Technical field
The invention belongs to the organic synthesis energy technology field, relate to the method for synthetic 5-(alkoxyl-methyl) furfural of a kind of use microwave method particularly.
Background technology
5-(alkoxyl-methyl) furfural has an alkoxyl-methyl and an aldehyde radical in the molecule, generally is to react in ethanol by carbohydrate to obtain or in alcohol, become ether by 5 hydroxymethyl furfural, and be a kind of fuel or fuel dope that application prospect is arranged.People such as Gruter report that the energy density of 5-(ethoxymethyl) furfural reaches 8.7kwh/L, a little less than gasoline (8..8kwh/L) and diesel oil (9.7kwh/L), than alcoholic acid energy density (6.1kwh/L) height.In hydrogen environment, it can continue reaction with ethanol and generate 2 under an acidic catalyst existence condition, and 5-two (ethoxymethyl) furfural can directly use as biofuel.5-(ethoxymethyl) furfural and 2,5-two (ethoxymethyl) furfural all from biomass obtain, 100% renewable energy source compound, and can not generate low value or valueless by product, such as in the process of production biofuel, not producing glycerol.
The Another application of 5-(alkoxyl-methyl) furfural is aspect aviation fuel, and aviation fuel requires to have high energy density, burning-point and lower zero pour.Aviation fuel in the ideal should be obtained as raw material by biomass or biological product, and in other words, these aviation fuel should be feasible economically, can accept on energy requirement.
Making the people interested is some characteristics and the potential that some furfuran compounds have had becomes aviation fuel.Different with the compound that from fossil oil, obtains, these compounds that obtain from biomass have very high degree of unsaturation, hydrogen and the furan compound of storing hydrogen can be used as the media of cheap storage hydrogen and do not need hydrogen is discharged, because can act as a fuel together.More valuable is, these biomass fuels flash-point when higher energy density is provided is higher than 38 ℃, and zero pour is lower than-47 ℃, and in other words, these fuel are highly stable as the aviation fuel use properties.
Microwave is the hertzian wave of frequency between 300MHz-300GHz, between the ir radiation and radiowave of electromagnetic spectrum.The microwave frequency that is usually used in heating generally is fixed on 2450MHz or 915MHz.The ultimate principle of microwave heating is the conduction and the dielectric substance polarization of charged particle.The material molecule dipole polarization speed of response and microwave frequency are suitable in the microwave field, yet the dielectric medium dipole polarization that causes under microwave action often lags behind microwave frequency again, make the microwave field energy waste and are converted into heat energy.Microwave just more and more is subjected to people's attention to the promoter action of chemical reaction, utilizes the heat effect of microwave and speed that magnetoresistive effect can improve chemical reaction significantly and changes reaction mechanism, has obtained widespread use in organic synthesis.
