[0002] Citronellol is the main component of more than 70 plant essential oils of Rosaceae family, has a sweet and sweet smell similar to rose, and its structural formula is shown in Figure 1 Although the compound has achieved industrial production, its downstream industry has been limited to basic perfumes and essential oils in the daily chemical / food industry for a long time, and has always failed to break through the technical bottleneck of high-value utilization. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide an alcohol-soluble bio-based citronella polymer, a preparation method and application thereof, which aims to open up a new technical path for high-value utilization of citronellol.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in a first aspect, the present application provides an alcohol-soluble bio-based citronella polymer, which has a general structural formula as shown in formula (I):

[0005] Formula (I) Wherein, n is an integer of 81-203.

[0006] In a second aspect, a preparation method of the alcohol-soluble bio-based citronella polymer is provided, which comprises the following steps: (1) taking citronellol as raw material, and performing photo-oxidation reaction under the action of singlet oxygen by photo-irradiation in the presence of a photosensitizer and a solvent to convert the citronellol into isopropenyl ketone monomer; (2) mixing the isopropenyl ketone monomer, the photosensitizer, the RAFT reagent and the solvent, and preparing the alcohol-soluble bio-based citronella polymer by PET-RAFT polymerization reaction under photo-irradiation.

[0007] In a third aspect, an alcohol-soluble resin-based environmentally friendly coating based on the bio-based citronella polymer is provided.

[0008] Preferably, the coating comprises an alcohol-soluble resin solution of the bio-based citronella polymer, and further comprises an inorganic filler; the alcohol-soluble resin solution is obtained by dissolving the bio-based citronella polymer in an alcohol solvent.

[0009] Further preferably, the inorganic filler is selected from one or more of oil-soluble toner, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, rare earth particles and Ag powder.

[0010] To establish a new method for biomass conversion and enrich the use scenarios of bio-based materials, the present application adopts a "one-step" strategy to convert citronellol into isopropenyl ketone monomer, and then obtains alcohol-soluble resin through photo-induced electron transfer-reversible addition / fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization, and displays its potential application in the field of coatings. Overall, compared with the prior art, the above technical scheme conceived by the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present application uses singlet oxygen to convert the chemically inert tri-substituted alkene bond in citronellol molecules into an unsaturated ketone group in one step, thereby opening up the technical route for the conversion of natural product citronellol into olefin monomers. Further, through PET-RAFT polymerization, alcohol-soluble bio-based citronella polymers with controllable molecular weight and narrow dispersity are obtained, and the potential application of alcohol-soluble resin / inorganic filler composite in the field of functional coatings is developed.

[0011] (2) The environmental protection characteristics of the alcohol-soluble resin prepared by the present application not only lie in the fact that the resin and ethanol can be mutually soluble in an infinite ratio, but also in the fact that it is a truly 100% full-bio-based polymer material.

[0012] (3) The preparation method of the functional and environmentally friendly coating described in the present application is almost applicable to micro-nano particles of any material, showing good universality. The side chains of bio-based citronella polymers are rich in polar functional groups such as carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, so they can be mutually soluble with ethanol in any ratio at room temperature, significantly enhancing the environmental properties of the coating. Moreover, the above-mentioned groups help to enhance the interaction between the paint film and the substrate, thereby improving the adhesion and durability of the paint film. In addition, there are a large number of interaction sites between the resin and the inorganic filler, so uniform dispersion of the inorganic filler in the resin matrix can be achieved by simple high-speed vortex technology. It should be pointed out that the micro-nano particles of different materials endow the functional paint film with flexible and adjustable physicochemical properties, which undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for customizing bio-based environmentally friendly coatings on demand. The present application has cleared the technical obstacles for the development of high-performance environmentally friendly functional coatings, and the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, low cost, safety and health, and is expected to have broad practical prospects in the printing, construction, home furnishing and other industries.

