Abstract

The present invention discloses a no-catalysis hydrolysis preparation method of benzeneacetic acid with benzyl cyanide in critical water mediator. The method includes the following procedures that: firstly deionized water and benzyl cyanide are added into a high-pressure reactor with the mass ratio of 2:1-8:1, the mixture is agitated openly and the temperature is raised up to boiling point under the normal pressure, then the exhaust valve is kept open for 2-5 minutes; secondly the exhaust valve is kept closed, and the temperature is continuously raised up to 240 DEG C to 310 DEG C for hydrolysis for 1-8 hours; thirdly the hydrolysate is cooled down and crystallized, and crude benzeneacetic acid is obtained; fourthly the crude benzeneacetic acid is decolored with active carbon, secondarily crystallized and dried in vacuum to obtain the product of benzeneacetic acid. The present invention has no need to add any catalyst during the reaction process, thereby solving the puzzle of pollution of catalyzed hydrolyzation of acid and alkali, and having the advantages of simple process, green operation, high purity and high yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to carboxylic acids, in particular to a method for preparing phenylacetic acid by non-catalytic hydrolysis of phenylacetonitrile in a near-critical water medium. Background technique [0002] Phenylacetic acid (CAS No: 103-82-2), also known as phenylacetic acid, has a molecular formula of C8H8O2 and a structural formula of: ), flaky white crystals with plant aroma. Phenylacetic acid is a component of many plants and is commonly found in high boiling fractions of neroli and peppermint oils. [0003] Phenylacetic acid can undergo a typical reaction of carboxyl, methylene hydrogen and benzene ring to generate many useful intermediates. It is an important organic chemical raw material and has a wide range of uses in medicine, industry and agriculture. In the pharmaceutical industry, phenylacetic acid is the precursor for the fermentation of penicillin, and is also used in the preparation of sedative, antidepressant (amitriptyline) ...
