Description

Preparation method of methyl p-methoxycinnamate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical industry, relates to a preparation method of p-methoxy cinnamate, and particularly relates to a preparation method of methyl p-methoxy cinnamate.
Background
P-methoxycinnamate, especially the higher esters of p-methoxycinnamate, are excellent UV absorbers and are useful as chemical sunscreens. Methyl p-methoxycinnamate is a raw material for synthesizing higher p-methoxycinnamate, and has important application in the pharmaceutical field.
At present, the mainstream preparation method of p-methoxy cinnamate in industry is that p-methoxy benzaldehyde is used as a raw material and is prepared through a Claisen-Schmidt reaction route:
the p-methoxybenzaldehyde and methyl acetate are subjected to catalytic reaction in a conventional hydrocarbon solvent by using strong bases such as sodium methoxide and the like as catalysts, the reaction is carried out for 2-6 hours at the temperature of 40-65 ℃, and then a corresponding product is obtained after post-treatment.
Chinese patent CN105503596 discloses a preparation method of sunscreen isooctyl p-methoxycinnamate, which adopts the Claisen-Schmidt route to uniformly mix and stir p-methoxybenzaldehyde, methyl acetate, sodium alkoxide solution and isooctyl alcohol, and react for 3-8 hours at 55-75 ℃. And then adjusting the pH value to 12-14 by using a non-oxidizing acid, reducing the pressure, heating to 70-110 ℃, reacting for 2-8, recovering the low-boiling-point solvent, washing the reaction solution to be neutral by using an acid, removing the solvent, rectifying to obtain isooctyl p-methoxycinnamate, and recovering isooctyl alcohol. The patent reports that the total yield is 87-90%, which reaches a relatively ideal level, but the molar ratio of sodium methoxide to isooctyl p-methoxycinnamate as a catalyst is (1-1.2): 1, the catalyst has large dosage and high cost, and simultaneously, a large amount of acid is needed to neutralize the alkalinity of a system after the reaction is finished, so that a large amount of waste water is generated, and the environmental protection cost is increased.
US patent No. 5527947 discloses an improved process for the preparation of cinnamate compounds which comprises: (a) dissolving C1-C4 alkoxybenzaldehyde and C1-C4 alkyl acetate in a conventional hydrocarbon solvent; (b) reacting the resulting solution under mild conditions and in the presence of a strong alkali metal base; (c) acidifying the resulting mixture; (d) esterifying said acetic acid and stripping the esterified acetic acid from the mixture; (e) reacting the remaining C1-C4 alkoxycinnamic acid C1-C4 alkyl esters and C1-C4 alkoxycinnamic acids with C5-C14 alkanols in the presence of said strong alkali metal salt of polybasic acid suspension; (f) recovering the product. The total yield reported by the patent is 83-87%, the generation amount of waste liquid is greatly reduced by ingenious solvent circulation, but the molar ratio of sodium methoxide serving as a catalyst to isooctyl p-methoxycinnamate is 1.06: 1, the problems of large catalyst dosage and high catalyst cost still exist, and the patent does not mention the specific content of 3-alkoxy-3-p-methoxyphenyl propionate.
Japanese patent JPS617236A describes a process for the preparation of cinnamate esters by a condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and an acetate ester using a metal alkoxide as a base. However, since 4.7 to 12.5% of 3-methoxy-3-phenylpropionate is produced as a by-product, the method requires a purification step such as distillation in order to separate cinnamate from the reaction mixture. Therefore, this method has problems such as low yield, difficult purification and disposal of by-products.
Japanese patent JP3786528B2 discloses a process for preparing cinnamate esters which comprises condensing benzaldehyde with methyl acetate in the presence of a base. And then treating the reaction mixture with liquid acid after adding no additional solvent or adding additional solvent so as to convert the 3-alkoxy-3-phenyl propionate in the mixture into corresponding cinnamate, wherein the reaction liquid before treatment contains 7-16% of 3-alkoxy-3-phenyl propionate in a molar ratio. The total yield is 82-97.5%, but the dosage of the metal alkoxide of the catalyst is preferably 1-2 equivalents of benzaldehyde, the dosage of the catalyst is large, the cost of the catalyst is high, and a large amount of acid is needed to neutralize the alkalinity of a system after the reaction is finished, so that a large amount of waste water is generated, and the environmental protection cost is increased.
German patent EP0165521 discloses a method for preparing an optionally substituted cinnamate and an optionally substituted β -alkoxy- β -phenylpropionate, the molar ratio of the amount of the added catalyst to benzaldehyde is 1.1:1, the amount of the added catalyst is large, the cost of the catalyst is high, a large amount of waste water is generated in the acid-base neutralization process, the environmental protection cost is increased, and an alkali metal hydroxide is required to be added to treat a reaction solution in order to prepare the optionally substituted β -alkoxy- β -phenylpropionate into the optionally substituted cinnamate.
