Detailed Description
The following examples illustrate the invention in detail: the embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical scheme of the invention, and gives a detailed implementation mode and a specific operation process. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
As used herein, "liquid temperature" refers to the temperature of a solution.
In order to reduce the cost of raw materials and improve the reaction yield, the technical idea of the application is as follows: taking 2-alkylacrolein 1D as a raw material, and adding the 2-alkylacrolein 1D with a compound 1E such as alcohols under the action of the selected catalysts (1A, 1B and 1C) to obtain a beta-aldehyde ether intermediate 1F; then the 2-alkyl-1, 3-propanediol 1H is obtained through the classical chemical reaction of reducing aldehyde group by catalytic hydrogenation and removing ether protecting group, and the total yield can reach more than 70%.
However, this method has the following technical difficulties, and there has not been any report or attempt.
Most critically, a suitable catalyst is required to allow the reaction of 2-alkylacrolein with the alcohol compound to obtain the β -aldehyde ether intermediate, corresponding to the following reaction equation:
Figure BDA0002341752120000051
most of the documents before the present invention use strong acid or basic catalysts (such as acetic acid; 1, 8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene, etc.) to catalyze the reaction, however, the yield is generally only 40-50%, the residual raw materials or byproducts after the reaction are too much, for example, the acid catalyst can catalyze aldehyde group and alcohol compound to generate acetal byproduct; the basic catalyst can cause the self-polymerization side reaction of 2-alkylacrolein which is one of the raw materials, and the chemical property of the product (beta-aldehyde ether intermediate 1F) is unstable, and the product can be easily decomposed and changed back to two raw materials under the conditions of strong acidity and alkalinity, so that the catalyst has no industrial practical value.
Although a few documents report that the reaction yield reaches over 80 percent by using o-benzoyl sulfimide or o-diphenyldisulfonimide as a catalyst; however, since the product of this reaction (β -aldehyde ether intermediate 1F) has a large molecular polarity and poor chemical stability, there is no suitable method for completely removing the residual phthalimide (or phthalimide) after the reaction is completed. The o-benzoylsulfonyl imide and the o-diphenyldisulfonyl imide both contain sulfur, and even if only ppm-level residues exist in the product of the reaction, the hydrogenation reduction of aldehyde groups can not be completed due to serious catalyst poisoning during the subsequent hydrogenation reaction of the invention.
In order to solve the problems, the invention optimizes 3 new catalysts which are not reported before through creative work: 3, 4-bis (formate) -phthalimide compound (1A), 5-formate-2, 3-naphthalimide compound (1B), and 5, 8-bis (formate) -2, 3-naphthalimide compound (1C). The main structure of the 3 catalysts is phthalic acid (or o-naphthalene) dicarboxamide, and originally, the solubility of the compounds in various organic solvents is not very good, so that one or two ester groups are added to the main structure of the compounds, and two advantages are generated: first, the increased ester groups improve the solubility of such compounds in most organic solvents. Secondly, if the ester group is hydrolyzed to a carboxyl group by acid or base catalyzed hydrolysis, the catalyst is changed to an amide plus carboxyl group structure, and the solubility is greatly reduced and precipitated from the solvent. Then filtered (recovered) and the filter cake can be changed back to the catalyst by carrying out the esterification reaction again. The 3 catalysts can not only lead 2-alkyl acrolein to smoothly react with alcohol compounds, but also lead the yield of the beta-aldehyde ether intermediate 1F to reach more than 80 percent; and the subsequent hydrogenation reaction is not adversely affected, and the catalyst can be conveniently recycled, so that the corresponding process route of the invention has feasibility and practical value.
In the process of preparing the beta-aldehyde ether intermediate 1F by the catalytic addition reaction, a certain amount of solvent can be added if necessary. If the added alcohol compound is sticky and not good for stirring, or is in a solid state (at the reaction temperature), or the added alcohol compound has poor dissolving effect on the catalyst, the solvent needs to be added, otherwise, no additional solvent is needed.