[0041] The preparation method of the functional environment-friendly coating in the application is almost applicable to micro-nano particles of any material, showing good universality. The side chain of the bio-based citronella polymer is rich in polar functional groups such as carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, and thus can be mutually soluble with ethanol at room temperature, significantly enhancing the environmental protection property of the coating. Moreover, the above-mentioned groups help to enhance the interaction between the paint film and the substrate, thereby improving the adhesion and durability of the paint film. In addition, there are a large number of interaction sites between the resin and the inorganic filler, so that the inorganic filler can be uniformly dispersed in the resin matrix by simple high-speed vortex technology. It should be pointed out that the micro-nano particles of different materials endow the functional paint film with flexible and adjustable physicochemical properties, which undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for customizing bio-based environment-friendly coatings on demand. The application has cleared the technical obstacles for the development of high-performance environment-friendly functional coatings, and the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, low cost, safety and health, and is expected to have broad practical prospects in the printing, building, home furnishing and other industries.

[0042] The bio-based citronella polymer provided by the application has the following technical advantages over commercial products: 1) 100% pure bio-based material, while most commercial products are petrochemical-based polymer coatings, the raw material source of the bio-based citronella polymer of the application is more green and environmentally friendly; 2) The bio-based citronella polymer involved in the application is alcohol-soluble, so ethanol can be used as a solvent, and it has good environmental properties. The reason why the commercial product has an odor is that it contains organic solvents, which are harmful to the human body and the environment; 3) The bio-based citronella polymer involved in the application contains a large number of ketone carbonyl and alcohol hydroxyl groups, and the interaction between these polar groups and the substrate material is very strong, which helps to improve the stability of the coating.

[0043] The application solves the problem that the trisubstituted olefinic bond of citronellol cannot directly participate in the polymerization reaction by using a one-step strategy to convert it into an olefinic monomer through photooxidation reaction. Secondly, based on the photo-induced electron transfer-reversible addition / fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization technology at room temperature, a polymer with controllable molecular weight, narrow dispersity and rich in polar groups in the side chain is obtained. Finally, alcohol-soluble resin-based environment-friendly coatings are developed, and inorganic fillers are doped to expand the functional applications of the paint film. The application not only opens up a new green transformation route for the high-value utilization of many terpenoids containing trisubstituted olefinic bonds, but also creates high-performance all-bio-based environment-friendly functional coatings based on alcohol-soluble resins.

[0064] Example 9 A solution of 0.8 g of the bio-based citronella polymer P3 was prepared by dissolving it in 5 mL of anhydrous ethanol and stirring for 5 min at room temperature. Subsequently, 0.24 g of Ag powder was added to the aforementioned solution, and an environmentally friendly coating was obtained after treatment with a vortex mixer for 10 min. This was brushed onto the surface of a polypropylene plate, and after drying in air at room temperature for 24 h, a conductive coating was obtained. As shown in Figure 8 , after cutting the lead wire of an LED lamp and connecting the wire ends to the two ends of the conductive coating, the LED lamp could be normally illuminated after the power was turned on.

[0065] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides another method for synthesizing an alcohol-soluble bio-based polyisopropenyl ketone. The synthetic route diagram is shown in Figure 8 , and includes the following steps: ​ In step a, the reaction conditions are as follows: 1.1 equivalents of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride and 1.5 equivalents of imidazole, the solvent is N , N dimethylformamide, the reaction is carried out at room temperature for 1 h, and the yield is 99%.

[0066] In step b, the reaction conditions are as follows: 1.05 equivalents of meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, the reaction is carried out at 0°C for 0.5 h, and the yield is 93%.​

[0067] Step c reaction conditions: 1.05 equivalent of isopropyl aluminum, solvent is toluene, 115 °C for 8 h; adjust pH to 1-2 with 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, reaction yield is 89%.

[0068] Step d reaction conditions: 1.1 equivalent of o-iodoxybenzoic acid, solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide and tetrahydrofuran, room temperature for 2 h, yield is 87%.

[0069] Step e reaction conditions: 0.01 equivalent of 2-[dodecylsulfanyl (thiocarbonyl) sulfanyl]-2-methylpropanoic acid, 0.0002 equivalent of eosin Y, solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide, LED light source with wavelength of 465 nm, room temperature, 24 h, yield is 89%.

[0070] Step f reaction conditions: 1.5 equivalent of tetrabutylammonium fluoride, solvent is tetrahydrofuran, room temperature, 24 h, yield is 35%.

[0071] The total yield of step a to step f is 22%. It can be seen that the conventional idea of preparing alcohol-soluble bio-based polyisopropenyl ketone is complicated and has a very low yield.
