The invention relates to the technical field of perfumes and
organic synthesis, and discloses a high-efficiency peach
aldehyde synthesis process capable of recycling n-caprylic
alcohol, which comprises the following steps: by taking the n-caprylic
alcohol accounting for 80-90% of the total feeding amount as a kettle bottom material, carrying out
nitrogen replacement, and then adding a catalyst; mixing the residual n-caprylic
alcohol, all the
methyl acrylate and all the di-tert-butyl
peroxide in another set of closed batching
system with stirring and
temperature control functions to form a dropwise-added
mixed solution, carrying out a controllable
free radical addition reaction at 178 + / -2 DEG C, and efficiently recovering the unreacted n-caprylic alcohol through high-vacuum rectification; the residual material containing the peach
aldehyde is rectified under reduced pressure and neutralized and stabilized through
triethanolamine, a crude product with the content larger than or equal to 90% is obtained, the crude product is subjected to high-vacuum precise
fractionation, the
reflux ratio is controlled through a program, a peach
aldehyde finished product with the purity larger than or equal to 97% is finally obtained, and recycled n-caprylic alcohol is returned to a production
system for recycling. Finally, the problems of high unit consumption of n-caprylic alcohol, difficulty in
recovery, insufficient reaction control precision,
high energy consumption of product separation and purification and large loss in the traditional process are solved.
