Description

Method for preparing all-trans vitamin A acetate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a method for preparing all-trans vitamin A acetate.
Background
Vitamin A, also called retinol, has the functions of helping growth and reproduction, maintaining normal secretion of bones, epithelial tissues, visual and mucosal epithelium and other physiological functions, has obvious promotion effect on the formation and improvement of vision, is one of nutrients necessary for human body, and is an essential micronutrient in the growth and development process of children. Vitamin A and its analogues have the effect of preventing precancerous lesions. The lack of the ability to adapt to darkness is manifested as growth retardation, and night blindness.
Vitamin A can be extracted from animal tissues, but resources are relatively dispersed, the steps are complicated, and the cost is high, so that the commercial vitamin A is a chemical synthesis product. It is widely used in medicines, nutritional health products, cosmetics, feed additives, etc. Vitamin a (VAc) currently on the market refers to vitamin a acetate.
Many chemists have therefore focused on the synthesis of vitamin a and its derivatives. There are three main processes currently available in the art for isomerising the 11-cis isomer of vitamin a acetate to all-trans vitamin a acetate: iodine catalysis, photocatalysis, and metal catalysis. However, all three methods have certain defects and shortcomings, wherein iodized salt (CN 110204471A) is used as a common iodine catalyst for iodine catalysis, or simple substance iodine is used for catalyzing vitamin A ester (US 3384633A), a large amount of iodine-containing wastewater is generated in the reaction process, and the environmental pollution is serious; the photocatalysis, namely the photoinduction method, needs to add a photosensitizer, and the photosensitizer can cause damage to VAc to a certain extent during the reaction, so that the purity of the product is reduced. And after the reaction reaches equilibrium, the difficulty of removing the photosensitizer by post-treatment is great, and the residual photosensitizer causes pollution of the product (US 03838029). Photosensitizers are typically iodine-or bromine-containing, nitro-containing luciferins that have the adverse effect of carcinogenic mutagenesis on various biological species; the metal catalysis is that the metal iodide (CN 109731612A) can only carry out isomer conversion in a Wittig reaction system, but can not carry out conversion of related vitamin A acetate isomer after the metal iodide is separated from the Wittig reaction system, and can not carry out conversion of cis-isomer in mother liquor after crystallization and separation of the vitamin A acetate. The method also has the problems of low comprehensive utilization, high cost and complex post-treatment steps, is easy to pollute the environment, and still can generate about 20-30% of 11-cis isomer when the all-trans vitamin A acetate product is produced by the Wittig method.
