Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and specifically to a method for synthesizing pyrrolidone ethanolamine salt. Background Technology

[0002] Octopirox (OCT) is a novel anti-dandruff and anti-itch agent with superior efficacy compared to other similar agents. It not only mixes well with other additives in shampoos but is also non-toxic, non-irritating, and highly safe, making it a highly promising anti-dandruff and anti-itch agent for widespread application.

[0003] Currently, the method for synthesizing pyrrolidone ethanolamine salt from 4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyranone as a starting material is a two-step process. The first step involves reacting 4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyranone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a base to obtain pyrrolidone; the second step involves reacting pyrrolidone with ethanolamine to obtain pyrrolidone ethanolamine salt.

[0004] The reaction equation for the first step is as follows: The reaction equation for the second step is as follows:

[0005] The base in the first step described above can be a pyridine compound, a basic inorganic compound, or an organic base. Pyridine compounds include pyridine, aminopyridine, aminopyridine with alkyl substituents, and imidazole; however, pyridine compounds are expensive, resulting in high production costs and causing serious environmental pollution. Basic inorganic compounds include alkali metal carbonates or alkali metal bicarbonates, but the yield of pyrrolidone is low. Organic bases include triethylamine, sodium acetate, and hexamethylenetetramine, but the yield of pyrrolidone is also low; literature indicates that the yield of pyrrolidone is 33% when sodium acetate is used as the organic base, and 53% when triethylamine is used.

[0006] The prior art discloses Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114874137A to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in this patent document is as follows: A method for synthesizing pyroxone ethanolamine salt, the method comprising the following steps: Synthesis step: 4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyranone is dissolved in an alcohol solvent, and hydroxylamine hydrochloride and ethanolamine are added sequentially. Ethanolamine and hydroxylamine hydrochloride undergo a neutralization reaction to generate hydroxylamine and ethanolamine hydrochloride. Subsequently, a transesterification reaction of 4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyranone and hydroxylamine occurs simultaneously to generate pyroxone, and a salt formation reaction of pyroxone and ethanolamine occurs simultaneously to generate pyroxone ethanolamine salt, yielding a reaction solution; Post-processing step: The alcohol solvent in the reaction solution is first removed, and then solvent extraction is used to obtain an aqueous phase and an organic phase; the organic phase is crystallized to obtain pyroxone ethanolamine salt. This application improves the yield of pyroxone ethanolamine salt and simplifies the production process.

[0007] The above technical solution will have the following problems in actual use:

[0008] During the use of this method, if the solid hydroxylamine hydrochloride raw material is exposed to air for too long, it is prone to deliquescence or oxidation and failure, which leads to the generation of by-products, increases the difficulty of post-processing, and greatly reduces the safety of the process.
