The invention discloses a synthetic method of
lactobionic acid. The synthetic method comprises the following steps: S1, adding
tetrabutylammonium bromide and TEMPO / NaBr / NaClO into a
lactose aqueous solution with the
mass fraction of 10-15%, and carrying out
catalytic oxidation to obtain
lactobionic acid; s2, adding
sodium phytate; s3, cooling the filtrate obtained in S2, dropwise adding
oxalic acid until the pH value of the
system is 2.0-2.5, standing for layering, washing a lower heavy phase containing TEMPOH + Cl <-> precipitate with pure water, and combining the filtrate; s4, passing through an
activated carbon column, and collecting a decoloring solution; s5, concentrating and cooling the decoloring solution, injecting liquid CO2, and maintaining the pressure; then,
acetone is added in a gradient mode for three times, and alpha-
lactobionic acid crystals are obtained; according to the method,
tetrabutylammonium bromide is used for transferring a hydrophobic main catalyst TEMPO < + > from an organic phase to a water phase through an
ion pair exchange mechanism, so that the oxidation reaction of C6-site hydroxyl of
lactose is accelerated, and the reaction efficiency is improved while the consumption of NaBr is reduced.
