Application | used in pesticide intermediates, warning gas ethanethiol is an important pesticide intermediate, for the synthesis of organophosphorus insecticides phorate phosphorus, phosphorus, isopropyl phosphorus, phosphorus absorption, methyl phosphorus absorption and herbicides, in addition, can also be used as reagents and gas odorants, liquid fuel additives, and for pharmaceutical synthesis. ethanethiol is an important pesticide intermediate, which is used in the production of organophosphorus pesticide isopropylphosphorus, phorate phosphorus, phorate phosphorus, internal phosphorus uptake, methyl phosphorus uptake, etc. It may also be used for the production of an antimicrobial agent 401. When the concentration of ethyl mercaptan in the air is only 50 billion times, the odor can be detected, so it can be used as a warning agent for natural gas and petroleum gas, reagent plus odor (the odor in the concentration of 0.00019mg/L can smell). Ethanethiol can also be used in pharmaceutical and other organic synthesis. useful as a stabilizer for adhesives and as an intermediate for chemical synthesis. |
production method | 1. From the reaction of sodium ethyl sulfate and sodium hydrosulfide. The sodium ethyl sulfate used in this method was prepared from anhydrous ethanol and fuming sulfuric acid. The overall yield was 60%-65% (absolute ethanol). Domestic this method is more mature, the disadvantage is long route, low yield, high demand for raw materials. It is derived from the reaction of ethyl chloride with sodium hydrosulfide. The yield was more than 80% (based on chloroethanol). 3. From ethanol (or ethylene) and hydrogen sulfide by gas phase catalytic reaction. The reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure, and the catalyst is impregnated with tungstic acid or sodium tungstate using activated alumina as a carrier. The reaction temperature was 360-380 °c. Ethanethiol yield (based on ethanol), up to 70%-79%. 4. Laboratory preparations can be made from thiourea and bromoethane. The preparation method includes an anhydrous ethanol method, a chloroethane method, an ethanol (ethylene) method, and the like. (1) anhydrous ethanol method with anhydrous ethanol, fuming sulfuric acid and sodium hydrosulfide as raw material. C2H5OH + H2SO4 · SO3 → C2H5OSO2OH + H2SO42C2H5OSO2OH + Na2CO3 → 2c2h2oso2ona + H2O + CO2 ↑ c2oso2ona + NaSH → C2H5SH + Na2SO4 this method is a mature production process in China, but it has a long route, the yield is low, the requirement for raw materials is high, the dosage of acid and alkali is large, and the equipment is corrosive. (2) the ethyl chloride method is obtained by reacting ethyl chloride with sodium hydrosulfide. C2H5Cl + NaSH → C2H5SH + NaCl this method has the advantages of simple process and high yield, Disadvantages are the need for pressure, high requirements for equipment, intermittent operation, high labor intensity, and limited sources of ethyl chloride. (3) the ethanol (or ethylene) method is obtained by reacting hydrogen sulfide gas with ethanol vapor or ethylene in the presence of a catalyst. C2H5OH + H2S → C2H5SH + H2O This method has the advantages of simple process, easy availability of raw materials, low cost, high product purity and continuous production. The main disadvantage is that the reaction temperature is high, hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic, and has strong corrosion to the equipment. |
