Description

Method for preparing 2-methyl furan from biomass raw material
Technical Field
The application relates to a novel method for preparing 2-methyl furan by catalytically converting biomass raw materials. In particular, hemicellulose can be converted into 2-methyl furan in one step under a high-concentration brine/organic extractant system. The yield can reach 82 percent at most
Background
2-methyl furan is an important organic synthesis intermediate and has wide application prospect. Can be used for preparing various medicines, such as antibiotics, analgesics, antitumor medicines, etc. In addition, 2-methyl furan can also be used as an additive in the fields of foods, fragrances, dyes and the like, so that the 2-methyl furan has important significance in the research of efficient, economic and green synthesis methods. In the traditional 2-methyl furan synthesis method, sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, 2-methyl-2-butanol and formaldehyde are used as raw materials, esterification reaction is carried out under the heating condition, and then dehydration and cyclization are carried out to obtain the 2-methyl furan. However, this method has problems of complicated operation, severe reaction conditions, difficulty in purifying the product, and the like. Therefore, researchers seek to develop a simple, efficient and environment-friendly method for synthesizing 2-methylfuran to solve the problems of the existing methods.
The biomass energy is widely distributed and has low cost. The exploitation and utilization of fossil energy has in recent years increasingly highlighted environmental impact compared to biomass energy. Research on the preparation of 2-methylfuran using biomass energy has become a hotspot in research in the field of biomass energy today. So far, the preparation of 2-methylfuran is mostly prepared by selective hydrogenation of furfural. In recent years, the price of furfural is higher and higher, and the furfural is not easy to preserve and is easy to form furoic acid. Therefore, optimizing the raw materials for preparing 2-methylfuran, and researching a new production process is very necessary. Hemicellulose is one of the three major components of lignocellulose, mainly C 5 The sugar is formed by connecting glycosidic bonds. Through research in recent years, authors in scientific research have found that hemicellulose is very easy to extract from lignocellulosic species, and can be present in the extract in the form of xylose and is easy to preserve. Compared with furfural, the extraction process of xylose is more green. It is reported in the literature that xylose can be extracted from lignocellulosic species using a gamma valerolactone/water/low co-solvent system under reaction conditions of 120 ℃. Therefore, it is necessary to study a process for preparing 2-methylfuran from xylose as a raw material.

