A kind of novel method of synthetic paraethoxybenxoic acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of novel method of synthetic paraethoxybenxoic acid, especially a kind ofly take illumination as condition, catalyze and synthesize the method for anisic acid with aqueous solution of hydrogen bromide.
Background technology
Under (4-ethoxybenzoic acid) normal temperature, be white needle-like crystals, 197~199 ℃ of fusing points, be dissolved in ethanol, ether, chloroform, is slightly soluble in hot water, is insoluble in cold water.Paraethoxybenxoic acid is the intermediate of many medicines and spices, and for example it is new and effective, the intelligent intermediate that improves medicine mattress La Xitan of low toxicity, is also the important intermediate of antiarrhythmic drug SKF 33134A, also can be used for spices and sanitas.Its molecular formula is C

The industrial process of paraethoxybenxoic acid is to adopt P-hydroxybenzoic acid under alkaline condition, with ethyl sulfate, ethylized, because P-hydroxybenzoic acid has carboxyl, consume more alkali while therefore ethylizing, also need to use acidifying after reaction, the P-hydroxybenzoic acid price is also more expensive, thereby has increased cost.Meng Xiangjun, Zhang Baofa, Ge Xin once reported that with p-cresol be raw material, by ethylization, dioxygen oxidation, prepared paraethoxybenxoic acid.But also to use ethyl sulfate while ethylizing in this technique, consume equally more alkali, and need two steps to complete; Also need to use CoBr in the process of dioxygen oxidation
2, MnBr
2make catalyzer Deng metal-salt.When having caused heavy metal contamination, also increased the cost of technique.
Along with the development of environmental economy, the drawback that does not have sustainable developability that traditional production method of paraethoxybenxoic acid comes out, need the method more friendly by environment badly and replace.
Photochemistry, as a new branch of science, has obtained the comparatively development of system in American-European countries.Wherein, the basic theory system of organic photochemistry has been set up.But, in China, the development of organic photochemistry is also relatively backward.Illumination and the free radical reaction that causes, often can at very low temperature, carry out, now a lot of side reactions can not occur, a lot of functional groups are not that activity is very high or do not participate in photoresponse under illumination in addition, therefore functional group's tolerance of this reaction will be fine, is more conducive to play a role in complete synthesis work.Photochemical method, for a lot of reactions, will no longer be needed to harsh anhydrous and oxygen-free condition, and operation is more prone to.In addition, luminous energy is more clean than heating, and save energy reduces costs, and can reduce the pollution that metal reagent brings simultaneously and reduce costs.
