Storage method

Storage Precautions^[21] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 32°C and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, acids, alkalis, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency spill treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. Prepared by esterification reaction of chloroacetic acid and methanol. Mix methanol and chloroacetic acid evenly at a weight ratio of 0.366:1, stir and heat, and perform esterification reaction at 105-110°C. During the reaction process, the ternary azeotrope of methyl chloroacetate, water and methanol is continuously steamed out, and is separated into layers through the ester separator. The separated methanol and water are returned to the reaction pot, and the separated crude ester is treated with sodium carbonate. neutralize. The neutralized crude ester is first distilled under normal pressure to cut the 130°C fraction, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect the 65°C (8kPa) fraction, which is the finished product of methyl chloroacetate. The yield is about 96%. When used as a pesticide intermediate, the crude ester obtained can be washed and neutralized to obtain a product with a content of more than 95%, which can be used directly. To produce 1 ton of methyl chloroacetate of this specification, approximately 800kg of chloroacetic acid and 330kg of methanol are consumed. During laboratory preparation, concentrated sulfuric acid is often added dropwise to the mixture of chloroacetic acid and methanol, heated to reflux for 5 hours, and then neutralized, washed, dried, and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product.

2. Its preparation method is through esterification reaction of chloroacetic acid and methanol.

Place methanol and chloroacetic acid by mass Mix evenly at a ratio of 0.336:1, stir and heat, and perform esterification reaction at 105 to 110°C. During the reaction process, the ternary azeotrope of methyl chloroacetate, water and methanol is continuously steamed out, and is separated into layers through the ester separator. The separated methanol and water are returned to the reaction pot, and the separated crude ester is treated with sodium carbonate. neutralize. The neutralized crude ester is first distilled under normal pressure to cut the 130°C fraction, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect the 65°C/79.98kPa fraction to obtain the finished product of methyl chloroacetate with a yield of about 96%.

3.Add chloroacetic acid and methanol into the enamel jar, heat to dissolve, cool, add concentrated sulfuric acid dropwise, heat to reflux for 5 hours, after cooling, Wash twice with water, twice with 5% sodium carbonate, then wash with water until ph=7, separate the aqueous layer and dry it with anhydrous magnesium chloride, filter out the desiccant, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product.

Purpose

Used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate for the pesticide “dimethoate”. ^[22]
