Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cold light source material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing a novel green and environmentally friendly bisoxalate cold light source material. Background Art

[0002] In the field of cold light source material preparation technology, with the advancement of science and technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, the demand for high-efficiency and environmentally friendly cold light source materials is growing. Cold light source materials have shown great application potential in many fields such as lighting, display, and indication due to their low energy consumption, long life and environmental protection characteristics. At present, there are many cold light source materials on the market. Among them, cold light source materials based on oxalate compounds have attracted much attention due to their unique luminescent properties. This type of material is usually synthesized through specific chemical reactions and can emit bright and long-lasting light under specific excitation conditions. It is widely used in luminous signs, emergency lighting, decorative lighting and other fields.

[0003] However, the existing synthesis technology of oxalate cold light source materials still has significant shortcomings, especially in terms of environmental protection and safety. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on highly toxic chlorine-containing precursors, such as 2,3,5-trichloro-6-hydroxybenzoic acid amyl ester, etc. These raw materials not only pose a threat to human health, but also produce a large amount of chlorine-containing wastewater and corrosive waste acid during the production process, causing serious pollution to the environment. In addition, these synthesis processes usually need to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions, which not only have high energy consumption, but also have strict requirements on equipment, increasing production costs and safety hazards. More importantly, the oxalate cold light source materials prepared by existing technologies still have room for improvement in luminescence performance, especially in terms of luminescence intensity and durability, which are difficult to meet the needs of high-end application fields, so staff need to improve them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing a novel green and environmentally friendly bisoxalate cold light source material to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for synthesizing a novel green and environmentally friendly bisoxalate cold light source material comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1. Dissolve vanillin in dichloromethane (DCM) and stir until completely dissolved;

[0008] S2. Place the reaction system in an ice-water bath, cool to below 10°C, and add pyridine;

[0009] S3, oxalyl chloride and DCM were mixed evenly, and slowly added dropwise to the reaction system in S2 over a period of 20 minutes. A white precipitate was precipitated during the reaction;

[0010] S4, remove the ice bath and continue stirring the reaction at room temperature;

[0011] S5. Filter the reaction product and vacuum dry it in a warm water bath at 45° C. under a vacuum degree of 0.1 MPa to obtain the target product, bis(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl) oxalate.

[0012] Preferably, the feed ratio of vanillin to oxalyl chloride is 3 g of vanillin corresponding to 1 ml of oxalyl chloride.

[0013] Preferably, the solvent for dissolving vanillin in S1 is 40 g DCM.

[0014] Preferably, the amount of pyridine added to S2 is 2 ml.

[0015] Preferably, the mixing ratio of oxalyl chloride and DCM in S3 is 1 ml oxalyl chloride corresponding to 20 ml DCM.

[0016] Preferably, the vacuum drying condition in S5 is a 45° C. warm water bath with a vacuum degree of 0.1 MPa.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) By using vanillin as a raw material, the use of highly toxic chlorine-containing precursors in the existing technology is avoided. At the same time, there is no need to introduce hazardous chemicals such as concentrated sulfuric acid and chlorine during the synthesis process, thereby significantly reducing the safety risks and environmental pollution in the production process. In addition, the reaction is carried out under mild low-temperature conditions, avoiding the energy consumption problems and equipment loss caused by high temperature and high pressure, making the entire process more green and environmentally friendly.

[0019] (2) By optimizing the reaction system, the target product, bis(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl) oxalate, has good solubility in low-toxic ethyl acetate, and can achieve efficient luminescence without the addition of plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate. The methoxy group in the molecular structure forms hydrogen bonds with the solvent, further improving the stability and luminescence durability of the material, thereby achieving better cold light source performance.

[0020] (3) By precisely controlling the reaction conditions and post-processing steps, such as the temperature control of the ice-water bath and the setting of vacuum drying parameters, the high purity and high yield of the product were ensured, making the synthesis method easy to operate and reproducible, providing a reliable technical foundation for subsequent industrial production.
