Description

The method of ionic liquid-catalyzed manufacturing lactide
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for ionic liquid-catalyzed manufacturing lactide, belong to the organic synthesis field.
Background technology
The structure of the lactide that the present invention relates to is as follows:
R=H,CH 3
Compound is a glycollide when R=H, R=CH 3The time compound be rac-Lactide.In this manual, will in the chemical structural formula of lactide, not show its steric configuration when relating to the steric configuration of lactide, only in narration, replace with words such as left-handed, dextrorotation, racemize and mesos.
Lactide is a monomer of making the poly-alpha hydroxy acid of high molecular degradable polyester, generally is that the thermal degradation from oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid obtains.Classical lactide synthetic method, as United States Patent (USP) (US Pat.6277951B1,5374743) and world patent (WO02083661) described: alpha hydroxy acid is placed polycondensation obtains low-molecular-weight poly-alpha hydroxy acid under the effect of certain process conditions and catalyzer, low-molecular-weight poly-alpha hydroxy acid thermo-cracking can be obtained lactide.Yet there is important disadvantages in this method, promptly preparing in the process of lactide in cracking causes material to conduct heat slowly because of reactant viscosity constantly increases easily, system is heated inhomogeneous, and local temperature is too high, and the result causes side reactions such as the decline of lactide productive rate, optical activity lactide generation racemization; If heat for a long time also decomposition reaction might take place, generate materials such as undesirable carbon monoxide, vinylformic acid and aldehyde.
A kind of way that overcomes this situation is to adopt some inert solvents, and therefore for example high boiling alkane, but poisonous, the inflammable often compound of these high boiling solvents make the manufacturing of lactide become dangerous.
Ionic liquid at room temperature claims room temperature fused salt again, is a kind of in room temperature or be bordering on the ionic compound that is in a liquid state under the room temperature.Ionic liquid generally has some particular performances, as the use temperature of lower fusing point, adjustable lewis acidity, negligible vapour pressure, broad and special solvability etc.And ionic liquid at room temperature is easy to reach with reaction product by means such as distillations and separates.In recent ten years, by nitrogen-containing heterocycle compound such as halogenated alkyl pyridine, halogenation 1,3-alkyl imidazole synthetic ionic liquid has received increasing attention as a kind of catalyzer, solvent and heat-transfer medium of cleaning.
Summary of the invention
Problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of method of ionic liquid-catalyzed manufacturing lactide, and this method is safety not only, and can obviously accelerate the speed of polycondensation and depolymerization reaction, reduces the viscosity of reaction system, improves system mass transfer and heat transfer conditions.
Technical scheme provided by the invention is: a kind of method of ionic liquid-catalyzed manufacturing lactide, polycondensation takes place under 50~150 ℃, 1Pa~0.01MPa condition alpha hydroxy acid, and to generate the polymerization degree be 2~30 oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid, under 150~250 ℃, 1Pa~0.01MPa condition, be catalyzer and reaction medium with oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid then, be cracked into lactide with the ionic liquid; The mass ratio of ionic liquid and oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid is 1: 1000~1000: 1.
The polycondensation of above-mentioned alpha hydroxy acid is catalyzer and reaction medium with the ionic liquid, and the mass ratio of ionic liquid and alpha hydroxy acid is 1: 1000~1000: 1.
The present invention uses ionic liquid to be catalyzer and reaction medium, and the thermo-cracking of polycondensation of catalysis alpha hydroxy acid and oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid is made lactide.Ionic liquid is not only catalysts, and serves as reaction medium; The alpha hydroxy acid raw material that adopts is any one in oxyacetic acid, D-lactic acid, dextrolactic acid or the racemic lactic acid; The final lactide of making can be glycollide, levorotatory lactide, dextrorotation rac-Lactide or rac-lactide; Alpha hydroxy acid polycondensation and oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid cracking are all carried out under heating and vacuum decompression condition; Ionic liquid can add in the process of oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid cracking manufacturing lactide, also can add when the alpha hydroxy acid polycondensation becomes oligomeric alpha hydroxy acid.
The ionic liquid that uses among the present invention is made up of positively charged ion and negatively charged ion two portions, and forming ionic liquid cationic can be 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ion [R 1R 3Im], alkyl pyridine ion (Py), quaternary amine ion (NR 4); Forming ionic liquid anionic can be Tetrafluoroboric acid negatively charged ion (BF 4), phosphofluoric acid negatively charged ion (PF 6), trifluoromethane sulfonic acid negatively charged ion (OTf), D-lactic acid negatively charged ion (LLA), dextrolactic acid negatively charged ion (DLA); The alkyl substituent of forming on cationic nitrogen heterocyclic ring and the aminated compounds can be C 1-C 18The alkyl of linear or branching.
This method has the following advantages and positively effect: at first, ionic liquid can obviously be accelerated the speed of polycondensation and depolymerization reaction, and reaction is accomplished at short notice; Secondly, ionic liquid can reduce the viscosity of reaction system, improves system mass transfer and heat transfer conditions; Once more, inflammable, highly toxic ordinary organic solvents that ionic liquid has substituted makes that the lactide manufacturing processed is more efficient, safety.
