Description

A kind of synthetic method of freshener n-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide
One, technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of fine chemicals, exactly is a kind of synthetic method of freshener n-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide.
Two, background information
Menthol is the most frequently used traditional freshener, because it can give product refrigerant, fresh sensation.Therefore be widely used in the industries such as food, medicine, daily use chemicals, tobacco.But the fragrance of menthol has that obvious bitter taste, cool flavor effect are weak and the time is short, high volatility, non-refractory, be slightly soluble in the shortcoming such as water.In view of the shortcomings of menthol, the application of menthol is greatly limited.In order to overcome these shortcomings of traditional coolant agent menthol, arise at the historic moment by the molecular structure of menthol being modified the various novel coolant agent that obtains.Such as: menthyl acetate, p-Menthyl lactate, menthone glycerol ketals, TK-10, n-Ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexane carboxamide etc.
N-Ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexane carboxamide (being called for short afterwards amide of mint) is the peppermint derivative freshener that 20 century 70 U.S. Wikirlson Sword companies at first develop, and its commodity are called WS-3, FEMA numbering 3455.Amide of mint is a kind of novel, efficient freshener with the nice and cool effect of physiological.Amide of mint is as pure freshener, and it is not with astringent taste without the fragrance breath, and cooling effect is lasting and skinfeel is gentle, and nice and cool degree is five times of mentha camphor, can cooperate well with other coolant agents, has simultaneously the flavouring effect.Can be used in chewing gum, beverage, toothpaste, candy, medicine and the tobacco articles for use such as cigarette, filter tip.Amide of mint also gets the nod in the European Community, can be used in the food, and CE number is 2298.China Ministry of Health included it in " foodstuff additive use hygienic standard " in as the spices amendments in 2002, was allowed in food, medicine and the makeup, and its China is encoded to A3149.
The amide of mint structural formula is as follows:
Figure G2009101857336D00011
Amide of mint (N-ethyl-L-menthyl methane amide)
Chemical name: n-Ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexane carboxamide;
English name: n-Ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexane carboxamide;
CAS number: 39711-79-0;
Molecular formula: C 13H 25NO;
Specific rotation [α] D 20-46.0 °
Although amide of mint invention history of existing three more than ten years, manufacturer is still less.One of its reason is outside the Pass the product quality of amide of mint and content have, with its 1-position chiral carbon optical purity substantial connection to be arranged.Studies show that amide of mint only has the cool flavor of levo form just pure, dextrorotation impurity mouthfeel is with strong pungent simple-minded cool feeling.Left-handed specific rotation is lower, and assorted flavor is also heavier, and assorted flavor also is difficult to cover in blending.And the left-handed and dextrorotatory isomer of amide of mint is low by method separation efficiencies such as recrystallizations.Therefore guaranteeing the R configuration of C-1 in the amide of mint commercial process, is the production technology key factor.Comprehensive domestic and foreign literature and the industrialized preparing process that has been reported, amide of mint may have following two kinds by the industrial synthesis technique route.
Article one, synthetic route is as follows:
Figure G2009101857336D00021
Menthol is raw material, obtains menthyl chlorine take Lucas reagent or thionyl chloride as chlorizating agent, and menthyl chlorine and sodium cyanide reaction obtain the cyano group peppermint, with the ethyl sulfate reaction, directly prepares amide of mint again.Present method synthesis route is simple, needing to avoid the grignard reaction of anhydrous and oxygen-free operation, avoids the reaction under high pressure of grignard reagent and carbonic acid gas, and operational condition is gentle.But the fatal shortcoming of present method is to use hypertoxic sodium cyanide raw material in producing, and safety and environment protection requires high, and production management is complicated, has a big risk.
The second production method reaction scheme is as follows:
Figure G2009101857336D00022
Menthol is raw material, take Lucas reagent or thionyl chloride as chlorizating agent obtains menthyl chlorine, through grignard reaction, obtains menthyl formic acid, menthyl formic acid through again through thionyl chloride acyl chloride reaction and amidate action, the preparation amide of mint.From the reaction scheme analysis, the designed reaction of the method is the conventional ripening reaction, and reaction mechanism is clear and definite, and synthetic technological condition is ripe.How ensureing that maintenance C-1 chirality is constant in the first step chlorination reaction, is committed step in present method.In addition.In existing bibliographical information, utilize ether as the industrialization solvent, processing condition require relatively harsher, complex operation, safe pressure is large in the production.For high yield carries out amidate action, with the thionyl chloride chloride of menthyl formic acid, and large usage quantity.This this method not only increases reactions steps, and the raw materials cost increase, and three-waste pollution increases.Namely be this production method in the Givaudan house journal report of Switzerland and the industrial production.
