For example: in patent CN111349003A, ethyl valerate is used as a starting material, and a catalytic reaction is performed in an ether solution in a pyrrole metal catalyst to generate 2-propyl-ethyl valerate, then the 2-propyl-ethyl valerate is hydrolyzed by using sodium hydroxide to obtain a crude product of sodium valproate, and valproic acid is obtained by distilling off ethanol, acidifying and desalting, and the reaction equation is as follows:
Figure BDA0002997415130000011
however, the above method uses ether as a solvent and is industrially dangerous, and uses pyrrole metal as a catalyst, which is not common industrially and is dangerous, and tripropylacetate impurities are easily produced in the first reaction step.
Another example is: in patent US4127604, cyanoacetate and bromopropane are used as starting materials, sodium alkoxide is used as an alkali reagent to perform a catalytic reaction to prepare 2-cyano-2-propylmethyl valerate, and propionitrile is obtained through hydrolysis, acidification and high-temperature deacidification; valpronitrile is hydrolyzed by 80% sulfuric acid to become valproamide, and valproic acid is obtained after nitrous acid is further added into a reaction system for oxidation, wherein the reaction equation is as follows (wherein the compound A is 2-cyano-2-propyl methyl valerate, the compound B is 2-cyano-2-propyl valeric acid, the compound C is valpronitrile, and the compound D is):
Figure BDA0002997415130000021
however, in the above method, after valpronitrile is hydrolyzed into valproate by 80% sulfuric acid, the reaction mechanism of the reaction system is as follows:
reaction equation 1:
Figure BDA0002997415130000022
reaction equation 2: NaNO2+H2SO4→NaHSO4+HNO2
Reaction equation 3: 2HNO2→NO↑+NO2↑+H2O
During the reaction, sodium nitrite and sulfuric acid react to generate nitrous acid as shown in equation 2, and then are further decomposed into nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide as shown in equation 3, and the acidic toxic oxides of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide corrode metal equipment of plants and plants, and cause great pollution to the environment, so that the method has certain danger from the aspect of operation.

adding aqueous alkali with the concentration of 15-30% into the yellow oily mixture obtained in the second step, and carrying out heat preservation reaction for 4-6 hours at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ so as to convert valproic acid into valproate and convert valproate into valproate and alcohol, extracting the water phase after the reaction is finished by using an organic solvent, and discarding the oil phase to obtain a valproate aqueous solution;
step four, adding sulfuric acid into the valproate aqueous solution obtained in the step three to neutralize until the pH value is 1-2, discarding a water phase after phase separation, extracting an oil phase which is a crude valproate product with water, and then performing reduced pressure distillation to obtain valproic acid;
and fifthly, adding the valproic acid obtained in the fourth step into a reaction kettle, slowly dropwise adding a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with the concentration of 15-20% to obtain a sodium valproate aqueous solution, adjusting the pH value to 8-10, and spray-drying the obtained sodium valproate aqueous solution to obtain the sodium valproate.
