use | propionic anhydride is used as a propionylating agent in the manufacture of medicines, fragrances and special esters, in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce horosamycin propionate (antibiotics), testosterone propionate (male hormone deficiency), oxymethandrosterone propionate (anticancer drug), and chlordimethasone (adrenal cortex). Hormones) and betamethasone dipropionate (adrenal cortex hormone), etc. It is also used as a dehydrating agent for nitration and sulfonation reactions in organic synthesis, and is used to make alkyd resins and dyes. It is mainly used as an esterifying agent and a dehydrating agent for nitrification or sulfonation, and is also used to make alkyd resins, dyes and drugs. As a propionylating agent, it is used for medicine, fragrances and special esters (such as propionate Cellulose) production in medicine can produce the antibiotic drug ceramicin propionate, testosterone propionate for the treatment of male hormone deficiency, anticancer drugs hydroxymethoandrosterone propionate, adrenal cortex hormones such as chlordimethasone propionate and betamethasone dipropionate, etc. propionic anhydride is used as a propionylating agent for the production of medicines, fragrances and special esters (such as cellulose propionate). In medicine, it can be used to prepare the anti-biotics drug grosamycin propionate propionate for the treatment of male hormone deficiency Testosterone propionate, anticancer drug hydroxymethoandrosterone propionate, adrenocortical hormone chlordimethasone propionate and betamisone dipropionate, etc. |
production method | obtained by heating and dehydration of propionic acid at 235 ℃ and 8 × 105Pa. It can also be heated and refluxed by sodium propionyl chloride for 4 hours, and then distilled and fractionated to collect the 165-169 ℃ fraction as propionic anhydride. |
