Description

Preparation method of 2,6-dihydroxytoluene
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of 2,6-dihydroxytoluene, belonging to the technical field of organic synthesis.
Background
2,6-dihydroxytoluene, CAS:608-25-3, english name: the 2,6-Dihydroxytoluene contains two meta-phenolic hydroxyl groups and one ortho-methyl group, can be modified differently, has special physicochemical properties, is an important chemical raw material, and has very important application in the chemical field, such as synthetic resin, dyeing, medicines, pesticides, pigments, dyes, hair dyes, agrochemicals, catalysis application, photosensitive materials, explosive and the like. For example, 2,6-dihydroxytoluene and phthalic anhydride undergo a Friedel-crafts reaction to obtain anthraquinone compounds, and then hydroxyl and methyl groups of the anthraquinone compounds are modified to synthesize antitumor drugs of the breviscapine; for example, a series of phenyl porphyrin compounds applied to high polymer materials, molecular targeted drugs, chemical catalysis and the like are synthesized by taking 2,6-dihydroxytoluene as a raw material; derivatives such as 2,6-dihydroxytoluene are also used in a large amount in shampoos, skin care products, and the like.
The literature [ Chemical Science,2015, vol.6, #8, p.4674-4680] uses 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclohexanedione as a raw material, and is obtained by catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of Pd/C, the yield is 92%, the raw material is more expensive than the product, and the cost is too high due to the use of Pd/C as an expensive catalyst. The reaction equation is as follows:
at present, the relatively economical synthesis method comprises the steps of introducing phenolic hydroxyl groups (such as halogen high-temperature hydrolysis CN113698276,2021, A and the like or amino diazotization hydrolysis CN114085132,2022, A) or introducing methyl groups (such as methanol ammonium chloride high-temperature high-pressure methylation reaction CN106554255,2017, A), but the reaction is limited, the selectivity is poor, the yield is low, the purification is difficult, and the requirement on equipment is high.
Patent CN104341275,2016, B reports that 3-chloro-2-methylaniline is adopted as a raw material, one of phenolic hydroxyl groups is introduced by diazotizing and hydrolyzing the amino group, and the other phenolic hydroxyl group is introduced by hydrolyzing halogen with high temperature, so that the yield of the method is relatively high, the purity of the obtained product is high, but in the process of hydrolyzing the halogen with high temperature of 190-200 ℃ and high equipment requirement. The reaction equation is as follows:
in view of the above, it is necessary to provide a new process, which has relatively low reaction temperature, relatively safe operation, stable process, high product purity, and avoids the problems of poor reaction selectivity, high equipment requirement, and the like in the above problems, thereby meeting the increasing market demands.
