colorless liquid. The relative density was 1. 156. Melting Point -62 °c. Boiling point 181.4 °c. Refractive index 4135. Soluble in alcohol, ether and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in water.
sodium chloroacetate was formed by the interaction of chloroacetic acid and sodium carbonate, and then sodium cyanoacetate was obtained by cyanidation with sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanoacetate is hydrolyzed into sodium malonate, and then esterified with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid to obtain crude dimethyl malonate, which is washed and distilled to obtain a finished product.

use | used in pharmaceutical and organic synthesis dimethyl malonate is an important raw material for the production of pharmaceutical pipemidic acid. Foreign dimethyl malonate is mainly used as a raw material for the production of pipemidic acid by non-ethoxymethylene process, and it reacts with orthoformate and urea to produce pipemidic acid. At present, most of the dimethyl malonate produced by related enterprises in China is used to produce pipemidic acid except for export. gas chromatography analysis standard. Organic synthesis. gas chromatography comparison sample, organic synthesis. |
production method | cyanide esterification method is mostly used. Chloroacetic acid and sodium carbonate are neutralized to form sodium chloroacetate, and then sodium cyanide is used for cyanidation to obtain sodium cyanoacetate. Sodium cyanoacetate is hydrolyzed into sodium malonate, and then esterified with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid to obtain dimethyl malonate, which is washed and distilled to obtain the finished product. Industrial products contain more than 98% esters. Raw material consumption quota: chloroacetic acid 1120kg/t, sodium cyanide 551kg/t, methanol 955kg/t. The new process developed abroad is mainly based on catalytic carbonylation, that is, using chloroacetate, carbon monoxide, and methanol as raw materials, in the presence of a catalyst, one-step reaction synthesis of dimethyl malonate. In contrast, the catalytic carbonylation process is advanced in technology, but the process is complex, the reaction conditions are harsh, and it is difficult to realize industrialization. |
