Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to a highly efficient and stable Grignard preparation and its green preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Grignard reagents are key intermediates for building carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis, possessing irreplaceable application value in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and fine chemical synthesis. However, current traditional methods for preparing Grignard reagents suffer from numerous technical shortcomings, failing to meet the demands of modern green chemistry and large-scale production. The solvents used in traditional processes are mostly flammable and toxic, posing high safety risks during production, and direct solvent discharge causes environmental pollution, contradicting the principles of environmentally friendly production.
[0003] Existing magnesium source activation methods are ineffective, failing to completely remove the oxide layer on the magnesium source surface. This leads to difficulties in reaction initiation, incomplete raw material conversion, increased side reactions, and ultimately, low purity of the resulting formulation. Grignard reagents are chemically reactive and readily react with moisture and oxygen in the environment. Traditional processes lack effective stabilization measures, resulting in a rapid decline in activity and poor stability of the formulation during storage, severely limiting its transportation and application.
[0004] Meanwhile, traditional processes do not recycle and reuse solvents, resulting in high raw material consumption and production costs. Existing technologies often use a single stabilizer, offering limited stabilization and failing to simultaneously ensure both long-term storage stability and reactivity of the formulation. The crude control of reaction parameters makes stable, continuous production difficult. The industry has long lacked Grignard formulation preparation technologies that combine high stability, high reactivity, and environmental friendliness, hindering the industrial application and development of Grignard reagents. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, after the stabilization treatment, unreacted magnesium sources are removed by filtration through a 0.22 μm organic filter membrane.
[0013] Preferably, the solvent recovery is carried out by vacuum distillation or vacuum fractionation, with a gauge pressure of 0.09MPa-0.095MPa and a distillation temperature of 90℃-98℃; the recovered solvent is dried by molecular sieve and then recycled.

[0052] The synergistic stabilizer used in this invention is a combination of an amine compound and a hindered phenolic compound. The amine compound is N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, and the hindered phenolic compound is butylated hydroxytoluene or phenothiazine. This combination system achieves a stabilizing effect through the synergistic effect of the two types of substances. The amine compound can complex magnesium ions to inhibit the hydrolysis of Grignard preparations, and the hindered phenolic compound can capture free radicals to inhibit the oxidation of the preparations. A single stabilizer cannot achieve this synergistic stabilizing effect.
[0053] The green composite solvent used in this invention is composed of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and methyl tert-butyl ether. The ratio of this composite solvent is suitable for the dissolution requirements and reaction inertness requirements of the Grignard reaction, and at the same time, it is convenient to achieve the separate recovery and recycling of the two solvents through vacuum fractionation.
[0054] The Grignard reaction of this invention is carried out in a segmented temperature control manner. The reaction temperature and stirring rate are controlled at different stages of the addition of raw materials to match an appropriate dropping speed. After the addition is completed, the reaction is kept at a constant temperature. By precisely controlling the process, side reactions are suppressed, and the purity and reaction uniformity of the Grignard preparation are improved.
[0055] This invention employs ultrasonic activation treatment on the magnesium source, which physically removes the oxide layer on the surface of the magnesium source without the need for chemical acid washing, effectively enhancing the reactivity of the magnesium source and ensuring a stable start-up of the Grignard reaction.
[0056] The solvent recovery method of this invention adopts vacuum distillation or vacuum fractionation, with the vacuum degree being gauge pressure. The recovered solvent is dried by molecular sieve to reduce the water content and can be recycled multiple times, greatly reducing waste emissions.
[0057] Performance test results and analysis: Test items and test methods: (1) Stability test: The Grignard preparations prepared in each example and comparative example were sealed and stored at room temperature 25°C, low temperature 0°C and high temperature 40°C respectively. At 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days of storage, the concentration of the preparation was detected by titration with menthol as titrant and color indicator added. The concentration retention rate was calculated. The concentration retention rate is equal to the concentration after storage divided by the initial concentration multiplied by 100%. The higher the concentration retention rate, the better the stability.
