It has also been used as a short-term exposure biomarker in the urine of styrene-exposed workers. used as pharmaceutical raw materials and intermediates, dye intermediates, etc. zirconium special reagents, determination of copper, organic synthesis, fungicides. |
production method | 1. Using acetophenone, the by-product of phenol from cumene as raw material, dichloroacetophenone was obtained by chlorination, then reacted with dilute alkali and hydrolyzed to obtain mandelic acid. 2. Using benzaldehyde as raw material. Sodium cyanide was dissolved in water, Benzaldehyde was added, a saturated solution of sodium bisulfite was slowly added under stirring, and when added to half, crushed ice was added to separate the precipitated benzenehydroxyacetonitrile layer from the aqueous layer. The aqueous layer was extracted with benzene, the benzene was distilled off, and the residue was combined with the benzene hydroxyacetonitrile layer. Hydrochloric acid was added and hydrolyzed for 12H under cooling. The excess water and hydrochloric acid are then removed by heating, cooled, and the mixture of ammonium chloride and mandelic acid is filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was combined with the above solid and washed with cold benzene. Then extracted with hot benzene, the extract was cooled, crystallized, filtered and dried to obtain Mandelic Acid in 50-52% yield. 3. Benzene-glyoxylic acid method. |
