Trimethyl orthoacetate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method is to add anhydrous acetonitrile, methanol and solvent carbon tetrachloride to the reaction pot, cool to -10°C, pass in a metered amount of dry HCl gas under stirring, and slowly raise the temperature to 0 after passing the HCl. ~5℃, continue to stir at this temperature for 12h to obtain a reaction mixture of crude imino ether hydrochloride. The reaction mixture is neutralized with 28% sodium methoxide methanol solution to pH=6.5, and then pre-cooled methanol is added. Alcoholysis, the temperature is controlled at 5℃, then the temperature is raised to 35~40℃, the reaction is continued to stir for 10h, then cooled to 0~5℃, ammonium chloride is removed by suction filtration, the filtrate is neutralized with 28% sodium methoxide methanol solution to adjust the pH =8, then filter and then distill, first remove the solvent carbon tetrachloride, and then collect the distillate at 107~110℃ to be trimethyl orthoacetate, the yield can reach 90%.

Uses

It is an intermediate used in the production of medicines and pesticides, as well as the main raw material for the production of food additives, coatings, paints, etc. It is used as an organic synthesis reagent.
