A method for recovering 4-BMA from a 4-BMA
mother liquor reclaimed material belongs to the field of synthesis of medical intermediates, and comprises the following steps: 1) adding the 4-BMA
mother liquor reclaimed material into a
solvent, heating and dissolving; 2) adding a
chiral amine reagent to precipitate 4-BMA in the recycled material, and filtering to obtain 4-BMA salt; 3) adding alkali into the 4-BMA salt for dissociation, and extracting the dissociated
chiral amine reagent; and 4) adding acid to separate out 4-BMA, filtering and
drying to obtain qualified 4-BMA. According to the method, the
chiral amine reagent and 4-BMA are used for selective salification and
crystallization, and isomer impurities are not salified and are continuously dissolved in the
solvent, so that the product is purified, and the method has the characteristics of high
recovery rate, good product quality and simple method, is obvious in reliability and economical efficiency, has obvious cost
advantage and is suitable for industrial production.