If a solvent is added, the solvent can be one or more of petroleum ether, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, methyl cyclopentyl ether, dioxane, methyl tert-butyl ether and the like. In fact, more solvents are available for the reaction; basically, any organic solvent can be used as long as it has a neutral pH and can dissolve the alcohol compound and the catalyst.
The amount of the solvent may be 0 to 30 times (mass ratio) the amount of the 2-alkylacrolein to be added.
The beta-aldehyde ether intermediate 1F is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to reduce aldehyde groups, and various classical mature aldehyde compounds can be hydrogenated to obtain alcohol compounds. The hydrogenation catalyst is only required to reduce aldehyde groups to hydroxyl groups at the temperature of below 120 ℃, and any one or combination of any more of palladium catalyst, ruthenium catalyst and platinum catalyst can be selected, such as raney nickel or palladium carbon. The amount of the hydrogenation catalyst to be used varies depending on the kind of the catalyst, and for example, the amount of Raney nickel is generally 10 to 25 mass% based on the raw material 2-alkylacrolein; the amount of palladium on carbon used is generally 0.5 to 5 mass% based on the starting 2-alkylacrolein.
The reaction condition for removing ether protecting group can adopt various classical mature ether bonds to remove protecting group to obtain alcohol compound reaction conditions, such as acid catalytic hydrolysis, benzyl ether hydrogenolysis and the like, and has mild condition and high yield. If the ether bond protecting group to be removed is a benzyl group, the benzyl protecting group from which the ether bond is removed can be removed simultaneously with the catalytic hydrogenation.
The obtained crude solution of 2-alkyl-1, 3-propanediol 1H can be further processed by various common organic compound purification methods, such as extraction, liquid separation, reduced pressure distillation (rectification), crystallization, steam distillation and the like, and finally the 2-alkyl-1, 3-propanediol with the purity of more than 98 percent is obtained.
The following is further illustrated with reference to the examples.
Example 1
The synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0002341752120000071
460g (10 mol) of absolute ethanol and 0.145g (0.0005 mol) of 3, 4-bis (ethylformate) -phthalimide were added to a 1000ml three-necked glass flask under nitrogen. Cooling the reaction solution to about 0 ℃ with stirring, and then adding 8.4g (0.1 mol) of 2-ethylacrolein (2A); after the addition, the temperature is kept between 0 and 10 ℃ and the stirring is continued for 48 hours.
The reaction mixture was transferred to an autoclave, and 2.1g of Raney nickel was added thereto. After nitrogen replacement, continuously introducing hydrogen, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation at the liquid temperature of 110-120 ℃ and the hydrogen pressure of 8 MPa. After about 10 hours, it was confirmed that no hydrogen absorption occurred. And cooling the hydrogenation reaction liquid to room temperature, then replacing with nitrogen, taking out the reaction liquid, and filtering to recover the Raney nickel.
The filtrate was transferred to another clean 1000ml three-necked flask, and 100g of 10% sulfuric acid was additionally added thereto, followed by heating with stirring until ethanol refluxed for 8 hours. After the temperature is reduced, the reaction liquid is neutralized to be neutral by sodium hydroxide solution, and then ethanol and water are removed by decompression and concentration. The concentrated residue was extracted 3 times with 50ml of ethyl acetate each time; the ethyl acetate layers are combined and concentrated again under reduced pressure to give about 10.2g (theoretical yield 10.4 g) of a concentrated residue, i.e. crude 2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol (2D). The content thereof was about 86.1% by gas chromatography.
Comparative example 1
The 3, 4-bis (ethylformate) -phthalimide employed in example 1 was replaced with an equal mass of DBU (1, 8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene); the rest of the operation was the same as in example 1. The crude product obtained was analyzed by gas chromatography, wherein the content of the objective product (2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol, 2D) was only 51%, and about 29% of 2-methylbutanol, and other various impurities were further contained. It can be seen that the DBU catalyst does not achieve the objects of the present invention, and the preferred catalysts of the present invention have unexpected technical effects.
Comparative example 2
0.0145g of 3, 4-bis (ethylformate) -phthalimide, as used in example 1, was replaced by 0.6g (0.01 mol) of acetic acid; the rest of the operation was the same as in example 1. The resulting crude product was analyzed by gas chromatography and contained only 46% of the desired product (2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol, 2D), about 33% of 2-methylbutanol, and about 16% of 2-methylbutanal. It can be seen that acetic acid as a catalyst does not achieve the object of the present invention.
