uses | intermediates of the adrenergic drug methoxyphenamine. |
production method | o-methoxybenzaldehyde is obtained by condensation, reduction and hydrolysis. Stir and mix o-methoxybenzaldehyde, nitroethane, toluene and n-butylamine, and steam out toluene and water until the dehydration amount reaches the theoretical value. Then add water, iron powder and ferric chloride, heat up to reflux, and add hydrochloric acid dropwise. After dropping, keep reflux for 1h, filter, and extract with toluene. The extract was washed with sodium bisulfite, distilled under reduced pressure, and the fraction at 128 ℃(2.0kPa) was collected to obtain 2-methoxyphenylacetone. 53% yield. |