German patent DE3028417 discloses a process for the preparation of p-methoxycinnamate in a molar ratio of catalyst addition to p-methoxybenzaldehyde of 0.67:1, which, although reduced compared to other patent disclosures, still results in higher catalyst addition and higher costs, and also results in large amounts of waste water during neutralization, which increases environmental costs.
In order to improve the yield and purity of methyl p-methoxycinnamate, JP617236 discloses a method of separating methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate, which reduces the reaction yield, JP283462 discloses a method of converting methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate into methyl p-methoxycinnamate by treating a reaction solution containing methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate after the reaction with a liquid acid, which improves the reaction yield but involves a multiple acid-base neutralization process and increases the amount of salt-containing wastewater, and EP0165521 discloses a method of converting methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate into methyl p-methoxycinnamate by treating a reaction solution containing methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate after the reaction with a basic hydroxide, the same problem is found in patent JP 283462.
In view of the shortcomings of this route, it is very necessary to develop a process that is low in catalyst cost and safe and environmentally friendly. The process has the advantages of equivalent or higher conversion rate and selectivity, lower production cost and more environmental protection, so as to overcome the technical defects of the process.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of methyl p-methoxycinnamate, which has equivalent or higher conversion rate and selectivity, lower production cost and more environmental protection compared with the traditional process.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a process for the preparation of methyl p-methoxycinnamate comprising the steps of:
a) adding methyl acetate, methanol, sodium methoxide and cyclic ether into a condensation reaction kettle, stirring at a reflux temperature, and keeping the temperature for 0.2-1 h;
b) adding p-methoxybenzaldehyde into a condensation reaction kettle, simultaneously circulating a reaction solution through a reaction bed filled with a catalyst, carrying out reflux heat preservation after the p-methoxybenzaldehyde is added, continuing to react for 0.5-5 h, and separating and removing water generated in the reaction process through a rectifying tower, a condensation heat exchanger and an inorganic pervaporation membrane device.
The reaction route of the invention is shown as the following formula:
Figure BDA0002071152220000041
in the process of preparing the methyl p-methoxycinnamate, water is generated, and the sodium methoxide is very easy to generate methanol and sodium hydroxide when contacting with the water, so the following reactions are inevitable:
CH3ONa+H2O→CH3OH+NaOH
in order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the inventor skillfully adds a certain amount of methanol to ensure that the addition amount of sodium methoxide in the reaction process is in a very low level, so the following reaction is crucial to the invention:
CH3OH+NaOH→CH3ONa+H2O
the addition of methanol resulted in a significant decrease in the main reaction rate of p-methoxybenzaldehyde and methyl acetate, and a decrease in the product selectivity, which was not thought by the inventors. After many experimental investigations, the inventors have surprisingly found that the problem of the reduced reaction rate due to the addition of methanol can be solved by adding a specific cyclic ether in a suitable amount to the system.
It is also essential to the present invention that the water produced by the reaction of p-methoxybenzaldehyde and methyl acetate and/or the water produced by the reaction of methanol and sodium hydroxide be removed efficiently and in a timely manner.
In the process of preparing the methyl p-methoxycinnamate, a byproduct, namely 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenyl methyl propionate is also generated:
Figure BDA0002071152220000051
in order to obtain the methyl p-methoxycinnamate with high yield and high purity and simultaneously not increase the quantity of three wastes, the method adopted by the invention is to circulate reaction liquid through a reaction bed filled with a specific metal oxide catalyst in the reaction process and convert the methyl 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenylpropionate generated in the reaction process into the methyl p-methoxycinnamate in time.
The traditional process route has the advantages that the addition amount of sodium alkoxide serving as a catalyst is very large, the molar ratio of the sodium alkoxide to a substrate p-methoxybenzaldehyde is generally more than 1:1, most of the sodium alkoxide can react with water generated in the reaction and cannot play a role in catalysis, and meanwhile, in order to obtain p-methoxycinnamate with high yield and high purity, liquid acid and/or alkaline hydroxide are/is required to be used for treating a reaction mixture, so that the waste liquid amount is huge.
The method can skillfully solve the problem of failure caused by the reaction of the sodium alkoxide and the water, further greatly reduce the using amount of the catalyst and reduce the cost of the catalyst, and can obtain the methyl p-methoxycinnamate with high yield and high purity under the condition of not using liquid acid and/or alkaline hydroxide to treat the reaction mixture, thereby greatly reducing the treatment cost of three wastes.
According to the method, the methanol and the specific cyclic ether are added, water generated in the reaction process is removed in time, the use amount of a catalyst sodium methoxide is reduced, the reaction liquid is circulated through a reaction bed filled with a specific metal oxide catalyst, the 3-methoxy-3-p-methoxyphenyl methyl propionate generated in the reaction process is converted into the p-methoxy methyl cinnamate in time, the purity and the yield of the product p-methoxy methyl cinnamate are improved, an acid-base neutralization process is not needed, the use amount of the catalyst can be greatly reduced through the route, the acid-base neutralization is not needed, no extra waste water or other solid wastes are generated, and the production cost is saved, so that the purpose of the invention is achieved.
