It is soluble in acidic aqueous solution and appears as a transparent, colorless liquid. 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is not only an important intermediate for the synthesis of imidazole drugs with a wide range of pharmacological activities, but also has significant biological activity itself. It can be used to synthesize imidazole-functionalized polypropyleneimine dendritic structure compounds, and thus has important chemical application value.

[0003] Patent application number 201210037792.0 discloses the following technical scheme: a method for preparing 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, using ethyl acetylglycine as a raw material, and obtaining ethyl 2-mercapto-4-imidazolecarboxylate through cyclization with potassium thiocyanate; using a catalyst to catalyze oxidation to remove the mercapto group, obtaining ethyl imidazole-4-carboxylate without mercapto group, and then hydrolyzing to obtain the target compound 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid. In the above scheme, ethyl 2-mercapto-4-imidazolecarboxylate contains sulfur, and catalyst poisoning is easily caused when using catalytic hydrogenation reduction to remove the mercapto group. A large amount of catalyst is required to complete the reaction, which increases the reaction cost.

The present invention has a high yield and a low cost. The above reaction also involves a desulfhydrylation process, and a large amount of waste liquid is generated during the reaction, and there are problems such as many side reactions, poor safety, and high cost.

[0013] (3) Post-processing:

[0014] Deionized water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was stirred and washed. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The reaction solution was filtered, and the precipitate was washed and dried to obtain the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid.

[0015] Preferably, in step (1), the concentration of the glucose solution is 0.001-0.01 g / ml, and the amount of copper nitrate trihydrate added is 1-3% of the mass of the glucose solution.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the stirring and mixing conditions are: 1000-1500 rpm, room temperature, and 1-3 h.

[0017] Preferably, in step (1), the reaction conditions are 120° C. and 10-20 h.

[0018] Preferably, in step (1), the primary calcination temperature is 250° C., the heating rate during calcination is 3-5° C. / min, and the calcination time is 1-2 h.

The process is simple, the conditions are mild, and there are few side reactions. With the addition of less catalyst, the yield of the product is as high as more than 95%.

[0028] 2. The supported copper-based catalyst prepared by the present invention uses porous activated carbon as a carrier and cupric oxide and cuprous chloride as catalytic active components, which greatly improves the dispersibility of active components. In the above-mentioned catalyst, cuprous chloride can provide electrons in the reaction and promote the activation of reactants. In the decarboxylation reaction, the presence of cuprous chloride helps to reduce the energy barrier of the reaction and accelerates the occurrence of decarboxylation. Cupric oxide, as a catalyst, has excellent oxidizing ability and can promote the oxidation process of the reaction intermediate. With the assistance of cuprous chloride, cupric oxide can effectively capture the intermediate generated in the reaction, thereby further improving the selectivity of the reaction and the yield of the product. And the surface of cupric oxide contains abundant active sites, which helps the adsorption and activation of the reactants. In a word, cuprous chloride and cupric oxide form a good match in the reaction, so that the catalytic reaction is carried out under relatively mild conditions, ensuring the high yield of the product and the safety of the reaction.

[0029] 3. When preparing a supported copper-based catalyst, the present invention first uses glucose as a carbon template and a reducing agent, and uses copper nitrate trihydrate as a copper source, and reacts under certain conditions to obtain porous carbon-supported copper oxide as component A. Then, activated carbon is used as a reducing agent, and copper chloride is used as a precursor material. The process is carried out at a certain temperature, and the copper chloride is reduced to cuprous chloride to obtain component B. Component A and component B are mixed to obtain a catalyst. The catalyst prepared by the present invention has high catalytic activity and good stability, and still has good catalytic activity after multiple cycles. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0076] In order to better verify that the technical solution of the present invention has a better effect, Example 4 is used as a reference and further explained in combination with multiple comparative examples.

[0077] Comparative Example 1

[0078] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that commercially available cuprous chloride and cupric oxide are directly used for compounding, the usage ratio of cuprous chloride and cupric oxide and other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 94.9%.

[0079] Comparative Example 2

[0080] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, the addition amount of copper nitrate trihydrate is 0.5% of the mass of the glucose solution, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4. The target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 90.9%.

[0081] Comparative Example 3

[0082] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, in the preparation of component A, the calcination time is 5 hours, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 88.3%.

[0083] Comparative Example 4

[0084] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, the heating rate in the preparation of component A is 10°C / min, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 90.1%.

[0085] Comparative Example 5

[0086] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, the calcination time in the preparation of component B is 15 hours, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 89.9%.

[0087] Comparative Example 6

[0088] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, the catalyst only includes component A, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 80.5%.

[0089] Comparative Example 7

[0090] Compared with Example 4, the difference is that in step S1, the catalyst only includes component B, and the other conditions are the same as those in Example 4, and the target product 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is obtained with a yield of 51.2%.

[0091] In summary, when preparing the catalyst, the amount of glucose, calcination time, calcination temperature, etc. will affect the activity of the catalyst. If the mass ratio of glucose to copper nitrate trihydrate is too large and the calcination time is too long, more metal will be formed during calcination, the amount of copper oxide or cuprous chloride generated will be reduced, and the catalytic activity of the catalyst will be reduced. The present invention optimizes the above preparation conditions to obtain a catalyst with high catalytic activity. When used for synthesizing 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, a high yield of the target product can be obtained under relatively mild conditions.

[0092] In order to verify the cyclic stability of the catalyst of the present invention, the supported catalyst prepared in Example 4 was recycled 10 times and then reused in the preparation of 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid. The specific preparation method was the same as that in Example 4, and 21.1 g of 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid was obtained, and the product yield was 95.0%. It can be seen that the supported copper-based catalyst prepared by the present invention still has good catalytic activity after being recycled 10 times.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core ideas, including the best mode, and also enable any technician in the field to practice the present invention, including making and using any device or system, and implementing any combined method.
