Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject compound hardly containing cyclic and branched diglycerols and polyglycerols by condensing a reaction product of glycerol with a carbonyl compound in the presence of an acid or alkali catalyst. CONSTITUTION:Glycerol is reacted with a carbonyl compound in the presence of an acidic catalyst to provide a compound expressed by the formula (R1 and R2 are H, 1-12C alkyl, aryl or aralkyl). An acid or alkali catalyst in an amount of 0.001-5.0wt.%, preferably 0.5-1.0wt.% is then added to the above- mentioned compound and reaction is carried out while heating and refluxing the reaction mixture and distilling away only the formed water to afford an acetal derivative of diglycerol, which is then placed in an acidic aqueous solution and heated to cleave acetal bonds and form diglycerol. The resultant diglycerol is subsequently neutralized with an alkali, then purified, dehydrated and concentrated to afford high-quality straight-chain diglycerol.

Purity of approximately 80% can be obtained by distilling a composition containing 20 to 30% diglycerin, such as a reaction product in which glycerin is condensed at high temperature under an alkali catalyst or a reaction product in which epihalohydrin is polymerized with sodium hydroxide. This is an inefficient manufacturing method, as the by-product polyglycerin is produced in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of diglycerin produced.

Furthermore, the diglycerin in any of the above compositions contains a large amount of cyclic substances or polyglycerin due to thermal polymerization during the process of making the composition, high reactivity of shrimp halohydrin, etc.

When using diglycerin as a raw material for surfactants such as fatty acid esters, it is known that the higher the content of linear diglycerin, the stronger the surfactant ability. There is a need for fewer of these.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors found that since the condensation reaction when glycerin is used as a starting material proceeds sequentially, - It was discovered that a reaction between diglycerin and glycerin occurs, and that it is impossible to efficiently synthesize diglycerin alone. '), condensed this under an acid or alkali catalyst, and then acid-hydrolyzed it, thereby successfully obtaining diglycerin and completing the present invention.
