Adipic anhydride (also known as adipate ester) is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods, and safety information of adipic anhydride:
Nature:
-Appearance: Adipic anhydride is a white odorless crystal, often in the form of flakes or scales.
-Solubility: Adipic anhydride is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and benzene, but insoluble in water.
-Chemical properties: Adipic anhydride is relatively stable at room temperature. It is an anhydride that can react with alcohols and amines, and can undergo esterification and acylation reactions.
Usage:
-Adipic anhydride is an important organic synthesis intermediate widely used in the preparation of polyester resins, plastics, coatings, solvents, softeners, and other products.
-It is widely used in fields such as paint industry, plastic industry, fiber industry, etc.
Method:
-The traditional method of preparing adipic anhydride is achieved by reacting adipic acid with anhydrous acetic acid. The reaction is usually carried out under the catalysis of a dehydrating agent.
-In recent years, some new green preparation methods have also been developed, such as microwave assisted synthesis, catalyst assisted synthesis, etc., to improve yield and reduce production costs.
Security information:
-Adipic anhydride is irritating to the skin and eyes, and may cause allergic reactions. During operation, appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing should be worn.
-After contact with succinic anhydride, immediately rinse the affected skin or eyes with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