Example 2
The synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0002341752120000081
200g of toluene, 7.4g (0.1 mol) of t-butanol and 2.68g (0.01 mol) of 5-carbothoxy-2, 3-naphthalimide are introduced into a 500ml three-necked glass flask under nitrogen. While stirring, 16.8g (0.1 mol) of 2- (3, 4-difluoro) phenylacrolein (3A) was further added to the reaction solution; after the addition, the temperature is kept between 70 and 80 ℃ and the stirring is continued for 1 hour.
The reaction mixture was transferred to an autoclave, and 0.084g of 5% palladium on carbon was added thereto. After nitrogen replacement, hydrogen is continuously introduced, and catalytic hydrogenation is carried out under the conditions that the liquid temperature is 90-100 ℃ and the hydrogen pressure is 0.4 MPa. After about 8 hours, it was confirmed that hydrogen absorption did not occur. And cooling the hydrogenation reaction liquid to room temperature, then replacing with nitrogen, taking out the reaction liquid, and filtering to recover the palladium-carbon.
The filtrate was transferred to another clean 500ml three-necked flask, and 50g of 5% sulfuric acid was further added thereto, followed by heating to reflux toluene for 5 hours with stirring. Cooling to room temperature again, and then separating liquid to remove a sulfuric acid layer; washing with 100ml (each time) of 2% potassium hydroxide solution for 2 times to remove 5-ethyl formate-2, 3-naphthalimide; finally, the organic layer is washed by water to be neutral and separated. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove toluene to give a pale yellow paste (solidified after cooling); after 2 crystallization of the residue with 4 times (by mass/volume) chloroform, 14.7g (theoretical yield 18.8 g) of 2- (3, 4-difluoro) phenyl-1, 3-propanediol (3D) was obtained, which was analyzed by gas chromatography to have a purity of 98.3%.
Example 3
The synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0002341752120000091
a1000 ml three-necked glass bottle was charged with 540g of tetrahydrofuran, 21.6g (0.2 mol) of benzyl alcohol, and 1.64g (0.005 mol) of 5, 8-bis (ethylformate) -2, 3-naphthalimide under nitrogen atmosphere. Under stirring, 18.0g (0.1 mol) of 2- (4-propyl) cyclohexylacrolein (4A) was further added to the reaction solution; after the addition, the temperature is kept between 40 ℃ and 50 ℃ and the stirring is continued for 5 hours.
The reaction solution was transferred to an autoclave, and 0.9g of 3% palladium on carbon was added. After nitrogen replacement, hydrogen is continuously introduced, and catalytic hydrogenation is carried out at the liquid temperature of 60-70 ℃ and the hydrogen pressure of 2.0 MPa. About 10 hours, after confirming that no hydrogen absorption phenomenon exists; and cooling the hydrogenation reaction liquid to room temperature, then replacing with nitrogen, taking out the reaction liquid, and filtering to recover the palladium-carbon.
The filtrate obtained is washed 2 times with 50ml (each time) of a 2% potassium hydroxide solution to remove 5, 8-bis (ethylformate) -2, 3-naphthalimide; then concentrating under reduced pressure to remove tetrahydrofuran to obtain light yellow paste (cooling and solidifying); after 2 crystallization of the residue with 5 times (by mass/volume) petroleum ether, 15.4g (theoretical yield 20.0 g) of 2- (4-propyl) cyclohexyl-1, 3-propanediol (4C) was obtained, which was analyzed by gas chromatography to have a purity of 98.6%.
In conclusion, the invention takes 2-alkylacrolein as raw material, and the 2-alkylacrolein and compounds such as alcohols are added under the action of the catalyst designed by the invention to obtain a beta-aldehyde ether intermediate; the 2-alkyl-1, 3-propanediol is obtained through the classical chemical reaction of reducing aldehyde group by catalytic hydrogenation and removing ether protecting group, and the total yield can reach more than 70%.
