use | used as an intermediate and spice in organic synthesis. Used as solvent |
production method | obtained by esterification of crotonic acid and methanol. The reaction solution made of 800g crotonic acid, 1L methanol, 130g sulfuric acid and 300ml carbon tetrachloride is heated in a water bath, and carbon tetrachloride is recovered after dehydration and esterification to obtain crude methyl crotonate. Then wash the unreacted crotonic acid in the crude product with water, wash it with 5% sodium carbonate, and refine it with reduced pressure distillation to obtain the finished product. |
