Use | food flavor. ethyl propionyl pyruvate is an intermediate for the synthesis of the acaricide Piramide. |
production method | propionyl pyruvate ethyl ester is prepared from diethyl oxalate and butanone as raw materials. Add 6.3g of metallic sodium into 140ml of anhydrous ethanol in portions. After all the sodium is dissolved, add 36.5g of a mixture of diethyl oxalate and 18.0g of butanone Dropwise at about 0 ℃, add it within 1H, and continue to stir for reaction, the disappearance of diethyl oxalate was confirmed as the end point of the reaction by gas chromatography. The reactants were slowly poured into a mixture of 30g of sulfuric acid and 200g of crushed ice, and extracted with chloroform (60ml × 3). The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and desolved, followed by distillation under reduced pressure, fractions of 98-104 °c (1.07-1.33kPa) were collected to give 34.2g of a bright yellow liquid in 80% yield. synthesized from methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl oxalate. |
