Sodium squarate hexahydrate complex

Abstract

Disclosed is a sodium squarate hexahydrate complex of the structural formula (I). Its synthesis method includes the following steps. 0.6621 g of squaric acid, 2.6128 g of ammonium formate and 100 ml of anhydrous methanol are weighed and put into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, and heated and stirred to reflux for 48 h, then the reaction is stopped, subsequently the flask is added with 10 mL of a 1M HCl solution, and extracted with 3×15 mL of dichloromethane, and then a combined extraction solution is washed again with 15 mL of a 12M NaOH solution, and extracted again with 3×15 mL of dichloromethane. The extraction solution is subjected to rotary evaporation and separation through column chromatography to obtain a crystal complex; the use of this sodium squarate hexahydrate complex (I) is to use the sodium squarate hexahydrate complex (I) as a catalyst.
