The invention belongs to the technical field of
fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadien-1-ol and (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienal. The method comprises the following steps of: reacting cis-leaf
alcohol serving as a starting material with
phosphorus oxybromide to generate cis-1-bromo-3-
hexene, reacting the cis-1-bromo-3-
hexene with
magnesium metal to obtain cis-3-hexenyl Grignard
magnesium bromide, reacting the cis-3-hexenyl Grignard
magnesium bromide with
formaldehyde to generate cis-4-
heptene-1-
alcohol, oxidizing the cis-4-
heptene-1-
alcohol with
sodium hypochlorite under the
catalysis of a catalyst 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine
oxide to obtain cis-4-
heptene-1-
aldehyde, and separating the cis-4-heptene-1-
aldehyde from the cis-4-heptene-1-
aldehyde. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienoic acid methyl ester with methoxyl formyl
methylene triphenyl halophosphine in the presence of
potassium tert-butoxide to obtain (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienoic acid methyl ester, reducing the (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienoic acid methyl ester with NaBH4 to obtain (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadien-1-ol, and finally oxidizing the (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienal with
sodium hypochlorite under the
catalysis of a catalyst 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine
oxide to obtain (E, Z)-2, 6-nonadienal. The method is environment-friendly, low in cost and suitable for industrial production.
