Problems solved by technology

Although 1,2-ethylene glycol can be obtained with a selectivity of 99% through the OMEGA process, one disadvantage of this process is that carbon dioxide has not been effectively utilized, and it is released back to the environment after the reaction
However, the market price of dimethyl carbonate is significantly higher than that of methanol, so this catalytic system obviously does not yet have practical and economic value
In addition, those skilled in the art are well aware that when a metal complex is used as a catalyst, the ligand structure used has a great influence on the catalytic activity of the resulting complex; compound has no catalytic activity

[0139] The preparation method of catalyst of the present invention

[0140] Ruthenium catalyst of the present invention can be prepared by following method:

[0141] Under an inert gas atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, at 60-120°C, 1 equivalent of a ruthenium metal precursor, such as [RuHCl(CO)(PPh 3 ) 3 ], [RuH 2 (CO)(PPh 3 ) 3 ], RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 , [RuCl 2 (C 6 h 6 )] 2 , [RuHCl(PPh 3 ) 3 ], Ru(DMSO) 4 Cl 2 , [Ru(cod)Cl 2 ], [Ru(nbd)Cl 2 ] and 1 to 1.2 equivalents of tridentate aminobisphosphorus ligand reacted in a solvent for 0.5-20h in the system. Wherein said DMSO represents dimethyl sulfoxide, cod represents 1,5-cyclooctadiene, and nbd represents norbornadiene.

[0170]

[0171] Under an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon, add HCl·HN(CH 2 CH 2 PPh 2 ) 2 (1.20g, 2.51mmol), toluene (20mL) and 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until the solids were completely dissolved. The organic phase was separated under inert atmosphere and washed twice with distilled water (2 x 5 mL). The combined aqueous phases were extracted twice with toluene (2 x 10 mL). All organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removing the desiccant by filtration, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure in vacuo to obtain the free aminobisphosphorus ligand crude product. This crude product was dissolved in toluene (18 mL) and RuHCl(CO) (PPh 3 ) 3 (2.28g, 2.39mmol), reflux reaction for 2 hours. After the reaction system was cooled to room temperature, hexane (10 mL) was added...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of organic synthesis. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for the preparation of methanol and diols using ruthenium complexes as catalysts. Background technique [0002] Methanol is the simplest, safest, and easiest to store and transport liquid oxygenated hydrocarbon fuel. It is also an important chemical raw material that can replace petroleum. It can be used to synthesize a variety of products, such as methanol to olefins (MTO), methanol to propylene (MTP), methanol to aromatics (MTA), etc. As an important energy carrier, methanol is an effective solution to the energy problems caused by the decreasing oil, coal and natural gas resources in the post-oil and gas era [Olah, G.A., Geoppert, A. & Surya Prakash, G.K. Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy, Wiley-VCH, 2006.]. In recent years, the production scale of methanol has grown rapidly (in 2010, China produced only 38 million t...
