Use | for the preparation of emulsifiers, surfactants and vulcanization accelerators, organic synthesis, acid gas absorbers. 2-amino butanol was obtained by resolution, which was used for the production of anti-tuberculosis drug ethambutol. |
production method | the reaction of butene-1 with acetonitrile and chlorine gas is chlorination, followed by hydrolysis, alcoholization, obtained by alkalization. In addition to the alkalization operation, the process is carried out continuously in the piped plant in the following order. The purity of butene-1 is 50-80%. The molar ratio of the chlorination reaction is butene-1: Chlorine: acetonitrile = 1:0.85:7-8. The reaction temperature is 40-50 ° C., and the feed flow rate is 2.5-3.0/h. After completion of the chlorination reaction, acetonitrile and dichlorobutane in the reaction were recovered by distillation using an acetonitrile recovery column. Then, the alcoholysis reaction is carried out, and the distillate reaction liquid is added to hydrochloric acid and ethanol equivalent to the weight of butene-1, and fed at atmospheric pressure. The temperature at the bottom of the column is 104 ° C. And the temperature at the top of the column is 72-75 ° C, A mixture of ethyl acetate, water, and ethanol, which was prepared by evaporation while reacting. Alcoholysis reaction solution, and then sodium hydroxide alkalization, distillation to obtain crude 2-amino butanol. Finally, the content of more than 95% of the product was fractionated under reduced pressure. |
