production method | 1. Derived from the methylation of guaiacol or catechol. 2. Purification method: the main impurities are catechol, peroxide and aldehyde. Catechol can be removed by washing with water. The aldehyde was removed by precipitation with P-nitrophenylhydrazine. O-dimethoxybenzene can also be refined by recrystallization from petroleum ether. 3. Crystals were obtained from petroleum ether. derived from methylated guaiacol or catechol. The preparation method is to mix catechol with sodium hydroxide, then add dimethyl sulfate under stirring, carry out alkyl reaction at a temperature of 30 ° C., and then separate, wash and distilled to obtain a finished product. It is also possible to use catechol to react with 40% sodium hydroxide to form sodium salt, and then react with methyl chloride under a certain pressure to obtain the finished product. |
