Description

A kind of synthetic method of menthyl formic acid
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to a kind of synthetic method, relates in particular to a kind of synthetic method of menthyl formic acid.
Background technology
Menthol is traditional freshener, it acts on skin and the oral mucosa, can give product refrigerant, fresh sensation, and menthol has the extremely low and cheap advantage of threshold value, therefore be widely used in industries such as food, medicine, daily use chemicals, tobaccos.But it also has the shortcomings such as pungency is strong, action time short, water insoluble.Its range of application is limited by very large.
In order to overcome the shortcoming of traditional freshener n-ethyl-p-menthane-3 alcohol, since 20 century 70s, scientists is arisen at the historic moment by the molecular structure of MENTHOL being modified the novel coolant agent that obtains.Normally introduce a large group at hydroxyl, ester class and ethers such as MENTHOL, perhaps hydroxyl replace is generated ester class and the amides of menthyl-3-carboxylic acid, this compounds is proposed by Wilkinson sword and confirms, therefore is called as the WS series compound.This compounds has comparatively detailed description in US4150052, GB1351761-2.With N-ethyl-2-sec.-propyl-5-methylcyclohexane acid amides (referred to as: WS-3), N-(glycine ethyl ester base)-2-sec.-propyl-5-methylcyclohexane acid amides (referred to as: WS-5), N-(4-cyanogen aminomethyl phenyl)-2-sec.-propyl-5-methylcyclohexane acid amides (US 20070276667), N-(2-(2-pyridyl) ethyl)-2-sec.-propyl-5-methylcyclohexane acid amides (WO 2007019719) is the most commonly used, wherein WS-3's is most widely used.
In synthetic WS series compound reaction, intermediate (1R, 2S, 5R)-5-methyl-2-isopropyl hexahydrobenzoic acid (referred to as: menthyl formic acid, structural formula is compound 1 among Fig. 1) synthetic be crucial step, its synthetic method mainly contains format method and cyanide process.
With patent US4226988, US4193936 be representative synthetic menthyl formic acid format method synthetic route as shown in Figure 1:
Figure GDA0000246664501
Fig. 1
MENTHOL changes menthyl chlorine (bromine) into, then generates Grignard reagent with MAGNESIUM METAL---and menthyl chlorine (bromine) is changed magnesium, and menthyl chlorine (bromine) is changed magnesium and generated menthyl formic acid with the dry ice reaction again.In this synthetic method, because menthyl chlorine (bromine) torpescence generates relatively difficulty of menthyl chlorine (bromine) change magnesium, severe reaction conditions, productive rate is low, also exists simultaneously by product many, and the defectives such as difficult separation have limited its application.
The method of the synthetic menthyl formic acid of cyanide process has two kinds, and a kind of is first MENTHOL to be converted into new menthyl chlorine (bromine), then with NaCN(KCN) cyanogenation occurs, at last hydrolysis obtains menthyl formic acid.Study on the synthesis (fragrance flavor and cosmetic, 2005,1,7) such as New Cooling Agent N-ethyl-L-menthylformylamine.The synthetic route of taking is as shown in Figure 2:
Figure GDA0000246664502
Fig. 2
Another is MENTHOL and methylsulfonyl chloride or Tosyl chloride reaction generation methylsulfonic acid menthyl ester or tosic acid menthyl ester, and then generate new menthyl nitrile (3 among Fig. 3) with sodium cyanide (potassium) reaction, generate menthyl formic acid finally by crossing configuration reversal.Such as Tetrahedron:Asymmetry, 1996,7 (7), 1967.Its synthetic route chart as shown in Figure 3.
Figure GDA0000246664503
Fig. 3
Cyanide process is compared with the format method, and the former reaction conditions is relatively gentle, operate also simpler, but the used cyanating reagent of this route is hypertoxic sodium cyanide (potassium), brings very large hidden danger to production safety, its application is restricted.Owing to introduce methylsulfonyl or p-toluenesulfonyl, the Atom economy of reaction is very poor simultaneously, and production cost increases.
In order to overcome the deficiency of existing synthetic method, the present invention uses the cupric cyanide of low toxicity as cyanating reagent, and a step generates the menthyl nitrile, obtains menthyl formic acid through hydrolysis again.The synthesis technique circuit that adopts is short, reaction conditions is gentle, optical purity is high
