Description

Method for preparing styrene oxide through benzene glycol cyclization
Technical Field
The invention relates to an organic synthesis method, in particular to a method for preparing styrene oxide by cyclizing benzene glycol.
Background
Styrene oxide (styrene oxide), also known as styrene oxide, is an important organic synthesis intermediate and is widely applied to organic synthesis, pharmaceutical preparation, perfume production and the like; can be used as epoxy resin diluent, UV-absorbent, flavoring agent, etc., such as beta-phenylethyl alcohol prepared by hydrogenation of styrene oxide is the main component of oleum Rosae Rugosae, oleum Caryophylli, and neroli oil, and can be widely used in preparing food, tobacco, and cosmetic essence; the oxirane is also an important intermediate for synthesizing levamisole hydrochloride, which is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug used by both human and animals. Because the market price of the styrene oxide is high and the market demand is increased year by year in recent years, the synthesis research of the styrene oxide is of great significance.
At present, the main synthesis process of styrene oxide is a halogen alcohol method, and styrene and sodium bromide are generally used as raw materials, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant, and the styrene oxide is prepared by bromine alcoholization and oil phase separation under an acidic environment and then by saponification reaction under an alkaline condition. The process is simple to operate and low in cost, but can generate a large amount of high-salinity wastewater.
In recent years, a large number of reports have been made on a method for producing styrene oxide by selective oxidation of styrene as a raw material with a novel oxygen source under the action of a specific catalyst.
Patent CN101463020A discloses a method for synthesizing styrene oxide by directly oxidizing styrene, which uses Ag- γ -ZrP as a catalyst, acetonitrile as a solvent, tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxygen source, the reaction temperature is 70-90 ℃, the conversion rate of styrene is 92%, and the selectivity of styrene oxide is 96%. But the catalyst is difficult to prepare and expensive, so the process cost is high, and the large-scale production has certain difficulty.
Patent CN101434587A provides an oxygen oxidation process. Styrene, hydrogen, oxygen, a catalyst and a solvent are mixed into a heterogeneous system for reaction at a certain temperature (0-180 ℃) and pressure (0.1-3.0 MPa), wherein the catalyst is a microporous titanium silicon material, but the preparation process is complicated, the conversion rate of the styrene is low (less than 20 percent), and the industrial production is difficult.
CN1557553A uses MCM series molecular sieve as catalyst, H 2 O 2 As an oxidant, the conversion rate of styrene and the selectivity of styrene oxide respectively reach 40 percent and 60 percent. Due to the acidic action of the molecular sieve catalyst, the ring opening phenomenon of the styrene oxide is serious, and the industrial requirement cannot be met at present.
In conclusion, molecular oxygen is used as an oxygen source, the temperature of the styrene epoxidation reaction is high, the catalyst is difficult to prepare and expensive, and the reaction conversion rate is low; other peroxides are used as oxygen sources, and catalytic reaction is carried out by catalysts such as sulfuric acid and the like, or equipment corrosion and environmental pollution exist; or in an acid environment, the polymerization of styrene and the ring-opening property of styrene oxide lead to poor product selectivity; or the explosion risk brought by peroxide is higher.
