Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing vanillin from eugenol. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vanillin is one of the largest monomer fragrances in the world, and has a sweet and sweet bean fragrance and a powdery fragrance. It can be used as a fixative, a coordinator and a flavoring agent, and is applied to the cosmetics, daily chemicals, food, beverage and other industries. Vanillin naturally exists in vanilla beans and other plants, has been successfully applied in many fields, and the demand is increasing year by year. The natural source of vanillin is very limited and the price is very high because the vanilla flower pod plant has very high requirements for soil and climate factors, and the fermentation treatment process of natural processing is complex. At present, the vanillin products on the market are mainly derived from chemical synthesis.

[0003] Vanillin can be obtained by chemical synthesis, and the main synthesis methods include safrole synthesis route, guaiacol synthesis route, lignin synthesis route and eugenol synthesis route. The safrole synthesis route has the problems of difficult raw material source, high cost and long synthesis process route, so the safrole synthesis route is rarely used for synthesizing vanillin at present; the guaiacol synthesis route also has the problems of high production cost, complex process route and low yield, which do not meet the green production requirements; the lignin synthesis route has the problems of wide raw material source and convenient operation, but the aroma is not superior; the vanillin produced by the eugenol synthesis route has attractive aroma, is most similar to natural vanillin, is safe for eating, and has high economic value.

[0004] Most of the traditional eugenol synthesis processes use inorganic bases as catalysts. For example, the patent application file with the publication number CN103626643B discloses a preparation method for synthesizing vanillin from natural eugenol. Although the method can efficiently synthesize vanillin from natural eugenol and has high yield, the isomerization reaction in the method uses potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. The catalyst produces by-products during the reaction process, generates a large amount of hazardous waste, has low selectivity of the reaction, and needs to go through a complex post-treatment step. In addition, nitrobenzene is used for oxidation in the process of oxidizing isoeugenol. The process involves a strong oxidation reaction, which may cause peroxidation and the generation of by-products, and further increases the difficulty of product purification.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing vanillin from eugenol to solve the problems existing in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a method for preparing vanillin from eugenol, which can effectively inhibit the occurrence of side reactions and improve the yield and purity of the target product.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing vanillin using eugenol, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Mix and stir the Ni-Mo mixed impregnation solution and the aluminosilicate / carbon-based support, let it stand for aging, heat and evaporate, dry and calcine under inert gas protection to obtain Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material;

[0009] S2. Potassium carbonate was dissolved in water and added dropwise to a g-C3N4 suspension. After stirring and aging by standing, the mixture was filtered, washed, dried, and calcined under inert gas protection to obtain a K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst. Subsequently, eugenol, anhydrous isopropanol, and the K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst were added to a closed high-pressure reactor and heated under nitrogen protection. The mixture was then separated and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain isoeugenol.

[0010] S3. Add isoeugenol, Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water to a sealed pressure-resistant reactor and mix. Add sodium hydroxide solution dropwise and stir. Heat, introduce oxygen, stir and react, cool, separate, adjust pH to acidic, age, filter, wash, add to ethanol aqueous solution, heat and stir, decolorize, filter, recrystallize, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain vanillin.

[0011] This invention employs a K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst for the isomerization reaction of eugenol. K2CO3 supported on the surface and interlayer of g-C3N4 can coordinate / electrostatically interact with the nitrogen-containing sites of the support, forming surface bonds / interactions such as KO-(C / N), thereby constructing a catalyst based on carbonate-related components (CO3). 2- The catalyst contains basic sites, primarily composed of hydroxyl groups (–OH), which enhance the adsorption and activation of eugenol molecules. These basic sites facilitate the deprotonation of eugenol hydroxyl groups and promote allylic rearrangement, thereby increasing the conversion rate of eugenol. Simultaneously, the high specific surface area and porous structure of the g-C3N4 sheets promote the uniform dispersion of K2CO3, resulting in uniform adsorption and orderly contact of eugenol on the surface of the solid base catalyst. This also improves the effective accessibility of the basic sites on the solid base catalyst surface and makes the base strength more suitable, avoiding the coverage or passivation of basic sites by side reactions such as condensation and polymerization caused by excessively strong local bases. This allows eugenol to be converted more along the isomerization pathway while maintaining the catalytic activity of the solid base catalyst, further improving the conversion rate of eugenol.

