What is Methyl isobutyrylacetate?
With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, chemical products have invariably permeated our daily lives, in medicine, food, cosmetics, electronics, industry, and other areas, becoming an essential part of our lives. One such product is Methyl isobutyrylacetate which has developed particularly rapidly in recent years. Do you know about Methyl isobutyrylacetate?
The official answer: Colourless liquid. Melting point -90°C, boiling point 92°C, relative density 1.0174 (20/4°C), refractive index 1.4079, flash point 1°C. Soluble in ether, decomposes in water and alcohol. Derived from the reaction of isobutyric acid with sulfoxide chloride: isobutyric acid is added dropwise to sulfoxide chloride with stirring and immediately reacts to release hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide. After dropwise addition, continue stirring and raise the temperature to 80°C and hold for 0.5h. Distill and collect the broad fraction, then distill and collect the 92-92°C fraction to obtain the finished product.
What’s the application of Methyl isobutyrylacetate?
Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, it is the raw material for the production of efficient photoinitiator PI-906 and PI-907. Flammable liquid. Flammable by open fire, heat, oxidizer; toxic gases containing chlorine are released by heat, moisture and water; store at low temperature and dry; store lightly and separately from oxidizers and acids; foam, carbon dioxide, 1211 extinguishing agent.
