Description

The preparation method of toluylic acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to the synthesis technical field of toluylic acid, particularly a kind of benzyl cyanide hydrolysis prepares the method for toluylic acid.
Background technology
Benzyl cyanide hydrolysis is to prepare toluylic acid method commonly used, its processing condition are simple relatively, easy and the easy control of operation, be that present domestic research at most also is the most ripe industrialized preparing process, hydrolysis process is divided into two kinds: with highly basic such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide benzyl cyanide is made sodium phenylacetate for first kind, decolouring back acidifying, crystallization get product; Second kind directly gets toluylic acid with acid hydrolysis, crystallization.Reaction equation is as follows:
1, basic hydrolysis
Figure 2013101375185100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
2, acid hydrolysis
1) sulphuric acid hydrolysis
2) hydrogenchloride adds the tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrolysis
3) concentrated hydrochloric acid and the hydrolysis of propionic acid mixture (concentrated hydrochloric acid: propionic acid=1:2)
Figure 2013101375185100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
Problem and shortcoming that above-mentioned two kinds of hydrolysis processs exist are:
1) alkali process hydrolysis had not only consumed alkali but also consumption acids, and Atom economy is poor, but also wants by-product ammonia and salt;
2) alkali process hydrolysis generates ammonia, takes organism out of when ammonia is overflowed, and contaminate environment adopts water to absorb or sour the absorption all can't directly be used because organism exceeds standard;
3) sodium phenylacetate solution needs decolouring, produces solid uselessly, and decolorization discharges foul smell, and operating environment is poor;
4) adopt sulphuric acid hydrolysis, the liquid carbonization coking that can induce reaction under the pyroreaction, the aftertreatment difficulty also influences outward appearance and the quality of product, produces that to contain the organism spent acid in a large number difficult;
5) adopt hydrogenchloride/tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrolysis, need to feed continuously hydrogen chloride gas, need the Separation and Recovery tetrahydrofuran (THF) after reaction finishes, operating process is loaded down with trivial details, and operating environment is relatively poor;
6) use propionic acid and the hydrolysis of concentrated hydrochloric acid mixture, consume lot of organic acids, reclaim difficulty, industrial value is little.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the invention provides a kind of preparation method of toluylic acid, this method can avoid alkali process hydrolysis to consume shortcomings high, that by-product is many, can avoid the easy carbonization coking of sulfuric acid process hydrolysis, aftertreatment complexity, difficult, the ropy shortcoming of product appearance of waste liquid again, and need not to add other organism except the benzene feedstock acetonitrile, consume lowly, aftertreatment is simple.
The preparation method of toluylic acid of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
1) benzyl cyanide is heated to 50 ~ 100 ℃, dripping hydrochloric acid or the benzyl cyanide of molten state dropped in the hydrochloric acid in the benzyl cyanide then, the mol ratio of hydrochloric acid and benzyl cyanide is 1.2 ~ 5:1, dropwised the back insulation reaction 1 ~ 5 hour, the mass content of benzyl cyanide was less than 5% o'clock termination reaction in the reaction system;
Its chemical equation is:
Figure 2013101375185100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
2) the underpressure distillation recycling step 1) reaction system in unreacted benzyl cyanide, the mass content of benzyl cyanide adds water then less than 0.2% in reaction system in reaction system, stir miscible, crystallisation by cooling then, suction filtration, the gained crystal washes with water, after the drying, obtain the toluylic acid product.
Further, the massfraction of described hydrochloric acid is 15% ~ 37%.
Further, described step 2) in, in the reaction system of step 1), add in the ammoniacal liquor and excessive hydrochloric acid earlier, unreacted benzyl cyanide in the reaction system is reclaimed in underpressure distillation again.
Further, described step 2) excessive hydrochloric acid in the reaction system in, first underpressure distillation recycling step 1) continues underpressure distillation again and reclaims unreacted benzyl cyanide in the reaction system.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
1) the present invention adopts hydrochloric acid direct hydrolysis benzyl cyanide to prepare the technology of toluylic acid, compare with concentrated hydrochloric acid mixture hydrolysis process with hydrogenchloride/tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrolysis or propionic acid, reactant species is few, need not to add other organism except the benzene feedstock acetonitrile, consume lowly, aftertreatment is simple;
2) compare with alkali process hydrolysis, only consume hydrochloric acid and generate ammonium chloride, Atom economy is good, and no ammonia or sodium salt produce, and have avoided follow-up a series of problem;
3) compare with sulphuric acid hydrolysis technology, can not produce the coking phenomenon, hydrolysis is thorough, and excessive hydrochloric acid is recyclable, has avoided producing the big waste acid water of intractability;
4) pilot process dispense with decoloration operation, good operational environment, product appearance and quality all meet the demands.