[0012] The application adopts the impregnation method to prepare the Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material for preparing vanillin by selective oxidation of isoeugenol, thereby improving the yield and purity of the final vanillin. Ni and Mo are mainly dispersed in the aluminosilicate / carbon-based carrier in the oxidation state, and there is a synergistic electronic effect between Ni and Mo, which is conducive to building a stable redox cycle system. Among them, Ni can promote the adsorption and dehydrogenation of isoeugenol molecules, and preferentially activates the side chain allyl position / unsaturated bond related reaction sites; Mo is prone to reversible conversion between Mo 6+ / Mo 5+ / Mo 4+ valence states, which is conducive to activating molecular oxygen to form surface activated adsorbed oxygen (such as O - , O2 - ), thereby participating in the selective oxidation reaction; the electronic interaction between Ni and Mo can adjust the electronic structure of the metal center, so that it can efficiently activate O2 while avoiding excessive oxidation tendency, thereby realizing the directional oxidation of the side chain of isoeugenol, preferentially generating vanillin, and inhibiting further deep oxidation to generate carboxylic acids or CO2 and other deep oxidation products, thereby improving the yield and purity of the final vanillin.

[0013] In addition, the inorganic framework of the aluminosilicate / carbon-based carrier can provide certain Lewis acid sites (Al 3+ ), which is conducive to promoting the directional adsorption and activation of isoeugenol near the metal center. At the same time, the carbon-based carrier contains a porous structure and a π conjugated system, which can enhance the π-π interaction with aromatic substrates, realize the enrichment and directional adsorption of isoeugenol, improve the effective utilization rate of the metal active site, and thereby improve the selectivity and yield of vanillin.

[0014] Optionally, the Ni-Mo mixed impregnation solution is obtained by sequentially adding 0.4-1 mass parts of nickel nitrate hexahydrate and 0.3-0.8 mass parts of ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate to 40-60 volume parts of deionized water and magnetically stirring for 20-40 min.

[0015] Optionally, the aluminosilicate / carbon-based carrier is prepared by mixing 1-1.5 parts by mass of APTES-activated carbon and 150-200 parts by volume of anhydrous ethanol, ultrasonic dispersion for 10-15 min, adding 4.2-6 parts by mass of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and stirring for 10-15 min, adding 2.8-4 parts by volume of di-sec-butoxyaluminoxysilane and continuing to stir for 1-2 h, slowly adding 100-150 parts by volume of deionized water and 20-50 parts by volume of a 0.2 wt%-0.8 wt% sodium hydroxide solution and continuously stirring for 2-4 h, continuing to stir for 3-5 h after the addition is completed, hydrothermal treatment at 90-110°C for 36-48 h in a sealed container, cooling to room temperature, filtering to separate the solid, adding 300-400 parts by volume of anhydrous ethanol and stirring for 2-3 h at 60-80°C to extract, filtering, washing with anhydrous ethanol, and drying at 80-100°C for 8-12 h to obtain.

