Diethyl squarate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Squaric acid (1.0023g) was dissolved in 30 mL EtOH and refluxed overnight. Then the solution was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography, giving 0.7430 g squaric ethyl ester in 50percent yield.A solution of squraic ethyl ester, 2-amino pyridine (100 mg, 0.588 mmol) and EtFor 12 h, 0.15 mol of 3, 4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1, 2-dione in 150 mL of absolute ethanol is heated under reflux.The reaction mixture is concentrated.The oil is purified by column chromatography.Mobile phase: methyl tert-butyl ether/iso-octane 50:50Stationary phase: AMICON 35-70 mic.Yield: 48percent

Uses

Intermediate for pharma products, for photochemicals used in the dry-view process, in synthesis of photosensitive squaraine dyes (eg. laser dyes used in CD-Rom) and as intermediate for functional polymers.
