In addition, ethyl acetoacetate is also widely used in medicine, plastics, dyes, spices, varnishes and additives industries. I am occasionally used in cosmetics such as gardenia, which can give the wine fruit aroma or elegant non-floral aroma. It can give ethanol a sense of roundness in washing water or water. Widely used in edible flavors, can be used in many fruit or wine flavors, such as apples, apricots, peaches, cherries, berries and rice wine, brandy, white wine, whiskey, rum and other edible flavors and wine flavors.

Ethyl acetoacetate is widely used in organic synthesis. For example, it can be used to synthesize heterocyclic compounds such as pyridine, pyrrole, pyrazolone, pyrimidine, purine and cyclic lactone. It is also widely used in drug synthesis. For example, ethyl acetoacetate is cyclized with resorcinol to obtain 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin, which is an anti-allergic drug scale intermediate. The condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with chlorobenzyl gives ethyl α-acetylphenylpropanate, which is an intermediate of the cough medicine cough ketone.

Ethyl acetate is cyclized with thiourea to prepare the antithyroid drug methionopyrimidine (an intermediate of the coronary dilator dipyridamole). The particularity of EAA structure determines that it has both the properties of ketones and the reaction characteristics of enols, and its chemical properties are very active.

production method | 1. esterification of diketene and ethanol diketene and absolute ethanol are esterified under concentrated sulfuric acid catalysis to obtain crude ethyl acetoacetate. The finished product is then rectified under reduced pressure. 2. Ethyl acetate self-condensation method is obtained by self-condensation of two molecules of ethyl acetate in the presence of metallic sodium. It is obtained by condensation and distillation of ethyl acetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide. It is obtained by esterification of diketene and absolute ethanol under concentrated sulfuric acid catalysis and then distillation under reduced pressure. the preparation method commonly used in industry is that diketene and anhydrous ethanol are esterified under the catalysis of concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain crude ethyl acetoacetate, and then the finished product is rectified under reduced pressure. Ethanol and sulfuric acid are added into the esterification pot according to the ratio, stirred and heated. When the temperature rises to 82 ℃, diketene is added dropwise, and the esterification temperature shall not exceed 130 ℃. Continue to reflux until the reaction temperature no longer changes and the esterification solution does not have diketene to end the reaction. The temperature of the feed liquid is reduced to less than 120 ℃, and the low boiling substance is removed under the condition of controlling the reflux ratio of 1:1. When the low boiling substance is no longer distillated, the vacuum degree is increased to 86.6kPa, and the low boiling substance is continued to be removed. When the top temperature of the tower rises above 100 ℃, the vacuum degree is increased to 97.3 kPa, and the finished product is distilled with a content greater than 97%. Self-condensation reaction of ethyl acetate can also be used. 2CH3COOC3H5[Na]→ CH3COCH2COOC2H5 250g of sodium metal is added to 4240mL of ethyl acetate, and the reaction starts very slowly. It needs to be warmed in a water bath. Once the reaction starts, it is very violent and needs to be cooled. Ethyl acetate was recovered by distillation after reflux reaction. Add 1375mL 56% acetic acid solution, stir and reflux, add 250g of salt, separate the oil, extract with ether, recover ether from the extract, and wash with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution until acidic. After drying with calcium chloride, distillation under reduced pressure, 76~78 ℃/2.4kPa fraction is collected as the finished product, and the yield is close to 30%. |
