Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of catalysis, and specifically relates to a method for catalyzing the oxidation of alcohols, olefins and alkynes with transition metal materials to generate organic carboxylic acid esters Background Art
[0002] Ester compounds are important organic synthesis intermediates and are widely used in the fields of food, organic synthesis, coatings, fragrances, cosmetics, medicine and polymer materials. Therefore, esterification reaction is an important organic chemical reaction as a general way to prepare ester substances. Alcohols, olefins and alkynes are important organic compounds that can be transformed and synthesized into a variety of organic chemicals. Obtaining esters from alcohols, olefins and alkynes through oxidative cleavage and esterification is an effective way to transform and utilize these compounds. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention uses alcohol, olefin and alkyne compounds as substrates, uses ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate as a catalyst, adds solvents and additives, uses oxygen as an oxygen source, introduces a gas pressure of 0.5-2.5MPa (preferably 1.0-2.5MPa), a reaction temperature of 120°C-170°C, and a reaction time of 8-48h to convert alcohol, olefin and alkyne compounds into corresponding esters.
[0004] The amount of catalyst added is equivalent to 1-15 mol% of the molar amount of the substrate.
[0005] The organic solvent is ethanol, methanol, dimethyl carbonate, trimethyl phosphate and trimethyl orthoformate, and the mass ratio of the organic solvent to the substrate is 20:1-200:1.
[0006] The additive is an alkaline inorganic compound, including one or more of potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, cesium carbonate, and potassium phosphate. The mass ratio of the additive to the substrate is 0.01:1-0.1:1.
[0007] The oxygen source is preferably oxygen gas or oxygen in the air, and the pressure is preferably 1.0-2.5 MPa. The system of the present invention has many advantages such as high catalyst activity, wide application range of the method, easy control of reaction conditions, simple post-treatment, etc., and has good application prospects. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The following examples will help to understand the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Example 1 Ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate (5 mol% relative to the raw material), phenylethanol (levorotatory or dextrorotatory), styrene or phenylacetylene (0.25 mmol, raw material), 2 mg additive (potassium carbonate), and 2 g solvent (trimethyl orthoformate) were added to a 25 mL reaction bottle in sequence, and then transferred to a stainless steel high-pressure reactor, filled with oxygen pressure to 2.0 MPa, and the reactor was placed in a 160° C. oil bath. The reaction was stirred at 500 rpm for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the reactor was cooled to room temperature, the reactor was opened, and internal standard biphenyl (15 mg) was added. The qualitative product was detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The conversion rate of the quantitative substrate phenylethanol, styrene, and phenylacetylene and the yield of the product methyl benzoate by gas chromatography internal standard method are shown in Tables 2, 3, and 4 below. Example 2-20 Except for the difference in catalyst dosage, pressure and reaction time, the catalyst activity evaluation is the same as that in Example 1. The reaction substrate is mainly phenylethanol, and the catalyst is ammonium molybdate. The influence of reaction conditions on reaction performance is investigated, and the catalytic reaction results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Table 1 that the catalyst dosage, the amount of solvent, additives, reaction temperature and reaction time have an influence on the catalytic effect. With the increase of reaction temperature (Examples 3, 4 and 13-16), catalyst dosage (Examples 6-8), reaction time (Examples 2 and 3), the amount of solvent (Examples 5 and 6), and the increase of the amount of additives (Examples 17-20), the yield increases. Table 1 Effect of reaction conditions on reaction performance Embodiment 22-65 Except for the different substrates, the evaluation of catalyst activity was the same as in Example 1. The reaction conditions and catalytic reaction results are shown in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4. Alcohol, olefin and alkyne substrates can all undergo oxidative cleavage to generate corresponding organic carboxylic acid ester compounds. Table 2 Oxidative cleavage of alkyne substrates Table 3 Oxidative cleavage of olefinic substrates Table 4 Oxidative cleavage of alcohol substrates The invention has high oxidation efficiency, good selectivity and high product yield; it uses oxygen as an oxygen source, is economical and environmentally friendly, and has good application prospects.
