Triethyl orthoacetate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method of triethyl orthoacetate is similar to that of trimethyl orthoacetate. The acetonitrile, toluene and absolute ethanol are pumped into the salt-forming pot, cooled to -10~-5℃, and a metered amount of dry hydrogen chloride is introduced to maintain the salt. Temperature -5~0℃, when hydrogen chloride is passed through, react at 0℃ for 1h, then keep it at 0~20℃ for 0.5h, move to the alcoholysis pot for salt formation reaction, keep the temperature at 20~25℃, while stirring The reaction takes about 12 hours. The intermediate imino ether hydrochloride is gradually precipitated. Cool to 0~5℃, then add pre-cooled absolute ethanol and thymol blue indicator, accelerate the stirring, and slowly introduce ammonia gas Neutralize the alcoholysis material and observe the indicator color change until it turns from red to yellow and no longer turns red, pH=3.6. At this time, the aeration is finished, and then the alcoholysis reaction is carried out at 40°C for about 8-9 hours, and the material is cooled. , Filtered through a centrifuge to remove ammonium chloride, the filtrate was pumped into the neutralization pot, and 17% sodium ethoxide ethanol solution was added to adjust the pH of the solution to 8-9, and the alcoholysis product was pumped into the distillation pot for atmospheric distillation, and the temperature was controlled at Ethanol was recovered at 75°C, the remaining liquid was cooled and filtered to remove acetamide and sodium chloride solids, and then washed with 1% Na2CO3 solution, separated into layers, and the oil layer was subjected to vacuum distillation. The toluene was evaporated first, and then 88-98°C/0.07 was collected. The MPa fraction is triethyl orthoacetate. Reaction equation: CH3CN+C2H5OH[HCl]→CH3C(OCH5)3+NH4Cl

Uses

It is an intermediate for the synthesis of medicine, dyes and pesticides.
