The invention relates to a synthetic method of lauric acyl
amino acid sodium, particularly to a synthetic method which uses
lauric acid and
phosgene as raw materials. The synthetic method comprises the following steps: ensuring that the reaction lasts for 1 to 20 hours at a temperature of 60 to 100 DEG C with the effect of organic
amide catalyst; obtaining
acyl chloride through
vacuum distillation after the reaction is finished; dripping lauric
acyl chloride obtained according to the
phosgene method into amino acids alkaline solution for reaction; controlling and ensuring the pH value to be within the range of 8 to 10, the
reaction temperature to be 15 to 20 DEG C, and the reaction time to be 4 to 5 hours; carrying out cooling after the reaction is finished; acidizing the reaction solution to pH 1 to 2 with
hydrochloric acid solution; filtering, washing and
drying white
sediment to obtain lauric acyl
amino acid; dissolving the prepared lauric acyl
amino acid with
alcohol; adding
alcohol solution with
sodium hydroxide of equal
molar amount; and crystallizing, sucking, filtering and
drying after cooling to obtain the lauric acyl amino acid
sodium. According to the invention, the synthetic method is reasonable in process, high in reaction efficiency and good in product quality; the three wastes are seldom generated; and no
residual phosphorus and
sulfur are contained in the product. Therefore, the synthetic method can be widely used in the production of high-end
surface active agents, and has significant utility value and social and
economic benefits.
