Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of carbon dioxide catalytic conversion and utilization technology, and in particular to a method and catalyst for synthesizing oxazolidinone compounds based on carbon dioxide and alkanolamines, oxazolidinone compounds prepared based on carbon dioxide and alkanolamines, and the application of cerium-based composite oxides in the preparation of oxazolidinone compounds based on carbon dioxide and alkanolamines. Background Technology

[0002] The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the rapid development of antibiotic- and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, seriously threatening the lives and health of patients with infectious diseases. Oxazolidinone antibiotics (such as linezolid and radizolide) are a new class of chemically synthesized antimicrobials following sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones. They exert their antimicrobial effect by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, and their core unit is oxazolidinone. Preparing oxazolidinone antibiotics by reacting carbon dioxide with nitrogen-containing organic matter can not only eliminate the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide but also convert it into high-value-added pharmaceuticals. Theoretically, the cyclization of amino alcohols and carbon dioxide is the simplest, green, and environmentally friendly route for converting carbon dioxide into oxazolidinone compounds. On the one hand, amino alcohols (derived from various amino acids) are readily available, inexpensive, and generally safe ideal chemicals; on the other hand, the cyclization of amino alcohols and carbon dioxide only produces water as a stoichiometric byproduct, making it an ideal green synthetic route. Homogeneous organometallic catalysts, such as electrophilic reagents like trialkylphosphine, high-energy phosphorus compounds, or strong bases like DBU (1,8-diazacyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), trialkylamines, guanidines, and organotitanium complexes, can promote the synthesis of oxazolidinone compounds from carbon dioxide and alkanolamines. However, these methods use large amounts of condenser, leading to a significant increase in cost and generating substantial amounts of waste (such as alkylphosphine oxides), which are difficult to remove from the product. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop reaction systems for the highly selective synthesis of oxazolidinone compounds that are easily separable. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, although not explicitly stated, every point or individual value between the endpoints of the range is included within that range. Therefore, each point or individual value can be used as its own lower or upper limit and combined with any other point or individual value or with other lower or upper limits to form a range not explicitly stated.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

Unless otherwise specified, when a numerical interval refers only to integers within that interval, it includes the two endpoint integers of the numerical range, as well as every integer between the two endpoints, which is equivalent to directly listing every integer.

[0039] The foregoing description of this application is not intended to describe every disclosed implementation or method. Instead, the following description provides more specific examples of exemplary embodiments. Throughout the application, guidance is provided through a series of embodiments that can be used in various combinations. The examples listed are representative only and should not be construed as exhaustive.

[0040] Currently, in the reaction of amino alcohols and carbon dioxide with carboxyl cyclization to oxazolidinone compounds, commonly used catalysts are homogeneous organometallic catalysts such as trialkylphosphine, high-energy phosphorus compounds or strong bases such as DBU (1,8-diazacyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), trialkylamines and guanidines, and organotitanium complexes. Although homogeneous organometallic catalysts can promote the synthesis of oxazolidinone compounds from carbon dioxide and alcoholamines, these catalysts and reactants are usually in the liquid phase. In liquid-phase reactions, they mix with reactants and products, and easily form a large number of byproducts (such as alkylphosphine oxides), making it difficult to remove the catalyst itself and byproducts from the products after the reaction. In view of this, the inventors have proposed the following technical solution.

[0041] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for synthesizing oxazolidinone compounds based on carbon dioxide and alcoholamines, which may include the following step S1:

[0042] S1: Using carbon dioxide and an alcohol amine as raw materials, the alcohol amine reacts with the carbon dioxide under the action of a solid catalyst to generate the oxazolidinone compound; wherein the solid catalyst includes a cerium-based composite oxide, and the reaction process includes liquid-phase carboxylation and cyclization dehydration.

[0043] The preparation method provided in this application employs a specific solid catalyst—cerium-based composite oxide. This catalyst exists in solid form both before and after the reaction, and therefore, compared to traditional homogeneous organometallic catalysts, it is easily separated and removed from the product after the reaction. At the same time, this catalyst also exhibits high selectivity for the reaction of alkanolamines with carbon dioxide, thus enabling alkanolamines to achieve a high conversion rate.

[0044] Therefore, this application utilizes a specific solid catalyst to convert alkanolamines into oxazolidinone compounds. This catalyst is inexpensive and readily available, and the catalyst and product are easily separated. Based on this, the method for preparing oxazolidinone compounds based on alkanolamines provided in this application has high research value and application prospects.

[0052] In some embodiments, the M3' includes Na + , Li + , Ba 2+ or Co x’+ at least one of.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the CeO2 - M2 x2 O y2 , if the molar ratio of Ce to M2 is denoted as Ce / M2, then 0 < Ce / M2 ≤ 1000.

Optionally, 0 < Ce / Zr ≤ 10, and further optionally, 0.25 < Ce / Zr ≤ 4, and particularly optionally 3. Thus, M3' - CeZr x3O2 has high selectivity and catalytic performance, which enables alkanolamines to have a high conversion rate.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first cerium-based composite oxide is CeZr. x1 O2, where the molar ratio of Ce to Zr is denoted as (Ce / Zr)', then 0 < (Ce / Zr)' ≤ 1000. For example, (Ce / Zr)' can be 0.5, 1, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, or any value within the range of these values. It is optional that 0 < (Ce / Zr)' ≤ 10, further optional that 0.25 < (Ce / Zr)' ≤ 4, and particularly optional that 3.

[0061] In some embodiments, the solvent in the solution includes one or more of acetonitrile, water, 1,4-dioxane and mesitylene, with acetonitrile being an option.

[0062] In some embodiments, the reaction may include the following step S10:

[0063] S10: Add the alkanolamine, solvent and solid catalyst to the reactor and seal it. Replace the air in the reactor with high-purity CO2 to remove the residual air.

Alternatively, it can be (200-1300):(34-684), and more preferably (300-1300):(34-684). This facilitates the catalytic performance of the solid catalyst, resulting in a higher conversion rate of the alkanolamine.

[0086] S30: Impregnating a third metal cation M3' onto a first cerium-based composite oxide and / or a second cerium-based composite oxide, thereby binding and loading the third metal cation M3' onto the first cerium-based composite oxide and / or the second cerium-based composite oxide, and obtaining M3'-CeZr through steps such as drying and a second calcination treatment. x3 O2.
