Use | coumarin is mainly used in the blending fragrance of soap and various detergents, which is the main component of the blending fragrance, it can also be used as a brightener for electroplating. used in the manufacture of spices, as fixatives, and also in the electroplating industry coumarin was found in black beans in 1820. Coumarin is present in many plants in the form of glycosides. It has the strong aroma of black beans, and also has the sweet and chocolate flavor of New Humulus scandens. The fresh hay aroma is due in large part to the formation and release of coumarins during fermentation decomposition of glycosides during drying of the new Humulus. Coumarins are used in the manufacture of spices. Commonly used in the preparation of new Humulus type and rich type spices. As well as Violet, sunflower, white blue, Hawthorn flower, orchid, lavender and other essences. Together with vanillin, it can be used to flavor sweets, cakes and the like, and added to tobacco to increase the natural flavor. The addition of coumarin in the plating solution of zinc (or cadmium, nickel) can reduce the hole formation of the coating and increase the brightness. Coumarin is a raw material for the manufacture of other fragrances and a variety of other chemicals. Coumarin is the parent of a large class of derivatives. Some of these derivatives exist in nature, and some are prepared by synthetic methods. for the manufacture of perfumes and soaps fluorescent indicator. |
production method | (1) prepared from salicylaldehyde by Perkin reaction. This is the synthetic method originally adopted by Perkin in 1868. The reaction of salicylaldehyde with acetic anhydride may use calcined potassium carbonate as a catalyst. Carbonic acid and acetic anhydride were added to salicylaldehyde, heated to 187 ° C., acetic acid was distilled off at a gas phase temperature of about 120 ° C., then acetic anhydride was added, and the reaction was carried out at 210-212 ° C. The crude coumarin obtained was washed with water and vacuum distilled. The product is then recrystallized from ethanol or isopropanol and dried at 50 °c. (2) the intermediate O-cresol phosphate was obtained by reacting O-Cresol with phosphorus oxychloride, and the intermediate was chlorinated at 180 ° C. To change the methyl group to-CHCI2, and then cyclized with sodium acetate at 160-180 ° C. For 5 hours. If O-cresol interacts with phosgene, this process is accomplished via the intermediate O-cresol carbonate: O-cresol sodium salt reacts with phosgene at 60 °c, 0.15MPA to produce O-cresol carbonate. The esterification is chlorinated with chlorine at 180-185 °c to a chlorine content of about 37%, corresponding to two chlorine atoms per side chain of cresol. Finally, in the presence of pyridine or zinc oxide and cobalt oxide, condensation with acetic acid and acetic anhydride, the reaction to obtain coumarin, the yield is quite high. |
