Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a medicine intermediate 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diester. The conventional methods are not environment-friendly, or difficultly realize industrial production due to high production cost. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: 1) reacting carboxylic acid anhydride serving as an acylating agent with alpha-isophorone in the presence of a catalyst to obtain the enol isomer esterification product of isophorone; 2) adding a solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a heteropolyacid catalyst and alkali into the enol isomer esterification product, blowing air, and reacting to obtain the monoesterification product of ketoisophorone; and 3) recycling the solvent in the monoesterification product, and reacting in the presence of the carboxylic acid anhydride and the catalyst to obtain the 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diester. By changing the molecular structure of the alpha-isophorone, reaction activity is improved, reaction yield is high, the method is easy and convenient to operate, environment-friendly and low in production cost, and the industrial production is easy to realize.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a drug intermediate, in particular to a method for synthesizing 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diester. Background technique [0002] 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diester and its hydrolysis product 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone are beneficial drug intermediates. More specifically, they are one of the main raw materials of vitamin E. [0003] 2,3,5-Trimethylhydroquinone diester can be prepared by reacting ketoisophorone with acylating agent in the presence of catalyst. Some scholars have proposed some catalysts for this reaction in the past, for example: the concentrated sulfuric acid of inorganic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid of organic acid, strongly acidic ion exchange resin, and Lewis acid etc., see DE2149159, EP-0916642A and EP -1028103A. Other methods basically have the same process as the above operation, that is, the trimethylhydroquinone diester is obtained by the reaction of ketoisophorone and acid anhydride in the presenc...
