| Introduction | 5, 5-dimethylhydantoin is an important organic synthesis intermediate with a wide range of uses, it is a heterocyclic compound with a certain rigid skeleton. A range of valuable derivatives can be prepared by substitution reactions. Such as: dibromohydantoin, dichlorohydantoin and other widely used in organic synthesis, medicine, plastics, food, cosmetics, pesticides and other production areas. |
| Application | 5, 5-dimethylhydantoin, also known as 5, 5-dimethylhydantoin, DMH, is a wide range of uses of organic synthesis intermediates, is a rigid heterocyclic compounds, can be prepared by substitution reaction of a series of valuable derivatives, such as: dibromohydantoin, dichlorohydantoin and other widely used in medicine, fine Chemicals in the production of pesticides, plastics and cosmetics. |
| preparation | a. Add 600-800 parts of ammonium bicarbonate and 500-700 parts of acetone cyanohydrin to water and stir to fully dissolve, sealed when heated to 10 ℃; B. 30-50 parts of ammonia gas is introduced into the material prepared by Step a, and heated slowly to 50-65 ℃ for 1-2 hours, and stirring; c, the material prepared by Step B is heated to 75~85 ℃, the air is drawn for 30~50 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature and filtered to obtain crude dimethyl hydantoin and mother liquor; d. 950~1150 parts of crude dimethyl hydantoin prepared by Step c is put into a mixture of 150~300 parts of water and 700~900 parts of mother liquor, after heating to 80~98 ° C., 3~8 parts of activated carbon is added, decolorization is carried out for 20~40 minutes, the activated carbon is removed by filtration, and then crystallization is cooled, centrifugal filtration and drying are carried out to obtain a dimethyl hydantoin finished product. |
| uses | for amino acid synthesis, but also as a special epoxy resin and water-soluble resin, fungicides, preservatives, etc. Its derivatives such as 1, 3-dichloro-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin can be used as chlorinating agent, Disinfection bactericide, 3-hydroxymethyl-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin is useful as a formaldehyde agent, a preservative, and the like. mainly used as disinfectant, epoxy resin and amino acid raw materials |
| production method | is obtained by reacting acetone cyanohydrin ([75-86-5]) with an aqueous ammonium carbonate solution at 50-80 °c. |
