Properties and stability

1. Avoid contact with oxidants, acids, and alkalis. It is a flammable liquid, please pay attention to the source of fire. Not corrosive to copper, mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum.

2. Chemical properties: relatively stable, alkali can accelerate its hydrolysis, while acid has no promoting effect on hydrolysis. In the presence of metal oxides, silica gel, and activated carbon, it decomposes at 200°C to generate carbon dioxide and ethylene oxide. When reacting with phenol, carboxylic acid, and amine, β-hydroxyethyl ether, β-hydroxyethyl ester, and β-hydroxyethyl ethyl carbamate are generated respectively. Boiled with alkali to form carbonate. Ethylene glycol carbonate is heated at high temperature using a base as a catalyst to generate polyethylene oxide. Under the action of sodium methoxide, sodium monomethyl carbonate is generated. Dissolve ethylene glycol carbonate in concentrated hydrobromic acid and heat it at 100°C for several hours in a sealed tube to decompose into carbon dioxide and vinyl bromide.

3. Exist in smoke.

Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. should be kept away from oxidizer, do not store together. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. Obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide.

Refining method: Distillation under reduced pressure, the distillate is dissolved in ether, cooled, crystallized, filtered, and then recrystallized with anhydrous ether to obtain the pure product.

2.Add 800 ml (6.6 mol) into a three-neck flask equipped with a stirrer and radium separation columnDiethyl carbonate and 335 ml (6.0 mol) ethylene glycol, heat and stir until the temperature of the reaction solution reaches 100-105°C and the two liquid layers are miscible. Remove the stirrer and add 0.3 g Anhydrous potassium carbonate and some broken magnetic pieces are heated to steam out ethanol. The temperature at the top of the separation column should not exceed 80°C, and about 98% of the theoretical amount of ethanol can be steamed out. Cool, dissolve the distillation residue in 300 ml of absolute ethanol, filter, fully cool in an ice bath, filter again, and wash the crystals with ether. Recrystallize anhydrous ethyl alcohol and dry it in a vacuum dryer containing phosphorus pentoxide to obtain the product, with a yield of 51 to 55%.

Purpose

1. Currently it is mainly used in three aspects. (1) Used as water glass-based slurry to prepare pollution-free water glass-based slurry using 1,3-dioxolane and potassium bicarbonate as curing agent and quick-setting agent respectively. Due to the acrylamide and urea system Slurries are banned, and water glass-based slurries receive widespread attention. (2) Used to synthesize furazolidone (C8H7N3O5, [67-45-8]; this is a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug used to prevent coccidiosis in chickens. (3) Used as fiber finishing agent and other processing aids. Used in chemical fertilizers, fibers, pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis.

2. Used as a solvent for nylon, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, etc., a foaming agent for plastics and rubber, a stabilizer for synthetic lubricants, and Raw material for preparing drugs, carbonates, glycidol, etc. It is also used to selectively extract aromatic hydrocarbons from a mixture of non-aromatic hydrocarbons.
