The invention belongs to the field of catalyst preparation, and relates to a
rel-(2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid
diethyl ester compound as well as a preparation method and application of the
rel-(2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid
diethyl ester compound. The compound has a structure as shown in a formula (I), is a pure
raceme, has an
impurity content of less than 0.1%, and has a nuclear magnetic
hydrogen spectrogram basically consistent with a figure 5. The invention provides a pure
rel-(2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid
diethyl ester compound and a preparation method thereof, and completes the identification of the relative configuration of the rel-(2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid diethyl ester compound. The preparation method is suitable for industrial large-scale production of pure (2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid diethyl ester, and the pure (2S, 3S)-2, 3-diisopropyl-2-cyanosuccinic acid diethyl ester is used as an internal
electron donor for preparation of a Ziegler-
Natta polypropylene catalyst.
