Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reactor technology, specifically to an immobilized enzyme reactor for bisoprolol synthesis. Background Technology
[0002] Bisoprolol, with the molecular formula C18H31NO4, is a yellow, oily liquid and a β-receptor blocker. It selectively works by blocking the binding of adrenaline to β1-receptors without affecting β2-receptors, making it a β1-blocker with high affinity and selectivity for cardiac β1-receptors. S-(-)-bisoprolol is the levorotatory isomer, and its synthesis involves multiple steps, including the introduction of a chiral center, potentially using chiral auxiliaries or asymmetric catalysis. For example, a packed-bed reactor or microchannel reactor can be used, filled with immobilized lipases (such as CAL-B) or ketone reductases, to catalyze an asymmetric reduction reaction, producing an S-configuration alcohol with a high ee value. A reactor is required in this process.
[0003] A fixed-bed reactor disclosed in existing patent publication number CN219377077U includes a fixed-bed reactor body, a fixed bed layer inside the fixed-bed reactor body, positioning rings at the upper and lower ends of the fixed bed layer, a support plate at the bottom of the fixed bed layer, a support rod at the bottom of the support plate, an electric heating bend inside the fixed bed layer, heating boxes on both sides of the fixed-bed reactor body, a fixed seat inside the heating box, an electric heating tube inside the fixed seat, and an end cap at the top of the fixed-bed reactor body. Raw materials are added to the fixed-bed reactor body through a feed hopper, filtered through a filter screen in the feed hopper, and then enter the feed pipe. The raw material gas flow in the feed pipe is ejected from the strip-shaped holes, dispersed by the wire mesh, and then enters the fixed bed layer, thereby ensuring that the raw material gas enters the fixed bed layer uniformly.
[0004] The aforementioned reactor uses a fixed bed for reaction, which is secured inside the reactor by support rods, support plates, and positioning rings. Disassembly requires complete removal of the end cap, heating box, and heating tubes, making the operation complex and time-consuming. Furthermore, the catalyst regeneration or replacement cycle is long, impacting production capacity. Therefore, an immobilized enzyme reactor for bisoprolol synthesis is proposed.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, an immobilized enzyme reactor for bisoprolol synthesis includes a reaction vessel 1, a lid 2 installed on top of the reaction vessel 1, and a base 3 installed at the bottom of the reaction vessel 1. A feed pipe 6 is installed on the top of the lid 2, and a discharge pipe 20 is installed on the bottom of the base 3. The base 3 is fixed to the bottom of the reaction vessel 1 by fasteners. A plurality of positioning rods 19 extending into the reaction vessel 1 are installed on the top of the base 3, and a set of packing columns 18 are installed between the plurality of positioning rods 19. A limiting ring 17 that abuts against the top of the packing columns 18 is installed on the inner wall of the reaction vessel 1. The immobilized enzyme carrier is loaded in the packing columns 18, and the substrate comes into contact with the enzyme and undergoes a catalytic reaction when flowing through the packing columns. The product after the reaction is discharged from the discharge pipe 20 at the bottom of the base 3, completing the continuous flow process.
[0027] The top of the reaction vessel 1 is equipped with a partition plate 9, the partition plate 9 is provided with a feed hole 10, and the bottom of the partition plate 9 is provided with a material feeding device for sprinkling the material output from the feed hole 10 to the filling column 18. The top of the vessel cover 2 is equipped with a drive unit 5 for driving the material feeding device to work.
[0028] Using the above scheme, the material enters the reaction tank 1 through the feed pipe 6 at the top of the tank cover 2, and flows into the interior of the reaction tank 1 through the feed hole 10 of the partition plate 9. The drive component 5 drives the feeding component to work. As the feeding component rotates, it sprinkles the material onto the surface of the filling column 18, thereby improving the uniformity of the material distribution on the surface of the filling column 18.
[0029] Please see Figure 5 The fastener includes a rotating seat 12 and a rotating rod 13 rotatably connected to the end of the rotating seat 12. The end of the rotating seat 12 away from the rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top outer ring of the base 3. The end of the rotating rod 13 away from the rotating seat 12 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 14. A rotating handle 15 is connected to the threaded sleeve 14. A groove 16 for inserting the rotating rod 13 is provided at the bottom outer ring of the reaction vessel 1. Specifically, by rotating the handle 15 to loosen the threaded sleeve 14, the rotating rod 13 can be moved away from the groove 16, and the base 3 can be quickly disassembled to replace or regenerate the immobilized enzyme in the filling column 18.
[0030] Furthermore, the top of the reaction vessel 1 is provided with an annular groove for installing the partition plate 9. The outer wall of the partition plate 9 is in contact with the annular groove. The outer diameter of the partition plate 9 is larger than the inner diameter of the reaction vessel 1. The reaction vessel 1 is connected to the vessel cover 2 by fastening bolts.
[0031] Please see Figures 2 to 4The feeding component includes a central rod 7 and a spiral blade 8 connected to the central rod 7. The top of the spiral blade 8 is provided with an arc-shaped isolation plate 11 installed on the central rod 7. The top of the arc-shaped isolation plate 11 is slidably engaged with the bottom of the separator plate 9. The arc-shaped isolation plate 11 is provided with a notch corresponding to the feed hole 10. When the spiral blade 8 rotates, the substrate is evenly dispersed to the surface of the filling column 18 by centrifugal force to avoid excessive local concentration.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 The driving component 5 includes a driving component 5 installed on the top of the can lid 2. The power output end of the driving component 5 is connected to the top of the center rod 7. The partition plate 9 is provided with a rotating hole that rotates with the center rod 7.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 The outer wall of the reaction vessel 1 is connected to three sets of support frames 4, which are evenly arranged around the axis of the reaction vessel 1. The support frames 4 provide support and enhance the stability of the equipment.
[0034] Furthermore, a heating layer is provided between the inner and outer walls of the reaction vessel 1; in practical applications, electric heating or a circulating water bath can be used to maintain a constant temperature environment to ensure stable enzyme catalytic activity.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the material enters the reaction tank 1 through the feed pipe 6 at the top of the tank cover 2, and flows into the interior of the reaction tank 1 through the feed hole 10 of the partition plate 9. The driving component 5 drives the central rod 7 to rotate, and the spiral blade 8 rotates. Due to the notch setting of the arc-shaped isolation plate 11, the material enters the spiral blade 8 intermittently. As the spiral blade 8 rotates, it sprinkles the material onto the surface of the packed column 18, improving the uniformity of the material distribution on the surface of the packed column 18. The material flows through the immobilized enzyme area of the packed column 18, where the enzyme combines with the substrate and catalyzes the generation of products (such as chiral alcohols). The reaction liquid flows out of the reactor, and the immobilized enzyme is retained in the reactor for recycling. This method can be applied to the asymmetric reduction step of S-(-)-bisoprolol.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
