Description

The process for catalytic synthesis of a kind of 3-methoxyl group-4-salicylic alcohol
Technical field
The present invention relates to the process for catalytic synthesis of a kind of 3-methoxyl group-4-salicylic alcohol (being commonly called as vanillic alcohol).More specifically, refer in particular to methyl catechol and formaldehyde method through hydroxyalkylation prepared in reaction 3-methoxyl group-4-salicylic alcohol.
Figure A200910046597D00031
Background technology
Calendar year 2001, B.P.Bandgar etc. reduce vanillin food grade,1000.000000ine mesh with the hydrogen exchange resin of sulfation boron (SBER) and obtain vanillic alcohol, this method temperature of reaction low (normal temperature), productive rate height (80%), but the reaction times reach 35 hours.Lei Shi in 2004 etc. are catalyzer with Ni, are that solvent can obtain 54% vanillic alcohol with the vanillin food grade,1000.000000ine mesh reduction with THF.Yuhan Zhou in 2008 etc. are with NaBH 4/ Me 2SO 4/ B (OMe) 3For reducing vanillinated, catalyzer obtains high yield vanillic alcohol (98%), only 1.5 hours reaction times.Above synthetic method all belongs to reduction method, and this method product is pure, convenient separation, and technology is simple, but vanillic alcohol major industry application is a synthesis of vanillin, so this method can only can not be adopted by suitability for industrialized production as a kind of laboratory synthetic method.
In the process of methyl catechol and the synthetic 3-methoxyl group of formaldehyde method-4-salicylic alcohol, because hydroxyl is the adjacency pair bit substituent, generating product not only has the 3-methoxyl group-4-salicylic alcohol of para-orientation, 3-methoxyl group-2-salicylic alcohol of also following the ortho position to replace simultaneously, therefore control the attack point of formaldehyde, improve the contraposition product, be one of focus of studying of scientific research personnel always.
The main method of present industrial synthesis of vanillin is the nitrosification method.The first step methyl catechol and formaldehyde (or urotropine) are that catalyst reaction gets vanillic alcohol with hydrochloric acid.Again by vanillic alcohol and NDMA (by N, N one xylidine and nitrite reaction make) oxidizing reaction and vanillin food grade,1000.000000ine mesh.In order to increase the yield of vanillin food grade,1000.000000ine mesh, in reaction process, make catalyzer with copper and cuprous chloride.But this method norm quota of consumption (in methyl catechol) can reach 1.32, and reaction efficiency is low, particularly environmental pollution is serious.
European patent EP 0485613A1 has described phenol, especially methyl catechol to hydroxymethylation, by methyl catechol and formaldehyde, in alcohol organic solvent, exist at sodium hydroxide and quaternary ammonium compound (as Tetramethylammonium hydroxide) and to react.But in reaction process, successively need two step underpressure distillation to remove unnecessary solvent, thereby cause operational path loaded down with trivial details.In addition, it is higher that this method also has temperature of reaction, the shortcoming that the reaction times is long.
U.S. Pat 005811587A has described the hydroxyalkylation method of carbocyclic ring aromatic oxide.Carbocyclic ring aromatic oxide and carbonyl compound react under there is situation in catalyzer, it is characterized in that hydroxyalkylation reaction is to carry out existing under the significant quantity zeolite situation.It is relatively stricter that but this method requires zeolite, must be the hydrophobic mordenite with high silicon aluminum ratio of macropore, and mordenite with high silicon aluminum ratio has certain degree of difficulty on synthetic technology, cause cost higher.Late nineteen eighties, Japan repeatedly delivers the selection synthetic article about p-Hydroxybenzylalcohol.Beta-cyclodextrin and the effect of derivative in this reaction thereof discussed in detail in article.This method is a raw material with phenol and formaldehyde, is catalyzer with sodium hydroxide and beta-cyclodextrin, reacts under aqueous conditions.But sodium hydroxide that this reaction needed is a large amount of and beta-cyclodextrin and speed of response are very slow, therefore are difficult to industrialization.
