Use | Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. |
production method | is obtained by condensation, chlorination and etherification of acetaldehyde. Slowly add acetaldehyde to methanol, and apply chlorine at 38-40 ℃. Then react at 40-43 ℃ for 3h. Cool to room temperature and use lime to neutralize to a pH value of 7, stand and delaminate, and the upper layer is chloroacetaldehyde dimethanol with a content of about 80%. It was added into 40% sodium methoxide and reacted at 100 ℃ for 6 hours at a pressure of about 0.2MPa. Evaporate methoxyacetaldehyde dimethanol, and then rectify the distilled liquid to obtain the finished product with a yield of more than 50%. |
