Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and specifically relates to a method for preparing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] Ethyl linalool, chemical name 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-nonadien-3-ol, is a colorless or light yellow liquid at room temperature with a very fresh floral scent. It has a similar floral scent to linalool, but is more persistent and gentle than linalool. It is favored by perfumers. At present, the usage rate and consumption of daily chemical products are increasing year by year, and it is becoming more and more popular. Ethyl linalool can be used to prepare rose, lily of the valley, tuberose, lilac, vanilla, acacia, orange blossom and other fragrances. Its application is not limited by the type of fragrance, especially suitable for soap or head wax fragrance. Since ethyl linalool has a higher boiling point than linalool, its fragrance retention effect is also better than linalool, and its application will be further expanded in the future. In the production process of ethyl linalool, 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one is a key intermediate, but the synthesis method of this intermediate is currently reported very little, which limits the efficient synthesis of ethyl linalool.

[0004] In the prior art, the most commonly used method for synthesizing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one is the rearrangement reaction of 3-methyl-1-pentene-3-ol. For example, patents WO2018091623A1 and EP3323802A1 use 3-methyl-1-pentene-3-ol and 2-methoxypropylene to undergo Saucy-Marbet rearrangement, remove one molecule of methanol, and obtain 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. It uses phosphate as a catalyst and obtains a yield of 93%. However, the phosphate catalyst used is complex in structure, expensive, and has a high actual application cost. In addition, the method has a long reaction time (more than 10 hours), cumbersome and time-consuming operation, and is not suitable for industrial scale-up production. Patent WO2017097884A1 also uses 3-methyl-1-pentene-3-ol and 2-methoxy as raw materials, and uses triethanolamine phosphate as a catalyst, but only obtains a reaction yield of 25%.

[0005] In addition to the Saucy-Marbet reaction to synthesize 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one, there are also some reports on the use of the Carroll rearrangement reaction to synthesize 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. For example, Pogrebnoi et al. reported using an organic aluminum salt as a catalyst and acetoacetate as a rearrangement reagent to undergo a rearrangement reaction with 3-methyl-1-penten-3-ol, removing a molecule of methanol and carbon dioxide, and finally obtaining 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. The reaction yield was moderate, 78%, but an equivalent amount of methanol and carbon dioxide were also produced as by-products, and the atom economy was average. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, 28, 4893-6).

[0006] In addition to synthesizing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one by rearrangement reaction, the patent CN113979847A of Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd. discloses a method for synthesizing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one by condensation hydrogenation, which uses its homemade 3-methyl-2-pentenal as raw material, first condenses with 2-methoxypropylene or acetone to obtain unsaturated conjugated ketone, and then selectively hydrogenates to obtain 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one. The raw materials 3-methyl-2-pentenal and 2-methoxypropylene used in this method are active in nature, have strict requirements for storage and use, and are relatively high in price, with high cost, especially 3-methyl-2-pentenal market is not easy to purchase. Asymmetric hydrogenation reduction is used in its synthesis reaction, involving hydrogen and pressure, and the selectivity requirements for the catalyst are also high, and the versatility is not strong.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new synthetic route for 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one, starting from low-cost raw materials and efficiently synthesizing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one.

[0076] Example 4

[0077] A method for industrial production of 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one comprises the following steps:

The mixture was cooled to room temperature, 5.3 kg triethylamine was added dropwise to adjust the acidity, the solid was filtered out, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 84 kg of a crude intermediate of 5-chloro-2-pentanone diketal. After negative pressure distillation, 5 batches of crude products were combined and added to a 500 L distillation reactor.

After all the additions were completed, the mixture was kept warm and stirred for 2 h, and then the temperature was raised to 35-40°C, kept warm for 2 h, and then cooled. The temperature of the low-position enamel kettle was controlled to be ≤40°C. 117 kg of 30% dilute sulfuric acid was added dropwise to quench the mixture, and the pH of the system was adjusted to acidic. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was transferred to a heat-insulating kettle. The mixture was heated and kept at 35-38°C. The reaction was continued for 3 h, and then cooled. The pH of the system was adjusted to 7-8 with an aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The solvent was removed under negative pressure. The mixture was extracted three times with 200 kg of dichloromethane, and the lower organic phase was combined and the solvent was removed to obtain 98 kg of a crude product of 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one. Four batches of the crude product were transferred to 500 In the L distillation kettle, negative pressure distillation was carried out by Roots pump, and the qualified fraction 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one at 70-71°C under 15 mmHg was collected, 342.6 kg / batch, with a yield of 94.3%.

It can be seen that the synthetic route of 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one provided by the present invention has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, low cost and high yield.
