2-Methoxyacetic Anhydride - Risk and Safety
2-Methoxyacetic Anhydride - Introduction
Methoxyacetic anhydride is a colorless liquid with a chemical formula of CH3OCOCH2COOCH3 and a molecular weight of 118.11. It is soluble in a variety of organic solvents at room temperature, such as ethanol, ether and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Methoxyacetic anhydride are used as esterification and acylation reagents in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize various ester compounds, such as drugs, fragrances and coatings. In addition, Methoxyacetic anhydride can also be used as raw materials for solvents and surfactants.
One method for preparing Methoxyacetic anhydride is to obtain methyl methoxyacetate by the reaction of acetic anhydride and methanol, and then convert it into Methoxyacetic anhydride through catalytic oxidation reaction.
Methoxyacetic anhydride has a certain risk, should pay attention to avoid skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. Wear protective gloves, protective goggles and protective masks during use. During use and storage, keep away from fire and heat sources and avoid contact with oxidants. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
