Introduction | tetramethylacetaldehyde is a pure white powder, which is off-white or light yellow powder for industrial use. It has the smell of bad eggs and is difficult to dissolve in water, insoluble in most organic solvents, but soluble in pyridine, light, heat, humidity is not stable, easy to decompose carbon disulfide, alkaline substances or copper, mercury and other substances are easy to decompose and release carbon disulfide and reduce the effect, volatile small. The so-called protection is to provide Zn Elements for plants, in addition to solving the symptoms of zinc deficiency, to enhance the ability of plants to resist diseases, so as to relatively play a bactericidal role. |
preparation | in a 1000 liter reactor, 0 °c acetaldehyde 560kg, add about 40kg of ether to cool to -15 °c, and prepare the acid catalyst: Hydrochloric acid about 4kg, ether about 1kg, pyridine about 1kg, sodium bromide ( 0.5) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.3) were added into the polymerization vessel under constant stirring and cooling, and the addition rate of acidic catalyst was observed under temperature control in the polymerization vessel, the polymerization reaction temperature in the polymerization reactor is not more than 0 ℃, after the acidic catalyst is added, continuous stirring and cooling to maintain the temperature in the polymerization reactor at -10 ℃ ~-5 ℃ for about 3 hours, can be discharged from the polymerization reactor filter, the solid matter is washed with water, after drying, white crystalline tetramethylacetaldehyde can be obtained. The filtrate is sent to the distillation kettle for heating, sulfuric acid is added as a catalyst, the tripolyacetaldehyde in the filtrate is depolymerized, the top temperature of the depolymerization column is controlled at 20 ℃ and 21 ℃, and acetaldehyde and ether are distilled and separated, prepare for the next feeding. |
Use | tetramethylacetaldehyde is a neurotoxicant that is toxic to the poison pathway and stomach of slug and snail, its contact-killing effect is stronger than that of gastric toxicity. Inorganic pesticides, such as calcium arsenate and Paris Green, substituted by tetramethylacetaldehyde played an important role in the prevention and treatment of snail and slug. It is an effective pesticide for killing mollusks, such as snails and slug, and is also used as a solid fuel |
production method | the product can be prepared by acetylene hydration or acetaldehyde polymerization in the presence of a catalyst. |
