Problems solved by technology

[0003]The industrialized condensation process of tocopherol is generally under anhydrous conditions, in the catalytic system of zinc halide and hydrogen halide, from 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone and Isophytol condensation requires a large amount of zinc halide to be consumed in the reaction process, and it is difficult to reuse and the conversion rate is low. There are by-products 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diacetate, a Byproducts such as acetate and incomplete closure of the color ring seriously affect the yield and quality of the synthesis
There is also the synthesis of vitamin E acetate with 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diacetate under the action of zinc bromide and hydrogen bromide catalysts in industrial production. The reaction system is also an anhydrous environment, and the repeated use of zinc bromide consumes a lot of energy
In addition, polyperfluoroalkene sulfonic acid is used as a catalyst to synthesize tocopherol in benzene or toluene organic solvents. The catalyst is expensive to use, and the solvent is generally poisonous and harmful.
There are also patent reports that the condensation and esterification steps are carried out at the same time, and a small amount of water is introduced, the yield and product quality are improved, but at the same time, there are also problems such as high energy consumption of zinc chloride, and difficult removal of pigments and impurities in the aqueous phase.

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of vitamin E acetate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking linear chain type organic amine, zinc halide and hydrogen halide as catalysts, reacting 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone with isophytol to generate tocopherol; and taking the tocopherol and acetic anhydride to have an esterification reaction to obtain the vitamin E acetate. The preparation method is simple in steps and moderate in conditions; the catalyst can be repeatedly utilized and few byproducts are generated; the purity and the yield of the product are higher than those of the product obtained by adopting the prior art and the preparation method is suitable for popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of vitamin E acetate, which belongs to the field of organic synthesis. Background technique [0002] The main commercial form of vitamin E is vitamin E acetate and other derivatives, which are mainly produced synthetically from tocopherol. The industrial synthesis of tocopherol is based on the condensation of trimethylhydroquinone and isophytol, phytol or its derivatives. react as figure 1 shown. [0003] The industrial condensation process of tocopherol is generally condensed by 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone and isophytic alcohol in a zinc halide and hydrogen halide catalytic system under anhydrous conditions. A large amount of zinc halide is consumed during the reaction process. Moreover, it is difficult to reuse, and the conversion rate is low. There are by-products such as 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diacetate, monoacetate, and incomplete closure of the color ring in the generated vitamin E acetate, ...
