Problems solved by technology

[0003] The traditional synthesis method of methyl cinnamate is to use cinnamic acid and methanol as raw materials, and carry out esterification reaction under the catalysis of inorganic acid such as concentrated sulfuric acid. However, there are many side reactions and the yield is low, and concentrated sulfuric acid is strongly corrosive It will corrode the equipment, so it is necessary to seek a more green and environmentally friendly process
In the current research on catalysts for the synthesis of cinnamate esters, Wen Ruiming et al. (Synthetic Chemistry, 2001, 9(03): 269) used ammonium ferric sulfate as a catalyst to synthesize cinnamate series esters, which is easy to operate, mild in reaction, and does not corrode equipment, but The amount of alcohol used is large and the reaction time is long; Wang et al. (Bioresource Technology, 2015, 198: 256) used lipase TLIM to catalyze the esterification of cinnamic acid and ethanol to synthesize ethyl cinnamate, and a higher yield could be obtained by using isooctane as the reaction medium. However, the industrial application of enzymes is usually hindered by its poor storage durability, difficulty in recovery and lack of reusability; Chinese patent CN102701973A proposes to prepare a microemulsion after mixing an ionic liquid with water, and then add it to the Palladium chloride solution is prepared into a nano-scale palladium catalyst, and then iodobenzene, methyl acrylate and triethylamine undergo a HECK reaction to prepare methyl cinnamate. The catalyst preparation process of this method is complicated, and the ionic liquid is expensive, which is not conducive to its industrial application
