Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of green chemical synthesis of compounds, in particular to a high-yield synthesis process of anisole.
Background
In the traditional method, phenol or phenol containing functional groups is generally used as a raw material, and dimethyl sulfate is used as a methylation reagent to react to obtain anisole products. But dimethyl sulfate (DMS) is a highly toxic substance, and generates a large amount of highly toxic waste water and solid waste, which has serious environmental pollution. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been widely used as a methylating agent nowadays because of its low toxicity and low environmental impact. The methylation process of DMC is adopted, no waste water is generated in the production process, and sodium hydroxide is not used as an acid binding agent in the production process. Saving the production cost, avoiding the use of chloroform, DMS and sodium hydroxide, and belonging to the environment-friendly low-carbon production process.
In the prior art, for example, CN1066317714A discloses a method for synthesizing 2, 6-dimethoxy phenol, pyrogallic acid and dimethyl carbonate are reacted in a micro-reactor, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a reaction catalyst, methanol is used as a solvent, the reaction condition is 110-170 ℃, the reaction pressure is 5MPa, the product yield is 69-92%, the relation between the reaction temperature and the product yield is recorded in 0006 section, and the increase of the reaction temperature has no positive effect on the improvement of the yield and the purity of the reaction product. It can be seen that even if continuous production of the microreactor is realized, the reaction conditions are still more severe, higher reaction pressure is required, the energy consumption is larger, and the product yield is not ideal.
Disclosure of Invention

the quaternary ammonium salt catalyst has the following general formula:
wherein R is 1 -R 4 Each independently is a C2-C7 linear or branched alkane wherein X is one of F, cl, br, I;
the nitrogenous organic base is selected from one or more of 1, 3-dimethyl-2-imidazolone and 1, 3-dimethyl-tetrahydro-2-pyrimidinone.
Further, the quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is selected from one or more of tetraethylammonium iodide, ethyltripropylammonium iodide, tetrapropylammonium iodide, tetrabutylammonium iodide, tetrahexylammonium iodide, tetradecylammonium iodide, tetraethylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium chloride and tetrabutylammonium bromide.
Further, when X in the selected quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is I, the nitrogenous organic base is not added, the selected reaction temperature is 150-170 ℃, and the reaction time is more than 0.5h and not more than 2h; when X in the selected quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is Cl or Br, adding the nitrogenous organic base, wherein the selected reaction temperature is 160-180 ℃ and the reaction time is 1-2 h.
Further, the phenolic compound is selected from one of phenol, o-methylphenol, m-methylphenol, p-methylphenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol.
Further, the molar ratio of the phenolic compound to the dimethyl carbonate to the quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is 1:5-10:0.1; the molar amount of the nitrogen-containing organic base is 3 to 5 times, preferably 3.5 to 4.5 times the molar amount of the phenolic compound.
The decompressed material is a mixture containing the anisole product, and technicians can separate the decompressed material to obtain the purified anisole product, for example, rectification separation and purification can be adopted, and the general process is as follows: and (3) rectifying the decompressed material for the first time: dimethyl carbonate and an alcohol byproduct are obtained at the top of the rectifying tower, and the alcohol byproduct and the dimethyl carbonate can be further rectified and separated for recycling; and (3) carrying out secondary rectification separation on the materials in the tower kettle to obtain an anisole product, a quaternary ammonium salt catalyst or a mixture of the anisole product and the nitrogenous organic base, wherein the quaternary ammonium salt catalyst or the mixture of the quaternary ammonium salt catalyst and the nitrogenous organic base can be recycled. The solvent, the catalyst and the like can be recycled, so that the batch production of the anisole can be realized. The rectification conditions used by different anisole are different, and the materials obtained after the relevant synthesis pressure relief are subjected to the rectification scheme test and the further rectification scheme confirmation according to the boiling point of each material and the computer simulation of rectification.
The beneficial technical effects are as follows:
in order to obtain the anisole, the invention takes phenolic compounds as raw materials, takes dimethyl carbonate as a methylating agent, and adds an iodine-containing quaternary ammonium salt catalyst during synthesis, so that the anisole can be obtained in high yield by self-pressure reaction at a lower temperature (less than or equal to 180 ℃); or a chlorine-containing or bromine-containing quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is adopted during synthesis, and simultaneously a nitrogen-containing organic base (DMI and/or DMPU) is added to play a role in synergistic catalysis, so that the reaction conversion rate and the reaction rate are obviously increased, and the reaction is completed in a short time and high efficiency under the condition of self pressure (the reaction pressure is less than 1.5MPa in the reaction process).
