The invention belongs to the technical field of spice
raw material synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of methyl cis-dihydrojasmonate, which comprises the following steps: dissolving 1-heptyne in
toluene, discharging into a first reaction tank, adding a
cobalt catalyst, and discharging 1-
bromine-
ethylene and
carbon monoxide gas into the first reaction tank; adding
triphenylphosphine into a first catalyst
recovery tank, discharging catalyst precipitates, and carrying out sectional
distillation to distill, cool and recover 1-heptyne; absolute
methanol is discharged into the layering tank;
dimethyl malonate is discharged into a second reaction tank,
sodium methoxide is slowly added, an
addition reaction is carried out at the temperature of-5 DEG C to 0 DEG C, and then heating is carried out for a
decarboxylation reaction; 4-bromo-dihydrojasmonic acid methyl ester obtained by
distillation is discharged into a third reaction tank; and discharging
methyl jasmonate with alpha, beta-double bonds into a fourth reaction tank for reaction. By simplifying the steps, improving the
recovery rate of the catalyst and realizing
continuous production, the problems of high cost, low yield, low
recovery rate of the catalyst and the like in preparation of the methyl cis-dihydrojasmonate in the prior art are solved.