Detailed Description
Examples 1 to 3
The Pd/C catalyst is used for the conversion experiment of xylan, xylose and arabinose. 0.3g of reaction substrate was charged into the reaction vessel, and 20mL of 70wt.% NaBr solution and 20mL of toluene were added. Hydrogen gas was introduced into the autoclave at 3MPa, and the mixture was reacted at 160℃and 500rpm for 4 hours. The reaction results are shown below.
TABLE 1 preparation of 2-methylfuran by catalytic conversion of xylose with different reaction substrates
Reaction conditions: 160 ℃ and 500rpm reaction for 4 hours
Under the reaction conditions, xylan, xylose and arabinose all produced methyl furan as described in table 1. Wherein cyclopentanone is the major byproduct. As shown in the reaction scheme 1, the method is a reaction scheme for preparing 2-methyl furan by catalytic conversion of xylose. The reaction steps are as follows: 1 xylose undergoes isomerization reaction to generate xylulose; 2, carrying out dehydration reaction on xylulose to generate furfural; furfurol is generated by furfural under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst. After the xylose produces furfuryl alcohol, the reaction route is divided into the following three steps: 1) Furfuryl alcohol is directly hydrogenated to generate tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol; 2) Hydrodechlorination of furfuryl alcohol to 2-methylfuran (target product); 3) Furfuryl alcohol is dehydrated and hydrogenated to produce cyclopentanone.
Under the reaction system, since the hydrogenation catalyst Pd/C is poisoned by Br in a high-concentration NaBr solution, the transition hydrogenation reaction hardly occurs to produce tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. However, the isomerisation dehydration and the rehydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol still form a competitive relationship with the aggressive dechlorination, and cyclopentanone is a major byproduct.
Reaction route 1. Reaction route for preparing dimethylfuran by catalytic conversion of xylose
Examples 4 to 9
The xylose conversion experiments were performed with Pd/C catalyst. 0.3g of the reaction substrate was charged into the reaction vessel, and 20mL of NaBr solution and 20mL of toluene were added. Hydrogen gas was introduced into the autoclave at 3MPa, and the mixture was reacted at 160℃and 500rpm for 4 hours. The reaction results are shown below.
TABLE 2 preparation of 2-methylfuran by catalytic conversion of xylose at different NaBr concentrations [a]
Reaction conditions: 160 ℃ and 500rpm reaction for 4 hours
As shown in Table 2, when the brine concentration was 20wt.%, the product selectivity was poor, and the main products were 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, 2-methylfuran, cyclopentanone, cyclopentanol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, and xylitol.
In this reaction, the Br in the high concentration NaBr solution acts mainly at the following two points: 1) Facilitating isomerisation of the compound, e.g. isomerisation of xylose to xylulose and isomerisation of furfuryl alcohol to hydroxycyclopentenone; 2) And (3) properly poisoning the catalyst and preventing the transition hydrogenation to products such as 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, xylitol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and the like. As shown in scheme 1, pd/C will over-hydrogenate the substrate to xylitol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and cyclopentanol when the concentration of NaBr is too low. Meanwhile, part of furfuryl alcohol which is not subjected to transitional hydrogenation is used as an intermediate and is converted into cyclopentanone and 2-methyl furan. In the reaction system, the isomerization and dehydration, the hydrogenation and the hydrodechlorination of furfuryl alcohol form a competitive relationship. When the halogen ion content was low, the results were shown in example 5 and example 6. Furfuryl alcohol isomerically dehydrates and then hydrogenates to form cyclopentanone. As the concentration of NaBr increases gradually, hydrodechlorination becomes the dominant reaction. This is also why the preparation of 2-methylfuran requires high concentrations of brine in this patent.
Examples 10 to 12
The solubility of NaBr, KCl and KBr in water at 20℃was 90.5g/100mL, 31.5g/100mL and 75.0g/100mL, respectively. The solubility of KCl in water at 100℃can reach 56.7g/100mL. Examples according to the above properties are as follows. The xylose conversion experiments were performed with Pd/C catalyst. 0.3g of the reaction substrate was charged into the reaction vessel, 20mL of distilled water and appropriate amounts of NaBr, KCl and KBr were added, a brine concentration of 50wt.% was required, and then 20mL of toluene was added. Hydrogen gas was introduced into the autoclave at 3MPa, and the mixture was reacted at 160℃and 500rpm for 4 hours. The reaction results are shown below.

As shown in table 3, naBr, KCl, KBr all produced 2-methylfuran by catalytic conversion of xylose. The species of the halogen ion are not significantly different in the reaction system. Halogen ions of sufficiently high concentration appear to be an important indicator to facilitate hydrodechlorination reactions. While inhibiting the conversion of xylose to cyclopentanone.

Taking Al 2 O 3 1g was added to a beaker; then 0.017g of AuCl was added to another beaker 3 0.493g Ni (NO) 3 ) 26 H 2 O. Adding a certain amount of water to mix the two salts into a uniform solution, and then pouring the solution into a container filled with Al 2 O 3 Is impregnated in equal amounts in the beaker. And placing the sample in a cool and windless place for standing for 24 hours, and then placing the sample in an oven for drying. After the sample is dried, roasting the sample for 4 hours at 400 ℃ in an air atmosphere, and then placing the sample into a tube furnace for reduction for 4 hours at 500 ℃ in a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen. After the reduction is completed and the tube furnace is cooled to room temperature, the sample is passivated for 24 hours under the mixed gas of nitrogen and air. The sample is named NiAu/Al 2 O 3 . And PtCu/Al was prepared in the same manner 2 O 3 RuCu/Al 2 O 3 Catalysts, i.e. using Al 2 O 3 As a carrier, the co-impregnated hair was used.
With Pd/C, niAu/Al 2 O 3 The Pt/C catalyst is used for xylose conversion experiments. 0.3g of reaction substrate was charged into the reaction vessel, and 20mL of 70wt.% NaBr solution and 20mL of toluene were added.

TABLE 6 preparation of 2-methylfuran by the catalytic conversion of xylose under different hydrogen pressures
Reaction conditions: 160 ℃ and 500rpm reaction for 4 hours
From the above table, it can be seen that xylose is converted to furfural when the hydrogen pressure is small. As shown in scheme 1, this scheme requires furfuryl alcohol as an intermediate, and therefore requires sufficient hydrogen pressure to promote selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. Furfuryl alcohol is subjected to hydrodechlorination to prepare 2-methylfuran. As is clear from the results of the above table, the optimum pressure was 3MPa.
