Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical catalysis, and in particular to a method for catalyzing oxidative carbonylation of cycloalkanes using metal-based ionic liquids. Background Art

[0002] Due to its special molecular structure and physicochemical properties, cycloalkyl formate is widely used in the fields of medicine, natural product synthesis, pesticides and high-performance materials. Therefore, the synthesis method of cycloalkyl formate has always attracted much attention. At present, cycloalkyl formate is mainly prepared by the esterification reaction of cycloalkanecarboxylic acid and alcohol, which requires the preparation of cycloalkyl carboxylic acid first, and its yield is limited due to the reversibility of the esterification reaction. Another synthesis method is to directly prepare esters by carbonylation reaction of cycloalkyl halide with carbon monoxide and alcohol under noble metal catalysis. This method has the advantage of using cheap carbon monoxide as a C1 source, but the alkyl halide itself has high biological toxicity and its preparation process is complicated. Therefore, directly using cheap and readily available cycloalkane compounds as raw materials, preparing cycloalkyl formate by oxidative carbonylation reaction with carbon monoxide and alcohol has become a very attractive and highly atom-economical method. However, due to the high activation energy of alkanes, C(sp3)-H is difficult to activate, and a highly active oxidant is often required. However, this easily leads to undesirable oxidation reactions of cycloalkanes and alcohols, which in turn seriously affects the selectivity of the oxidative carbonylation reaction. Therefore, the oxidative carbonylation reaction of cycloalkanes and alcohols remains a challenge.

[0003] In recent years, the oxidative carbonylation of alkanes has mainly relied on noble metal catalysts (such as PdCl2), and usually requires the synergistic action of ligands to react. Due to the scarcity of noble metal resources, the development of non-noble metal catalysts is particularly important. Although there are some reports on non-noble metal-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation reactions, the yield of cycloalkyl carboxylate in these reactions has not yet reached the ideal level, with a maximum of only 85%. Therefore, it is urgent to develop more efficient catalysts for the oxidative carbonylation of cycloalkanes and alcohols. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for catalyzing the oxidative carbonylation reaction of cycloalkanes by using metal-based ionic liquids, so as to achieve efficient catalysis of the oxidative carbonylation reaction of cycloalkanes and alcohols with high selectivity to prepare cycloalkyl formate.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for oxidative carbonylation of cycloalkanes catalyzed by metal-based ionic liquids, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Mix metal-based ionic liquid, peroxide, cycloalkane and alcohol, add 0.5-5Mpa carbon monoxide, heat to 90-150°C, react for 2-12h to obtain cycloalkyl formate.

[0007] The amount of the metal-based ionic liquid is 0.1 to 20 mol% of the alcohol, the molar ratio of cycloalkane to alcohol is 20 to 200:1, and the structural formula of the metal-based ionic liquid is any one of (1) to (3):

[0008]

[0009] n is an integer from 0 to 8.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: the invention adopts metal-based ionic liquid to catalyze the oxidative carbonylation reaction of cycloalkane and alcohol to prepare cycloalkyl formate, effectively avoiding the use of noble metal catalysts, overcoming the problem of low activity of non-noble metal catalysts and the problem of using additional organic ligands. Under the catalysis of the metal-based ionic liquid, the raw alcohol is basically reacted completely, and the yield of cycloalkyl formate is significantly improved, and the yield reaches 71.8-99.8%. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0012] The present invention provides a method for oxidative carbonylation of cycloalkanes catalyzed by metal-based ionic liquids, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Mix metal-based ionic liquid, peroxide, cycloalkane and alcohol, add 0.5-5Mpa carbon monoxide, heat to 90-150°C, react for 2-12h to obtain cycloalkyl formate.

[0014] The amount of the metal ionic liquid is 0.1-20 mol% of the alcohol, the molar ratio of cycloalkane to alcohol is 20-200:1, and the structural formula of the metal-based ionic liquid is any one of (1)-(3):

[0015]

[0016] n is an integer from 0 to 8.

[0017] Specifically, the reactor can be a high-pressure reactor with a temperature sensor. The cation in the metal-based ionic liquid is a proton-type imidazolium cation; the anion in the metal-based ionic liquid is [CuCl2] - , [FeCl4] - , [CuCl3] - Any one of .

[0018] Specifically, the cycloalkane is any one of cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane and cyclooctane.

[0019] Specifically, the alcohol is any one of benzyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol, (S)-(-)-1-phenylethyl alcohol, (R)-(+)-1-phenylethyl alcohol, 4-methylbenzyl alcohol, 2-naphthalenemethyl alcohol, and 3-chloro-1-propanol.

[0020] Preferably, the amount of the metal-based ionic liquid is 1-10 mol% of the alcohol, the molar ratio of the cycloalkane to the alcohol is 50-150, and the pressure of the carbon monoxide is 1-2 MPa.

[0021] More preferably, the temperature is heated to 110-130° C. and the reaction is carried out for 4-8 hours.

[0022] Specifically, the peroxide is di-tert-butyl peroxide (DIBP).

[0023] Specifically, the metal ions in the metal-based ionic liquid need to be prepared in two steps: a. Weigh an equal molar amount of n-methylimidazole and 36% hydrochloric acid, add the hydrochloric acid dropwise into the n-methylimidazole, stir and reflux in a 70°C oil bath for 5 hours, and remove excess water by rotary evaporation to obtain a transparent viscous liquid. After the reaction is completed, wash the product with anhydrous ethanol 3 to 5 times to remove the unreacted raw materials, then put it into a vacuum drying oven, and dry it at 80°C for 12 hours to obtain methylimidazole hydrochloride. b. Add a certain amount of methylimidazole hydrochloride to a 20mL glass vial, then add an equal molar amount of anhydrous cuprous chloride or anhydrous ferric chloride or anhydrous cupric chloride, stir at 40°C for 2 hours to obtain a metal-based ionic liquid.

[0024] Preferably, the structural formula of the ionic liquid is (1) and (2),

[0025]

[0026] n is an integer from 0 to 8.

[0027] When the catalyst is an ionic liquid (1) or (2), the monovalent copper ion in (1) and the trivalent iron ion in (2) can coordinate with the alkyl radical activated by the oxidant to form MR, and the carbon monoxide can be inserted into MR on the metal center to form M(=O)-R; the H atom connected to N1 and the H atom connected to C2 in the proton-type imidazolium cation can form a hydrogen bond with the O atom in the alcohol, promoting the activation of the alcohol, and further promoting the alcohol to form the product cycloalkyl formate with M(=O)-R. Therefore, under the synergistic effect of the metal center and the hydrogen-donating group of the cation, cycloalkanes can react with alcohols to form cycloalkyl formate in a highly selective oxidative carbonylation reaction.

[0028] The following specific examples illustrate the method of oxidative carbonylation of cycloalkanes catalyzed by metal-based ionic liquids. The compounds in the following examples can be directly prepared according to existing methods, and of course, in other examples, they can also be directly purchased from the market, but are not limited thereto.
