uses | for organic synthesis, synthesis of esters and drugs. |
production method | results from the reaction of N-hexanoic acid with ketene. The n-hexane acid was cooled, ketene was introduced, and then the reaction was heated. After the reaction was completed, the reaction was fractionated, the temperature was raised to 220 ° C. In 1H, and the low boiling substance was distilled off under normal pressure. This was followed by fractional distillation under reduced pressure, and the 118-121 ° C. (1.6kPa) fraction was collected to obtain a final product. |
