Production method | Methyl o-oxybenzoate is synthesized from methyl salicylate ([119-36-8]) and iodoethane, and then obtained by hydrolysis and acidification. Sodium metal, methyl salicylate and ethane iodide were successively added into anhydrous methanol and heated and refluxed for 10h. After recovering methanol and iodized ethane, pour it into cold water and divide the oil. Wash with water and 5% sodium hydroxide solution to pH = 7, extract with ether, dry with anhydrous sodium carbonate, reflux ether, and then distill under reduced pressure to obtain methyl o-ethoxybenzoate. Add it to 5% sodium hydroxide solution for reflux for 2-3h, cool, and extract unreacted ester with ether. The extracted aqueous solution was acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the oil layer was washed with water. Add 5% sodium hydroxide to dissolve, filter and acidify with hydrochloric acid to the oil layer, freeze and crystallize to produce crude products. The acidified water layer can be extracted with ether, and a part of the crude product can also be obtained. The crude product is distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the finished o-ethoxybenzoic acid. |
