Description

Novel method for preparing ferulic acid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicine synthesis, and in particular relates to a method for synthesizing ferulic acid.
Background
Ferulic acid is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid with molecular formula of C 10 H 10 O 4 The structural formula is as follows:
the piperazine ferulate can be prepared by taking piperazine ferulate and piperazine hexahydrate as raw materials for reaction. Piperazine ferulate is the main active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine ligusticum wallichii, has the functions of anticoagulation, platelet aggregation prevention, microcirculation improvement, vasospasm relief and coronary artery flow increase, and is clinically suitable for the auxiliary treatment of glomerulonephropathy accompanied with microscopic haematuria and hypercoagulable state, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, vasculitis and the like.
The preparation of ferulic acid mainly comprises three methods: alkaline hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and chemical synthesis.
1. The alkaline hydrolysis process is one semisynthesis process of preparing ferulic acid, and the ferulic acid is cross-linked with polysaccharide and lignin via ester bond to form one part of polymer, and the alkali process or enzyme process is used to break the ester bond to release ferulic acid and the proper solvent is used for extraction. Usually, sodium hydroxide solution with low concentration is adopted, most of ferulic acid in the wheat drum can be released at a proper extraction temperature, and sodium sulfite protective agent is added or nitrogen is continuously filled in the extraction process, so that the recovery rate of the ferulic acid can be increased. In the whole process of preparing the ferulic acid, the method has the key and difficult points that the crude ferulic acid is usually extracted by an extraction method, and the ferulic acid is purified by adopting chromatographic column separation, so that the process is complicated, the purification is difficult, and the large-scale industrialization is difficult.
2. The enzyme hydrolysis method is to culture an enzyme to free ferulic acid from ferulic acid methyl ester, oligosaccharide ferulic acid ester and polysaccharide ferulic acid. For example, aspergillus niger is used as strain, a liquid submerged fermentation method is adopted to prepare a mixed enzyme preparation containing feruloyl esterase and arabinoxylase, the mixed enzyme preparation is used for acting on the wheat bran with starch removed, and the wheat bran is degraded to release ferulic acid. The preparation of ferulic acid by using biological enzyme to decompose raw materials is an ideal method with wide application prospect, but a high-efficiency production method cannot be researched at present, and further research on how to culture and enrich the special enzyme preparation with high efficiency is still needed.
3. The chemical synthesis method finds that the synthetic route of the ferulic acid mainly comprises the following 2 steps of: the first method for synthesizing the compound comprises the following steps: journal Chines e Journal of Pharmaceuticals 1997,28 of Chinese medicine industry (4)
The catalyst used in the reaction is pyridine, aniline, etc., and the solvent and the water-carrying agent are toluene. Pyridine has strong malodor and high toxicity; aniline has strong carcinogenesis; toluene is also a volatile, moderately strong, toxic organic solvent that does not meet the green chemistry requirements. The reaction takes a long time, up to several tens of hours.
The second method for synthesizing the compound comprises the following steps: chinese patent CN105566101a
The vanillin is used as a raw material, a new ferulic acid synthesis route is provided, the vanillin reacts with acetic anhydride at high temperature in the presence of potassium carbonate to generate acetylferulic acid, and the acetylferulic acid is hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to obtain the ferulic acid.
The synthetic route still uses vanillin as a starting material, is not complex, but has some disadvantages: (1) The reaction temperature is high, and the long-time high-temperature reaction easily causes cis-conformation isomerization of the ferulic acid. (2) The reaction yield is low, the yield of the ferulic acid synthesis step is about 60%, and a large amount of unreacted vanillin is not easy to remove, so that the purity of the synthesized ferulic acid is low.
Therefore, the development of a preparation method with energy conservation, environmental protection and simple process in the field of ferulic acid synthesis has great applicability.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a novel method for preparing ferulic acid, which adopts cheap and easily available starting materials on the basis of the prior reports, has the advantages of green and environment-friendly synthesis process, simple and convenient operation, high product purity, stable process and suitability for industrial production.
The invention takes vanillin and Mi's acid as initial raw materials, organic acid as catalyst, the ferulic acid is obtained by reaction, and the preparation equation is as follows:
the organic acid is specifically carboxylic acid, and can be further specifically: one or more of acetic acid, formic acid, tartaric acid and malic acid.

The solvent adopted in the reaction system is a polar solvent, preferably one or more mixed solvents of water, ethanol and methanol.
The physique ratio V/M of the solvent and vanillin in the reaction system is 3-5.
The reaction temperature is 40-80 ℃, preferably 70-80 ℃.
The molar ratio of vanillin to milbezier acid is 1:1-1:1.2.
the specific operation steps are as follows:
step 1: adding vanillin, mi's acid and an organic acid catalyst into a reaction system, reacting in a polar solvent at 40-80 ℃, cooling to room temperature after TLC monitoring reaction is completed, and filtering to obtain a ferulic acid crude product;
step 2: adding aqueous solution of organic alcohol into the ferulic acid crude product for recrystallization, crystallizing and filtering, leaching a filter cake with water, and drying by blowing to obtain the ferulic acid.

Further, the volume content of the organic alcohol in the solution of the recrystallized organic alcohol water in the specific steps is 40-60%.
Further, the stability of the forced air drying in the above specific steps is 40-65 ℃.
Condensing Mi's acid under acidic condition, removing acetone, decarboxylating to obtain ferulic acid, wherein the specific reaction mechanism is as follows:

Mild acid is a common chemical raw material and a common medical intermediate, the raw material is easy to obtain and store, and the normal state is solid, so that the use in the process operation is very convenient.
Organic acids are used as catalysts, for example carboxylic acids: acetic acid, formic acid and the like are common carboxylic acids, and the preparation method has the advantages of low price, simple components and simple preparation. Compared with the water extract of the acacia pod disclosed and reported in the literature, the water extract of the acacia pod is cheap and easy to obtain as a catalyst, is troublesome to prepare and has low yield. In addition, it is reported in the literature that whether the water extract of acacia pod can cope with the amplification effect is not known at all because the number of experimental moles of the water extract of acacia pod as a catalyst is small. In other documents, crops and wastewater are used as solvents for the reaction of vanillin and Mi's acid, and the waste liquid can be utilized, but a large amount of unknown impurities and microorganisms can be introduced into the production of medical products, so that the complexity of purification and detection is brought, and the method is not applicable to the preparation of medical raw medicines.
The preparation process of the invention adopts cheap and easily available initial raw materials, the synthesis process is environment-friendly, and the waste liquid and organic solvent generated in the reaction system and the post-treatment are less. The operation process is simple, the feeding procedure is simple, no special equipment is needed, the steps are conventional, the control of related parameters can be within a certain range, the final yield and purity of the product can not be influenced by the change of the tiny parameters, and the process is stable and suitable for industrial production.
