Description

Method for preparing citral
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing citral. Cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether is used as a raw material to carry out Claisen rearrangement reaction to obtain 2,4, 4-trimethyl-3-formyl-1, 5-hexadiene, and then Cope rearrangement is carried out to obtain citral (3, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadiene-1-aldehyde).
Background
Citral is not only a commonly used fragrance product per se, but also as a raw material for a variety of fine chemicals. The downstream products include vitamins, valuable flavors, etc. U.S. Pat. No. 4,88636 discloses a process for preparing cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether as an intermediate product of citral, which comprises thermally cracking prenyl alcohol to obtain prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether and prenol, and continuously distilling off prenol to obtain cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether. The cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether is subjected to rearrangement reaction to prepare citral. However, cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether is easy to generate polymerization reaction at higher temperature, and experiments prove that the byproduct isopentenol can generate condensation reaction with cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether Claisen rearrangement reaction products 2,4, 4-trimethyl-3-formyl-1, 5-hexadiene and citral, so that the final yield is influenced.
Patent publication WO2008037693 describes optimization of citral production by simultaneously distilling off prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether and prenol, which are products after cracking cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether, to shorten the heating time of cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether, and then separating the two by rectification, but cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether in actual production usually contains a part of prenol which is not separated. And then, taking cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether as a raw material to obtain citral through two-step rearrangement reaction. However, the method still has the following defects: 1. the rearrangement process is violent in heat release, reaction heat is difficult to remove by a common reactor, and safety accidents are easy to occur in the actual production process. 2. When the system contains alcohols, significant side reactions occur. The reaction is generally carried out at the temperature of more than 150 ℃, the reaction time is generally 20-40 min, the selectivity is 90% -97%, and the longer the reaction time is, the lower the product selectivity is.
Therefore, a new method for preparing citral is required to improve the selectivity and reaction rate of the product.
Disclosure of Invention
The patent aims to provide a method for preparing citral, which has high selectivity and high reaction rate.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a method for preparing citral uses cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether as a raw material to obtain 2,4, 4-trimethyl-3-formyl-1, 5-hexadiene through a Claisen rearrangement reaction in the presence of an inhibitor, and then performs a Cope rearrangement reaction to obtain citral (3, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadiene-1-aldehyde). Cis/trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether refers to cis-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether and trans-prenyl-3-methyl-butadiene ether.
In the present invention, the inhibitor is an ester, particularly a hindered alcohol-derived ester, preferably a tert-butanol-derived ester and/or a trityl alcohol-derived ester, more preferably one or more of tert-butyl formate, tert-butyl acetate, tert-butyl isoamylene, trityl formate, trityl acetate and trityl isoamylene, and still more preferably tert-butyl formate and/or trityl formate. The inhibitor is used in an amount of 0.02 to 10mol%, preferably 0.5 to 5mo1 to 1%, based on the molar amount of the starting material to be rearranged.
In the present invention, the main side reaction is due to the presence of a small amount of alcohol (mainly prenol) in the reaction raw materials, in an amount of 0.1wt% to 20wt%, based on the total weight of the reaction raw materials. Alcohols react with raw materials or intermediate products to generate hemiacetals, acetals and other by-products, and in addition, because the raw material molecules have a plurality of double bonds, polymerization of the double bonds at high temperature is also one of the side reactions. The esters have the effect of inhibiting side reactions because the esters can perform transesterification with alcohols to generate new alcohols with higher steric hindrance, so that the side reactions are difficult to occur. In addition, the ester also reduces the concentration of carbon free radicals, carbon positive ions and the like in the system, and slows down the occurrence of polymerization reaction to a certain extent. The selectivity of the final product is obviously improved by selecting the esters which are optimized in the invention, the highest selectivity can reach 99%, and the reaction is mild and easy to control.
As a preferable technical scheme, the method for preparing the citral by using the microreactor and the micro heat exchanger system or the micro heat exchanger system strengthens heat and mass transfer by using the microreactor and the micro heat exchanger system and adds (side reaction) inhibitor to enable cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether to generate Claisen rearrangement and Cope rearrangement, so that the citral is quickly and highly selectively obtained.
