Problems solved by technology

Wherein in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction, cyclopentanone is limited to petrochemical products, and the original source is narrow; Oxidation, due to the high price of organic peroxyacids and the pollution of the environment by the by-product organic acids after the reaction, post-treatment requires a large amount of alkaline reagents such as sodium carbonate, which will undoubtedly increase production costs
In addition, due to the existence of peroxides, if misoperation occurs in the reaction process, it may lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, the preparation of valerolactone by Baeyer-Villiger method has not been widely used in industry.
The method of dehydrogenating δ-valerolactone using 1,5-pentanediol as a raw material needs to be completed under high temperature conditions (300°C), and the by-product n-valeric acid in the reaction product corrodes the reactor and increases the reaction rate. The input cost of equipment and the difficulty of product separation
[0007] It can be seen that the existing methods cannot meet the demand of industrial mass production of high-quality δ-valerolactone
Therefore need to seek a kind of preparation method of the delta-valerolactone that is suitable for industrialized production, be used to solve low product yield in the prior art, raw material source is limited difficult to obtain and expensive and reaction conditions are sensitive and difficult to control, safety factor is low And other issues

Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing delta-valerolactone. The method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out nucleophilic substitution reactions between alkyl acetate representedby the formula (I) and epoxy chloropropane to generate 4,5-epoxy alkyl valerate represented by the formula (III); (2) subjecting 4,5-epoxy alkyl valerate obtained in the step (1) to a hydrogenation treatment to generate 5-alkyl hydroxyl valerate represented by the formula (IV); and (3) making 5-alkyl hydroxyl valerate obtained in the step (2) carry out cyclization reactions to generate delta-valerolactone. The total yield of the method can reach 95% or more. The method has the advantages of cheap and easily available raw materials, little environmental pollution, mild reaction conditions, lowcost, high yield, easy purification, and is suitable for industrial production.
