Problems solved by technology

Among them, the methylation reaction using catechol and dimethyl sulfate is the most commonly used method in industry, such as patent number 201210405038.8 (a preparation process of veratrole), because dimethyl sulfate is a highly toxic chemical , A little carelessness during use will cause great harm to the human body and the environment
At the same time, sulfuric acid is generated during the reaction, which seriously corrodes the equipment and consumes a large amount of lye, which also increases the difficulty of separation and purification.
Another method is to use catechol to react with sodium hydroxide to generate sodium salt, and then react with methyl chloride under a certain pressure to obtain the finished product, such as Patent No. 201010161432.2 (synthesis method of phthalic dimethyl ether), for the reaction The condition control is relatively strict and the yield is not high
How to solve the problems of the feasibility and ease of operation of industrialized large-scale production, reduce environmental pollution, and reduce production costs are the main research directions at present. Prior to this, the application number of Zhangjiagang Weisheng Biomedicine Co., Ltd. is provided in 2013100826229 A new preparation method of veratrol, but its yield still can not reach 99%

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparing method for veratrole. In the method, catechol and dimethyl carbonate are taken as raw materials and are subjected to reaction under a catalyst condition to produce veratrole. The method comprises the following specific progress: under the temperature condition of 0-5 DEG C, adding catechol and diethyl carbonate into a water solution, starting stirring and adding a catalyst, gradually heating to 100 DEG C, controlling the reaction system at a pH of 8-9 during reaction and then continuing to heat to reflux; after reflux is finished, performing standing and layering, adding liquid caustic soda into the oil phase, and performing washing, so as to obtain crude oil; and at last performing reduced-pressure distilling on the crude oil, so as to obtain a pure product veratrole. The catalyst is benzyltrimethylammonium chloride. The yield of veratrole prepared by the method is as high as 99% or more and the purity is as high as 99.5% or more. Furthermore, the whole manufacturing technique has the characteristics of low cost, environment friendliness and cleanness and safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of chemical drug intermediates, in particular to a preparation method of veratrole. Background technique [0002] Veratrole, also known as o-dimethyl ether, CAS NO. 91-16-7, its chemical name is 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, its molecular formula is C8H10O2, and its molecular weight is 138.16. Colorless liquid or crystal, soluble in ethanol, ether and fatty oil, slightly soluble in water, melting point is 15°C.
