Usage

General Description

Allyl orthoformate is a colorless liquid chemical compound with a pungent odor. It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis for the production of pharmaceuticals and fragrances. Allyl orthoformate is also used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is known to be highly flammable and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact. Additionally, it should be handled with care due to its potential to react violently with strong oxidizing agents. Overall, allyl orthoformate is an important chemical in the field of organic synthesis, but it requires careful handling and storage to ensure safety.

Green preparing orthoformate cleaning process

The invention provides a green process for preparing orthoformate. A hydrogen chloride alcohol solution is prepared from a byproduct hydrogen chloride tail gas of the chlorine-related synthesis industry and then is slowly added into a reaction system, so that loss caused by escape of hydrocyanic acid is reduced, the yield is increased, great equipment corrosion caused by the byproduct hydrochloric acid prepared by the companies is avoided, the economic additional value of the byproduct hydrogen chloride is greatly increased, three wastes are avoided, the byproduct only comprises ammonium chloride, resources are reasonably utilized, and the green process for preparing the orthoformate is an environment-friendly production process and has a good social benefit.

A practical synthetic method for α- and β-glycosyloxyacetic acids

Dihydroxylation of allyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-6-O-tritylglycosides provides diols, the anomers of which can easily be separated by column chromatography in a practical scale. These anomers can be cleanly transformed into α- and β-glycosyloxyacetic acids, respectively, via oxidative cleavage of the diol followed by oxidation.
