A method for preparing 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione by continuous efficient oxidation

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for continuously and efficiently preparing 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione by oxidation, comprising: (1) reacting a raw material liquid with an oxygen-containing gas in a jet mixing manner to obtain a reaction liquid; (2) performing gas-liquid separation on the reaction liquid, adjusting the temperature of a liquid phase, and then reacting the liquid phase with an oxygen-containing gas in a jet mixing manner to obtain a reaction liquid, the oxygen-containing gas in step (2) being a gas phase obtained by the gas-liquid separation or a newly prepared gas; and (3) repeating the process of step (2) until reaction is complete so as to obtain a 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione product liquid. The raw material liquid contains a catalyst, a reaction raw material, and a solvent. By means of gas and liquid jet mixing, the mixing effect of the reaction liquid, the gas, and the catalyst is greatly superior to that of a mechanical stirring reactor, where bubbles are more uniformly dispersed and sufficiently contact, thereby achieving an ideal mass transfer effect and accelerating reaction.

[0003] Due to the importance of 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione in chemical and pharmaceutical fields, 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclo Oxidation of hexen-1-one or 3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-one to 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione It has always been a research hotspot in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering, especially for the oxidati...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional mechanical stirring reactor has a slow stirring speed, which limits the degree of gas-liquid mixing in the reactor, and the mass transfer effect is general; at the same time, for the traditional reactor with agitator, its internal heat transfer area is limited. , the removal of oxidation reaction heat is not timely enough, which is an important reason for side reactions; moreover, the stirred reactor contains stirring parts, which have certain restrictions on sealing performance, and are not suitable for high-pressure reactions; there is still a reaction time in actual production Long, there are problems such as tail gas formation and solvent entrainment loss

[0011] Zhang Qin et al. (Zhejiang Chemical Industry, 2014, 5, 17-19) studied the oxidation reaction of the isomer 3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-one, using the spray oxidation reaction method, the amount of catalyst, temperature and oxygen content, etc. have been studied. The reaction has good mass transfer and heat transfer effects, but because the yield is lower than 80%, this method is used to synthesize 2,6,6-trimethyl-2 -Cyclohexene-1,4-dione can not meet the requirements of industrialization
