colorless liquid. Melting point 13~14 ℃, boiling point 226~230 ℃, relative density 1.0216 (18 ℃), refractive index 1. 4523 (18 ℃). Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents.
diethyl cyclopentylmalonate is obtained by the interaction of bromocyclopropane with diethyl malonate, and then obtained by hydrolysis and decarboxylation.
This product is a kind of organic synthesis raw material, can be used for the synthesis of cyclopentyl acetaldehyde, and then the preparation of cyclopentyl methyl thiazide.
| Use | Cyclopentylacetic acid is a reagent for the synthesis of cyclopentylamine. Cyclopentylamine is a vasoconstrictor that acts as the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and epinephrine And dopamine release agent. Organic synthesis intermediates. It is used to synthesize cyclopentyl acetaldehyde and then prepare cyclopentenethiazide (diuretic antihypertensive drug). |
| Production method | From the action of bromocyclopropane and diethyl malonate to obtain diethyl cyclopentyl malonate, which is then hydrolyzed and decarboxylated. |
