Overview | methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethanol can be used as a pharmaceutical synthesis intermediate, such as the preparation of methimazole, the chemical name is 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol, which is an antithyroid drug. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit peroxidase in the thyroid gland, thus inhibiting the oxidation of iodide and the coupling of tyrosine into the thyroid gland, blocks the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Animal experiments have observed that B lymphocytes synthesize antibodies, reduce the level of thyroid stimulating antibodies in the blood circulation, and restore the suppressor T cells to normal. |
preparation | The autoclave was charged with 3.00 of chloroacetaldehyde dimethanol and 33% of methylamine methanol solution, and the autoclave valve was closed, heating Temperature to 130-135 ℃, the maximum pressure of 1.2MPa, and then continue to reduce, heat preservation reaction for 6 hours, cooling to 25 ℃, pressure to neutralization tank. The temperature was lowered to below 10 ° C. With stirring, 40% of 3.26 sodium methoxide methanol solution was added dropwise, and the mixture was kept at 0-5 ° C. For 2-3 hours. After filtration, the filter cake was washed with methanol and the filtrate was transferred to a distillation tank. The methanol was distilled at atmospheric pressure, and the distillation was changed to vacuum distillation. The brine condensation was started to collect the intermediate, and the 52-60 ℃/24mmHg fraction was collected to obtain 2.51kg of methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethanol, with a purity of 94.6% by GC, the yield was 83.1%. |
