The invention is characterized in that: the concentration of the ethyl acetate solution of lactide, as well as the crystallization time of the solutions of different concentrations, were controlled. The invention can improve the quality of the crystallized product and improve the recrystallization efficiency.

Description

A kind of method of lactide recrystallization
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of purification process of cyclic ester class organic compound.Specifically, a kind ofly exactly make impure rac-Lactide, reach the method for purifying by the crystallization control time being in the recrystallization process of solvent with the ethyl acetate.
Background technology
Rac-Lactide is a kind of cyclic ester that is generated by two molecule lactic acid, has four kinds of forms: the L-rac-Lactide that two molecule L-lactic acid forms; The D-rac-Lactide that two molecule D-lactic acid form; The Study of Meso-Lactide that a part L-lactic acid and a part D-lactic acid form; And the rac-lactide of L-rac-Lactide and the formation of D-rac-Lactide.Rac-Lactide is a kind of important compound that can be used for preparing poly(lactic acid) and multipolymer thereof.
As everyone knows, poly(lactic acid) and multipolymer thereof are as Biodegradable material, and have two big outstanding advantages: its raw material---lactic acid can be obtained by fermentation, belongs to renewable resources; Its finished product can be become carbonic acid gas and water by microbiological degradation, reach degraded fully, can not produce environment and pollute.Therefore, the research of relevant polylactic acid-based material causes extensive concern.
High molecular weight polylactic acid is normally obtained by highly purified rac-Lactide ring-opening polymerization.Usually, rac-Lactide by aqueous lactic acid through low molecular weight as intermediate, obtain by the cracked method again.Patent CN1212343, CN1369490, AU2003231482, DE3232103, DE3708915, FR2843390, JP63101378, JP2004149418, US1095205, US5053522, US2002132967 etc. have introduced the building-up process of rac-Lactide.
In the rac-Lactide that above-mentioned patented method obtains, also contain impurity (rac-Lactide that hereinafter will contain these impurity is called impure rac-Lactide) such as a small amount of lactic acid monomer, lactic acid dipolymer (lactyllactic acid) and water.
Contained above-mentioned impurity can have a negative impact to the polyreaction of rac-Lactide: the existence of water can make the rac-Lactide hydrolysis obtain lactic acid, and can make polylactic acid molecule chain hydrolytic cleavage; The existence of acid such as lactic acid and dimer thereof can make the polylactic acid molecule chain be degraded etc. because of acidolysis.Therefore, impure rac-Lactide need be through purifying to remove the impurity that it contains.
The purification process of impure rac-Lactide generally has evaporation method of air aided, hydrolysis method and recrystallization method etc.
Evaporation method of air aided can make such as rac-Lactide or glycollide or and composition thereof cyclic ester be separated with impurity as the steam component in the air-flow.Relevant patent has AU2003295252, US5274073, US6277951 etc.But evaporation method of air aided sepn process complexity, and yield is generally not high.
Thereby hydrolysis method is a kind of method that mesoisomer obtains the high-optical-purity rac-Lactide of removing from impure rac-Lactide, and relevant patent has CN1112559, JP10025288, US5502215 etc.But after the hydrolysis treatment, generally still need recrystallization to be further purified.
And recrystallization method is few because of its operation steps, technology is used comparatively extensive than maturation.Patent CN1488628, FR2843390, WO9315069 etc. introduce recrystallization method purifying rac-Lactide.But the research for recrystallization method purifying rac-Lactide mostly is choice of Solvent greatly at present, adopt ethyl acetate, JP10279577 to adopt lower member ester class, US6313319 to use alcohols, JP6279435 application lower alcohol, ketone, ester class or its mixture etc. as patent US4727163, CN1583740, and the influence factor of lactide recrystallization technology is not studied.
This patent finds that rac-Lactide adopts different crystallization times when a certain solvent and a certain concentration, and the yield of its recrystallized product and purity have very big difference, and also influential to production efficiency, but this point does not cause people's attention.For example Japanese Patent JP7118259 is when describing the method for recrystallization, crystallizing system is cooled to the temperature that sets after, filter immediately and obtain crystal, its yield has only 50~52%, one of its reason may be crystallization time too short due to.Equally, document Bioresorbable Electrospun Tissue Scaffolds of Poly (ethylene glycol-b-lactide) Copolymers forBone Tissue Engineering one literary composition (Anand Shreyans Badami, Richmond:Virginia Polytechnic Instituteand State University, 2004) in crystallizing system placed that 1 hour after-filtration obtains the rac-Lactide crystal in the ice-water bath, also have the too short problem of crystallization time in this technology.And at document " the purification process research of the research of Biodegradable Polylactide (II) lactide monomer " (Heilongjiang University's natural science journal, 1998,15 (1): 110~113), crystallization time is decided to be 24 hours, this makes that again crystallization time is long, product purity and yield are descended, more prolonged the production cycle greatly.
The present invention particularly points out: crystallization time is too short, can cause product yield low; And crystallization time is long, can cause product purity poor, and productivity reduces.By control, can effectively improve the yield and the purity of crystallized product, and enhance productivity the crystallization time of different concns solution in the recrystallization process.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention promptly for the rac-Lactide ethyl acetate solution of different concns, by the control to crystallization time, makes product obtain better purity and crystallization yield.
Purpose of the present invention can reach by following measure:
A is dissolved in ethyl acetate with impure rac-Lactide under 60 ℃~75 ℃, obtain certain density solution;
B with solution left standstill for some time, makes the rac-Lactide crystallization under 0 ℃~30 ℃;
C filters and obtains crystal and dry.
In further of the present invention, the mass ratio of rac-Lactide and ethyl acetate is 9: 20~6: 5, and optimum quality ratio is 3: 5~1: 1.
Crystallization time was controlled between 2~8 hours, optimum range 3~5 hours.
Advantage of the present invention: controlled by crystallization time, effectively improve the yield and the purity of crystallized product, and enhance productivity to the rac-Lactide ethyl acetate solution of different concns in the recrystallization process.
