production method | benzaldehyde is first reacted in hot potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide ethanol solution to form benzoin: benzaldehyde is mixed with ethanol, the pH value is adjusted to 7-8 with sodium hydroxide, 3% sodium cyanide solution is added, reflux is carried out at 70-80 ℃ for 0.5h, and filtration is carried out at temperature below 10 ℃, the filter cake is washed until it is free of cyanide ions to obtain benzoin. Cyanide ion is a special catalyst in the reaction. Most aromatic aldehydes can perform this reaction. Because it is equivalent to the condensation of two molecules of aldehydes, this reaction is called benzoin condensation. The condensation reaction formula is as follows: In the presence of hydrochloric acid, benzoin is condensed with methanol to obtain benzoin methyl ether |
