Description

Method for synthesizing vanillin by oxidizing eugenol with ozone
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing vanillin by oxidizing eugenol with ozone.
Background
Vanillin is one of important edible spices, is an edible flavor enhancer, has vanilla bean flavor and strong milk flavor, is an indispensable important raw material in the food additive industry, is widely applied to various flavor-enhancing foods needing milk flavor enhancement, such as cakes, cold drinks, chocolates, candies, biscuits, instant noodles, bread, tobaccos, flavor-enhancing wine, toothpaste, soap, perfume, cosmetics, ice cream, beverages and daily cosmetics, and plays roles in enhancing and fixing flavor. It can also be used for soap, toothpaste, rubber, plastics, and medicinal products. Meets the FCC IV standard.
Vanillin has wide application field in foreign countries, and is widely used for producing medical intermediates, plant growth promoters, bactericides, lubricating oil antifoaming agents, electroplating brightening agents, printed circuit board production conductive agents and the like. The domestic vanillin is mainly used as a food additive, and the application of the domestic vanillin in the field of medicines is continuously widened in recent years, so that the domestic vanillin becomes the most potential field for applying vanillin. At present, domestic vanillin consumption is as follows: 55% in the food industry, 30% in the medical intermediate, 10% in the feed flavoring agent, 5% in the cosmetics industry, etc.
At present, the synthesis of vanillin mainly comprises: chemical synthesis, natural extraction and biological synthesis. The literature reports that many methods for preparing vanillin by chemical synthesis methods mainly include lignin method, safrole method, eugenol method, guaiacol method and the like. Lignin is widely present in wood waste, straw, peat, pulp waste and distillers' grains, and the lignin contained in these wastes can be utilized to prepare vanillin. The yield of vanillin generated by sulfonating waste liquid of paper making in Li Guangzhou of Anhui university of Engineers and oxidizing the waste liquid can reach 10.8 percent at most. The safrole method comprises isomerizing safrole (derived from oleum Camphora) under alkaline condition, oxidizing to piperonal, and then adding PCl5Preparing protocatechualdehyde under the action of the above-mentioned raw materials, finally making methylation reaction by using dimethyl sulfate so as to obtain vanillin. At the end of the 19 th century, Reimer and TieTnann began to synthesize vanillin using the eugenol process. At present, the most common method is to isomerize eugenol into sodium isoeugenol in the presence of alkali, then oxidize the sodium isoeugenol into vanillin sodium salt by using an oxidizing agent, and then neutralize and crystallize to obtain vanillin. Chinese patent CN107188791A discloses a method for synthesizing vanillin from eugenol raw material by isomerization, esterification, oxidation and hydrolysis processes. The process for synthesizing vanillin by using the guaiacol method is mature, and is a mainstream method adopted in the vanillin synthesis industry at present. From the 80 s in the 20 th century, most foreign manufacturers have condensed guaiacol with glyoxylic acid under alkaline conditions to produce 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid, and the condensation reaction liquid is used for recovering unreacted guaiacolAfter the lignan is oxidized by catalysis, the corresponding ketonate is generated, and the ketonate is decarboxylated under the acidic condition to generate vanillin.
Vanillin is widely present in nature in free form and in the form of glucosides, especially in Vanilla, in amounts of about 20g/kg (dry weight). A deep-processed vanilla product is mainly an infusion of vanilla, and is prepared by cutting vanilla into pieces, placing into an extractor, extracting with 95% ethanol at 50-60 deg.C, and filtering. This process is costly, time consuming, and solvent remains.
In 1991, Knuth et al suggested that vanilla callus cell suspension culture secreted a complex vanilla-flavored substance, and that 0.099g/L vanillin could be obtained after continuous extraction with activated carbon for 14 days without precursor. Van den Heuvel et al found that vanillin could be produced using Vanillyl Alcohol Oxidase (VAO).
Eugenol is used as a raw material, a direct oxidation method is generally adopted for industrially producing vanillin, namely, eugenol and strong alkali are heated together to isomerize into isoeugenol, and then the isoeugenol is directly oxidized. The vanillin produced by the process has good fragrance, but the production cost is high, the production yield is about 60%, only a few manufacturers adopt the process at present, and the total yield is very small. Patent CN107188791A discloses a method for obtaining vanillin by using eugenol as raw material through isomerization, esterification and potassium permanganate oxidation, but the method has the following disadvantages: the isomerization reaction temperature is high and the time is long; toxic solvents of dichloromethane and triethylamine are used in the phenolic hydroxyl protection process, so that the fragrance and the quality of the vanillin product are influenced; the oxidation reaction uses a metal oxidant KMnSO4The waste liquid generated by the reaction is difficult to treat, has serious pollution to the environment and is gradually eliminated.
The plant extraction method has its own advantages, and vanillin extracted from the plant vanilla is natural, but because the planting area of the vanilla is limited, the yield is greatly influenced by climate, the labor intensity of crop planting and processing is too high, and the produced natural vanillin can not meet the market demand.
The microbial vanillin production method overcomes the influence of chemically synthesized vanillin on human body in the food field, has no toxic or side effect, and has the advantages of short period, no influence of seasons and natural environment, low cost, batch production and the like. At present, the world only has france Rodiya companies to produce vanillin by a microbiological method, but the enterprises are still in the beginning stage, and the supply of the vanillin is limited.
