Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing methyl methoxyacetate through carbonylation of formaldehyde, which adopts a carbonyl rhodium catalyst and comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing the carbonyl rhodium catalyst with a solvent methyl tert-butyl ether and / or ethyl tert-butyl ether to obtain a mixture; (2) fully contacting a formaldehyde monomer source substance, CO, organic carboxylic acid and the mixture obtained in the step (1) for carbonylation reaction; after the reaction is finished, separating the solvent and the catalyst to obtain a carbonylation product; and (3) adding methanol into the carbonylation product for esterification reaction to generate methyl methoxyacetate. The method has the characteristics that the catalyst is non-corrosive to reaction equipment, the direct separation of the product and the catalyst and the direct recycling of the catalyst and the solvent are realized, and the energy consumption of the separation process and the production cost are effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a method for synthesizing methyl methoxyacetate by carbonylation of formaldehyde. Background technique [0002] The carbonylation of formaldehyde and its derivatives is an important research direction of C1 chemistry. This route uses formaldehyde and its derivatives from coal, natural gas or biomass as raw materials to produce ethylene glycol, which is one of the important alternatives to the existing ethylene glycol process. Methyl methoxyacetate, one of the carbonylation products, is a very valuable intermediate, which can be used for the dynamic resolution of chiral amine compounds, the synthesis of vitamin B6 and sulfa-5-pyrimidine, etc., and as a catalyst for polymerization reactions Among them, ethylene glycol can also be produced through hydrogenation and hydrolysis. [0003] At present, there are two routes for carbonylation reaction, homogeneous catalysis and hete...
