Description

Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds
Invention field
The present invention relates to Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds, two (diaryl phenol) parts of its through type (I) and alkylaluminium cpd and/or the reaction of title complex aluminum hydride obtain:
The invention still further relates to the purposes of these Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds as catalyzer.
In addition, the present invention relates to a kind of method for preparing the non-enantiomer mixture of isopulegol and isopulegol, wherein make geranial in the presence of as the Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds of catalyzer, carry out cyclization.
Aspect consumption, Therapeutic Mineral Ice is most important in the world aromachemicals.Demand for Therapeutic Mineral Ice still mainly is the separation from natural origin.But, in addition, the method for synthetic Therapeutic Mineral Ice is arranged also, be the form of racemic modification sometimes, be the form of natural enantiomorph L-Therapeutic Mineral Ice sometimes.
The important intermediate that is used to prepare racemize and optically-active Therapeutic Mineral Ice is an isopulegol; It carries out cyclisation oxygen base-alkene formula through geranial usually and reacts and prepare in the presence of lewis acid catalyst; And the form of mixtures of four kinds of enantiomorphs normally, i.e. isopulegol, different-isopulegol, new-isopulegol and strange-isopulegol.
Prior art:
Disclosed to be used to carry out above-mentioned geranial be heterogeneous catalyst to the suitable catalyst of the cyclization of isopulegol, for example SiO 2, Al 2O 3/ SiO 2, SiO 2/ ZrO 2, SiO 2/ TiO 2Mixed catalyst, mordenite, faujusite, smectite and zeolite; And homogeneous catalyst, for example sulfonic acid or Lewis acid, for example SnCl 4, ZnCl 2Or ZnBr 2
The catalyzer that is used for the geranial cyclization in the industry is a zinc bromide.But, when using this catalyzer, only obtain about 87% productive rate and 91: 9 enantioselectivity (ratio of isopulegol and other isopulegol isomer).
EP-A 1 225 163 has described under three (2,6-phenylbenzene phenol) Al catalysts exists geranial has been cyclized into isopulegol.Three (2,6-phenylbenzene phenol) aluminium is disclosed in document, and as being used for α; The selectivity 1 of beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound, the catalyzer of 4-functionalization and conduct are used for the catalyzer of special Claisen rearrangement reaction; Angew.Chem.Iht.Ed.2004 for example, 43,994 is said.
People such as S.Saito are at Synlett, and 1, described the triple phenoxyl aluminium polymer among the 57-58 and be used to carry out α as the lewis acidity catalyzer, the purposes of the Diels-Alder reaction between beta-unsaturated aldehyde and the diene as dienophile with it.Described triple phenoxyl aluminium polymer is through 4, and reaction obtains under ultrasonication in toluene for 4 '-(2,6,2 ', 6 '-tetraphenyl) bis-phenol and trimethylaluminium.The by product of required Diels-Alder reaction adducts is two polyester, and this is because the Tishchenko reaction in downstream.
JP 9-278817A relates to the catalyzer that is used for olefinic polyreaction, and it is suitable for replacing aikyiaiurnirsoxan beta.This catalyzer contains the transition metal of (a) periodic table of elements 4-6 family, the cyclopentadienyl system bonding of itself and cyclopentadienyl system or two bridge joints, (b) alkylaluminium cpd with (c) have at least two aromatic substance with the hydroxyl of aromatic ring keyed jointing.
The object of the invention:
Said three (2 according to EP-A 1 225 163 (as immediate prior art); 6-phenylbenzene phenol) Al catalysts is cyclized into geranial in the method for isopulegol under existing; Used catalyst complexes is expensive, and only can produce with the title complex mode.The recovery that a shortcoming of said method of in homogeneous phase, carrying out is the catalyst system therefor title complex is impossible, and this is because catalyst complexes is hydrolyzed after reaction is accomplished.And, there are not to describe the recovery possibility of the part that discharges in the method and usability again.
Therefore; The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of catalyst system; It can be at least with known catalyst system equally well the catalysis geranial to the cyclization of isopulegol; And when reaction is accomplished, can also can utilize again with high purity and recovered in high yields, or its part can also can utilize with high purity and recovered in high yields with the simple mode of technology after reacting again with the simple mode of technology.
The description of the present invention and preferred embodiment:
The object of the invention realizes through Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds is provided, two (diaryl phenol) parts of said Diarylphenoxy aluminum compounds through type (I) and the aluminum compound of formula (II) and/or obtain with the aluminum compound reaction of formula (III):
