Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic compound synthesis, and specifically to a synthesis method and application of 1,2 - hexanediol. Background Art
[0002] 1,2 - hexanediol is an important organic compound. As a diol, it has broad application prospects in the chemical industry. It plays a key role in fields such as polymers, surfactants, lubricants, and cosmetics, and is favored due to its good solubility, low toxicity, and moisturizing properties. For example, in the cosmetics industry, 1,2 - hexanediol is often used as a moisturizer and solvent, which can effectively improve the texture and stability of products; in the polymer field, it can participate in synthesis reactions as a monomer or additive. With the progress of technology and the growth of industrial demand, the market demand for 1,2 - hexanediol is increasing day by day. However, the existing synthesis methods still have many deficiencies in terms of efficiency, environmental friendliness, and cost. Therefore, the development of efficient, green, and economical synthesis technologies has become a current research hotspot.
[0003] At present, the synthesis methods of 1,2 - hexanediol mainly include the following: Hydration reaction of olefins. In this method, 1 - hexene or 2 - hexene reacts with water under the action of an acidic catalyst (such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid) to produce 1,2 - hexanediol. This method has a simple process, but it has significant disadvantages: low yield, poor selectivity, and the use of acidic catalysts can cause equipment corrosion and environmental pollution. In addition, a large amount of waste acid is generated during the reaction, increasing the post - treatment cost and environmental protection pressure, which limits its application in large - scale industrial production. Hydrolysis of epoxides. 1,2 - hexanediol can be prepared by the hydrolysis reaction of 1,2 - epoxyhexane. This method is usually carried out under high - temperature and high - pressure conditions and uses strong acids or strong bases as catalysts. Although the reaction principle is clear, the high - temperature and high - pressure conditions increase energy consumption and equipment requirements. At the same time, the use of catalysts brings problems of equipment corrosion and waste liquid treatment. In addition, the preparation process of epoxides themselves is relatively complex, further limiting the industrialization potential of this method. In recent years, the microbial fermentation method has received attention due to its green and environmental - friendly characteristics. Genetically engineered microorganisms are used to ferment and produce 1,2 - hexanediol using renewable resources (such as sugars). However, this technology is still in the laboratory research stage and faces problems such as low production efficiency, difficult product separation, and high costs. These technical bottlenecks make it difficult for the microbial fermentation method to achieve large - scale industrial application. The electrochemical synthesis method has attracted much attention because of its mild reaction conditions and environmental friendliness. Through electrochemical reduction or oxidation reactions, diols can be synthesized at normal temperature and pressure. However, the electrochemical synthesis research on 1,2 - hexanediol is not sufficient, and there are problems such as difficult selection of electrode materials, insufficient optimization of electrolytes, and unclear reaction mechanisms. Nevertheless, the electrochemical method can improve the selectivity and yield of the reaction by precisely controlling the current or voltage, so it has great development potential.
[0004] In the above methods, the electrochemical synthesis method has attracted much attention due to its unique advantages. Compared with traditional methods, electrochemical reactions do not require high temperature and high pressure, reducing energy consumption and equipment costs. At the same time, by optimizing the reaction conditions, the generation of by-products can be effectively reduced. However, the current technology for the electrochemical synthesis of 1,2-hexanediol still faces the following challenges: The performance of the electrode material directly affects the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction. Traditional noble metal electrodes (such as platinum and gold) have high catalytic activity but are costly and not suitable for large-scale industrial applications. In recent years, researchers have tried to use transition metals (such as nickel and copper) or carbon-based materials (such as graphene and carbon nanotubes) as alternatives, but the activity and stability of these materials still need to be further improved. The choice of electrolyte has an important impact on the reaction process and product purity. Common electrolytes such as sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide may trigger side reactions, resulting in a decrease in product purity. Therefore, the development of a special electrolyte system suitable for the synthesis of 1,2-hexanediol has become one of the research focuses. Taking the electrochemical hydrolysis of 1,2-epoxyhexane as an example, its reaction mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Possible pathways include the ring-opening of the epoxy ring, the attack of hydroxide ions, and the adsorption and desorption on the electrode surface. In-depth study of these mechanisms helps to optimize the reaction conditions and improve the yield and selectivity.
[0005] In addition to the improvement of the synthesis method, the performance optimization of 1,2-hexanediol in downstream applications is also of great significance. Especially in the field of fluorescent materials, 1,2-hexanediol is used as a component of fluorescent powders or fluorescent inks due to its low toxicity and good solubility. Fluorescent materials have a wide range of applications in anti-counterfeiting technology, security printing, biological imaging, etc. However, the commonly used solvents or additives in existing fluorescent materials often have problems such as high toxicity and poor stability, limiting their applications in sensitive fields. For example, some organic solvents are prone to decomposition under long-term light irradiation, resulting in a decrease in fluorescent performance; while highly toxic components may pose potential threats to the environment and human health. In contrast, 1,2-hexanediol, as a low-toxic and environmentally friendly compound, can effectively replace traditional solvents and improve the stability and safety of fluorescent materials. For example, adding 1,2-hexanediol to fluorescent inks can not only improve the fluidity and adhesion of the inks but also enhance the dispersion of fluorescent dyes, thereby increasing the fluorescence intensity and durability. However, the current research on the application of 1,2-hexanediol in fluorescent materials is less, and its performance optimization and practical applications still need to be further explored.

Product purity: The purity is only 95 - 98% after conventional distillation, and secondary purification treatment is required. Microbial fermentation method: Efficiency bottleneck: The fermentation cycle is as long as 72 - 96 h, and the space - time yield < 0.5 g / (L·h). Difficult separation: The product concentration in the fermentation broth < 10 g / L, and the extraction energy consumption is 3 times higher than that of the chemical method. Strain degradation: The product yield decreases by 40% after continuous passage 5 times. Electrochemical synthesis method, electrode cost: The traditional Pt electrode accounts for 60% of the equipment investment, and the service life is only 200 - 300 cycles. Electrolyte defect: The sulfuric acid system causes a hydrogen evolution side reaction at the cathode, and the current efficiency < 65%. Mechanism unclear: It is difficult to selectively control the epoxy ring - opening path, and the isomer ratio > 15%. In addition, there are limitations in downstream application technologies: The LD50 of traditional DMF / NMP solvents < 5 g / kg, and the toxicity is reduced by 97% after being replaced by 1,2 - hexanediol. The agglomeration of fluorescent powders leads to a luminous efficiency decay > 30% / month, and the viscosity change rate of the conventional formula > 15% / week, affecting the printing suitability.
