Introduction | methyl 4-aminobenzoate, also known as methyl p-aminobenzoate, is an aromatic amine and an important organic chemical intermediate, widely used in medicine, materials, dyes, pesticides and other fields. |
preparation | methyl 4-aminobenzoate is a carboxylic acid ester derivative and can be obtained by reducing a nitro group from methyl p-nitrobenzoate. |
Use | for organic synthesis. used as dye intermediate |
production method | p-nitrobenzoic acid is esterified with methanol and then reduced with iron powder. P-nitrobenzoic acid was heated with methanol and sulfuric acid, and esterified for 6-8H under reflux. After methanol was recovered, the esterification product was poured into ice water for crystallization, filtered, and washed with water, sodium hydroxide solution and water in turn to obtain methyl p-nitrobenzoate. This was added to a mixture of hydrochloric acid, iron powder and water, and heated to micro-boiling for about 0.5 hours. Cooling, filtration, extraction with benzene, benzene recovery after the crude product, and then recrystallized with methanol, that is, methyl p-aminobenzoate. |
