Dibasic acid | Malonic acid is also called methanedicarboxylic acid, carrot acid, malic acid, beet acid. There are 3 crystal types, two of which are triclinic and one is monoclinic. Crystallized from ethanol is triclinic white crystal. Relative molecular mass 104.06. Relative density 1.631(15 ℃). Melting point 135.6 ℃. Decompose to acetic acid and carbon dioxide at 140 ℃. It does not decompose under a vacuum of 1.067 × 103~1.333 × 103Pa, but sublimates directly. Insoluble in benzene, soluble in water 61.1(0 ℃), 73.5(20 ℃), 92.6(50 ℃), ethanol 57(20 ℃), ether 5.7(20 ℃), slightly soluble in pyridine. In case of potassium permanganate, it is decomposed into formic acid and carbon dioxide. Malonic acid is a dibasic acid, which has the typical reactivity of dibasic acid. For example, the methylene group of malonic acid is active and can undergo addition, alkylation, amination, halogenation and other reactions; its two carboxyl groups are very close apart and can be dehydrated; it can be esterified with alcohol; it is heated to decarboxylate; it is condensed with carbonyl compounds; it is added with compounds containing active double bonds. The hydroxyl groups in the two carboxyl groups of malonic acid are all substituted by ethoxy (see substitution reaction) to form the compound diethyl malonate. Diethyl malonate is an important organic synthesis raw material for dye and drug synthesis. Because the molecule contains active methylene group, it can first react with sodium alkoxide to form sodium malonate, and then interact with various active halides to form substituted malonate. It can be hydrolyzed and carboxylated to produce various Monobasic, dicarboxylic acid and other keto acids and other compounds. For example, the substituted malonate can be reacted with urea to produce a commonly used hypnotic barbital. Since malonic acid is heated to generate carbon dioxide and water, there is no pollution problem, so it can be directly used as an aluminum surface treatment agent; it is also a raw material for the production of pesticide fungicide Fuji No. 1 and herbicide Kukeda; the pharmaceutical industry uses malonic acid to prepare diuretics benzoxazolone, anti-inflammatory drug oxyphenylbutazone, sedative drug bromomethyloctine, etc. In addition, malonic acid and its esters are widely used as pharmaceutical intermediates, such as barbiturates, vitamins B1 and B6, etc., malonic acid esters are commonly used in organic synthesis, and are also used as adhesives, fragrances, resin additives, electroplating polishing agents, welding fluxes, etc. |
preparation method | the laboratory uses chloroacetic acid as raw material, neutralizes with NaOH or Na2CO3 to generate sodium chloroacetate salt, which reacts with KCN (or NaCN) to obtain sodium α-cyanoacetate, and then transforms malonic acid after alkaline hydrolysis, calcium salt replacement and acidification. The chemical reaction equation is as follows: |
use | mainly used in pharmaceutical intermediates, as well as fragrances, adhesives, resin additives, electroplating and polishing agents, etc. used as complexing agent, It is also used for the preparation of barbi soil salt, etc. Malonic acid is an intermediate of the fungicide Paisanaphrin and an intermediate of the plant growth regulator indenyl. malonic acid and its esters are mainly used in spices, adhesives, resin additives, pharmaceutical intermediates, electroplating polishing agents, explosion control agents, thermal welding fluxing additives, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce Lumina, barbital, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, phenylbutazone, amino acids, etc. Malonic acid is used as an aluminum surface treatment agent. Since only water and carbon dioxide are generated during heating and decomposition, there is no pollution problem. In this regard, it has great advantages over acid-type treatment agents such as formic acid used in the past. Determination of complexing agent of beryllium and copper. Calibration of standard alkali solution. Biochemical research. Organic synthesis. To make barbiturates. Standard for analysis by gas chromatography. |
production method | malonic acid is prepared by hydrolyzing cyanacetic acid or diethyl malonate in industry. Since malonic acid itself is not very stable, it is carried out through diethyl malonate in organic synthesis. Malonic acid exists in beetroot in the form of calcium salt, and the scale deposited in the deep shrinkage tank of sugar beet is calcium malonate. Malonic acid is a metabolic intermediate, and its derivatives have biological activity. Malonate, especially diethyl malonate and ethyl acetoacetate, are extremely important intermediates in organic synthesis. The intermediate for the preparation of malonic acid and its derivatives is cyanoacetic acid. Cyanoacetic acid is converted into free malonic acid by hydrolysis. Generally, it is directly esterified without separation. It is usually converted to diethyl ester, and free malonic acid is usually made by hydrolysis of diethyl malonate. the preparation method is to add sodium carbonate aqueous solution to the reaction kettle to form sodium chloroacetate aqueous solution, and then slowly add 30% sodium cyanide solution dropwise, and proceed at a given temperature to generate sodium cyanide. After the cyanidation reaction is completed, sodium hydroxide is added to heat up and hydrolyze to generate sodium malonate solution, which is concentrated, and then sulfuric acid is added dropwise to acidify to generate malonic acid, which is filtered and dried to obtain the product. |
