Preparation method for chlorophenoxycarboxylate

Provided is a method for producing a chlorophenoxycarboxylate, comprising the following steps of: a phenoxycarboxylate under actions of a catalyst A and a catalyst B performing a selective chlorination of a chlorinating agent at a 2-position and/or a 4-position to obtain the chlorophenoxycarboxylate; the catalyst A is a Lewis acid; and the catalyst B has the following structure: R1′-S-R2′. The present disclosure redesigns the process route, and finely screens the catalyst and the chlorinating agent, thereby effectively improving the chlorination selectivity while avoiding the loss of the active ingredient, and the content of the obtained chlorophenoxycarboxylate can reach more than 98.5%, and the yield can reach more than 99%.
