The invention discloses an efficient and energy-saving improved process for synthesizing benzo-15-crown-5 by a one-
step method, and relates to the field of
chemical production. The invention relates to an efficient and energy-saving improved process for synthesizing benzo-15-crown-5 by a one-
step method. The efficient and energy-saving improved process mainly comprises the following operation steps: step 1, mixing
catechol and
tetraethylene glycol in a
solvent; step 2, dropwise adding
benzene sulfonyl chloride into the liquid, and controlling the temperature to react; 3, adding
sodium hydroxide powder, controlling the temperature, and continuously reacting; according to the invention, benzo-15-crown-5 is directly synthesized by a one-
step method, so that the step of self-preparing dichlorotetraethylene glycol without a commercially available intermediate in the traditional process is omitted, and the production time is shortened while the process is simplified;
reaction conditions are mild, high-pressure or complex equipment is not needed, and
energy consumption is reduced; by-products are
sodium benzenesulfonate and
sodium chloride, no
toxic gas is discharged, solvents such as
tetrahydrofuran and the like can be recycled, environmental
pollution and cost expenditure are reduced, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.
