Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomass resource utilization, and in particular to a method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde. Background Art
[0002] Currently, 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde is typically produced by the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. According to literature, this is achieved by catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural under equivalent alkaline conditions. However, the use of large amounts of alkali is not only costly, but also difficult to treat, prone to equipment damage, and requires complex post-processing, making it unsuitable for industrial production.
[0003] Chinese patent application publication number CN106008416A discloses a method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde, comprising: using 5-hydroxymethylfurfural as a raw material and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O as an oxidant to produce 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde in a water-acetonitrile / non-polar solvent two-phase reaction system. However, in this technical solution, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O are stirred evenly in a mixed solution of acetonitrile and water, and then toluene is added. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 120°C and a stirring speed of 1200 rpm for 1 hour. After the reaction is completed, the phases are separated, and the non-polar solvent phase is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde. 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde is then recrystallized from dichloromethane. This reaction process has a high temperature, high industrial energy consumption, and also affects safety to a certain extent. Therefore, it is not an ideal choice for industrial scale-up production.
[0004] In view of this, in view of the above shortcomings of the existing technology, how to realize the industrialized production of 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In step S1, the ratio of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperazine, and potassium bicarbonate is 30-70:0.3-1:0.4-4. The present invention uses 0.01-0.1 equivalents of potassium bicarbonate as a reaction scheme, which simplifies the post-reaction processing steps, greatly reduces material costs, and simplifies post-processing operations. A further preferred ratio is 50.0:0.62:0.397-3.97, and a most preferred ratio is 50.0:0.62:1.985. At this ratio, the yield of 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde is the highest.
[0013] In step S2, the temperature of the reaction system is between -5°C and 10°C, and sodium hypochlorite is added dropwise.
[0014] In step S3, the temperature of the reaction system is controlled at -5°C to 15°C, and the reaction is stirred for 0.5-3 hours.
[0015] In step S4, the liquid is allowed to stand and separated, and the organic phase is collected, which specifically includes:
[0016] After standing and separating, the lower layer is the organic phase. The upper aqueous phase is discharged and the organic phase is transferred to a reactor. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane 1-3 times and the organic phases are combined.
[0017] In step S5, the drying temperature is 40°C to 50°C.
[0018] Most preferably, the method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde comprises the following steps:
[0019] S1. Add dichloromethane to the reaction vessel, start stirring, and add 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperazine, and potassium bicarbonate to the vessel in sequence;
[0020] S2. Control the temperature between -20°C and 30°C and slowly add sodium hypochlorite;
[0021] S3, after the addition is complete, the reaction system temperature is controlled between 20°C and 20°C, and the reaction is stirred for 0-24 hours;
[0022] S4, after the reaction is completed, the liquid is allowed to stand and separated, the lower organic phase is collected, the upper aqueous phase is released, the organic phase is transferred to a reactor, and the aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane 1-3 times;
