Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 89-91-8, name is Methyl 2,2-dimethoxyacetate, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., Safety of Methyl 2,2-dimethoxyacetate
A diethyl ether solution of ethylmagnesium bromide (concentration=2 1.85 mass %, 277 g) was added to a reaction flask and was cooled to around 0 C. by stirring on an ice-cooling bath. A Grignard reaction was carried out by the dropwise addition to this solution over one hour of methyl dimethoxyacetate (25 g). This was followed by return to room temperature and reaction for 12 hours. The reaction solution was ice-cooled; 200 g of a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added dropwise; and the pH was subsequently adjusted to around neutrality by the dropwise addition of 10 mE of a 36% hydrochloric acid solution. The solution was then transferred to a separatory funnel; the organics were extracted with 50 g of hexane and separated; and drying was carried out over an appropriate amount of magnesium sulfate. This hexane suspension was filtered followed by removal of the solvent on an oil bath at around 65 C. Distillation was performed under reduced pressure on an oil bath at around 100 C. to obtain 22.4 g of a transparent and colorless 3-dimethoxym- ethyl-3-pentanol (GC purity=96.3%). 10 g of pure water and 1 g of 36% hydrochloric acid were added under ice cooling to 7 g of the 3-dimethoxymethyl-3-pentanol and stirring was carried out overnight. After this, 9.5 g of a 33% aqueous ethylamine solution was added dropwise under ice cooling and a reaction was run for 10 hours. The pH of the reaction solution at this time was 10 to 11. When stirring was stopped, separation occurred into an aqueous layer and a small amount of an organic layer, and the organic layer was determined to be alcohol compound No. 140 according to the NMR results. 2.7 g of the target was obtained for a yield of 33%.
Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 89-91-8.
