properties | phenyl acetate is a colorless liquid, miscible with ethanol, ether, chloroform and acetic acid, slightly soluble in water. Strong refractive (same as glass), with a phenol odor. |
Use | phenyl acetate is mainly used as a solvent and an intermediate in organic synthesis, for the treatment of acute and chronic jaundice hepatitis, cholecystitis and other diseases. as a solvent and an intermediate for organic synthesis, phenyl acetate is obtained by translocation reaction to obtain hydroxyacetophenone, which is used for the treatment of acute and chronic icteric hepatitis and cholecystitis. solvent. Organic Synthesis. |
production method | is obtained by reacting sodium phenolate with acetic anhydride. Phenol was added to 15% sodium hydroxide solution, dissolved with stirring to prepare sodium phenolate solution, acetic anhydride was added, and reacted at 30-40 °c. The resulting reaction product was sequentially washed with water, 5% sodium hydroxide solution, and water, dried over calcium chloride, and then distilled to obtain a finished product. The reaction time required for this method is very short, and the yield is about 77%. Another operation method is to heat phenol and acetic anhydride together to boiling, reflux for 3H, after cooling, water washing, alkali washing, water washing, after drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, distillation to collect 190-195 ℃ fraction, good for phenyl acetate. The yield was about 83%. |
