properties | ethyl cyanoformate is a colorless transparent liquid. |
Application | ethyl cyanoformate is a carboxylic acid ester derivative, which is a very important chemical intermediate, widely used in pharmaceutical, pesticide, chemical and textile fields, can be used for the production of esters, amides and heterocyclic compounds and synthetic drugs, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, and other chemicals, it can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of the anti-infective cefazolin and in the synthesis of tetrazolium acetic acid. |
synthesis method | The synthesis steps of ethyl cyanoformate are as follows: S1, clean the reactor, add S-1500 of aromatic hydrocarbon solvent to the reactor; S2, add 695kg of ethyl chloroformate and of hydrocyanic acid to the dropper; S3, add 30kg of triethylamine catalyst and 20kg of purified water to the reaction kettle, start the reaction kettle to stir and mix for 15 minutes, then stop the reaction kettle; S4, start the reaction kettle after reducing the temperature in the reaction kettle to 2 ℃, add ethyl chloroformate and hydrocyanic acid Dropwise under low-speed stirring, and control the dropping rate to complete the dropping within 2 hours; S5, continue stirring for 30 minutes after the dropping is completed, crude ethyl cyanoformate is obtained, and then the crude cyanoformate is transferred to a distillation column to perform atmospheric distillation on the crude cyanoformate, and the fraction before 90 ° C is removed to obtain a Colorless fuming fraction at 115-116 ° C, S6, the raw material is subjected to cyanidation reaction and distillation separation of ethyl cyanoformate, and then it is subjected to hydrogen oxidation The catalyst was recovered by sodium phase-separation washing. |
