Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of an ester, in particular to a method for preparing a cyclic ester by a one-step method.
Background
Polylactic acid, also called as polylactide, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as a main raw material, and is a novel biodegradable material. The production process of high molecular weight polylactic acid generally includes: lactic acid is dehydrated and condensed to generate lactic acid oligomer, the lactic acid oligomer is catalytically cracked to generate crude lactide, the crude lactide is purified to obtain polymer-grade lactide, and finally, the ring-opening polymerization reaction of the lactide is utilized to obtain the polylactic acid with high molecular weight.
Lactide (C) 6 H 8 O 4 ) White needle-like, with a melting point of 93-95 deg.C, a boiling point of 260 deg.C, a molecular weight of 144, and is easily soluble in chloroform, ethanol, and insoluble in water, and is an intermediate for preparing polylactic acid. The traditional lactide is mainly prepared by a two-step method, lactic acid is dehydrated to generate an oligomer, and the oligomer is subjected to cleavage cyclization to generate lactide. However, the traditional lactide preparation method has high energy consumption, low selectivity, high separation and purification difficulty and high manufacturing cost of lactide and polylactic acid, and a large amount of racemization products are generated. Wherein lactide is used as an intermediate for synthesizing polylactic acid, and the purity of the lactide directly influences the performance of the final polylactic acid product. Therefore, how to obtain high-purity lactide in an economically reasonable manner is a key technical means in the polylactic acid production process.
