Abstract
Alcohols containing 1-5 carbons are made anhydrous by (a) dissolving sodium or potassium in a water-alkanol mixture, at least two atomic proportions of sodium or potassium being used for each molecular proportion of water present; (b) passing sulphur dioxide, sodium metabisulphite or potassium bisulphite into the resulting solution, at least one molecular proportion of sulphur dioxide or half a molecular proportion of metabisulphite being used for each molecular proportion of water present in the mixture; and (c) continuing the reaction at boiling temperature under reflux until the precipitation of the alkali metal sulphite is complete and the alkanol is substantially anhydrous. Examples describe the preparation of anhydrous methyl, ethyl, isoamyl and isopropyl alcohols. The process is stated to be suitable for the preparation of anhydrous n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert.-butyl, n-amyl, sec-amyl, and tert.-amyl alcohols.
