Description

The method of the synthetic left-handed menthol of a kind of chirality
Technical field
The invention belongs to organic chemistry chirality synthesis technical field, being specifically related to a kind of is the method for raw material through the synthetic left-handed menthol of two-step reaction chirality with the dextrorotation pulegone.
Background technology
Menthol (also claiming mentha camphor and Peppermint Oil) has special fragrance, pungent sense and cool sense, as one of the most salable spices in the world, is widely used in aspects such as foodstuffs industry, daily fine chemistry industry and medical and health.Perfuming as toothpaste, food, tobacco, wine, refreshment drink, makeup, perfumed soap; In pharmaceutically being widely used in wind dispelling, anticorrosion, anti-inflammatory, analgesia, antipruritic, medicine such as be good for the stomach.Left-handed menthol has three chiral centres, therefore, has 8 kinds of steric isomers, but in these 8 kinds of steric isomers, has only left-handed menthol (l-menthol) to have higher economic value.It has brisk sweet pungent odour, very strong refrigerant effect is arranged, cooling effect mechanism is the cold receptor on the skin irritation but does not cause actual temperature change, and other isomer have bigger influence to the cooling effect of left-handed menthol, the content purity of left-handed menthol has determined the quality of product.Present global menthol annual production estimates more than 19000 tons, and what exist on the market all is left-handed menthol basically.
Menthol is all from plant extract in history, and it is bigger that output is influenced by seasonal variation, cultivated area, bad farming etc., and main producing region the nations of China and India also is difficult to provide stable product to be supplied with, and the price volalility amplitude that causes is very big.And the plantation amount of natural peppermint also is difficult to satisfy the market requirement that enlarges day by day, and insufficient section then need synthesize menthol to be filled up.Synthetic menthol mouthfeel is stable, and natural menthol and synthetic menthol can exchange fully on the sense organ, and synthetic menthol does not contain the impurity that exists in the natural menthol, so its mouthfeel good taste, price is relatively cheap in addition, and special advantages is arranged, and is easier to be accepted by producer.
When falling sharply and the influence of factor such as labor cost rising of preceding destruction because of physical environment, cultivated area, the output of natural menthol is more and more lower, and the market requirement increases day by day in addition, has aggravated the rise of menthol price jointly.Therefore the synthetic menthol economic outlook of industry is wide, room for promotion is big.
The synthetic method of menthol can be divided into two kinds: (1) preparation racemization menthol, carry out chiral separation then and make left-handed menthol; (2) utilize the asymmetric synthesis technology, do not need fractionation directly to obtain left-handed menthol.
The shortcoming of first method is, splitting step is numerous and diverse, and productive rate is generally not high.The sixties in last century, the route of He Ke man of great strength company (Hercules) research and development of the U.S. is exactly through synthesizing left-handed menthol (Acharya, S.P. with Split Method; Brown, H.C.J.Am.Chem.Soc.1967,89,1925.Leffingwell, J.C.﹠amp; R.E.Shackelford, Laevo-Menthol syntheses and organoleptic properties, Cosmeticsand Perfumery, 1974,89 (6), 69-89), but fail to realize suitability for industrialized production so far.But the fragrant company of German moral relies on its superb hydrogenation technology and isomerization reformation technology (Kuhn, W.; Funk, H.; Senft, G.; Koerber, K.A.DE 10239274,2002[Chem.Abstr.2002,140,217823] .), with left-handed menthol success industrialization.The fragrant company of nearest German moral has invented the lipase disassemble technique a kind of, and the left-handed menthol ee value that obtains is near 100%, but cost is too high and fail industrial applications (Gatfield, I.; Hilmer, E.; Bornscheuer, U.; Schmidt, R.; Vorlova, S.EP 1223223,2002[Chem.Abstr.2002,137,78009] .).
Japan high sand company is that starting raw material synthesizes the left-handed menthol of preparation through five steps with the myrcene, and its core reaction is chirality rhodium catalyst [Rh ((S)-BINAP) 2] ClO 4(Synthesis 1996,665 for S.Otsuka, K.Tani in the asymmetric hydrogen migration reaction of catalysis allyl amine; EP 0068506,1982).Japan high sand company is that first utilizes the company of the synthetic left-handed menthol of asymmetric synthesis technology in the world.
Peppermint in southern Europe and the plantation of north African wide range of commercial, its main moiety pulegone (dextrorotation pulegone, pulegone, also claim pulegone), the cheaper raw material that can be used as the synthetic left-handed menthol of commercial chirality of price, the Bordas of Spain company is that starting raw material prepares left-handed menthol (Leffingwell, J.C.﹠amp through two step hydrogenations with it; R.E.Shackelford, Laevo-Menthol syntheses and organolepticproperties, Cosmetics and Perfumery, 89 (6), 69-89,1974), reaction formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0000033717250000021
d-pulegone d-isomenthone l-methone l-menthol
The route of this method is: at first the dextrorotation pulegone uses trichlorine silicon hydrogen at HMPA catalytic hydrogenation (Sugiura, M. down at 0 ℃; Sato, N.; Kotani, S.; Nakajima, M.Chem.Commun.2008,4309) obtain the mixture of left-handed piperitone, d-isomenthone and l-piperitone, productive rate 84% obtains the l-piperitone through fractionation by distillation; Last catalytic hydrogenation l-piperitone makes the l-menthol.But this route selection is bad, complex process is harsh, and overall yield is not high.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide the method for the synthetic left-handed menthol of a kind of chirality, this method synthesis technique is simple, productive rate is high, selectivity good, the high recovery of catalyst activity is simple, is fit to the left-handed menthol of large-scale commercial production.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the method of the synthetic left-handed menthol of a kind of chirality provided by the invention is characterized in that, is starting raw material with the dextrorotation pulegone, earlier generate left-handed piperitone, again through the synthetic left-handed menthol of the left-handed piperitone of chirality ruthenium catalyst catalytic hydrogenation through chirality rhodium catalyst catalytic hydrogenation.Specifically comprise following two steps:
Step 1: selective hydration: dextrorotation pulegone selective hydration under the chirality rhodium catalyst generates left-handed piperitone, and reaction formula is as follows:
