Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of green chemistry, in particular to a process for preparing 2-ethyl-2-hexenal by catalyzing the self-condensation of n-butyraldehyde with an acidic ionic liquid. Background technique
[0002] The self-condensation of n-butyraldehyde to prepare 2-ethyl-2-hexenal (that is, octenal) is a typical aldol condensation reaction, which can be carried out under the condition of acid or base catalyst. Due to the strong electronegativity of the oxygen atom, the carbonyl group has an electron-withdrawing inductive effect; in addition, the carbon-hydrogen bond on the α-carbon of the carbonyl group has a σ-π hyperconjugation effect with the carbonyl group. The combined effect of inductive effect and hyperconjugation effect makes the hydrogen on the α-carbon atom active, and the active α-hydrogen can move between the α-carbon and carbonyl oxygen. Therefore, carbonyl compounds exist in a pair of tautomers, ie, keto and eno...
