Introduction | Potassium 2, 5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate is a derivative of 2, 5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate, which can be used alone or in combination with other drugs for the treatment of male sexual dysfunction and other endothelial vascular diseases. Potassium 2, 5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonate can be prepared from hydroquinone as the starting material. |
preparation method | hydroquinone (25g,0.2270 mol) and n-heptane (75 mL) are put into a round bottom flask, the flask is cooled to about 10-15°C, and sulfuric acid (36 N,22.2g) is added dropwise for about 10-15 minutes. Slowly raise the temperature to 50-55°C, then continue stirring for 3 hours. The reaction material was then cooled to 25-35°C and ethyl acetate (250mL) was added to dissolve the formed solid. A solution of potassium 2-ethylhexanoate (41.3g,0.2265mol) in ethyl acetate (250mL) was slowly added. Stir the reaction further for an hour. The precipitated crude solid was filtered and washed with ethyl acetate. |
