Embodiment approach

[0031] The present invention relates to a process for the production of α-methylene lactone comprising the steps of producing an enolate intermediate from the lactone and reacting the enolate intermediate with paraformaldehyde in order to obtain α-methylene in high yield The step of base lactone.

[0032] The present invention relates to a process for the production of α-methylene lactone comprising the steps of: (A) the step of producing an enolate intermediate by reacting the lactone with an alkyl formate in the presence of an alkoxide base; and (B) The enolate intermediate is reacted with paraformaldehyde. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the α-methylene lactone of the present invention can be produced by the reaction represented by Reaction Formula 3.

Embodiment 1

[0069] Sodium ethoxide (395 g, 5.81 mol) and 3.5 L of tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvents were placed in a 5 L reactor, and the mixture was stirred at 115 rpm while maintaining the temperature of the reactor at 17°C. Ethyl formate (645 g, 8.72 mol) was quickly placed in the reactor, and γ-butyrolactone (500 g, 5.81 mol) was slowly added dropwise into the reactor over 1 hour and 30 minutes. When γ-butyrolactone is added dropwise to the reactor, the internal temperature of the reactor does not exceed 30°C, and, when γ-butyrolactone is added dropwise under stirring, the internal temperature of the reactor is kept at 17°C for 20 hours . After the reaction was completed, the precipitated compound was filtered using 3 μm filter paper, and washed with THF. The filtered compound was dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C, and α-formyl-γ-butyrolactone sodium salt was synthesized.

Embodiment 2

[0071] α-Formyl-γ-butyrolactone sodium salt was synthesized by the same method as in Example 1, except that the mixture was stirred at a speed of 115 rpm and a filter paper of 1 μm was used for filtration.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-metylene lactone comprising the steps of: (A) preparing an enolate intermediate by reacting lactone with alkyl formate under conditions in which an alcoxide base exists; and (B) reacting the enolate intermediate with paraformaldehyde. The method of the present invention can reduce processing time, can increase yield, and can minimize the contamination of a reactor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a production method of α-methylene lactone. More specifically, the present invention relates to a high-yield production process for α-methylene lactones, comprising the steps of producing an enolate intermediate from the lactone, and reacting the enolate intermediate with paraformaldehyde. Background technique [0002] To date, α-methylene lactones have been the subject of major synthetic research. In particular, α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone in α-methylene lactone is a γ-butyrolactone compound having an outer methylene group; has antitumor activity, antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, and others Biologically active; and is an important compound for the pharmaceutical industry. Copolymers of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone: have excellent heat resistance and transparency, high refractive index, and excellent thermal and light stability; and are considered to be compatible with acrylic or styrene Copolymers of mono...
