use | used as food flavor GB 2760-1996 regulations are allowed to use food spices. Intermediate of pharmaceutical methionine. |
Production method | It is obtained by the addition reaction of acrolein and methyl mercaptan. Add acrolein and formic acid to the reaction pot, add ketone acetate under stirring, heat to 30-40 ℃, pass in the cooled and pickled dehydrated methyl mercaptan, until the reaction liquid phase has a relative density of 1.060-1.074(20 ℃), that is, 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde. It is obtained by oxidation of 3-methylthiopropanol. It is formed by condensation of acrolein and methyl mercaptan in the presence of copper acetate and formic acid. |
