The ionic liquid catalyst is characterized in that the acid site modification is carried out on the traditional ionic liquid structure, and then high-activity Lewis metal titanium is introduced to increase the acid sites, so that the mutual synergistic catalysis of double acid sites is realized, and the activity of the catalyst is further improved.

TABLE 1 titanium series bis-acid type ionic liquid catalyst Performance contrast
As can be seen from the data in table 1, the catalytic effect of the catalyst A, B with stronger acidity is significantly higher than that of the catalyst C with weak acidity, which indicates that the catalyst has better catalytic effect due to the increased acidity. Comparing the catalysts A and B, the acidity of the sulfonic acid group is higher than that of the acetic acid group, which shows that the strong acid has obvious inhibition effect on the side reaction, the selectivity is as high as 99.90%, but the acetic acid group has slightly poor selectivity, but the yield of the final product DPC is higher. The titanium ionic liquid containing sulfonic acid group has the best catalytic effect by combining the yields of MPC and DPC.
TABLE 2 different TiCl4Effect of the amount added on the catalytic Properties
As can be seen from Table 2, with TiCl4The addition of the catalyst is gradually increased, the reactivity is gradually increased, and the intermediate I and TiCl are gradually increased4At a molar ratio of 1:1, the conversion reaches a maximum, when the intermediate I and TiCl are present4When the molar ratio of (A) to (B) is 1:1.25, the conversion rate is rather lowered. The reason for this may be that the excessive titanium tetrachloride cannot form a stable coordination chelate with the intermediate I, and the excessive titanium tetrachloride overflows the reaction system with increasing temperature during the reaction to affect the participation thereof to provide the active site thereof.
