Description

Method for preparing 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicine synthesis, and in particular relates to a method for preparing 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile by taking vanillin as a starting material.
Background
The 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile is an important intermediate of medicines and pesticides, and is widely applied to industries such as pesticides, medicines, dyes and the like. The 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile is mainly used for synthesizing medicaments containing thiazole, 2-oxazoline, imidazole, triazole and benzopyrimidine structures, such as quinazoline medicaments for resisting cancer. In addition, in recent years, 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile has also been used for the synthesis of photosensitive materials.
At present, the method for synthesizing 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile mainly comprises the following steps:
(1) Vanillin or 3, 4-dimethoxy benzonitrile is used as a starting material, and reacts with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to form oxime in one step, the oxime is dehydrated at a high temperature to obtain substituted benzonitrile, and the substituted benzonitrile is subjected to lithium bromide demethylation to obtain a target product. The method has higher reaction temperature and longer reaction time, and is not beneficial to industrialization.
(2) Piperonal is used as a starting material or an intermediate, and reacts with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to obtain 3, 4-methylene benzonitrile, and then methylene protection is carried out by aluminum trichloride or hydrochloric acid to obtain a target product. However, the piperonal as the raw material belongs to a first type of chemicals easy to poison, and is not beneficial to industrialization.
(3) The 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile is synthesized by one step by taking 4-oxo-cyclohexane carbonitrile as a starting material and elemental iodine as an oxidant. The method has higher yield, but the price of the initial material and the simple substance iodine is expensive, which is not beneficial to industrialization.
(4) 3, 4-Dihydroxybenzamide is taken as a starting material, and a target product is obtained through dehydration reaction with thionyl chloride. The method has mature process conditions, is relatively suitable for industrialization, but has high raw material price and is not beneficial to the industrialization.
(5) Literature (reaction research of synthesizing protocatechuic aldehyde and 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile by vanillin, zhou Huahua and the like, university of Hebei industry, 2011) also reports that under the action of AlCl 3 and pyridine, alCl 3 firstly attacks phenolic hydroxyl groups in vanillin and forms an Al-O coordination bond with the phenolic hydroxyl groups, pyridine attacks-OCH 3 and forms a five-membered ring coordination bond with Al-O on the ortho position of a benzene ring, so that the strength of the O-CH 3 bond is weakened, H + can attack O-CH 3 to remove-CH 3, and protocatechuic aldehyde is prepared by hydrolysis; then the protocatechuic aldehyde reacts with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid to prepare the 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile. The method shortens the reaction time, improves the production efficiency and reduces the energy consumption. However, the method adopts pyridine with the equivalent weight of 3.2-10 times when preparing protocatechuic aldehyde, the pyridine is expensive, the production cost is increased, and the industrialization is not facilitated.
It can be seen that the method for preparing 3, 4-dihydroxybenzonitrile in the prior art has the problems of difficult raw material source, high price, complex process and the like due to the use of supervision products and drastic drugs as raw materials or intermediates, and is not suitable for industrial production.