Three, summary of the invention
The present invention aims to provide a kind of commercial freshener-amide of mint, and technical problem to be solved is to meet the commercial product that requires by the left-handed specific rotation of synthetic directly preparation.
The commercial amide of mint that requires that meets that the present invention is alleged refers to left-handed specific rotation [α] D 20-46.0 ° amide of mint.
The operational path of this synthetic method is shown in the following formula:
Figure G2009101857336D00031
As seen this synthetic method is also to be as starting raw material take menthol, comprise each unit process of chlorination, carboxylation reaction and amidate action and aftertreatment, difference with the prior art is that described chlorination is that the chlorination reagent thionyl chloride of raw material menthol reacted 1~3 hour under ℃ condition of temperature≤5 in the solvent of ether compound, separates obtaining chlorination menthane (menthyl chlorine); The chloro menthane is carboxylated through grignard reaction in the mixed solvent of aromatic series alkane and fatty ether, obtains menthyl formic acid; Described amidate action is that menthyl formic acid drips ethamine under little temperature of boiling when having amide catalysts to exist in benzene, toluene or xylene solvent, drip off rear continuation back flow reaction 2~4 hours, amide of mint crystallization in solvent after neutralizing, separate, concentrating is the yellow crystal shape.The add-on of amide catalysts is 5~15% of menthyl formic acid mole number.
The ether compound solvent is selected from one or more miscible agents of dioxy six alkane or fatty ether such as methyl tertiary butyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether or ethylene glycol diethyl ether etc. in the described chlorination.During the application mix solvent, ratio is any mutually.Theoretical and experimental study shows that dioxy six alkane are best reaction solvents; But dioxy six alkane costs are high, and toxicity is relatively large, reclaim relative complex.The preferred aliphat ethers is as reaction solvent.
Mixed solvent in grignard reaction, described aromatic series alkane is selected from benzene, toluene or dimethylbenzene etc., and it is 1: 10~10: 1 that described fatty ether is selected from both volume mixture ratios such as methyl tertiary butyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether or ethylene glycol diethyl ether.
Amide catalysts is selected from dicyclohexyl carbimide (DCC), 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) phosphinylidyne diimine (EDAC) or azide diphenyl phosphate (DPPA) etc. in the described amidate action.
Present method used cyclic ethers or aliphatic ether is made solvent, thionyl chloride is chlorination reagent in chlorination, not only side reaction is few, chloro-product yield high (〉=85%), particularly the C-1 chiral configuration is stablized constant in the chloro-product, guarantee that the finished product have high left-handed rotation activity, quality product is high.Compare with traditional method, although the Lucas reagent relative low price, consumption is large, and three-waste pollution is high; More important is that side reaction is many in the chlorination process, and the chloro-product yield is on the low side, and C-1 chiral configuration racemize ratio is high, and the finished product specific rotation can not guarantee.Ether solvent is with respect to DMF solvent low price, and dewatering process is simple and convenient in the recycling process, and cost recovery is low, and the rate of recovery is high.
Present method is used fragrant alkane and aliphatic ether mixed solvent in carboxylation reaction, compare with traditional ether or tetrahydrofuran solvent that volatility is less, boiling point is higher, can prevent the solvent bumping that the grignard reaction very exothermic causes, grignard reaction is carried out reposefully, processing safety improves greatly, reduce simultaneously the side reactions such as coupling, improve carboxylated transformation efficiency.
Present method is used the reactive behavior of catalyst activation carboxyl in amidate action, with ethamine with the direct amidation of carboxyl, than traditional first chloride, again amidation technique, reactions steps is few, work simplification, and in reaction process, utilize benzene, toluene, the characteristics of dimethylbenzene and water azeotropic adopt the reaction fractionating technology, the water that reaction generates is removed, reversible reaction is moved to the resultant direction, greatly improve the transformation efficiency of menthyl formic acid, improve product yield.