[0016] The present application uses APTES-activated carbon as a carbon-based carrier, and under the conditions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template and alkali catalysis (provided by a NaOH solution), di-sec-butoxyaluminoxysilane is hydrolyzed and polycondensed, and an aluminosilicate porous framework is formed in situ on the carbon-based surface; this inorganic framework not only improves the structural stability of the carrier under solvent immersion conditions, but also introduces Al-related Lewis acid sites and Si-OH and other surface functional groups, thereby constructing an interface environment that is synergistic with acidic sites, metal anchoring sites, and carbon-based π conjugated adsorption sites, which is more conducive to the uniform infiltration, anchoring, and dispersion of subsequent Ni and Mo precursors, thereby improving the effective utilization rate and cyclic stability of metal active centers. Further, after removing the CTAB template by ethanol extraction, an aluminosilicate / carbon-based carrier with a mesoporous aluminosilicate framework is obtained, and the mesoporous channels formed provide a smooth path for the entry and diffusion of substrates and oxygen inside the carrier, thereby facilitating the adsorption and effective contact of substrates in the pores of the carrier, improving the transfer and diffusion conditions of reactants in the pores, and helping to improve the effective specific surface area and pore accessibility of the carrier and improve the accessibility and uniformity of active sites.

[0018] The present application adopts thionyl chloride to acyl chloride treatment on the surface of activated carbon carboxyl and other oxygen-containing functional groups, introduces the acyl chloride site (such as -COCl) with higher reactivity on the surface of activated carbon, thereby improving the density of the reactive site on the surface of carbon-based carrier, providing active center for the subsequent covalent grafting of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTES), thereby improving the surface functionalization degree of carbon-based carrier, providing more firm interface combination for the in-situ growth of aluminosilicate porous framework and the stable loading of Ni and Mo active components.

[0021] The present application makes K2CO3 uniformly dispersed and firmly loaded on the surface and interlayer of g-C3N4 by impregnation, aging and calcination at 300-350℃ under inert atmosphere; the calcination process can promote K + Electrostatic adsorption / weak coordination occurs with the nitrogen-containing sites of the carrier, and interface interaction such as K-O-(C / N) is formed, thereby constructing CO3 2- The related components are mainly solid basic sites, accompanied by a small amount of surface hydroxyl (-OH), thereby improving the number and accessibility of the basic sites of the solid base catalyst.

[0022] In addition, the g-C3N4 is effectively peeled into a sheet layer by the isopropanol ultrasonic peeling and centrifugal classification process, so that the g-C3N4 has a higher specific surface area and exposes more surface nitrogen-containing basic sites, and then the g-C3N4 is dispersed in an ethanol aqueous solution again, so that a uniform contact interface is provided for subsequent potassium carbonate impregnation, and K2CO3 is uniformly loaded and anchored on the surface and between the layers of the sheet layer.

[0023] Optionally, in the step S2, 45-60 parts by mass of eugenol, 80-120 parts by volume of anhydrous isopropanol, and 2-4 parts by mass of K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst are added into a sealed high-pressure reaction kettle, and then the temperature is increased to 100-120 DEG C under nitrogen protection, and after stirring for 4-6 h, the K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst is separated by filtration and washed with isopropanol for 2-3 times, the filtrates are combined, and isoeugenol is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.

[0030] 2. This invention employs an impregnation method to prepare Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based materials for the selective oxidation of isoeugenol to vanillin. Ni and Mo are mainly dispersed in the oxidized state on the aluminosilicate / carbon-based support, forming synergistic electronic interactions and a stable redox cycle. Ni is beneficial for substrate adsorption / dehydrogenation, while Mo is beneficial for O2 activation and oxygen supply. The two work together to achieve directional oxidation of the isoeugenol side chain, preferentially generating vanillin and inhibiting further deep oxidation to generate carboxylic acids or CO2 and other deep oxidation products, thereby improving the yield and purity of the final vanillin.

[0031] 3. Aluminosilicate / carbon-based supports can provide metal anchoring and interfacial adsorption sites. The carbon-based porous structure and π-π interaction have an enrichment effect on aromatic substrates, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of metal active sites and reduce the selectivity loss caused by diffusion limitation, thereby further improving the selectivity and yield of vanillin and the stability of the catalyst.

