Abstract

The invention discloses an industrial method for synthesizing 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid through phase transfer, which comprises the following steps of: stirring and mixing 4-Methoxyphenol, sodium hydroxide, a phase transfer catalyst and water, and reacting at normal temperature and normal pressure for 10 to 20 minutes to obtain mixed feed liquid; adding 2-chloro-propanoic acid and an organic phase into the mixed feed liquid, and reacting for 0.5 to 1.5 hours to obtain a product of 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid; regulating the reaction liquid subjected to reaction to be acid byusing HCl or sulfuric acid solution, and standing to separate a water phase and the organic phase; and evaporating organic phase separation liquid to remove a solvent, and performing acid-base recrystallization to obtain the 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid. When the reaction is finished, the yield of the 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid is over 90 percent, the reaction temperature is reduced to 40-60 DEG C, the reaction time is only 0.5 to 1.5 hours, and the content of 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid in the final product is 99.5 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of food science, and in particular relates to a new method for industrially preparing 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propionic acid by using a phase transfer method. Background technique [0002] Sweetness inhibitors are a new class of additives that control or reduce the sweetness of sugary foods by blocking the receptors of sweetness and taste. Many traditional foods in China, such as candied fruit, moon cakes, chocolate, etc., use sucrose as a preservative. While achieving preservation, there is a problem of oversweetness to varying degrees. After using the sweetness inhibitor, it can not only play the functions of antisepsis and texture improvement of sucrose, but also not make the food too sweet and affect the taste. Therefore, the application prospect of sweetness inhibitor is very broad. [0003] Chinese invention patent ZL200510101321.1 has reported an industrial production method of a natural sweetness inhibitor trit...
