Description

A kind of method of asymmetric synthesis levorotatory menthol
Technical field
The invention belongs to organic chemistry asymmetric synthesis technical field, be specifically related to a kind of method of synthesizing levorotatory menthol take citral as starting raw material through three-step reaction.
Background technology
Menthol (also claiming mentha camphor and Peppermint Oil) has special fragrance, pungent sense and cool feeling.As one of the most salable spices in the world, menthol is widely used in the aspects such as foodstuffs industry, daily fine chemistry industry and medical and health.
Menthol has 3 chiral centres, has 8 kinds of steric isomers, and wherein levorotatory menthol has very strong refrigerant effect with brisk sweet pungent odour; The dextrorotation menthol does not almost have refrigerant effect with pungent pungent odour.Because the using value of levorotatory menthol is higher, what exist on the market all is levorotatory menthol basically.It is widely used in cigarette, makeup, toothpaste, chewing gum, sweet food refreshment drink, medicine and the inuncts.
Menthol all extracts from plant mostly in history, and output is affected by season, cultivated area, natural disaster etc.Along with the development of society, natural menthol can not satisfy the growing consumers demand of people, and therefore, the study on the synthesis of carrying out menthol has higher researching value and economic outlook preferably.
Synthetic menthol method probably is divided into following three kinds: then (1) preparation racemization menthol splits; (2) obtain chiral source with the asymmetric synthesis technology, thereby make menthol; (3) utilize natural chiral precurser, obtain levorotatory menthol by simple conversion, such as obtaining levorotatory menthol with natural left-handed piperitone direct hydrogenation.
It below is the levorotatory menthol synthetic method of two kinds of reports.
Japan STOL company has developed industrialized asymmetric synthesis levorotatory menthol route (Tani, a K.; Yamagata, T.; Akutagawa, S.; Kumobayashi, H.; Taketomi, T.; Takaya, H.; Miyashita, A.; Noyori, R.; Otsuka, S.J.Am.Chem.Soc.1984,106,5208.).The first step is that myrcene and the reaction of diethyl amido lithium obtain N, N-diethyl geranyl amine.Crucial second step is N, and N-diethyl geranyl amine is at (S)-BINAP-Rh +Carry out asymmetric hydrogen migration under the type catalyst and obtain the dextrorotation geranial, obtain levorotatory menthol by hydrolysis, acid catalysis pass ring and hydrogenation.Concrete synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA00002636923300021
This route is the industrialized asymmetric synthesis levorotatory menthol of article one route, and the quality product of producing is higher; But wherein the asymmetric isomerization catalyst preparation condition of catalysis is harsh and recycle difficulty.
BASF Aktiengesellschaft has developed one take citral as the starting raw material synthetic route (Heydrich, G et al.US 2010/0249467 A1,2010.), and this route is successful suitability for industrialized production now.This synthetic route at first obtains the cis citral with the rectifying of citral cis-trans isomerism mixture, obtains the dextrorotation geranial through rhodium catalyst catalysis asymmetric hydrogenation again, finally makes levorotatory menthol by steps such as closing ring, hydrogenation.Concrete synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA00002636923300022
This synthetic route synthesis technique is simple, yet rectifying citral cis-trans isomerism mixture obtains cis-configuration production unit is had relatively high expectations, and the trans citral that obtains simultaneously is difficult to re-use.
2005, MacMillan reported a kind of with organic micromolecule catalyst and dihydropyridine compound catalysis α, the novel method of the hydrogen transfer reduction of beta-unsaturated aldehyde.In this hydrogen transfer reduction process, respectively with a kind of amine salt of imidazolone as chirality assistant agent and a kind of dihydropyridine compound as negative hydrogen source, negative hydrogen is optionally transferred in two keys of unsaturated aldehyde, thereby has been obtained the aldehyde (Quellet of saturated beta substitution, S, G.; Tuttle, J, B.; MacMillan, W, C.J.AM.Chem.Soc.2005,127,32).Synthetic method is as follows:
