Use | can be used as intermediates in the synthesis of pesticides, herbicides and other products. it can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, herbicides and other products. Is an organic synthesis intermediates, pesticide industry for the preparation of new herbicides such as NK-409 |
production method | is prepared by reacting sodium O-Cresol with dimethyl sulfate. Sodium hydroxide was mixed with O-cresol into a 20% solution, and the mixture was stirred and cooled to below 10 ° C., and dimethyl sulfate was slowly added dropwise. After addition, the temperature was raised to 40 °c for 20min, and then reacted with 100 °c for 12h. The reactants were then washed with water until neutral, the water was removed, distilled, and the 171 °c fraction was collected to obtain the final product. |
