Coumalic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Oleum (287g) is added dropwise over 2h to a suspension of malic acid (200g) in concentrated H2SO4 (313g) at [75C] and the resulting solution stirred for a further 4h, maintaining temperature at [75C] throughout. The mixture is cooled and then drowned out into ice-cold water over Ih. After stirring for [15MIN] and standing overnight, the mixture is cooled to below [10C] and the product is isolated by filtration to give coumalic acid (71 g, 95percent purity, 65percent yield) after washing and drying.2L three-necked flask was added 500 g (3.73 mol) of malic acid (I-0), 500 g of concentrated sulfuric acid, Stirring to dissolve the solid, slowly dropping 300ml (20percent) smoke concentrated sulfuric acid, After one hour, after heating, the temperature was raised to 100 ° C. The reaction was stirred for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, Pour 2Kg of crushed ice, stir the filter, washed.The obtained solid was recrystallized from methanol to give 287 g of brown crystals (I-1) in a yield of 55percent.
