The invention relates to the technical field of
neodecanoic acid preparation, and provides a high-purity
neodecanoic acid preparation method which comprises the following steps: S1, adding a catalyst into a high-pressure kettle, introducing CO, injecting
nonene, and reacting to obtain a reaction solution; s2, mixing the reaction liquid with an extraction agent, feeding the mixture into an
extractive distillation tower, and performing extraction and separation to obtain a first organic phase; s3, adding water into the first organic phase, washing and separating to obtain a second organic phase; s4, adding an alkaline additive into the second organic phase, layering to obtain an upper-layer organic phase, and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation on the upper-layer organic phase to obtain
neodecanoic acid; in the step S1, the raw materials of the catalyst comprise supported
cobalt oxide and concentrated
sulfuric acid; the supported cobaltous
oxide is prepared from the following raw materials: water-soluble
cobalt salt and
boron nitride; in the step S2, the extraction agent comprises 1, 2-
propylene glycol. According to the technical scheme, the problem of low purity of neodecanoic acid in related technologies is solved.
