Glyoxylic acid Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesColorless clear liquid.
UsesGlyoxalic acid can be used in the synthesis of a variety of reactions.Glyoxylic acid is used in Hopkins Cole reaction, which is used in the detection of tryptophan in proteins. It reacts with phenol to get 4-hydroxymandelic acid, which on further reaction with ammonia gives hydroxyphenylglycine, as a precursor to the drug amoxicillin. It is also used as a starting material for the preparation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, which is used to get atenolol.
DefinitionChEBI: A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid bearing an oxo group at the alpha carbon atom.
General DescriptionSupplied as a 50% aqueous solution.
Health HazardContact will cause severe eye and skin burns. Vapor exposure may cause eye and skin irritation.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNonflammable
Biological Activitynsc 27785 is an organic compound that is both an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid.
SynthesisAdd to 3500ml reactor equipped with reflux condenser, stirrer and thermometer300ml (3.55mol) of 50% glyoxal solution, stir and cool, control the temperature to 7±2,Slowly drip 300ml (3.55mol) of 35% hydrogen peroxide solution at the same time within 3 hours,280ml (0.355mol) of 17% ferrous sulfate solution and 120ml (0.75mol) of 15% aqueous ammonia solution, keep at 8±2, react for 3 hours, and let stand overnight, The reaction liquid was filtered to remove the solid by-products, and 350ml of water-carrying toluene was added to the reaction mother liquid.Heat to reflux, remove water, and distill toluene with water-carrying agent to obtain oxidation product.Add 120ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and 700ml of absolute ethanol to the oxidation products.Esterification reaction at 140°C for 3 hours, then distillation under reduced pressure, at 0.02Mpa,The esterification product was collected at 185°C.Add 120ml of 18% sulfuric acid to the esterified product and heat under stirring.The hydrolysis reaction is carried out at 95-98 for 2 hours; the hydrolysis liquid is cooled to room temperature,The precipitated white solid product was filtered, washed 4 times with 120ml of toluene each time, and dried.Obtain 180 g of the target product glyoxylic acid with a purity of 99.5% (HPLC) and a yield of 88%.Melting point is 98.1-98.6.
