Chlorofos Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

First, methanol and trichloroacetaldehyde are mixed to form hemiacetal (and contains a small amount of acetal). Then at a lower temperature, phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol to form dimethyl phosphite (free methanol or hemiacetal and methanol in acetal are easily reacted with phosphorus trichloride), and HCl and CH3Cl are excluded in time. Finally, at higher temperatures, trichloroacetaldehyde and dimethyl phosphite undergo a condensation reaction to form trichlorfon. In continuous operation, control methanol and trichloroacetaldehyde to be slightly larger than the theoretical amount, and the mass ratio is phosphorus trichloride; methanol; trichloroacetaldehyde=1: (0.73~0.78): (1.12~1.18); the esterification temperature is 40 ~50℃, residence time 10min; liquid phase temperature of deacidification liquid is 80℃, condensation temperature is 90~95℃, residence time is 40-50min; the temperature of defluent is 95~105℃ first, then <120℃. The production of trichlorfon can also be carried out by one-step synthesis. That is, once feeding, dimethyl phosphite is generated at low temperature, and trichlorfon is directly generated at high temperature without separation. In the esterification stage, trichloroacetaldehyde and methanol are mixed, the temperature does not exceed 50 ℃, cooled to below 5 ℃, phosphorus trichloride is added, and hydrogen chloride and methyl chloride are discharged for recovery. After the esterification liquid in the condensation stage is further removed from the enemy country to remove hydrogen chloride, the reaction tank is carried out at a temperature of 80 to 120°C to form trichlorfon.

Uses

One of the biologically active forms of nicotinic acid. Differs from NAD by an additional phosphate group at the 2?position of the adenosine moiety. Serves as a coenzyme of hydrogenases and dehydrogenases. Present in living cells primarily in the r
