The invention discloses a method for synthesizing
methoxyamine hydrochloride, which comprises the following steps of: adding
sodium nitrite into
acetylacetone under an acidic condition to synthesize 2, 3, 4-pentanetrione
oxime; adjusting the reaction liquid to be alkaline, and adding a
phase transfer catalyst and a
methylation reagent to synthesize 3-(O-methyl
oxime)-2, 3, 4-pentanetrione; and adjusting the reaction liquid to be strongly acidic, hydrolyzing, and rectifying to recover
pentane-2, 3, 4-
triketone, thereby obtaining the
methoxyamine hydrochloride. According to the method,
acetylacetone is adopted as a synthesis
raw material, only an
organic solvent is used for extracting an
intermediate product before rectification, inorganic salt in reaction liquid is separated, the problem of
recovery of difficult-to-recover substances such as ethyl
alcohol and
acetic acid is solved, the synthesis
route is simple, operation is easy and convenient, aftertreatment is convenient, few
hazardous waste is generated,
investment cost is low, and labor cost and
energy consumption are reduced; meanwhile, side reactions in the
hydrolysis process can be reduced, and the yield of the product is improved.
