use | use is similar to glycerin, and can be used as wetting agent, solvent and intermediate for producing medicine and explosives similar to glycerin, it can be used as solvent, wetting agent and intermediate of medicine and explosives. However, it is difficult to compete with glycerin in price, which affects the development of this product. tobacco auxiliaries, key intermediates for the preparation of various drugs, reduce the harm of tar components, components of photographic developer, anti-drying agent for high-grade ink, surface treatment agent for high-grade clothing, ceramic processing auxiliaries, cross-linking agents for high-grade materials, special uses |
production method | from 1, 4-butynediol is hydrolyzed into 1, 4-dihydroxy-2-butanone with mercury salt, and then hydrogenated in the presence of molybdenum sulfide or Raney nickel. 1. Hydration Add butynediol and water to the reaction pot, add mercury sulfate under stirring, then slowly add sulfuric acid, and react at 30-35 ℃ for 60h. After the reaction, it was neutralized with calcium carbonate to pH 7 and stirred for half an hour. The calcium sulfate precipitate is filtered, the filter residue is washed with water, and the washing filtrate is combined and concentrated to obtain 1, 4-dihydroxy-2-butanone (concentrated solution). 1,4-dihydroxy -2-butanone 1,4-Dihydroxy-2-butanoneC4H8O3[140-80-3] boiling point 108-110 ℃(66.7Pa)2. hydrogenation 1,4-dihydroxy -2-butanone concentrated solution is added to an autoclave, ethanol and Raney nickel are added, sealed, replaced with air, hydrogenated at 60 ℃, 3-4.9MPa, when hydrogen absorption slows down, the temperature is raised to 100 ℃ to continue the reaction until hydrogen absorption is no longer. Cool to below 50 ℃ for discharge and filtration. After the filtrate is recovered from ethanol at normal pressure, it is distilled under reduced pressure to collect 155-165 ℃(0.133-0.267kPa) and fractions to obtain 1,2, 4-butanetriol. |
