is extremely fast. Meanwhile, the huge heat exchange area per unit volume can ensure that the reaction proceeds stably at a substantially constant temperature and has good controllability. Therefore, side reactions caused by excessive local temperature can be effectively suppressed, the reaction selectivity is high, and no coking phenomenon occurs.
