Description

Cheap eco-friendly D, the preparation method of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid
Technical field
The present invention is directed to chemical field, relate to a kind of eco-friendly D of cheapness, the preparation method of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid.
Background technology
Methionine hydroxy analog (MHA) claim again D, and L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid is a kind of methionine additive.MHA and salt thereof have replaced methionine(Met) for a long time, are widely used in animal-feed, are mainly used in ruminating animal, for broiler chicken and aquatic animal, have also obtained good effect.Compare with methionine(Met), MHA is in a liquid state, and is convenient to feed-grain maker's use.
D, when L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid is mainly used with water-based concentrated solution, except containing monomer whose, also has a certain amount of oligomer, is mainly dimer and tripolymer.In commercially available formulation, D, L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid total content is 88%~90%(weight) product in, oligomer total amount only can be controlled at 20%(weight) in.These oligomers exist mainly with the form of ester or acid anhydrides, and weak effect when further other products are prepared in processing, affects end product quality.As while preparing HMBC, oligomer is difficult to and calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide reaction, is finally adsorbed on product surface, the dry difficulty of product, and then affect product quality.
In most of patents and bibliographical information, D, the raw material of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid is all to adopt through refining methylthiopropionaldehyde to react with High Purity Hydrogen cyanic acid, preparation 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile, 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile is hydrolyzed preparation D, L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid again.Mainly contain following three processes:
(1) refining 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde (more than 99%) reacts with High Purity Hydrogen cyanic acid (more than 99%) and generates 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile, claims again MMP-cyanalcohol or MMP-CN, and reaction formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0000417640720000011
(2) the 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile obtaining and excessive mineral acid generation hydration reaction, generate intermediate 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyramide, claims again MHA-acid amides, and reaction formula is as follows:
(3) 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyramide is added to a certain amount of water and be hydrolyzed again generation D, L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid, reaction formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0000417640720000022
From above-mentioned reaction, 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile is to produce D, the important intermediate of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid, and its yield size and cost drop into, the D to final production, quality and the cost of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid have material impact.
In theory, the preparation of 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile is known, mainly comprises following two kinds of modes:
(1) methylthiopropionaldehyde reacts and makes with prussic acid under the catalysis of alkali;
(2) methylthiopropionaldehyde reacts and makes with alkali metal cyanide under sodium bisulfite effect.
The disclosed method of US5756803 is a kind of concrete grammar that mode (1) is prepared 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile.The method is used the damping fluid of citric acid and sodium hydroxide formation as catalyzer, and the pH of solution is controlled at 4 left and right, and catalysis methylthiopropionaldehyde reacts with prussic acid, obtains 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile.Wherein, prussic acid excessive 2%~5%.The use of buffered soln and excessive prussic acid are conducive to the long-term preservation of product 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile.The 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile obtaining obtains MHA by mineral acid hydrolysis, or reacts with bicarbonate of ammonia, generates 5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)-glycolylurea, salt of wormwood hydrolysis, carbonic acid gas neutralization obtains D, L-Methionine.
The disclosed method of US2745745 is a kind of concrete grammar that mode (2) is prepared 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile.The 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile obtaining, needs after reaction finishes with organic solvent-benzene extraction, obtains containing 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile benzole soln, dry, steaming removes organic solvent-benzene, obtain 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile, then with inorganic acid reaction, obtain MHA.
Obviously, in these bibliographical informations, no matter take which kind of mode to synthesize 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile, in order to obtain high yield, all need purer prussic acid, and prussic acid is excessive often, the rectifying purifying that prussic acid is extra and excessive use all can cause the increase of cost, the increase of this cost, particularly in technical scale, will cause huge financial loss.Moreover method as disclosed in US2745745, under unsuitable catalyzer is used, may cause the formation of cyaniding byproduct in process thing, and then be that subsequent purification and downstream production make troubles.
On the other hand, how to the D preparing, L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid carries out separation and purification, to reduce energy consumption, to simplify the operation, is also to reduce D, the major way of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid production cost.
Patent CN1069311C discloses a kind of preparation method of MHA, and it is by the method for solid/liquid separation, and liquid methionine expends greatly, the reluctant shortcoming of waste material to have overcome that liquid-liquid extraction, solid-liquid were separated in the past.The technical scheme that the method adopts is: after the hydrolysis of 2-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile, add ammonia or ammonia neutralization, mixture is through evaporation, until seldom moisture or anhydrous existence, then by acetone treatment the residuum containing MHA and ammonium sulfate, obtain suspension, in suspension, isolate solids component thus, obtain the acetone soln that contains MHA, then, by removing in the solution of the self-contained liquid methionine of acetone, obtain liquid methionine.There is following shortcoming in this technical scheme: steams the power consumption of water process greatly; After water steams and removes, MHA and ammonium sulfate are very sticky, can be bonded on the wall of reactor, cause the heat transfer of system and mass transfer inhomogeneous; Because acetone and water dissolve each other, more difficult with the acetone purification ratio of water, recover acetone utilization needs rectifying, increases the input of equipment.
For these reasons and prior art, still need further D, the preparation method of L-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid improves, to reduce production costs, to simplify the operation.
