With ion liquid supported catalysts preparation 2,3, the method for 5-trimethylbenzoquinone
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of is catalyzer with ion liquid supported cetylacetone metallic, by 2,3, and 6-pseudocuminol (TMP) oxidation preparation 2,3, the method for 5-trimethylbenzoquinone (TMBQ).
Background technology
2,3, the 5-trimethylbenzoquinone is the important intermediate that is used to prepare vitamin-E.
For a long time, pseudocuminol is oxidized to 2,3, the 5-trimethylbenzoquinone has many known methods.
In US3956346, described and used natural manganese dioxide to be oxygenant, in the presence of sulfuric acid, carry out the oxidation of pseudocuminol.This method can produce a large amount of corresponding reducing metal mud shape refuses, and also has spent acid to generate, and causes great environmental problem, and refuse is regenerated or handled the cost that must cost a lot of money.
In EP0659727, use four azepines [14] annulene manganese or cadmium complex as catalyzer, but this catalyst complex in oxidizing reaction with destroyed, thereby produced metal waste and production cost increased.This reaction simultaneously must be carried out in organic solvent, uses a large amount of organic solvents also can cause inevitable environmental problem.
In US2002/0143198, announced that a kind of transition metal salt with silicoaluminate is the oxidation scheme of catalyzer, but its productive rate do not wait from 1%~80%, generally be lower than known method, be unfavorable for industrialization.And use the bigger organic solvents of toxicity such as acetonitrile in the reaction, will work the mischief environment.
In CN1436877, publicity one step of a kind of paired electrolysis pseudocuminol prepare the method for Trimethylhydroquinone, the defective of this method is that gained Trimethylhydroquinone concentration is too low, must a large amount of electrolytic solution of use, spatiotemporal efficiency is low, and the processing of electrolysis waste solution need spend high cost.
In US3796732, to have described and used the oxidation scheme of cupric chloride as catalyzer, it carries out in homogeneous phase in the presence of inert solvent such as DMF, and this method is disadvantageous reclaiming on the catalyzer, and this method does not have competitive edge yet on yield.
In EP0127888, announced (CuCl at Li
3) there is the method that down pseudocuminol is oxidized to trimethylbenzoquinone, though this method has higher yield, must use excessive greatly lithium chloride, in known method, the price of lithium chloride is very expensive, this is very unfavorable to industrial application.
In DE19949795, the method for oxidation in the binary catalyst system of copper halide and transition metal halide composition has been described, though this scheme has higher yield, must use a large amount of organic solvents in order to reduce by product, make space-time yield descend.And used alcoholic solvent with this understanding also can be oxidized, causes difficulty to recycling.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of preparation 2,3, the novel method of 5-trimethylbenzoquinone, use ion liquid supported cetylacetone metallic mixture to be catalyzer, by 2,3, the oxidation of 6-pseudocuminol generates 2,3, the 5-trimethylbenzoquinone, the present invention also provides a kind of method that finishes the back reuse of catalyst in reaction.
Provided by the invention with ion liquid supported catalysts preparation 2,3, the method for 5-trimethylbenzoquinone, with 2,3, the 6-pseudocuminol is a raw material, with ion liquid supported cetylacetone metallic is catalyzer, uses the alcoholic solvent that contains three to ten carbon atoms, under-30 ℃~150 ℃ temperature of reaction, use molecular oxygen or oxygen rich gas oxidation 2,3, the 6-pseudocuminol, generate 2,3, the 5-trimethylbenzoquinone, described catalyzer has following general formula: [ace-C
