BMK glycidate (sodium salt) synthesis from benzaldehyde

[haze2000]

Jungle method ( HDPE Barrels) wont work with this procedure because of water traces?

 

[G.Patton]

Probably yes. I'm not sure about what condition are you talking about.

 

[G.Patton]

What? What do u mean? HDPE is plastic. How it can be hygroscopic?

Is their any substitute? Of Methyl 2-chloropropionate?

 

[virus0815]

can Methyl 2-chloropropionate be replaced?

 

[G.Patton]

Yes, by ethyl 2-chloropropionate, but this reaction is longer.

 

[virus0815]

hey,thanks a lot for the answer.
even though the reaction with ethyl 2-chloropropionate takes longer,at least ethyl 2-chloropropionate can be obtained on the bbgate forum,so thats the one i am going to use
how much ethyl 2-chloropropionate should i use? also 350 g?how much longer would the reaction approximately take?

 

[G.Patton]

hi, same molar equivalent.
Just use exactly EtONa on this stage. Other is the same.
8. When RM is cooled down to 0°С inside the reactor, dry sodium ethylate 200 g (EtONa) addition is started.

Can HDPE Barrel (200L) be used for this reaction?
