Preparation process of 2-methallyl alcohol
Technical Field
The invention relates to a new process for preparing 2-methallyl alcohol, belonging to the field of chemical synthesis and the technical field of fine chemical engineering.
Background
2-methallyl alcohol is soluble in water and organic solvents, can generate self-polymerization and copolymerization reaction, is an important organic intermediate, is widely applied to a plurality of fields such as medicines, pesticides, spices, resins, polycarboxylic acid water reducing agents and the like, is particularly used for synthesizing polycarboxylic acid water reducing agents, and has been greatly developed in recent years. Because of their performance similarity to allyl alcohol and their much lower toxicity than allyl alcohol, a number of fields have replaced allyl alcohol. Therefore, the market prospect of the 2-methallyl alcohol is very wide.
At present, the preparation processes of 2-methallyl alcohol which are publicly reported mainly comprise the following processes: (1) direct hydrolysis of methallyl chloride. U.S. Pat. No. 5,410,2015 uses methylallyl chloride plus sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate for direct hydrolysis to obtain 2-methylallyl alcohol. The method has weak activity of the methallyl chloride, needs to add strong base and organic solvent under high temperature and high pressure during hydrolysis to react, and has the problems of harsh reaction conditions, large generation amount of byproduct ether, low product yield, difficult recovery of the organic solvent and the like. On the basis, the Chinese patent CN101759528A adopts polyethylene glycol as a phase transfer catalyst for improvement, but the effect is general, and the problems of difficult product purification and the like are increased. JP2009107949 uses DMF to promote hydrolysis, but introduces a DMF solvent which is difficult to treat, and causes certain pollution to the environment. (2) Indirect hydrolysis of methallyl chloride. Chinese patent CN103242139A uses methallyl chloride as the starting material, and adopts an esterification hydrolysis two-step method to produce 2-methallyl alcohol, in the method, under the action of a phase transfer catalyst, carboxylate, water and methallyl chloride are added into an autoclave to perform esterification reaction, oil and water are layered to obtain methallyl acetate, the obtained ester is added with alkali to perform hydrolysis, and oil and water are layered to obtain 2-methallyl alcohol. Although the method is the most widely applied industrial method at present, the added sodium acetate is easy to crystallize and block pipelines, the equipment in the esterification process is seriously corroded, and a large amount of waste brine is generated; because esterification is incomplete, residual methallyl chloride in the hydrolysis process generates methallyl ether with higher content, thereby influencing the purity of the product. (3) 2-methacrolein reduction method. CN102167657B, US2767221, JP-B56-36176 and the like adopt 2-methylacrolein hydrogenation catalytic reduction to prepare 2-methylallyl alcohol, but have the defects of high reduction temperature, high hydrogenation pressure, poor catalyst hydrogenation selectivity, high saturated alcohol content and the like. (4) An oxidation process of isobutene. CN103755523A adopts isobutene as raw material, firstly carries out catalytic oxidation to obtain 2-methylacrolein, and then carries out catalytic hydrogenation reduction to obtain 2-methylallyl alcohol. The oxidation and the reduction of the method are carried out at high temperature and high pressure, the requirement of strictly controlling the content of raw materials to be lower than the explosion limit is met, the process difficulty is higher, the double bond of isobutene is easier to be oxidized to generate aldehyde, the double bond of intermediate product olefine aldehyde is easier to be hydrogenated to generate saturated alcohol, the hydrogenation selectivity of the catalyst is low, and the product yield is low. In conclusion, the existing reaction processes have many disadvantages, and generally have the disadvantages of production process of generating waste water containing a large amount of halogenated salts, serious equipment corrosion, low product yield, high content of by-product ether and saturated alcohol, difficult solvent recovery, harsh process conditions, high energy consumption, large pollution and the like.
