Use | used as raw material and dye intermediate in Pharmaceutical Industry used as intermediate in organic synthesis intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. It is used in the manufacture of drugs such as Monascus and chloramphenicol. It is also used in the dye industry. |
production method | is obtained by esterification of dichloroacetic acid with methanol. The dichloroacetic acid is put into the reaction pot, heated to 120 ° C., methanol is added dropwise for reaction, the generated Ester and water are continuously distilled out, and the vapor condenser is cooled to a mixture of Ester, water, alcohol and acid, it flows into the water separator, and flows into the crude methyl dichloroacetate storage tank through the liquid sealing pipe from the lower part. The alcohol and water return to the reaction pot through the overflow of the water separator to continue the reaction. Crude dichloroacetic acid methyl ester was neutralized to slight alkalinity with 10% sodium carbonate solution at room temperature, allowed to stand and separated, and then the ester layer was washed with water. The crude ester is distilled under reduced pressure to separate low boiling substances such as water and methanol, and the fraction above 65 ℃(8.0kPa) is collected as the finished product. Each ton of product consumption of dichloroacetic acid (≥ 90%)1100kg, methanol 360kg. |
