Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of 2-cyclopentenone. BACKGROUND

[0002] 2-cyclopentenone is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. US20040138505A1 discloses a preparation method of 2-bromocyclopentanone, which uses cyclopentanone as a starting material and liquid bromine as a bromination reagent to obtain 2-bromocyclopentanone, and then uses lithium carbonate and lithium bromide monohydrate as a base to further convert the 2-bromocyclopentanone into a DMF solution of 2-cyclopentenone at 100 DEG C in DMF solvent. However, the patent only obtains a DMF solution of 2-cyclopentenone, and no subsequent purification is reported. In the preparation of alpha-bromoketone, using liquid bromine as a bromination reagent produces a large amount of dibromosubstituted product by-product, which reduces the purity of the product and complicates the post-treatment. In addition, the boiling point of 2-cyclopentenone is similar to that of the solvent DMF, and 2-cyclopentenone is very water-soluble, and cannot be removed by water washing, so it is difficult to completely separate DMF from 2-cyclopentenone, and it is difficult to obtain pure 2-cyclopentenone.

The petroleum ether phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a light yellow liquid (Compound II) 179.3 g, with a yield of 93.30% and a GC purity of 98.31%.

[0041] Preparation of Compound I: Tetrahydrofuran and water were sequentially added to a four-necked flask, and stirring was started. Then Compound II (153.8 g, 1.2 mol, 1.0 eq) was added in one portion, and p-toluenesulfonic acid (10.3 g, 0.06 mol, 0.05 eq) was added at an internal temperature of 25 °C. The reaction was continued to stir for 2 h. After the reaction was completed, 15 g of sodium carbonate solid was added to the reaction solution, and stirred for 20 min. The pH was measured to be >7. The reaction solution was distilled under reduced pressure to distill most of the tetrahydrofuran. Then the crude product was poured into a separatory funnel, and 200 mL of water and 600 mL of dichloromethane were added. The aqueous phase was extracted with 400 mL of dichloromethane once. The dichloromethane phases were combined and washed with 100 mL of saturated NaCl solution once. The dichloromethane phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless transparent liquid (Compound I) 94.9 g, with a yield of 96.33% and a GC purity of 98.38%.
