Preparation of 2,2-Dimethylol Propionic Acid

Article Preview

Abstract:

2,2-Dimethylol propionic acid was synthesized by two steps using sodium hydroxide as the catalyst in this article. The influence of various factors on the yield of 2,2-Dimethylol propionic acid were studied by single factor experiment that included condensation temperature, condensation time, propionaldehyde-formaldehyde ratioetc.. On the basis of this foundation, the orthogonal design was carried out in order to confirm the preferable synthesis conditions of 2,2-Dimethylolpropanoic. The results show that the optimal synthesis conditions are as follows: condensation time is 8 hours, condensation temperature is 35°C, propionaldehyde-formaldehyde ratio is 2.2, sodium hydroxide-formaldehyde ratio is 0.03, the oxidation temperature is 90°C, oxidation time is 6 hours. The product yield can reach to 71.35% under these reaction conditions that is higher than the value reported in references.
