uses | α-chloropropionic acid is the fungicide metalaxyl, benzalene, oxaoling, herbicide grass spirit, intermediates of pyriflometrine, thiazole grass, oxazole grass, flupiriline, ruflumehraline, and thallus, 2,4 drops of propionate, 2me4chloropropionate, etc. It is mainly used in the production of pesticides and herbicides. 2-chloropropionic acid is also used in the production of lactic acid and lower alcohol esters of industrial value.. intermediates for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and other organic synthesis intermediates for organic synthesis and herbicides |
production method | is derived from the chlorination of propionic acid. The preparation method is to add propionic acid and a certain amount of catalyst PCl3 in the reaction kettle, and inject chlorine at 120~125 ℃ to control the relative density of the reactants to reach the end of the reaction, stop chlorine gas, cool to room temperature, remove excess chlorine and hydrogen chloride with air or nitrogen, and obtain product by decompression and fractionation.
