Description

Method for synthesizing folic acid by oxidizing 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to a process method for synthesizing folic acid by oxidizing 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid, belonging to the technical field of fine chemical engineering.
Background
The 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid is called active folic acid, has better biological activity than folic acid, overcomes a series of side effects generated in the metabolic process of folic acid, and is a new generation product of folic acid. It is commonly known as a food additive and a main ingredient of a nutritional health product. The 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid participates in a plurality of important biochemical reactions in vivo and has important pharmacological action. The medicine can penetrate blood brain barrier, and can be used for preventing senile dementia and cell anemia. Compared with other medicines, the S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid has the characteristics of remarkable curative effect, complete functions and less side effects, and gradually becomes a focus of common attention in the medical and pharmaceutical research fields.
At present, with the intensive research on the side effects caused in the folic acid metabolism process, the substitution of 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid for natural folic acid has become the best choice in the field. Therefore, the research on the synthesis process of 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid also becomes one of the hot spots in the field.
The synthesis of 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid by using folic acid as a raw material mainly has two routes, one is that folic acid is reduced into tetrahydrofolic acid, the tetrahydrofolic acid is obtained by splitting, and then the tetrahydrofolic acid is methylated to obtain a product. The process produces a large amount of biologically inactive 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid as a by-product. The other is that the reduction product racemic tetrahydrofolic acid is directly methylated to obtain racemic 6-R, S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, and then the racemic 6-R, S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid is obtained by resolution.
Since the resolution of the latter synthetic route is carried out after methylation, the methylation reaction of 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid results in a large increase in process cost. Therefore, the synthesis of 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid in industry at present mainly adopts a technical route of direct resolution after reduction.
The 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid which is a byproduct in the production process of the 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid is a biologically-inactive substance and can only be treated as production waste at present, and the treatment process not only increases the production cost, but also brings about a great environmental problem. In order to solve the problem, the invention develops a process technology for obtaining folic acid by catalytic oxidation of 6-R-5-tetrahydrofolic acid, the obtained folic acid can be used as a production raw material to return to the production flow of 6-S-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, and meanwhile, the byproduct treatment process is omitted, the production cost is reduced, and the environmental risk is eliminated.
Disclosure of Invention
Tetrahydrofolic acid is a compound with poor oxidation stability, and can be oxidized into a complex mixture in air, and various common oxidants can also oxidize the tetrahydrofolic acid into the complex oxide under mild conditions. Therefore, the key to the technology of converting tetrahydrofolic acid into folic acid by using oxidation reaction is how to control the selectivity of the oxidation reaction.
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild oxidant at neutral conditions and at lower temperatures, and tetrahydrofolic acid is slowly oxidized under such conditions, but the oxidation product is also a complex mixture in the absence of a catalyst. The invention develops a catalyst which can specifically promote the oxidation of tetrahydrofolic acid to folic acid, so that the tetrahydrofolic acid can be generated with high conversion rate and high selectivity.
The supported catalyst developed by the invention takes commercial large-pore molecular sieve SBA-15 as a carrier, and nickel tetraphenylporphyrin and manganese tetraphenylporphyrin synthesized in situ are taken as active components of the catalyst. The catalysis principle is as follows: tetraphenylporphyrin rings loaded on the surface of the molecular sieve adsorb 6-R-tetrahydrofolic acid by virtue of weak intermolecular interaction to form a reaction substrate enrichment region, and the reaction substrate enrichment region is coordinated with porphyrin rings to complex divalent nickel ions and divalent manganese ions to play a synergistic role in catalyzing the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide on tetrahydrofolic acid molecules. The space limiting effect in the local micro-reaction area improves the hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction efficiency and improves the selectivity of the oxidation reaction.
After the oxidation reaction is finished, the supported catalyst can be recycled by simple filtration, so that the production cost is reduced, and the refining process of the product is simplified.
The whole oxidation reaction is carried out under the mild condition, redundant hydrogen peroxide can be quickly decomposed under the action of a supported catalyst, and a reaction terminating reagent is not required to be additionally added, so that the method is an efficient and environment-friendly synthesis method.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the R configuration isomer in the mother liquor after the S configuration isomer is separated by the resolution of the racemic tetrahydrofolic acid can be directly subjected to oxidation reaction without separation, and the folic acid which is the production raw material of the 6-S-tetrahydrofolic acid is recovered. The recovery process is simple to operate, the production cost of the 6-S-tetrahydrofolic acid is greatly reduced, and the environmental influence generated in the byproduct treatment process is eliminated.
2. The supported catalyst has high catalytic efficiency and good selectivity, can be simply recycled after being used, reduces the production cost and has no problem of waste gas catalyst treatment.
3. The hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant, and the oxidant generates water in the reaction without other byproducts. The residual hydrogen peroxide in the reaction can be decomposed under the action of a reaction catalyst, so that the product separation process is simplified.
4. The synthesis process is simple, convenient to operate, free of byproduct generation and environment-friendly.
