Green method for preparing chloroacetaldehyde dialkyl alcohol from vinyl ether

The invention discloses a green method for preparing chloroacetaldehyde dialkyl alcohol from vinyl ether. The method takes alkyl vinyl ether, chlorine and alcohol as raw materials and takes corresponding sodium alcoholate as a nucleophilic reagent and comprises the steps: carrying out electrophilic addition on alkyl ether and chlorine in low-boiling-point solvents such as ethers, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons and the like; and after chlorination is finished, adding into an alcoholic solution of sodium alcoholate for nucleophilic substitution to obtain high-yield chloroacetaldehyde dialkyl alcohol, such as chloroacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, chloroacetaldehyde diethyl acetal and chloroacetaldehyde methylisobutyl alcohol. The method is easy to operate, single in reaction, high in yield, less in side reaction, green and pollution-free; the recovered solvent and alcohol can be repeatedly used; no waste acid or waste water is generated in the whole process, the only byproduct sodium chloride can be used for other industrial purposes, and environment-friendly circulation and zero emission are achieved.
