overview | 3-chloro-2-butanone can be used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis. If 3-chloro -2-butanone is inhaled, please move the patient to fresh air. If the skin is in contact with the skin, remove the contaminated clothes, rinse the skin thoroughly with soapy water and clear water, and see a doctor if you feel uncomfortable. If you are in contact with clear eyes, you should separate the eyelids, rinse with flowing water or normal saline, and see a doctor immediately. If you eat, rinse your mouth immediately, prohibit vomiting, and see a doctor immediately. |
preparation | in a 250 ml three-mouth flask equipped with a stirrer, a constant pressure funnel and a condenser tube, add 43.27g, 0.6 mol of butanone XVI and 36% HCl30.42 g, 0.3 mol, add 8.1g of copper chloride, 0.06 mol, slowly add 30% H2O249.23 g, 0.39 mol, at 35 degrees celsius for 15 minutes, after completion, the temperature is raised to 78 degrees Celsius and the reaction is refluxed for 5 hours, the reaction liquid is cooled to room temperature, the organic phase is separated, the organic phase is washed twice with saturated sodium carbonate solution, the anhydrous sodium sulfate is dried, and the fraction at 137-140 degrees Celsius is collected by fractional distillation to obtain 8.0 grams of brown liquid 3-chloro-2-butanone with a yield of 12.6%; |
