2-Methoxybenzaldehyde Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is prepared by salicylaldehyde methylation reaction with dimethyl sulfate. 3kg of sodium hydroxide was made into a 30% aqueous solution, which was added to a solution containing 12.2kg of salicylaldehyde and 80L of water with stirring, and heated to boiling. Slowly add 12.9kg of dimethyl sulfate to keep the reaction solution refluxing for about 3h. After adding, continue to reflux for 2-3h. Cool the oil layer, wash with 5% sodium hydroxide solution, and then wash to pH 8 with water, add anhydrous Potassium carbonate dried. After filtering off the desiccant, distill under reduced pressure and collect the 120°C (2.0kPa) fraction, which is o-methoxybenzaldehyde. The methylation reaction can also be carried out in toluene, the yield is 60%.
