introduction | malononitrile is a colorless solid ( |
application | malononitrile is a nitrile organic substance, which can be used as an intermediate for pesticides and medicines. |
Use | Malononitrile is a raw material for the preparation of 2-amino -4, 6-dimethoxypyrimidine and 2-chloro-4, 6-dimethoxypyrimidine. It can be used to produce sulfonylurea herbicides such as bensulfuron-methyl, pyrisulfuron-methyl, etc., and it can also be used to make herbicide bisoxyl, which is used to make diuretic drugs in medicine. Organic synthetic raw materials. In medicine, it is used to synthesize a series of important drugs such as vitamin B1, methotrexate, and triamterene. Dyes, pesticides and other aspects have important uses. It can also be used as an extractant for gold. China is now mainly used for the production of triamterene, bensulfuron, 1,4,5,8-naphthenic acid, pyrimidine series products. It is used in pharmaceuticals and is a drug triamterene intermediate It can be used as a raw material for organic synthesis, a pharmaceutical intermediate and an organic solvent. |
production method | 1. the laboratory is prepared by the elimination reaction of cyanoacetamide and phosphorus oxychloride. After mixing 1260g(15mol) of cyanoacetamide, 1kg of salt and 5L of dichloroethane for 15min, 800ml(8.75mol) of phosphorus oxychloride was added. Subsequently, heat reflux for 8h. Re-cool to room temperature and filter. Wash the filter cake with 50ml of dichloroethane. Combine the filtration and washing liquid, and evaporate the solvent to obtain crude malononitrile. The crude product was distilled under reduced pressure with a yield of 113-118 ℃(3.3kPa) to obtain 570-654g of product with a yield of 57-66%. 2. Oxidative ammonolysis of propene. 3. Reaction of acetonitrile with cyanogen chloride. At present, Chinese enterprises adopt the following production methods: ethyl cyanoacetate (methyl ester) → ammoniation → elimination → distillation → refining → malononitrile. the preparation method is to react with ethyl cyanoacetate and ammonia, react below 20 ℃, cool in an ice bath for 2 h, filter out the precipitate, wash the filter cake with ice water, and then recrystallize with ethanol to obtain cyanoacetamide, react with cyanoacetamide and phosphorus pentoxide, distill under reduced pressure, collect fractions below 110~120 ℃ as crude products, and then distill under reduced pressure to obtain finished products. NCCH2COOC2H5 + NH3 → NCCH2CONH2 + C2H5OHNCCH2CONH2 + P2O5 → NC-CH2-CN +2HPO3 Now the dehydrating agent uses phosphorus oxychloride, the reaction environment is improved, and the yield is also improved. |
