2-Ethoxybenzoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Methyl o-oxybenzoate is synthesized from methyl salicylate ([119-36-8]) and ethyl iodide, and then obtained by hydrolysis and acidification. The sodium metal, methyl salicylate, and ethyl iodide were sequentially added to anhydrous methanol and heated to reflux for 10 hours. After recovering methanol and ethyl iodide, pour it into cold water and separate the oil. Wash with water and 5% sodium hydroxide solution to pH=7, extract with ether, dry with anhydrous sodium carbonate and reflux the ether, then distill under reduced pressure to obtain methyl o-ethoxybenzoate. Add it to 5% sodium hydroxide solution and reflux for 2-3h, let it cool, and extract the unreacted ester with ether. The extracted aqueous solution was acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the oil layer was washed with water. Add 5% sodium hydroxide to dissolve it, filter and acidify it with hydrochloric acid until it reaches the oil layer and freeze to crystallize the crude product. The acidified aqueous layer can be extracted with ether, and a part of the crude product can also be obtained. The crude product is distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product o-ethoxybenzoic acid.
