uses | is mainly used for the synthesis of isobutyrate ester products, such as methyl isobutyrate, propyl ester, isoamyl Ester, benzyl ester, etc, also used in the pharmaceutical GB 2760-1996 specified as permitted for the use of flavorants. Mainly used in the preparation of cream, apple, caramel, cheese, bread, yeast and other flavors. isobutyric acid is not as important as butyric acid. The use is similar to that of N-butyric acid, and is mainly used to produce the corresponding Ester, for example, methyl isobutyrate has apricot flavor, Propyl isobutyrate has pineapple flavor, isoamyl isobutyrate has banana flavor, and octyl isobutyrate has grape flavor, benzyl isobutyrate has the jasmine flavor of the herb mold flavor, etc., and can be used as a synthetic flavor and a solvent. It is also used in the manufacture of varnishes and plasticizers. There are some important derivatives of isobutyric acid, which are industrially practically used as intermediates in the production of isobutyronitrile and then converted into isobutyramine hydrochloride, which is the starting material of the insecticide diazinon. raw materials for the production of esters for perfumes and fragrances, used as textile auxiliaries (in the form of salts) and as solvents for a variety of chemical reactions. used as a solvent for lipids, organic synthesis is also used in the preparation of flavors, fragrances and preservatives, etc. Leather deashing. Disinfectant. |
production method | the preparation method of isobutyric acid is similar to butyric acid, mainly the direct oxidation of isobutanol and isobutyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde is obtained by direct oxidation with air or oxygen. Other manufacturing methods include the hydrolysis of isobutyronitrile and the hydrogenation of methacrylic acid. Higher yields can also be obtained from the oxidation of 2-methyl-1-nitropropane to isobutyric acid. Isobutyric acid can be purified by azeotropic distillation with water, and anhydrous isobutyric acid is obtained by extractive distillation from carbon tetrachloride. Propylene and formate were catalyzed by hydrofluoric acid at 50 °c to form methyl isobutyrate and Propyl isobutyrate. Use: isobutyric acid is not important for butyric acid. The use is similar to that of N-butyric acid, and is mainly used to produce the corresponding Ester, for example, methyl isobutyrate has apricot flavor, Propyl isobutyrate has pineapple flavor, isoamyl isobutyrate has banana flavor, and octyl isobutyrate has grape flavor, benzyl isobutyrate has the jasmine flavor of the herb mold flavor, etc., and can be used as a synthetic flavor and a solvent. It is also used in the manufacture of varnishes and plasticizers. There are some important derivatives of isobutyric acid, which are industrially practically used as intermediates in the production of isobutyronitrile and then converted into isobutyramine hydrochloride, which is the starting material of the insecticide diazinon. obtained from the oxidation of isobutanol. |
