The present invention proposes a synthetic method for 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid, the method comprising: (1) adding water and
lithium hydroxide to a reaction vessel, heating and stirring until clarified; (2) adding a
mixed solution containing 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid
diethyl ester and
dimethyl sulfoxide to a container; (3) stirring the reaction solution obtained in the previous step and heating to a predetermined temperature, insulating and stirring for a predetermined time, so as to obtain the 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid. Utilizing the method of the present invention, 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid can be efficiently synthesized, and the product purity is high, the impurities are few, and the yield is high. In the post-
processing process, there is no need to refine with an
organic solvent such as methyl tert-butyl
ether, which is more
environmentally friendly, safe, reduces production costs, simplifies operation, and is suitable for industrialized large-scale production.