[0063] Performance test

[0064] The Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material prepared in Examples 1-5 was tested according to GB / T 19587-2017 Gas Adsorption BET Method for Determining Specific Surface Area of Solid Substances, GB / T 21650.2-2008 Mercury Intrusion Method and Gas Adsorption Method for Determining Pore Size Distribution and Porosity of Solid Materials to obtain the specific surface area, average pore size and total pore volume; the specific test results are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Table 1

[0066]

[0067] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material prepared in Examples 1-5 has a high specific surface area and total pore volume, which provides a basis for achieving a high vanillin yield in the subsequent oxidation step.

[0068] During the test of the above Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the obtained isoeugenol was recorded as an intermediate, and the structural diagram is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 The structural diagram of the finally prepared vanillin is shown in FIG. 2. Figure 1 The content of the intermediate and the purity of the final vanillin sample were detected, and the detection method and related results are as follows:

[0069] I. Purity detection method:

[0070] Instrument: Agilent 1260 high performance liquid chromatograph;

[0071] Mobile phase: 0.1% acetic acid in water: methanol = 45:55;

[0072] Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min;

[0073] Chromatographic column: Capcell PAK C18;

[0074] Column temperature: 40℃;

[0075] Wavelength: 280nm

[0076] Injection volume: 10 μL.

[0077] Solution preparation:

[0078] 1) Accurately weigh 5.00 mg of the intermediate sample into a 10 mL volumetric flask, dissolve with acetonitrile, and then dilute to the mark, shake well to obtain the intermediate sample solution.

[0079] 2) Accurately weigh 5.00 mg of the vanillin sample into a 10 mL volumetric flask, dissolve with acetonitrile, and then dilute to the mark, shake well to obtain the vanillin sample solution.

[0080] II. Yield calculation method:

[0081] Yield = m ;

[0082] Wherein, M R : relative molecular mass of raw material, m R : raw material input mass; m P : actual product output mass, M p : relative molecular mass of product.

[0083] III. Purity calculation method: HPLC area normalization method, the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0084] Purity of sample = ;

[0085] Wherein, C: target peak area, C0: sum of total area of all chromatographic peaks.

[0086] After detecting the intermediates in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-3 and vanillin by high performance liquid chromatography, the data was sorted, and the yield of the intermediates and vanillin samples and the purity of the final vanillin sample were recorded in table 2.

[0087] Table 2

[0088]

[0089] As can be seen from table 2, the yield of the intermediates and vanillin prepared in examples 1-5 is greater than 88%, and the purity of vanillin is more than 99%, which is obviously better than that of comparative examples 1-3; the yield of vanillin in example 3 is the highest, the yield of vanillin can reach 93.8%, and the purity reaches 99.7%, which corresponds to the largest specific surface area and pore volume in table 1, and the liquid chromatogram of the vanillin prepared finally is shown in the attached figure 2. Figure 3 It can be seen that the vanillin prepared in example 3 has no impurity peak and high purity; comparative example 1 uses K2CO3 / isopropanol mixed system instead of K2CO3 / g-C3N4 solid base catalyst, and the yield of isoeugenol and vanillin decreases obviously, and in addition, from the attached figure 3, it can be seen that the vanillin prepared in comparative example 1 has impurity peaks, and the purity is not high. Figure 2The liquid chromatogram of the intermediate (isoeugenol) prepared in Example 3 can also show that in the preparation method of Example 3, eugenol shows a high conversion rate, thereby making the intermediate yield high and having no obvious impurity peaks; in Comparative Example 2, without the Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based material, only under the alkaline condition and oxygen, the autoxidation reaction is difficult to proceed, the yield of vanillin is only 18.5%, and the purity is obviously decreased; in Comparative Example 3, when the aluminosilicate / carbon-based carrier is used without loading Ni-Mo, the yield and purity of vanillin are obviously lower than those in Example 3, which shows that the simple carrier only plays a limited adsorption and mass transfer role and cannot replace the Ni-Mo / aluminosilicate / carbon-based catalytic material. In summary, the final product obtained by using the preparation method of the present application has a high purity and reaches an excellent yield.

[0090] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
