introduction | 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), which is an achiral organic acid with three carbon atoms, acid dissociation constant (pKa) is 4.5, liquid, viscous, colorless and tasteless, soluble in water, ethanol and ether. |
use | for organic synthesis |
production method | 3-hydroxypropionitrile is added to sodium hydroxide solution to react at 30 ℃, the reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the temperature is continuously increased until the product becomes paste. Cooling, adding sulfuric acid and stirring, extracting the generated 3-hydroxypropionic acid with diethyl ether, distilled the diethyl ether to obtain syrup-like 3-hydroxypropionic acid with a yield of 28-31%. |