[0058] (2) Reactivity test: Take the same volume and concentration of each example and comparative Grignard preparation and carry out an addition reaction with an equimolar amount of benzaldehyde. The reaction conditions are the same: stir at 25°C under nitrogen protection for 2 hours. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is quenched, extracted, dried, concentrated and purified. The reaction yield is calculated by gas chromatography. The higher the yield, the better the reaction activity.
[0059] (3) Green index test: The solvent recovery rate during the preparation process of each example and comparative example is statistically analyzed. The solvent recovery rate is equal to the solvent recovery amount divided by the solvent input amount multiplied by 100%. The amount of wastewater generated for each kg of Grignard preparation is statistically analyzed. The higher the solvent recovery rate, the less wastewater is discharged, and the better the greenness.
[0060] (4) Purity test: Gas chromatography was used to detect the impurity content of the Grignard preparations of each example and the comparative example. The main impurities were unreacted halogenated hydrocarbons and by-reaction products. The lower the impurity content, the higher the purity.
[0061] (5) Storage period test: The Grignard preparations prepared in each example and comparative example were sealed and stored under inert gas protection at room temperature (25°C). The time it took for the concentration of the preparation to drop to 90% of the initial concentration was recorded. The longer the storage time, the better the stability.
[0062] The test results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0063] Based on the above test results, it can be seen that the highly efficient and stable Grignard formulations prepared in each embodiment of the present invention exhibit excellent performance in terms of stability, reactivity, green indicators, and purity, and are significantly superior to the comparative examples. Regarding stability, the concentration retention rate of each embodiment after 90 days of storage at room temperature (25°C) is no less than 89.5%, and the concentration retention rate after 30 days of storage at high temperature (40°C) is no less than 85.3%, with a storage period exceeding 110 days. The optimal solution in Example 6 achieves a storage period of up to 152 days, while the storage periods of the comparative examples range from a maximum of 118 days to a minimum of 45 days. In particular, the stability of Comparative Examples 2 and 7, which use a single stabilizer, and Comparative Example 3, which does not use ultrasonic activation, is significantly reduced. This fully demonstrates that the amine-hindered phenolic synergistic stabilizer system and ultrasonic activation process used in the present invention can effectively improve the hydrolysis resistance and antioxidant capacity of the Grignard formulation, and extend its storage period.
[0064] Regarding reactivity and purity, the reaction yields of all embodiments were no less than 89.2%, and the impurity content was no more than 1.1%. The optimal solution achieved a reaction yield of 95.0% and an impurity content as low as 0.4%. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 had a reaction yield of only 75.8% and an impurity content as high as 3.8%. Comparative Example 5 showed a significant decrease in both reaction yield and purity due to the magnesium powder usage exceeding the scope of protection of this invention. This indicates that the optimized raw material ratio and segmented temperature control process of this invention can effectively remove the oxide layer on the surface of the magnesium source, reduce the incidence of side reactions, and improve the purity and reaction efficiency of the formulation. Regarding green indicators, the solvent recovery rates of all embodiments were no less than 88.0%, with the optimal solution reaching 91.5%. The wastewater discharge per kg of Grignard formulation prepared was no more than 0.36 L. In contrast, Comparative Examples 1 and 4, which did not employ a solvent recovery process, had a solvent recovery rate of 0% and wastewater discharge exceeding 1.1 L / kg. This fully demonstrates the green and environmentally friendly advantages of the composite green solvent system and solvent recovery process of this invention, aligning with the trend of green chemical development.
[0065] Furthermore, Examples 7 to 9 expanded the types of magnesium source, halogenated hydrocarbon, and synergistic stabilizer, respectively. Their performance indicators were close to those of the optimal scheme in Example 6, indicating that the present invention has a wide range of raw material selection and strong process adaptability, and can adapt to different types of raw materials and production needs. However, in Comparative Example 5, the amount of magnesium powder exceeded the protection scope of the present invention, and all performance indicators showed a significant decline, further verifying the rationality of the protection scope of the raw material ratio of the present invention.
[0066] In summary, this invention effectively solves the problems of poor stability, serious pollution during preparation, low reaction efficiency, and narrow ratio range in existing technologies, and has outstanding substantive features and significant progress.
