Drug Information

EXPTL USE: A NUMBER OF ALIPHATIC DIOLS WERE TESTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE CLASS OF COMPOUNDS MAY HAVE EFFICACY IN SUPPRESSING THE ETHANOL WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME IN RATS. WHEN ADMIN INTRAGASTRICALLY, 2,5-DIMETHYL-2,5-HEXANEDIOL WAS EFFECTIVE WITHOUT INDUCING INTOXICATION. THE WITHDRAWAL-SUPPRESSING POTENCIES OF DRUGS WERE RELATED TO THE ABILITY TO PARTITION INTO MEMBRANES, THE SAME PROPERTY THAT DETERMINES POTENCY AS DEPRESSANTS.

2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Most of the industrial production of 2, 5-dimethyl-2, 5-hexanediol uses acetylene and acetone as raw materials. In the past, atmospheric pressure acetylation was widely used. The process route is atmospheric pressure acetylation, hydrolysis and hydrogenation. step. Acetylene and acetone undergo acetylation reaction with excess potassium hydroxide in a solvent under normal pressure to generate 2, 5-dimethyl-3-hexyne-2, 5-diol potassium, which is then hydrolyzed under acidic conditions Generate 2, 5-dimethyl-3-hexyne-2, 5-diol, and finally use Raney nickel as a catalyst to catalytically hydrogenate the product at a pressure of 2 to 2.5 MPa. Atmospheric pressure acetylation technology is more mature, but for the gas-liquid acetylene reaction, the production efficiency of atmospheric operation is low from the viewpoint of kinetics, and can only be carried out intermittently. In addition, the consumption of potassium hydroxide is large. It is inconvenient to recycle, and the equipment is corroded seriously, and the operation is troublesome. The pressure acetylation method developed by the Southwest Research Institute of Chemical Industry in China is used to prepare 2, 5-dimethyl-2, 5-hexanediol. The process includes three steps of pressure acetylation, condensation and hydrogenation. The acetylene and acetone are subjected to high pressure Under the pressure of 18~20 kgf/cm2 (1kgf/cm2=98.0665kPa) in the kettle, the temperature is 35~40℃ to produce 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, and then it is mixed with acetone at 30~50℃ Condensation to 2, 5-dimethyl-3-hexyne-2, 5-diol, and finally under a pressure of 10kgf/cm2, using Raney nickel as a catalyst, catalytic hydrogenation at 30-80°C to obtain the product. The pressurized acetylene method can be continuously produced with high production efficiency, and the consumption of potassium hydroxide is only 1/6 to 1/4 of that of the normal pressure acetylene method. The alcohol hydrolyzed with alcohol is also reduced correspondingly, and the equipment corrosion is reduced. , Yangzhou Chemical Plant uses this method for production.
