Electric Literature of 3068-00-6 ,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3068-00-6, molecular formula is C4H10O3, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc., below Introduce a new synthetic route.
Comparative Example 1; 304 g of racemic 1,2,4-butanetriol, 304 g of polyethyleneglycol (Average MW=400 g/mol, hereinafter referred to as ‘PEG-400’), and 41.6 g of para-toluenesulfonic acid were fed into a batch type reactor equipped with a distilling apparatus and then stirred. While the reaction pressure was reduced to 10 torr or less, and the temperature of the reactor was slowly increased to 12O0C, the reaction was conducted for 12 hours. During the reaction, tetrahydrofuran was distilled and separated using the distilling apparatus provided at the upper portion of the reactor, thus yielding tetrahydrofuran having 98% or more purity at a yield of 85 mol%.
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles. 3068-00-6, 1,2,4-Butanetriol, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
