Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.

Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. They should be stored separately from oxidants, and avoid mixed storage.��Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency spill treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. Preparation method:

In a reaction flask equipped with a stirrer and a reflux condenser, heat 940g (10mol) of chloroacetic acid (2) and 1.33kg of 30% sodium hydroxide solution (10 mol), react in boiling water bath for 1 hour with stirring. Concentrate under reduced pressure, filter out the precipitated sodium chloride in stages, wash the sodium chloride with a small amount of water, repeat this process several times, and filter out a total of 550-600g of sodium chloride. Finally, the water pump is depressurized and the oil bath is heated to 160°C. Cool to 100°C and filter to obtain a slurry liquid. Neutralize by heating sodium carbonate, leave overnight, and filter. Steam off the methanol, fractionate under reduced pressure, and collect the fractions at 65~85℃/6.7~8.0kPa. After adjusting the pH, filter and fractionate again to obtain 270g of product (1) with a yield of 30%. ^[1]
