In 2018, the total consumption of L-menthol worldwide exceeds 6 million tons, and in recent 5 years, the supply of natural menthol is increasing at a rate of not less than 15% every year, so that the demand for L-menthol is far from being met. However, menthol has 3 chiral centers, 8 isomers and 4 pairs of racemic compounds, so that the chiral separation difficulty is high, the cost is high, and the production of L-menthol is limited.
The synthesis of the L-menthol at present relates to an asymmetric synthesis technology, and the synthesis modes at present mainly comprise two modes: one method is to use myrcene or citral and other raw materials, use rhodium catalyst to carry out asymmetric hydrogenation to obtain dextro citronellal, and carry out ring-closing and hydrogenation on the dextro citronellal to obtain L-menthol.
The other method is that citronellal is used as a raw material, isopulegol is generated through selective ring closure of a catalyst, L-menthol is obtained through manual separation after isopulegol is hydrogenated, Lewis acid is mostly used as the catalyst in the ring closure reaction of the method, D, L-menthol is obtained after hydrogenation, and the development of the route is limited all the time by the chiral separation of the D, L-menthol. The use of ZnBr has been disclosed 2The method for producing isopulegol by catalyzing citronellal to close the loop is industrialized, but the loop closing process has only 87% of yield and 91% of corresponding selectivity.

As can be seen from Table 1, the modified homogeneous catalysts prepared according to the present invention in examples 2 and 4 gave isopulegol with a corresponding selectivity of 98% or more and a yield of 94% or more, according to comparative example 1, using ZnBr2The catalytic reaction has lower enantioselectivity and yield of isopulegol, and the catalytic reaction has higher enantioselectivity by using the binaphthol-based organic aluminum compound as a catalyst in comparative example 2, but the yield is still lower than that in examples 2 and 4. Therefore, the yield and the corresponding selectivity of the isopulegol are greatly improved by adopting the modified homogeneous catalyst prepared by the invention.
