Background technology
(E)-and the 2-hexenoic acid is commonly called as butylene fork acetic acid, has special grease fragrance, is the carboxylic-acid safe edible synthetic perfume that FDA announces, and FEMA number is 3169, also is that Food Additives Used in China is used hygienic standard GB2760
Allow the edible synthetic perfume of use in-86 appendix, the commodity English name of sale is trans-2-Hexenoic acid (anti--the 2-hexenoic acid), and its structural formula is following:
(E)-the 2-hexenoic acid can be used for the allotment of apple, banana, caramel type essence, can be used for having the spices preparation of food, beverage and the daily chemical products of fruital gas simultaneously.(E)-and the 2-hexenoic acid has sweet berry fragrance, and smell is lasting, is generally believed to be suitable for the allotment food flavour.In recent years, because fruital gas more and more receives people's favor, thereby market in great demand to (E)-2-hexenoic acid.(E)-the 2-hexenoic acid become the important a member in the synthetic perfume family.
(E)-2-hexenoic acid compound method of reported in literature is a lot; From at present existing reported in literature; Main through Perkin reaction (J.Chem.Soc.1877.31 388), halogenating reaction (Org.Syn.1973.53.123-7) and Knovenagel-Dobner reaction (Ber.1898.31.2596; Ann.1988.242,265) three kinds of methods are synthetic.Wherein halogenating reaction exists the shortcoming that raw material is not easy to obtain, productive rate is lower; Perkin reaction exists temperature of reaction height, the time is long and productive rate is low shortcoming, utilizes the method for synthetic (the E)-2-hexenoic acid of Perkin reaction to be eliminated; Knovenagel-Dobner reactive applications scope is wide; Aliphatics and aromatic aldehyde ketone all are suitable for; Can make catalyzer with weak base or its salt, avoid self condensation of aldehyde ketone, simple to operate; Productive rate is higher than the Perkin reaction, and nearly all producer utilizes synthetic (the E)-2-hexenoic acid of Knovenagel-Dobner reaction.But with regard to the synthetic technology of (E)-2-hexenoic acid; How to reduce polymerization ofathe reactants, improve product yield, simplify synthesis technique; Abandon the use of toxic reagent benzene in the Knovenagel-Dobner method or pyridine, exploitation (E)-2-hexenoic acid new cleanproduction process has most important theories research and practical application meaning.

Catalyzer used in the reaction is: TBAB (Tetrabutyl amonium bromide), TEBA (triethyl benzyl ammonia chloride), the two octadecyl Dimethyl Ammonium of bromination, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium chloride or benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride;
Alkali used in the reaction is: sodium hydroxide, Pottasium Hydroxide or calcium hydroxide;
Acid used in the reaction is: hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid;
Solvent for use is in the reaction: water.
Beneficial effect: the method that the invention provides a kind of synthetic (E)-2-hexenoic acid.This method is raw material with the ethyl malonate, synthesizes (E)-2-hexenoic acid at aqueous phase through Knovenagel reaction, hydrolysis, decarboxylation.To severe reaction conditions, problems such as side reaction is serious, productive rate is low, toxic reagent use in the compound method of existing (E)-2-hexenoic acid; Make water do reaction medium; Realize free of contamination clean environment firendly production, raw material is easy to get and is cheap, and reaction conditions is gentle; Simple to operate, be easy to industriallization.This compound method side reaction is few, and productive rate is up to 75-85%.
