Background technology
Ethyl glycolate more and more is subjected to people's attention in recent years as a kind of important chemical material.Contain two kinds of functional groups of a-H and hydroxyl and ester group in the ethyl glycolate molecule, so it has the chemical property of pure and mild ester, as carbonylation, hydrolysis reaction, oxidizing reaction or the like, this just makes that the application of ethyl glycolate is also very extensive.
Its method for making has a lot, can obtain by carboxylic acid, acyl chlorides or acid anhydrides and alcohol reaction, also can be obtained by carboxylate salt and halohydrocarbons reaction, and carboxylic acid and diazomethane reaction produce carboxylate methyl ester; In addition, effect also generates carboxylicesters to cyanogen with alcohol under acidic conditions.
It is as follows that the method for preparing ethyl glycolate of present report is enumerated part:
(1) with boric acid as catalyzer, specifically react as follows:
(2) be raw material system carboxylic ester with carbon monoxide and alcohol, see U.S. Pat 2211625, specifically react as follows:
(3) chloracetic acid and alcohol synthesizing alcohol acid esters under alkaline condition, specifically react as follows:
(4) oxyacetic acid and haloalkane synthesizing alcohol acid esters, specifically react as follows:
(5) by amino acid synthol acid esters, specifically react as follows:
In sum, the method for preparing carboxylic ester has a lot, but some cost of material is more expensive, also uses carbon monoxide sometimes, the very big operation inconvenience of toxicity.In the esterification, the alcohol generation ether that often dewaters causes productive rate to reduce.Sulphuric acid catalysis is used in some reaction, and transformation efficiency is lower, and side reaction is many, and equipment corrosion is serious, pass through aftertreatments such as neutralization, washing, waste liquor contamination environment.
Summary of the invention:
One of purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of synthetic method of ethyl glycolate.
For achieving the above object, the reaction mechanism that the inventive method has adopted is:
Wherein, R is C
1-C
4The straight or branched alkyl, or benzyl.
According to above-mentioned reaction mechanism, the present invention adopts following technical scheme:
A kind of synthetic method of ethyl glycolate, it is characterized in that, this method has following steps: in reaction vessel, with oxyacetic acid and pure mixed in molar ratio of pressing 1: 3, as the band aqua, perfluorinated sulfonic resin is as catalyzer with benzene, in the water trap that reflux is connect to reaction vessel during anhydrous telling, reaction finishes, and can obtain purified ethyl glycolate through normal pressure or underpressure distillation.Above-mentioned alcohol is C
1-C
4Primary alconol or the secondary alcohol or the tertiary alcohol, or benzyl alcohol.
The inventive method is a raw material with the oxyacetic acid that is easy to get and basic alcohol, selects for use perfluorinated sulfonic resin to make catalyzer, excellent catalytic effect, and by product ether significantly reduces, and improves selectivity, reduced atmospheric pollution, so present method is the important method of synthol acid esters.
