The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis and particularly relates to a method for preparing
potassium oxonate, comprising the following steps: dissolving
potassium hydroxide in water, clarifying and then cooling to 0-5 DEG C, adding
potassium iodide, adding
allantoin in batch, stirring for dissolving, dropwise adding
bromine at a controlled temperature of 0-5 DEG C for 7-11 h, stirring at 0-5 DEG C for 1 after dropwise adding, heating to 20-25 DEG C and reacting for 18-22 h, and detecting
allantoin being <0.6% through HPLC (
high performance liquid chromatography), cooling to 0-5 DEG C, dropwise adding
acetic acid to adjust pH to 5, filtering, washing with water, washing with
ethanol, and
drying to obtain the
potassium oxonate. The method has good reaction effect, high product yield and low cost, is simple to perform and is particularly applicable to industrial application.
