Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hesperidin synthesis technology, specifically to a hesperidin and its synthesis method. Background Technology
[0002] Jasmine aldehyde (3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde), an important fine chemical intermediate, is widely used in fragrances, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food additives. Its unique sweet aroma and long-lasting scent make it a core component of floral fragrances such as carnation, lily, and violet, and it also plays an irreplaceable role in electroplating, polishing, and pharmaceutical synthesis. However, the content of jasmine aldehyde in natural sources (such as locust flowers and laurel leaves) is extremely low, making it difficult to meet industrial demands. Therefore, chemical synthesis has become the main production method for jasmine aldehyde.
[0003] There are two traditional synthesis processes for hesperidin: ozone oxidation and sodium dichromate oxidation. Although these two methods are simple, ozone oxidation has problems such as reliance on imported raw materials, high energy consumption, and many by-products, while sodium dichromate oxidation is prone to environmental pollution due to the use of heavy metal oxidants. With the development of industrial technology, the efficiency of traditional synthesis processes has been improved by introducing new catalysts and optimizing reaction conditions, but it is still not satisfactory.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese invention patent CN117756773A discloses a process for preparing hesperidin, which uses glyoxylic acid, acetic acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, and piperine as raw materials, nitric acid as an oxidant, and sodium nitrite as a catalyst, and finally prepares hesperidin through distillation, decolorization, and crystallization. Although the above patent can improve the yield of hesperidin, it involves many steps, is complex to operate, and generates a large amount of wastewater that needs to be treated before discharge, increasing costs. In addition, the solvent cannot be directly recycled and requires secondary treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing jasmine aldehyde, so as to solve the problems of complex operation, difficult solvent recovery and large amount of wastewater generation in the existing jasmine aldehyde synthesis method.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for synthesizing hesperidin includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Mix glyoxylic acid, glacial acetic acid and piperine evenly, then slowly add concentrated sulfuric acid dropwise under the first temperature condition. After reacting for a period of time, slowly add nitric acid dropwise under the second temperature condition. After reacting for a period of time, the reaction solution is obtained.
[0009] S2. Filter the reaction solution obtained from S1 to obtain crude hesperidin and filtrate;
[0010] S3. Recover the filtrate obtained from S2 filtration, and wash, filter, and dry the crude hesperidin obtained from S2 to obtain hesperidin.
[0011] Preferably, in step S1, the reaction equation is:
[0012]
[0013] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of glyoxylic acid, glacial acetic acid and piperine ring is (1-1.3):(2-10):1.
[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the first temperature condition is -15 to 25°C, and the reaction time is 12 to 30 hours.
[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid to pepper rings is (0.5-1):1.
[0016] Preferably, in step S1, the second temperature condition is 0–40°C, and the reaction time is 2–5 h.
[0017] Preferably, in step S1, the concentration of nitric acid is 40% to 68%, and the molar ratio of nitric acid to piperine rings is (1.5 to 3):1.
[0018] Preferably, in step S2, the filtration method is pressure filtration or vacuum filtration.
[0019] Preferably, in step S3, washing and filtration are performed alternately three times, and the washing uses desalinated water at a temperature below 40°C.
[0020] The present invention also provides a jasmine aldehyde, which is prepared by the aforementioned synthesis method.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: First, this invention simplifies the synthesis steps by preparing hesperidin in a one-pot process, making the entire synthesis method simpler and more convenient, and improving synthesis efficiency; second, the raw materials do not generate excess wastewater during the reaction process, solving the problem of large wastewater discharge and avoiding the need for additional wastewater treatment; finally, the filtrate recovery rate in this invention can reach 95-99%, and the recovered filtrate can provide some solvent for the next synthesis of hesperidin, thus reducing the amount of solvent added in the next synthesis and lowering the synthesis cost.
