production method | 1. acetic anhydride method mixes tert-butanol, acetic anhydride and anhydrous zinc chloride, heats and refluxes for 2 hours, then cools, distilled to a temperature of 110 ℃, washed with water, washed with 10% potassium carbonate to neutral, dried with anhydrous potassium carbonate, and then distilled to collect 95-96 ℃ fraction to obtain the finished product. 2. The acetyl chloride method mixes tert-butanol, N,N-dimethylaniline and anhydrous ether, refluxes heated, adds acetyl chloride, controls the feeding temperature, maintains a medium reflux rate, adds 2/3 acetyl chloride, N,N-dimethylaniline hydrochloride crystals, cools in an ice bath, and then heats for 1h. Add water to dissolve all the solids, separate the ether layer, extract with cold 10% sulfuric acid, wash once with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and fractionate to obtain the finished product. 3. Acetyl chloride-magnesium method Mix magnesium powder, tert-butanol and anhydrous ether evenly, add acetyl chloride and anhydrous ether solution dropwise, add cooling, add cold potassium carbonate aqueous solution to decompose it, extract it with ether 3 times, dry it with calcium chloride, and distill to obtain the finished product. |
