The modified catalyst is prepared by addition reaction of n-butyl lithium and 1,1-diphenylethylene. The prepared modified catalyst can not only exert the catalytic effect of the "active lithium" thereon, but also has the stability of the benzene ring, thereby avoiding the traditional n-butyl lithium having many side reactions during the catalytic reaction, resulting in a reduced yield of the target product. The functionalized inhibitor contains a phenolic structure, which can not only play an inhibitory role, but also contains multiple benzene ring structures, which can produce π-π interactions with the rigid rings on the modified catalyst, making the modified catalyst and the functionalized inhibitor easier to be removed during post-treatment, thereby further improving the purity and yield of 2,4-dimethylpentanyl-3-yl-methacrylate.

The upper organic layer I was extracted three times with 1.2L water (1200 mL, 4V), and the four aqueous layers were combined. The combined aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane 1 (800 mL, 2.3V), and the mixture was allowed to stand for separation to separate the organic layer II. The organic layers I and II were combined, and the organic layer was dried and concentrated over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distilled (vacuum 184 pa, low temperature 52°C, top temperature 40°C) to obtain the target product 2,4-dimethylpentyl-3-yl-methylacrylate.

[0036] Performance Testing The yield calculation formula is: Yield (%) = (Mole of product (mmol)) / (Mole of fructose (mmol)) × 100%. The purity is determined by the liquid phase area normalization method, and the yield is determined by the standard curve method after characterizing the standard product.

[0037] The high performance liquid chromatography detector used was Hitachi L2000 HPLC System, Alltech C18 column; the mobile phase was 0.5 wt% methanol and trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution, with a mass ratio of 20:80; flow rate: 1.0 mL / min, column temperature: 30°C, detector: DAD, detection wavelength: 284 nm.

[0038] The above-mentioned test method was used to detect the purity and yield of 2,4-dimethylpentyl-3-yl-methacrylate in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 in turn by high performance liquid chromatography. The specific test data are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Yield and purity test of 2,4-dimethylpentyl-3-yl-methacrylate

[0039] Combining Table 1 and Figure 1-2 It can be seen that compared with Example 1-4, the 2,4-dimethylpentyl-3-yl-methacrylate prepared in Example 1-3 has higher purity and yield.

[0040] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
