Use | trimethyl ortho-acetate is an important intermediate for the synthesis of methyl dichloro-urate. is used for the production of pharmaceutical, pesticide intermediates, but also the production of food additives, coatings, paints and other main raw materials. is used for the production of pharmaceutical, pesticide intermediates, but also the production of food additives, coatings, paints and other main raw materials, used as organic synthesis reagents. |
production method | the preparation method is to add anhydrous acetonitrile, methanol and carbon tetrachloride in the reaction pot, cooling to -10 °c, with stirring, into the dry HCl gas, after passing the HCl, slowly warmed to 0~5 °c, continue to stir at this temperature for 12h, the reaction mixture of crude imino ether hydrochloride was neutralized with 28% sodium methoxide methanol solution to pH = 6.5, then added with pre-cooled methanol for alcoholysis, and the temperature was controlled at 5 ℃, then the temperature was raised to 35~40 ℃, the reaction was continued to stir for 10h, then cooled to 0~5 ℃, ammonium chloride was removed by Suction filtration, and the filtrate was neutralized with 28% sodium methoxide methanol solution to adjust pH = 8, then filtration, and then distillation, first remove the solvent carbon tetrachloride, and then collect 107~110 deg C fraction of trimethyl orthoacetate, the yield can reach 90%. |
