Figure BDA0001319265160000011
however, in the process route, a large amount of sodium cyanide needs to be used in an acetic acid system, the pH needs to be strictly controlled in large-scale production, otherwise, virulent hydrocyanic acid is generated, and serious potential safety hazards exist. Meanwhile, if the high-purity xanthene-9-formic acid is required to be obtained, acetone is required to be repeatedly recrystallized, the operation is complicated, the acetone consumption is high, and the production cost is increased.

The specific synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0001319265160000012
but in the process route, n-butyllithium is used as a strong alkali reagent, anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is used as a solvent to react at-78 ℃ to form lithium salt, and then CO is introduced at-78 to-70 DEG2The two-step reaction conditions for forming the lithium carboxylate are harsh, ultra-low temperature reaction equipment is required for mass production, and the water-free and oxygen-free reaction is strict, so the application of the lithium carboxylate is limited.
(III) reacting xanthene serving as raw material with metallic sodium to form sodium salt, and then reacting with CO at low temperature2Reacting to obtain xanthene-sodium formate, and then performing neutralization reaction to obtain xanthene-9-formic acid. The specific synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0001319265160000021
the process uses xanthene as raw material, has high cost, needs a large amount of metal sodium reflux operation in the process of preparing xanthene sodium salt, and then carries out low temperature reaction with CO2After reaction and quenching reaction, a large amount of H is generated2And the metal sodium is very easy to ignite, and potential safety hazard exists in the use, so the route is not suitable for industrial production.
