A kind of synthetic method of 4-butoxy phenol
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of chemical synthesis, be specifically related to the synthetic method of a kind of 4-butoxy phenol.
Background technology
4-butoxy phenol, molecular formula C10H14O2, molecular weight 166.2;Chemical formula, it is synthesis local
The intermediate of anesthetics pramocaine.Mostly the synthetic method of existing document report 4-butoxy phenol is with hydroquinone and halo
Butane reacts in the presence of acid binding agent, and chemical formula is as follows:
。
Although the yield of existing document report is higher, but in the feelings of the special installation not using costliness in large-scale production
Under condition, the actual recovery of 4-butoxy phenol is difficult to more than 60%.This is due to two hydroxyl reaction poor selectivity of hydroquinone,
Can generate two hydroxyls in course of reaction and all form the by-product of ether, chemical formula is,
Quite a few hydroquinone generates by-product and is consumed, and also have impact on product quality while reducing yield;It is thus desirable to
Find the higher synthetic method generated with minimizing by-product of a kind of yield.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve above-mentioned technical problem, the invention provides the synthetic method of a kind of 4-butoxy phenol, first will be to benzene
In two hydroxyls of diphenol one protects with acetyl group, utilizes what ester exchange reaction made hydroquinone almost equivalent to be converted into single hydroxyl
Base protection product, then reacts with butyl halide and makes unprotected hydroxyl become ether, then hydrolysis removes acetyl group protection and obtained height
Yield and high-quality 4-butoxy phenol.The method controls simple, stable yield, and synthetic product is the simplest
Crystallization purity just reaches more than 98%.
The present invention is to be realized by following technical scheme:
The synthetic method of a kind of 4-butoxy phenol, first reacts hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride, then in the absence of a solvent
React hydrolysis again with butyl bromide and generate 4-butoxy phenol.
Chemical formula is:
The mol ratio of hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride is 1:0.9-1.
Hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride react particularly as follows: chloroacetic chloride heats to 50 ~ 60 DEG C in the absence of a solvent,
Add hydroquinone, be gradually heating to 100 DEG C, and be incubated 3h at 100 ~ 110 DEG C, cool to 80-90 DEG C.
After hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride react in the absence of a solvent, add organic solvent, add carbonate as tiing up
Acid agent, to be back to raw material reaction complete with butyl bromide.Carbonate is the ratio of sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, carbonate and hydroquinone
Example is 0.7 ~ 1.5.
Hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride are reacted in the absence of a solvent, after then reacting with butyl bromide, is filtered to remove
Inorganic salt, adds methanol and the aqueous solution of alkali or ethanol and the aqueous hydrolysis of alkali after recycling design, water consumption is hydroquinone
3 ~ 4 times of weight.
Hydroquinone and chloroacetic chloride are reacted in the absence of a solvent, then reacts with butyl bromide after terminating, filter
Removing inorganic salt, add the aqueous hydrolysis of alkali, water consumption is 3 ~ 4 times of hydroquinone weight.
Adding acid after having hydrolyzed to neutralize, cooling crystallize obtains 4-butoxy phenol, and acid is hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitre
Any in acid, formic acid, acetic acid.
Alkali is at least one in sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, Lithium hydrate, calcium hydroxide.
The beneficial effects of the present invention is: in two hydroxyls of hydroquinone is first protected by the present invention with acetyl group,
Utilize ester exchange reaction to make the monohydroxy that is converted into of hydroquinone almost equivalent protect product, then react with butyl halide and make not
The hydroxyl of protection becomes ether, then hydrolysis removes acetyl group protection and obtained the 4-butoxy phenol of high yield.The method controls simple,
Stable yield, and synthetic product simple crystallization purity in aqueous just reaches more than 98%.

Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present invention is further described, in order to those skilled in the art knows more about
The present invention, but and it is not so limited the present invention.
Embodiment 1
Chloroacetic chloride 39.2Kg(499.4mol) put into enamel reaction still heat to 50 ~ 60 DEG C, add hydroquinone 55Kg
(500mol), gradually heat up and make hydrogen chloride gas stably discharge, be finally warming up to 100 DEG C, and be incubated 3h at 100 ~ 110 DEG C.Fall
Temperature, to 80 DEG C, adds 71.9Kg(525mol) n-butyl bromide, continues to be cooled to 50 DEG C and adds 300Kg acetone, be cooled to room temperature and add
103.7Kg(750.4mol) potassium carbonate, is warming up to be back to the monitoring of efficient liquid phase and determines fall after the reaction completely of acetyl hydroquinone
Temperature, filters, and filtrate adds 22.4Kg(560mol) alkali liquor backflow 5h that sodium hydroxide and 165Kg water are made, add 6Kg hydrochloric acid
Rear recovery acetone, under nitrogen protection, gradually cooling separates out crystallization, sucking filtration, washing, and solid is dried and obtained off-white color crystallization
