Problems solved by technology

[0006] After alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 4-methyl-5-ethoxy-1,3-oxazole-2-carboxylate, distill off ethanol, the product solution obtained at this time basically does not contain organic solvent; then add acid to it to precipitate 5-ethoxy-4-methyl-oxazole-2-carboxylic acid, 5-ethoxy-4-methyl-oxazole-2-carboxylic acid has very low solubility in water, and the reaction proceeds in two phases, The reaction temperature is high (60°C). Once triggered, a large amount of gas will be generated instantly, which will easily cause material flushing and cause danger.
[0007] The 4-methyl-5-ethoxy oxazole generated by the decarboxylation reaction is directly in contact with a strong acidic aqueous solution, and is easily decomposed at 60°C, resulting in low product yield and purity; and the post-treatment requires steam distillation to remove the product from the system After the distillation is completed, the crude product is separated, and then the crude product is extracted with a solvent, dried, and distilled to obtain the product, which consumes a lot of energy and takes a long time

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a key intermediate 4-methyl-5-ethoxazole of vitamin B6 and belongs to the technical field of crude drug preparation. The method for preparing 4-methyl-5-ethoxazole comprises the steps that firstly, 4-methyl-5-ethyoxyl-1,3-oxazole-2-nonanoic acid-ethyl ester, methylbenzene, drinking water and sodium hydroxide are sequentially put into a hydrolysis reaction still according to a certain proportion, and stirring, heat preservation and reacting are carried out; liquid separation is carried out, and the pH value of the water phase is adjusted to rangefrom 1.0 to 2.5; an organic solvent is added to the system obtained in the second step, reacting is carried out by controlling the temperature ranging from 30 DEG C to 50 DEG C until no carbon dioxideis generated; after decarboxylation is finished, the pH value is adjusted to be larger than or equal to 9.0, liquid separation is carried out, the organic phase is subjected to vacuum distillation, and 4-methyl-5-ethoxazole is obtained. The process is easy and safe to operate, and industrial production is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of 4-methyl-5-ethoxyxazole, a key intermediate of vitamin B6, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of raw materials. Background technique [0002] 4-Methyl-5-ethoxyoxazole is one of the main intermediates for the synthesis of vitamin B6. Its production process mainly adopts: 4-methyl-5-ethoxy-1,3-oxazole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester for alkali hydrolysis-acid analysis-decarboxylation-neutralization-distillation. In the prior art, after alkali hydrolysis of ethyl 4-methyl-5-ethoxy-1,3-oxazole-2-carboxylate, the liquid is separated and the water layer is retained. The water layer was distilled off under reduced pressure to remove ethanol, followed by acid analysis and decarboxylation by heating. [0003] Chinese patent CN102321043A discloses that after alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 5-ethoxy-4-methyl-1,3-oxazole-2-carboxylate, the toluene layer is separated, the water layer is retained, and the ...
