The invention discloses a preparation method, product and application of 3-methyl-1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ketone, which is characterized in that it is carried out according to the following steps: acetohydroxamic acid, dimethyl carbonate and catalyst into the reaction flask, and then heated to 110°C, and the by-product methanol was fractionated while reacting. After 4 hours of reaction, the reaction liquid was subjected to vacuum distillation, and the fraction at 89°C / 10mmHg was collected to obtain 3-methyl ‑1,4,2‑Dioxazol‑5‑one. The present invention uses the transesterification method to synthesize 3-methyl-1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ketone, with few by-products, and the catalyst can be separated by filtration, which greatly reduces the later purification steps, thereby easily obtaining high-purity products .
