Use | N-cyano-N-methyl ethyl carbamate is an intermediate of the herbicide cycloazinone. |
production method | the preparation method is to add cyanamide solution in the reaction kettle, and then add ethyl chloroformate Dropwise, keep the reaction temperature at about 40 ℃, when pH = 6~7 is the end point, stop dropping, continue to stir at 40 ℃ for 1H, filter, the filtrate was collected and transferred to another reaction kettle. Under stirring, dimethyl sulfate was added dropwise, and the pH was adjusted to about 7 with alkali solution, the filtrate was extracted with chloroform, and after extraction with chloroform, it was dissolved to obtain a finished product. |
