production method
1,2, 4-phloroglucinol triacetate is prepared from p-benzoquinone and acetic anhydride, and then acts with hydrochloric acid to obtain the product. Preparation of 1.1,2,4-Phloroglucinol Triacetate Dry p-benzoquinone is added to the mixture of acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid in stages, the reaction temperature is 40-50 ℃, and the reaction is 1-3h. Add cold water to the reactants, filter the precipitated precipitate, wash with cold water, and recrystallize with alcohol to obtain 1,2, 4-phloroglucinol triacetate. Melting point 96.5-97 ℃. Preparation of 2.1,2,4-Phloroglucinol 5% hydrochloric acid and 1,2,4-phloroglucinol triacetate were stirred and heated to 90 ℃, hydrolyzed for 20min, and cooled. Neutralize with sodium carbonate and filter. The filtrate is extracted with ether, and the ether extract is heated to evaporate the ether to obtain 1,2, 4-phenylenetriester.
