ethyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate - Introduction
3-methyl -2-cyanobenzoic acid ethyl ester, also known as methyl isophthalonitrile ethyl formate, the chemical formula is C10H9NO2. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of the compound:
Nature:
1. Appearance: colorless to light yellow liquid;
2. Boiling point: 216-218 ℃;
3. Density: 1.08g/cm3;
4. Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, ether and chloroform.
Use:
1. 3-Methyl-2-cyanobenzoic acid ethyl ester can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, which is widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, pesticide synthesis and other fields;
2. It can also be used as a synthetic precursor for dyes and pigments.
Method:
Ethyl 3-methyl-2-cyanobenzoate is generally synthesized by the following steps:
1. reacting p-toluic acid with sodium cyanide to generate p-toluenitrile;
2. p-Toluenitrile and ethanol are reacted under the catalysis of hydrochloric acid to generate ethyl 3-methyl -2-cyanobenzoate.
Safety Information:
1. Ethyl 3-methyl-2-cyanobenzoate may be irritating to eyes and skin, and should be rinsed with plenty of water immediately after contact;
2. During use or storage, contact with strong oxidants and strong acids should be avoided to avoid dangerous reactions;
3. use should be careful to avoid inhalation, swallowing or contact. It should be used in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection.
4.3-methyl -2-cyanobenzoic acid ethyl ester should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from fire.
