Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2. Background Art
[0002] Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 is a plant-derived emulsifier that is a light yellow ointment-like solid. It is odorless or has a slight characteristic odor. It has good adhesion, durability and water retention properties, and its water absorption capacity is over 170%.
[0003] In skincare products, baby creams, lipsticks, and other cosmetic cosmetics, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 is often used as an emollient, replacing natural lanolin to lock in much-needed moisture and prevent water loss. Compared to traditional natural lanolin, products made with Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 exhibit improved heat stability, a softer texture, better adhesion, and a refreshing, non-greasy feel.
[0004] However, in the traditional synthesis method of bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2, acidic catalysts (such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or sulfuric acid) are often used in the esterification reaction. Acidic catalysts are prone to corrode equipment and reaction equipment, increasing the production cost and difficulty of equipment maintenance of the production process. In addition, the temperature needs to be strictly controlled during the reaction to avoid the production of by-products, which places high demands on the production process. Subsequent steps such as alkaline washing, neutralization, and water washing are also required, which not only increases the complexity of the process, but may also generate a large amount of wastewater, which is not conducive to environmental protection. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application provides a method for synthesizing bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2. By using an organic tin catalyst, the esterification cycle is shortened, the conversion rate is improved, and the production cost is reduced. During the reaction process, the ester product is light in color and high in quality, and no post-treatment such as neutralization alkali washing and water washing is required. Equipment corrosion is also avoided, water resources are saved, and the environment is not polluted.
[0006] The present application provides a method for synthesizing bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2, which adopts the following technical solution: A method for synthesizing bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2 comprises the following steps: S1. Stirring and mixing isostearic acid, caprylic decanoic acid, stearic acid, and 12-hydroxystearic acid to obtain total fatty acids; S2, stirring and mixing diglycerol, adipic acid, total fatty acids and organotin catalyst and starting to heat; S3, control the initial reaction temperature to 140-150 ° C, the reaction vacuum to 0.04 MPa, control the heating rate to 2-10 ° C / h to raise the temperature to 190-210 ° C during the reaction, then change the reaction vacuum to 0.1 MPa, and keep the reaction at this temperature for 4-10 hours; after the reaction is completed, take samples to measure the acid value; S4. After the acid value reaches the standard, start the vacuum pump unit, and keep the reaction under high vacuum for 2-5 hours to obtain a crude product of bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2. The crude product of bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2 is cooled and filtered to obtain bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, an organic tin catalyst is used in the synthesis of bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2. Compared with the traditional synthesis method using an acidic catalyst, the corrosion of the reaction equipment by the acidic catalyst is avoided, the equipment maintenance cost and the complexity of the production process are reduced; at the same time, the synthesis step does not require steps such as alkali washing, neutralization, and water washing, which reduces the generation of wastewater and better meets environmental protection requirements; by adjusting the gradient temperature and vacuum degree, the ester product in the reaction process is light in color and high in quality, effectively reducing the generation of by-products and improving the conversion rate of the reactants; the vacuum pump unit used in step S4 can provide a high vacuum degree, ensuring that the pressure in the reaction system is stable during the insulation reaction under high vacuum, which helps to fully proceed with the reaction and improve the purity and yield of the product. In addition, the vacuum pump unit has the characteristics of fast pumping rate and high efficiency, which can shorten the reaction time, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.
[0008] Optionally, the added amount of the organotin catalyst is 0.1-1% of the total mass of diglycerol, adipic acid and total fatty acids.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, within the addition amount range, the organotin catalyst can ensure that the synthesis reaction proceeds efficiently and stably. An excessive amount of organotin catalyst may promote the reverse hydrolysis of the generated ester bond, resulting in an increase in the acid value, and a smaller amount of organotin catalyst leads to a slower reaction rate. An appropriate amount of organotin catalyst can control the acid value of the product within a certain range, improve the consistency and quality stability of the product, and control the cost.
[0010] Optionally, the organic tin catalyst is one or more of tetrabutyltin, dibutyltin oxide, and dibutyltin dilaurate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, these organotin catalysts have good catalytic activity and selectivity, can effectively promote the esterification reaction during the reaction process, accelerate the reaction rate, and shorten the reaction time; and have good compatibility with the reaction system, will not produce other adverse reactions during the reaction process, and help to improve the quality and yield of the product.
[0012] Optionally, the molar ratio of the adipic acid to the diglycerol is 1:1.5-2.5, and the molar ratio of the diglycerol to the total fatty acids is 1:2-3.
[0013] Optionally, in the total fatty acids, the molar ratio of caprylic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid and 12-hydroxystearic acid is 2.3-5.0:2.6-6.0:0.8-1.2:0.5-0.9.
[0014] Optionally, the criterion for the acid value to meet the standard in step S4 is that the acid value measured by sampling in step S3 is less than 6.0 mgKOH / g.
[0015] Optionally, the bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2 obtained in step S4 has an acid value of 0-2.0 mgKOH / g, a hydroxyl value of 55-85 mgKOH / g, and a saponification value of 270-290 mgKOH / g.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, clear quantitative indicators are provided for the obtained bis-diglycerol polyacyl adipate-2, ensuring quality stability and guaranteeing the performance and effect of the product in practical applications.
[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This application uses an organotin catalyst instead of the existing acidic catalyst, avoiding corrosion of the reaction equipment by the acidic catalyst, reducing equipment maintenance costs and the complexity of the production process. Furthermore, this synthesis step does not require alkaline neutralization and water washing, reducing wastewater generation and better meeting environmental protection requirements. 2. In the synthesis process of the present application, by adjusting the temperature gradient and the vacuum degree, the ester product is light in color and high in quality during the reaction, which effectively reduces the generation of by-products and improves the conversion rate of the reactants.

S3, control the initial reaction temperature to 140 ° C, the reaction vacuum to 0.04 MPa, control the heating rate to 6 ° C / h to 200 ° C during the reaction, and then change the reaction vacuum to 0.1 MPa, and keep the reaction for 6 hours; after the reaction is completed, take a sample to measure the acid value, which is 2.5 mgKOH / g; S4. Turn on the vacuum pump unit and keep the reaction under high vacuum for 3 hours to obtain a crude product.

[0029] Compared with Comparative Example 1, in Examples 1-3, when the amount of organotin catalyst added was 1.5% of the total mass of diglycerol, adipic acid, and total fatty acids, the acid value increased abnormally.

When the amount of organotin catalyst added was 0.1%-1.0% of the total mass of diglycerol, adipic acid, and total fatty acids, the organotin catalyst ensured that the synthesis reaction proceeded efficiently and stably.
