Problems solved by technology

The current one-step oxidation synthesis method mainly uses trimethylphenol (mostly 2,3,6-trimethylphenol) as raw material, and uses metal salts as catalysts in acetic acid, acetonitrile, ionic liquids and other solvents to catalyze Oxygen (air) or H 2 o 2 The raw material is oxidized to obtain trimethylbenzoquinone, but these methods have the following problems: (1) the solvent used is highly toxic, easily corroded equipment or solvent synthesis steps are many, and the price is high; (2) the catalyst used in most cases is a metal salt, great difficulty in separating

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for catalytic synthesis of 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone. The method comprises the following steps: weighing trimethylphenol and Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst according to a mass ratio of 10:(1-3):1, adding a polar solvent and an oxidant, carrying out a reaction at 30-80 DEG C for 2-6 h, and filtering the obtained reaction product to obtain a filtrate which is the 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone. The Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst having the stability of a traditional catalyst and the also having the characteristics of a micro-mesoporous material selectively catalytically oxidizes 2,3,5-trimethylphenol or 2,3,6-trimethylphenol into the 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone in water, methanol, ethanol, a mixture solvent thereof or other green solvents under the action of H2O2, so the synthesis efficiency is high, and the Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst has no inactivation or collapsing phenomenon after being used multiple times. The method for synthesizing the 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone is a new 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone synthesis method having a high efficiency and an environmental protection property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of vitamin E intermediates, in particular to a method for catalytically synthesizing 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone. Background technique [0002] 2,3,5-Trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ) is an important intermediate for the preparation of vitamin E, and 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone (TMBQ) is an important precursor compound for the synthesis of TMHQ. At present, the methods for synthesizing TMBQ mainly include multi-step reaction synthesis and one-step oxidation synthesis. In the multi-step reaction synthesis method, the most important synthesis method is to obtain the target product after a series of reactions such as sulfonation, nitration, oxidation, etc., using mesitylene as a raw material. This method requires the use of a large amount of acid and produces a large amount of Salt wastewater has serious environmental pollution, and the reaction needs to be strictly controlled at a lower temperature ...
