The invention provides a
sodium stearyl fumarate auxiliary material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing
maleic anhydride, octadecanol anda reaction
solvent, heating, and carrying out a ring-opening reaction; S2, adding a converting agent to carry out a
conversion reaction; S3, cooling, dropping a
sodium-containing alkali solution, stirring, and cooling to separate a
crystal after the reaction is completed so as to obtain a crude product; S4, carrying out refining treatment, so as to obtain a
sodium stearyl fumarate product. Sodiumstearyl fumarate is prepared by using a one-pot method, middle products do not need to be separated, preparation processes and aftertreatment steps can be greatly simplified, and reaction conditionsare gentle; moreover, the total yield is remarkably increased, the purity is remarkably improved, and the
sodium stearyl fumarate auxiliary material is suitable for being used as a
medicine and food auxiliary material and is applicable to industrial production.
