Problems solved by technology

This is the current mainstream industrial synthesis method. However, due to the strong activity of sodium, a large amount of hydrogen gas is generated during the production process, the reaction is violent, and the safety hazard is great. The manufacturer frequently occurs large and small fires, although the cost is lower than the epoxy method. , but it is greatly affected by the market price of γ-butyrolactone and metal sodium

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of chemical product preparation, and particularly relates to a synthetic method for alpha-acetyl-gamma-butyrolactone. The synthetic method comprises the steps of carrying out an aldol reaction on ketene dimer and 2-chloroethanol under the effect of a catalyst sodium alkoxide to obtain acetyl chloride ethanol acetate; preparing alpha-acetyl-gamma-butyrolactone: adding a solvent to acetyl chloride ethanol acetate, mixing with stirring, carrying out an intramolecular Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction under the effect of an alkali catalyst, and directly generating alpha-acetyl-gamma-butyrolactone by cyclization. The synthetic method for alpha-acetyl-gamma-butyrolactone can prevent use of dangerous chemical products such as ethylene oxide, metallic sodium and the like and greatly reduce security risks. Besides, the synthetic yield is obviously higher than that of a conventional process, and production cost is significantly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of chemical products, in particular to a synthesis method of α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone. Background technique [0002] There are two main methods for industrially synthesizing α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone (ABL): 1. Epoxy method: Ethyl acetoacetate and ethylene oxide are catalyzed and condensed by liquid alkali in an aqueous phase system. Synthesize sodium butyrolactone, then neutralize with hydrochloric acid, extract with benzene several times, discharge the lower water layer, and concentrate the upper oil layer to obtain the crude product of α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone The crude product is purified by high vacuum to obtain the finished product α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, and the best yield is only 60%. This is the synthetic method commonly used during the 1990s. Due to the low flash point of ethylene oxide, high vapor pressure, difficult transportation, large amount of benzen...
