Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide. Background Art

[0002] α-alkyl ketones are a very important class of compounds, showing a wide range of physiological and pharmacological activities, and are commonly used in the production and synthesis of drugs, fragrances, pesticides, etc. They have a large demand, high added value, good market prospects and economic benefits. Therefore, it has important practical significance for the preparation and synthesis of such organic compounds. The traditional method for synthesizing α-alkyl ketones is to use a halogenated hydrocarbon as an alkylating agent to react with a ketone under strong alkaline conditions to produce the corresponding product. However, this method uses highly toxic halogenated hydrocarbons and generates a large amount of waste salts harmful to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more environmentally friendly approach to realize the synthesis of α-alkyl ketones, and the method of using an alcohol as an environmentally friendly alkylating agent to carry out an alkylation reaction with a ketone to prepare α-alkyl ketones has received extensive attention and research. The key to the better development of the α-alkylation reaction of an alcohol and a ketone lies in the research of catalysts. Since homogeneous catalysts have problems such as the need to add complex ligands, difficulty in separation, non-reusability, and high cost, it is very necessary to study more efficient heterogeneous catalysts. Some current heterogeneous catalysts have disadvantages such as the use of precious metals, easy loss of metals, and the use of alkali promoters. Therefore, it has important practical significance to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a preparation method and application of a copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a preparation method of a copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide, and the method is as follows:

[0007] S3. Add the solution B obtained in S2 dropwise to the solution A obtained in S1. After the addition is completed, the pH value of the system is 10 - 12. Stir magnetically for 6 h, then age for 12 h. Filter the precipitate by suction and wash it until neutral, and then dry it at a temperature of 80 °C to obtain a hydrotalcite-like precursor.

[0008] S4. Calcinate the hydrotalcite-like precursor obtained in S3, and cool it naturally to room temperature. After grinding, a copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide is obtained. The calcination conditions are as follows: heat from room temperature to 450 °C - 600 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and keep the temperature constant for 2 h.

[0009] Preferably, the molar ratio of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O, Al(NO3)3·9H2O, and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in S1 is (0.3 - 0.5):2:1:1.

Compared with the precious metal system, it has a low cost and overcomes the disadvantage that the metal in the supported metal catalyst is easy to lose.

It can be seen from the figure that the catalyst presents a granular shape, and the particles have a lamellar structure, which is consistent with the hydrotalcite-like structure of the precursor.

[0036] Comparative Example 1

[0037] The preparation method of the copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide in this comparative example is the same as that in Example 2, except that in step S4, the calcination conditions are heated to 450 °C and 500 °C, and the obtained samples are denoted as CuMgAlZn-Ⅱ-450 and CuMgAlZn-Ⅱ-500, respectively.

[0040] S1. After mixing Cu(NO3)2·3H2O (0.2421 g, 0.001 mol), Mg(NO3)2·6H2O (5.1282 g, 0.02 mol), Al(NO3)3·9H2O (3.7513 g, 0.01 mol) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O (2.9749 g, 0.01 mol) in a molar ratio of 0.1:2:1:1, dissolve them in 100 mL of deionized water to obtain solution A;

[0045] Example 3

[0046] This example is about the application of the copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxides prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 as catalysts for the α-alkylation reaction of alcohol ketones.

[0047] Weigh the catalyst (30 mg), ketone (0.5 mmol), alcohol (0.6 mmol), and toluene (2 - 3 mL) into a dry reaction tube, fill the tube with argon to ensure that the reaction proceeds under an inert atmosphere. After the filling is completed, place it on the reactor for reaction, heat it to 150 °C for 20 hours, and then cool it to room temperature. After the reaction is completed, analyze the results using gas chromatography.

[0048] Using the reaction of acetophenone and benzyl alcohol as a model reaction, the performance of the above-prepared catalysts was tested. The reaction equation is as Figure 2 shown. The main product of the reaction is a (dihydrochalcone), and b (chalcone) is a by-product.

[0049] The reaction was carried out at 150 °C for 20 hours with 30 mg of the catalyst, 3 mL of toluene, and under Ar. All conversion and selectivity data were from uncorrected gas chromatography data (the data in Table 1).

[0050] Table 1 Catalytic performance test results of each catalyst prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0051]

[0052] As can be seen from Table 1, the catalysts CuMgAlZn-I-600, CuMgAlZn-I-550, CuMgAlZn-II-600, and CuMgAlZn-II-550 showed excellent performance in the α-alkylation reaction of acetophenone and benzyl alcohol, with the conversion rate between 79% and 98%, and the selectivity of the target product between 91% and 98%. While the catalysts CuMgAlZn-II-500, CuMgAlZn-II-450, CuMgAlZn-III-600, and CuMgAlZn-III-550 had relatively poor effects, with the conversion rate between 37% and 81%, and the selectivity of the target product between 4% and 68%. The results shown in Table 1 indicate that the activity of the catalyst is affected by both the calcination temperature and the catalyst composition.

[0053] The reaction of acetophenone and benzyl alcohol was catalyzed by CuMgAlZn-I-550, and the isolated yield of product a (dihydrochalcone) was 91%.

[0054] Figure 3 are the XRD patterns of each catalyst involved in Table 1. As can be seen from the figure, the diffraction peaks of all catalysts are relatively broad, which is due to the small particle size or low crystallinity of the catalyst, especially for the catalysts with relatively poor effects. The positions of the diffraction peaks of the catalysts with better catalytic effects are basically the same, indicating that their crystal types are basically the same. Some of the corresponding diffraction peaks of the catalysts with relatively poor catalytic effects have lower intensities, and their crystal forms are slightly different from those of the catalysts with better catalytic effects. Due to the broad diffraction peaks, each diffraction peak may contain the crystal forms of different substances. The substances contained in the more obvious diffraction peaks are as Figure 3 shown.

[0055] The copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide prepared by the present invention is used as a catalyst. It is a non-precious metal oxide. Compared with the precious metal system, it has low cost and overcomes the disadvantage that the metal of the supported metal catalyst is easy to lose. Some existing catalyst systems require additional addition of alkali additives to catalyze the reaction. The catalyst does not need to add alkali additives. The catalyst system has good universality and is suitable for α-alkylation reactions of aromatic and fatty alcohols and ketones.

[0056] The copper-magnesium-aluminum-zinc composite metal oxide prepared by the present invention is used as a catalyst to catalyze the α-alkylation reaction of fatty alcohols and ketones. Figure 4 .

[0057] The α-alkylation reaction of p-methoxyacetophenone and n-butanol was catalyzed by the catalyst CuMgAlZn-I-550, and the main product was 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)hexane-1-one with an isolated yield of 62%.

[0058] The α-alkylation reaction of p-methoxyacetophenone and isoamyl alcohol was catalyzed by the catalyst CuMgAlZn-I-550, and the main product was 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-hexane-1-one, and the isolation yield was 89%.

[0059] The present invention constructs a non-precious metal composite oxide multiphase catalytic system, and by regulating the Cu content in the composite oxide and the reaction conditions, a highly efficient, inexpensive, metal-unfavorable multiphase catalytic system without the participation of alkali co-catalysts is established.

[0060] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent change made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