Compared with the traditional reactor, the micro-reactor and the micro-heat exchanger system or the micro-heat exchanger system adopted by the invention have the advantages that the channel sizes of the micro-reactor and the micro-heat exchanger are in the micrometer to millimeter level, and the micro-reactor and the micro-heat exchanger have larger specific surface areas and smaller volumes. On the premise of ensuring better mixing effect, the larger specific surface area ensures better heat transfer effect; the smaller volume makes the reaction liquid in the equipment small, thereby reducing the accident risk.
In the invention, the micro-reactor and micro-heat exchanger system consists of a feeding pump, a preheating pipeline, a micro-reactor, a micro-heat exchanger and a time delay pipeline, and the micro-heat exchanger system consists of a feeding pump, a preheating pipeline, a micro-heat exchanger and a time delay pipeline. The reaction process is as follows: the raw material enters a preheating pipeline through a feeding pump, preheated raw material liquid and an inhibitor are simultaneously and respectively pumped into the microreactor, and the raw material liquid and the inhibitor are fully mixed in the microreactor and then stay for a short time and then enter the micro-heat exchanger, or preheated mixed liquid directly enters the micro-heat exchanger. The micro heat exchanger removes most of reaction heat and then enters a delay pipeline section, and after the delay pipeline section keeps a certain temperature and residence time, reaction liquid is decompressed and cooled by a decompression valve and then enters a product storage tank. The feeding flow of the feeding pump is 1-100 mL/min, and the tolerance pressure is 0.1-15 MPa (absolute pressure). The length of the preheating pipeline is 0.5-20 m, and the inner diameter is 1-8 mm. The flow rate of the micro-reactor is 0.5-70 mL/min, the withstand pressure is 0.1-3 MPa (absolute pressure), and the residence time is 0.1-5 s. The flow rate of the micro heat exchanger is 0.5-50 mL/min, the withstand pressure is 0.1-50 MPa (absolute pressure), and the residence time is 0.1-60 s. The length of the delay pipeline is 0.5-100 m, and the inner diameter is 1-8 mm.
In the invention, the temperature of the constant-temperature circulating bath outside the preheating pipeline is 150-220 ℃, the temperature of the constant-temperature circulating bath outside the microreactor is 180-300 ℃, the temperature of the constant-temperature circulating bath outside the micro-heat exchanger is 120-180 ℃, and the temperature of the constant-temperature circulating bath outside the delay pipeline is 150-220 ℃. The residence time of the whole reaction process is 1-15 min, preferably 4-8 min.
In the invention, the inhibitor is added by respectively pumping the preheated raw materials into the micro-reactor and the micro-heat exchanger or the micro-heat exchanger. The reason for this is: the reaction rate of the preheated raw materials is obviously accelerated, the heat release is severe, the pumped inhibitor absorbs part of the reaction heat, and in addition, the added inhibitor has the effects of slowing down the reaction rate and reducing the heat release peak value. The reason is that the raw material firstly undergoes a Claisen rearrangement reaction, an electron-withdrawing group is arranged in the molecule of the raw material to facilitate the reaction, and the added ester inhibitors, particularly tert-butyl formate and trityl formate disperse the electronegativity of oxygen atoms in the raw material molecule to reduce the electron cloud density, so that the reaction rate is slowed down, and the reaction can be better controlled.
In the invention, the reaction raw material is cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether or cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether solution with the concentration of 10-99 wt%, preferably cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methyl butadiene ether.
In the present invention, the solvent of the cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methylbutadiene ether solution is inert aliphatic alkane, aromatic hydrocarbon, ether, halogenated alkane, etc. which do not react with the raw material, such as n-heptane, toluene, 1, 2-dichloroethane, 1, 4-dioxane, etc.
In the invention, the structural formulas of the cis/trans-isopentenyl-3-methylbutadiene ether are (Ia) and (Ib), the structural formula of the 2,4, 4-trimethyl-3-formyl-1, 5-hexadiene is (II), and the structural formula of the citral (3, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadiene-1-aldehyde) is (III).

The invention has the positive effects that: the invention provides a method for preparing citral with high selectivity and high speed, wherein specific esters are added in raw materials to serve as side reaction inhibitors and play a role in regulating reaction rate. The selectivity of the product is obviously improved by selecting inhibitors and optimizing reaction conditions (mainly feeding sequence). The selectivity reaches 95-99%, preferably 97-99%, and the reaction time is shortened to 1-15 min. In the preferred scheme, the whole process is carried out in a micro reactor and/or a micro heat exchanger system, and the heat and mass transfer effects are enhanced, so that the whole reaction time is further shortened to 4-8 min, and the side reaction time is shortened.
