Use | use as a solvent and a raw material for organic synthesis GB 2760-86 specifies the permitted use of flavorants. It is used for flavors such as chocolate, white wine, chives, apples, nuts, bread, cereals, etc. It is used as a coating solvent, a raw material for medicine, a flotation agent for non-ferrous metals, and a foam inhibitor for boiler water. used as chromatographic standard reagents and Analytical reagents, also used in organic synthesis organic synthesis, solvent. High purity can be used as a standard for gas chromatography. |
production method | 1. The pentane fraction is dehydrated by anhydrous hydrogen chloride and then mixed with chlorine gas at 120-300 ℃. The product is cooled and rectified, and then hydrolyzed with sodium oleate as catalyst and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, crude amyl alcohol and water separation, distillation can be obtained containing primary alcohol 59%, secondary alcohol 36%, tertiary alcohol 5% of amyl alcohol. It is reported that this method is mainly used in the United States. Carbonylation of C4 olefins by carbonylation of C4 olefins with 65% sulfuric acid, followed by carbonylation with cobalt salt as catalyst, water gas pressure 14.7-19.6MPa, reaction temperature 140-170 ℃. The carbonylation reactant is treated with hydrogen or dilute sulfuric acid to decompose cobalt carbonyl into metallic cobalt, which is reduced at a hydrogen pressure of 17.7-19.6MPA and a temperature below 180-200 ° C., and then separated and refined to obtain amyl alcohol. From the hydrogenation of valeraldehyde in the presence of sodium amalgam. |
