preparation | 200ml of anhydrous methanol (water less than 0.05%) is added to a dry 1000ml reaction bottle with reflux device and hydrogen chloride absorption device, 100g of 6-methylnicotinic acid is added, and stirring is dissolved. Heating to 70 ℃, adding 400g of thionyl chloride dropwise, after dropping, keeping the temperature for 1-5 hours at this temperature, sampling and testing (the raw material is less than 2% is the end of the reaction), cooling to below 30 ℃, steaming 550ml of methanol under normal pressure (below 90 ℃), then cooling down, steaming methanol under reduced pressure (below 70 ℃), and then cooling down to below 20 ℃, 400g of dichloroethane is added, stirred and dissolved for 45 minutes, 200g of tap water is added, PH = 6-9 is adjusted with sodium bicarbonate, stirred for 100 minutes, let stand and stratified, the lower organic layer is separated, the water layer is extracted once with 200g of dichloroethane, the organic layer is combined, washed once with 200g of 6% sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, washed once with 20% g of 6% brine, stirred and dried with 6g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate for 3 hours, and the water is sampled and, if it is less than 1%, filter, wash the filter cake with 20g of dichloroethane, merge the filtrate, recover 500g of dichloroethane at atmospheric pressure below 90 ℃, then cool down to below 70 ℃ and distill under reduced pressure until there is no obvious liquid outflow, then high vacuum fine flow, first collect the pre-boiling (apply to the next batch) until the boiling range is stable and then collect the positive boiling. About 104.7g of dried 6-methylnicotinic acid was obtained. Water content is less than 0.1%. The yield was 95%. |
