Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, and relates to the preparation of catalysts for organic synthesis, specifically to a metal phthalocyanine polymer catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in the preparation of santalyl ether in a highly regioselective hydration reaction. Background Technology

[0002] Santal ether, namely 7-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctyl-2-ol (CAS 31890-92-0, Chemical C... 11 H 24 Sandalwood ether (O2) is an important synthetic fragrance and organic intermediate. At room temperature, it is colorless to slightly yellow. As a fragrance, it has a pleasant aroma and is a key component in the formulation of high-grade sandalwood fragrances. It can also be used to blend woody and floral fragrances, enhancing the complexity and naturalness of the aroma. Its low toxicity and antibacterial and antioxidant properties make it suitable for various applications, such as perfumes, personal care products like skincare, food additives, and pharmaceutical compounds.

[0003] Patent CN101906024 B discloses a method for synthesizing santalyl ether by using dihydromyrcene as a raw material, and by methoxylating, epoxidizing the terminal double bond of dihydromyrcene, and then hydrogenating it to generate hydroxyl groups.

[0004] Traditional hydration reactions often involve the direct addition of strong acids to water. While this method offers relatively simple reaction conditions, it results in low yields and numerous byproducts. Furthermore, the regioselectivity of double bond hydration reactions is poor, rendering it unsuitable for industrial applications.

[0005]

[0006] To achieve highly regioselectivity in double bond hydration, in 2014, Professor Peili Teo's research group used a self-made Pd(II) / Ru(II) catalyst to hydrate double bonds into highly regioselective alcohols, with a selectivity as high as 99%. Chem. Commun (., 2014, 50, 2608-2611). The catalysts used in the above reactions are expensive and cannot be recycled and reused multiple times; therefore, it is necessary to study new catalysts that can be easily recycled while ensuring high regioselectivity to meet the needs of industrial production.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is as follows: The application of the above-mentioned metal phthalocyanine polymer catalyst in the preparation of santalinic ether by highly regioselective hydration reaction includes the following steps: methoxydihydromyrcene, the catalyst POL-MPc, and sodium borohydride are mixed in a solvent in proportion and reacted at an appropriate temperature for a certain time; then an appropriate amount of water is added, and after stirring for a period of time, the catalyst POL-MPc is separated and recovered by filtration. The organic layer obtained by the separation of the filtrate is then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the product santalinic ether.

[0015]

[0016] Furthermore, the solvent is one or a mixture of two or more of methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or dichloromethane.

[0017] Furthermore, the molar ratio of methoxydihydromyrcene to sodium borohydride is 1: (1 ~ 6); the mass ratio of methoxydihydromyrcene to POL-MPc is 1: (0.1 ~ 1).

[0018] Furthermore, the reaction temperature is 0 ~ 50 ℃, and the time is 1 ~ 48 h.

[0019] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 20 ~ 30 ℃ and the time is 24 ~ 48 h.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The reaction raw materials used in the preparation method of the catalyst of the present invention are readily available and the preparation process is simple and easy to operate; (2) The catalyst POL-MPc designed and prepared in this invention has a stable structure, and the active components are not easily lost in the catalytic reaction and can be recycled and reused. (3) The catalyst of the present invention has high regioselectivity for santalyl ether (a:b>99).
