Synthesis method

1. It is produced by the esterification of maleic anhydride and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid; it can also be obtained by exchange conversion using cation exchange resin as a catalyst. The content of diethyl maleate in industrial products is ≥98%, and each ton of product consumes 585kg of maleic anhydride (95%) and 604kg of ethanol (95%).

2. Its preparation method is mainly prepared by esterification of maleic anhydride and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. This process includes two types: normal pressure phenyl esterification and negative pressure phenyl-free esterification.
(1) Esterification of benzene under normal pressure
Add a certain amount of benzene and ethanol into the esterification reaction pot, add maleic anhydride, add concentrated sulfuric acid dropwise under stirring, and heat with jacketed steam , causing the reactants to undergo esterification reaction at about 75°C. The generated water, benzene, and ethanol are removed through three-way azeotropic distillation, and the benzene and ethanol liquids in the upper layer are refluxed into the reaction pot. About 13 to 14 hours later, when the temperature at the top of the distillation tower rises to 68.2°C and the water level in the lower layer of the separator no longer rises, it indicates that all the water in the reaction pot has been evaporated and the esterification reaction is completed. Stop reflux, continue distillation to 95-100°C, and steam out benzene and ethanol. Cool to about 50°C, neutralize with 5% sodium carbonate aqueous solution, wash with water and remove residual benzene and ethanol in a vacuum to obtain the product diethyl maleate.
(2) Negative pressure phenyl-free esterification
Maleic anhydride and ethanol are esterified under the action of sulfuric acid, and the ethanol and the water generated by the reaction are taken out in a gaseous state under a certain vacuum and temperature. The ethanol is then separated through a fractionation tower and refluxed for esterification to complete the reaction. This method can shorten the reaction cycle, improve yield and product quality, and improve the operating environment. Most domestic production plants use this method.
In addition, cation exchange resin can also be used as a catalyst for exchange conversion to produce diethyl maleate.

Refining method: wash with dilute potassium carbonate solution, dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate or sodium sulfate, and then distill under reduced pressure.

Purpose

Diethyl maleate is a polymer compound monomer and an intermediate for pesticides, medicines, spices, and water quality stabilizers (organic polycarboxylic acid phosphonic acid compounds). Mainly used in the production of organophosphorus pesticide malathion (marathion). Used as polymer monomer and plasticizer for synthetic resin. Also used as pesticides, fungicides, anti-rust additives, etc.
