overview
Methylsuccinic acid (methylene succinic acid) is a compound used for organic synthesis. It is prepared by fermentation under the liquid surface of Aspergillus terreus. It is a colorless, odorless, and moisture-absorbing crystal. Low toxicity, but its vapor is toxic. Easy to polymerize, can also be copolymerized with other monomers. This substance may be harmful to the environment, and special attention should be paid to water bodies.

production method
using butenoic acid as raw material, it is prepared by the following steps. Butenoic acid and ethanol are mixed with carbon tetrachloride, sulfuric acid is added, reflux reaction is carried out for 12h, ethanol and carbon tetrachloride are recovered, and ethyl crotonate is obtained by salting out. Ethyl crotonate, ethanol and sodium cyanide aqueous solution were refluxed for 5h. Add barium hydroxide solution, concentrate to porridge under reduced pressure, and cool. Add nitric acid and react violently to release hydrogen cyanide gas. Concentrate to dry under reduced pressure, extract with benzene and ether to obtain crude product, and finally recrystallize with benzene and water once each to obtain the finished product.
