production method | 88g(1mol) of newly steamed pyruvate, 128g(4mol) of anhydrous methanol, 350ml and 0.2g of p-toluenesulfonic acid are heated and refluxed together overnight. during the continuous addition and flow process, the refluxing liquid is stratified and the lower liquid is continuously released until the refluxing liquid is tested for stratification. The reaction liquid was fractionated and the fraction at 136-140 ℃ was collected to obtain methyl pyruvate with a yield of 65-71%. |
