preparation | 15.4g(0.1mol) of 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 200mL of anhydrous ethanol were added into a 500mL flask, and 5mL of concentrated sulfuric acid with 98% mass fraction was slowly added dropwise under constant stirring. The mixture was heated and refluxed, TLC followed the reaction, the 80% volume of solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, diluted with 30mL of ethyl acetate and 25mL of water, the water layer was extracted with 300mL of ethyl acetate, the organic layer was combined, the organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution and saturated salt water, anhydrous Na2SO4 was dried, filtered, dedissolved under reduced pressure to obtain 15.8g of ethyl 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoate with a yield of 86.8%. |
identification test | solubility insoluble in water; Soluble in ethanol (0T-42). The melting range is 132~135 ℃. Measured by conventional methods. 0.5g of sample was dissolved in 10 ml of sodium hydroxide test solution (TS-224) and then distilled. Take 4ml of clear primary distillate, add equal volume of sodium hydroxide test solution and 2~3 drops of iodine test solution (TS-124), heat the solution, and release iodoform odor. Take 0.1g of sample dissolved in 5ml of ethanol, and add 1 drop of dilute ferric chloride test solution (TS-103), which should be green. The distillation residue in test 3 was acidified and the precipitate was recrystallized with a melting range of 190~194 ℃ (simultaneous decomposition). |
use | antioxidant. Used as food additives, pharmaceutical intermediates, etc. |
production method | is obtained by esterification of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and ethanol. |
