Properties and stability
Avoid contact with strong oxidants and strong alkali.
Storage method
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The packaging is sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.
Synthesis method
1. Obtained from dipropylmalonic acid through elimination and decarboxylation. Put dipropylmalonic acid into the reaction pot and heat it to 180°C. The reactants gradually melt and release a large amount of carbon dioxide gas. After the elimination reaction is completed, distill under reduced pressure and collect the 112-114°C (0.93-1.06kPa) fraction, which is 2-propylpentanoic acid, with a yield of 86%.
2. Preparation method:
Dipropylmalonic acid (3): In a reaction bottle equipped with a stirrer and reflux condenser, add dipropylmalonic acid Diethyl ester (2) 122g (0.5mol), ethanol 220mL, 4% potassium hydroxide 400g, stir and reflux for 4 hours. The ethanol was distilled off under reduced pressure. Cool to room temperature, slowly add concentrated hydrochloric acid, adjust to pH 1, and precipitate solid. Cool, filter, wash with water and dry to obtain 75.0g of yellow crystals of dipropylmalonic acid (3), yield 80%, mp. 155~158°C. 2-Propylvaleric acid (1): Add 75.0g (0.4mol) of dipropylmalonic acid (3) into the reaction bottle, slowly heat the oil bath to 180°C, the reactant gradually melts, and a large amount of carbon dioxide gas is released. , until no carbon dioxide gas escapes. Distill under reduced pressure and collect the fractions at 120~123℃/1.86kPa to obtain light yellow 2-n-propyl acid ① (1) 49.5, yield 86%, nD141.4252. Note: ① It can also be prepared by reacting ethyl acetoacetate with n-bromopropane and then performing alkaline hydrolysis. [1]
