PRODUCTION METHOD of SODIUM THIOGLYCOLATE:
cool the previously filtered thioglycolic acid to 5 ℃, slowly add sodium hydroxide solution of 40% with temperature below 5 ℃ while stirring.
when the temperature reaches 35 ℃, hydrogen sulfide gas starts to escape.
when the solution is pink and stable crystals are precipitated, stop adding sodium hydroxide: cool to room temperature, filter, the crystallization is soaked in ethanol, then washed until colorless, and dried below 80°C to obtain the finished product.


PREPARATION METHOD of SODIUM THIOGLYCOLATE:
Add a certain amount of water to a 1000mL beaker, add solid soda ash at room temperature, stir for 30 minutes to fully dissolve it, and then add chloroacetic acid for neutralization.

Chloroacetic acid will undergo hydrolysis reaction to produce hydroxyl carboxylic acid) and prevent foam overflow during the reaction, the addition rate of chloroacetic acid is slow, and its dosage depends on the pH value of the solution;
After the solution becomes clear, pour it into a three-port flask and put it into an electric heating water bath for heating reaction.

When it reaches a certain temperature, add sodium thiosulfate crystal, stir and heat up to 85℃, and react at this temperature for 40 minutes to obtain salt.
After the temperature continues to rise to 95℃, the strong alkali thioglycolating agent solution is added, the reaction is about 40min, the heating and stirring are stopped, the natural cooling is done, and the transparent sodium thioglycolate product can be obtained after purification.

Add 185g sodium chloroacetate,29g isopropyl xanthoxanthate and appropriate amount of water into a 500ml four-mouth flask, react at 75℃ for 2h, then drop to room temperature, and slowly add 5% excess monoethylamine into the four-mouth flask with stirring.
After the addition, the temperature is raised to 70℃ and the lh is kept warm.

At this time, the reaction system changes from transparent to yellow cloudy, and finally becomes brown cloudy liquid.
Stop stirring, stand stratification, the upper layer is yellow transparent liquid, which is ethylthiamine vinegar, said the mass is 77.1g, the purity is greater than 96%, the isopropyl alcohol mass fraction is less than 3.0%;
