Description

Method for preparing n-butanol from ethanol
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry, and in particular relates to a method for preparing n-butanol from ethanol
Background
N-butanol is an important chemical product, and is mainly used for preparing n-butyl plasticizers, and also used as raw materials for preparing butyraldehyde, butyric acid, butylamine, butyl lactate and the like. N-butanol may also be added to gasoline as a fuel additive.
In recent years, a method for preparing n-butanol directly from ethanol through a Guerbet reaction in one step has been receiving attention. At present, the homogeneous catalyst with highest activity is a Picer type Ru and Mn type catalyst, and the structural formula isBoth catalysts exhibit high activity for catalyzing the reaction of ethanol to n-butanol, with Mn complexes having catalyst conversion numbers as high as 114120 (J.Am.chem. Soc.2016,138,9077; J.Am.chem. Soc.2017,139, 11941). However, the ligand synthesis for Mn complexes is complex, and the phosphine ligand groups contained therein are sensitive to water and air, increasing the operational difficulty of the reaction and the cost of the catalyst. Thus, it is particularly important to develop a catalyst that is stable to water and air.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems of the existing synthesis of n-butanol by taking ethanol as a raw material: ligand synthesis of homogeneous catalysts is complex and sensitive to air and water. The invention provides a method for preparing n-butanol by taking a high-activity iridium complex as a catalyst (TON > 10000) and ethanol as a raw material and a solvent, wherein the ligand and the iridium complex are stable to water and air.
The method for preparing n-butanol from ethanol takes ethanol as a raw material, and adopts Guerbet reaction with a metallic iridium complex as a catalyst, and specifically comprises the following steps:
specifically, an iridium complex and alkali are added into ethanol, and the structural formula (formula 1) of iridium complex cations is as follows:
formula 1, L is a bidentate ligand; the structural formula of the bidentate ligand L is as follows: R 1 is H, or R 1 is a F, cl, br, CF 3、Me、OMe、OH、NH2 or NMe 2 substituent on the phenyl ring; n=0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5,6, 7, 8, 9 or 10. The iridium complex anions are: one or more of trifluoromethane sulfonate (OTf), chloride (Cl), bromide (Br), sulfate (SO 4), tetrafluoroborate (BF 4), nitrate (NO 3), hexafluorophosphate (PF 6), perchlorate (ClO 4), p-toluenesulfonate (OTs), bis (trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (NTf 2), trifluoroacetate (TFA) or acetate (OAc). The amount of iridium complex is 0.01-10gL -1; the concentration of the alkali is 0.01-100gL -1. The optimal amount of iridium complex is 0.5-5gL -1; the optimum concentration of base is 2-20gL -1. The inert gas and/or nitrogen pressure is 0.1-3.0Mpa; the reaction temperature is 100-180 ℃, and the reaction time is as follows: 0.5-100h. The alkali is one or a combination of several of potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium tert-butoxide and potassium tert-butoxide.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the iridium complex has low dosage, high stability of the complex and ligand, high catalytic activity and reduced production cost. The Guerbet reaction for preparing n-butanol by ethanol is realized in ethanol, and the problem of additional separation and purification caused by using other solvents is avoided.
