Description

Method for preparing o-nitrobenzoic acid by oxidizing o-nitrotoluene with oxygen without catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of o-nitrobenzoic acid, in particular to a method for preparing o-nitrobenzoic acid by oxidizing o-nitrotoluene with oxygen without a catalyst.
Background
The o-nitrobenzoic acid is an important organic synthesis intermediate and is widely applied to the fields of dye, medicine, food, organic synthesis and the like. The existing method for synthesizing o-nitrobenzoic acid is mainly potassium permanganate oxidation, sodium dichromate oxidation, NaClO oxidation, nitric acid oxidation or oxidation with addition of other transition metal and noble metal catalysts (Letters in Drug Design & Discovery,2013,10, 369; Applied organic Chemistry,2015,29, 276; Tetrahedron,2012,68, 9763; Catalysis Communications,2012,27, 124; Hangzhou chemical engineering, 1996.2.44). The method mainly uses high-valence manganese, chromium or chlorate, has serious environmental pollution problems and can generate a large amount of solid wastes; or nitric acid with strong oxidizing property and strong acidity, and severe corrosion can be caused to reaction equipment by death; and hydrogen peroxide, which is unstable and has an explosion hazard. These problems have greatly limited their industrial application.
The literature reports a method for synthesizing o-nitrobenzoic acid by catalyzing oxygen to oxidize o-nitrotoluene in an alkaline medium by using anhydrous methanol and methanol-benzene as solvents and selecting metal phthalocyanine as a biomimetic catalyst (fine chemical engineering, 1998,1, 45; fine chemical engineering, 2004,21, 474; CN 1944396A, published Japanese 2007-04-11; CN 1243717, granted bulletin date: 2006-03-01). The method has the disadvantages that anhydrous methanol or methanol-benzene is used as a solvent, the operation (reaction or distillation) of the anhydrous methanol under the pure oxygen condition has potential explosion hazard, and the methanol has great toxicity to optic nerves; moreover, benzene has significant hematologic and neurotoxicity, which poses a potential threat to the health of laboratory and industrial operators. In addition, a method for synthesizing o-nitrobenzoic acid by catalyzing oxygen to oxidize o-nitrotoluene in an alkaline medium by using 80% ethanol aqueous solution as a solvent and selecting ferriporphyrin chloride as a biomimetic catalyst is also reported (journal of chemical engineering, 2007,58, 3053). The method solves the problems of equipment corrosion, environmental pollution and the like in the preparation of the o-nitrobenzoic acid in an acidic medium. In addition, the literature (appl. Catal A; general.2005,282,55) and many patents (CN 1521153A, CN 1453259, CN 1333200) also disclose and report the method for preparing benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid and derivatives thereof by oxidizing toluene and derivatives thereof with air as an oxidizing agent by using metalloporphyrin as a catalyst, but the problems of low conversion rate, poor selectivity and difficult separation of products and mixtures are generally existed. Professor laughing 2014 also discloses (CN 103755520 a) a method for producing benzyl alcohol, aldehyde and acid by using air to oxidize substituted toluene based on gas-liquid-solid multiple reaction separation synchronous reactor catalyzed by transition metal porphyrin, wherein the method generates a mixture of three products and takes the production of the benzyl alcohol and the aldehyde as a main purpose. All of the above published reports require metal phthalocyanine or metal porphyrin as a catalyst, and the industrial application thereof is limited due to problems of low yield, difficulty in separation and purification, consumption of a large amount of organic solvent, and the like in the synthesis of such a catalyst.
In summary, the conventional chemical oxidation method, catalytic oxidation method, or biomimetic catalytic oxidation method still have problems such as heavy metal pollution, environmental pollution, or difficulty in synthesizing catalyst, and the like, which limits the industrial application thereof, especially in the fields of medicine and food industry with heavy metal residue requirement and strict requirements thereof. Therefore, the improvement of the current method is urgently needed, a green and environment-friendly process method is developed to solve the problems in the current process, the production cost is reduced, and the industrial application range is expanded.
