Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of high yield, high quality to prepare the novel method that alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replaces ethanamide, with a guardian technique difficult problem such as solve that the raw materials consumption height, the three wastes discharge amount that exist in the existing synthesis technique are big, equipment corrosion is serious and plant factor is low.By further investigation, the contriver successfully selects a kind of suitable catalyzer to be used for the reaction that the alkaline hydrogen peroxide oxydrolysis prepares alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replacement ethanamide, obtains satisfied effect.
Using preparation method provided by the invention can prepare structure and replace acetamide compound suc as formula the alpha-amino group of (I)-dialkyl group:
In the formula: R
1And R
2Be selected from identical or different C
1-C
4Alkyl.
Technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
A kind of alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replaces the preparation method of ethanamide, replacing acetonitrile with alpha-amino group-dialkyl group is raw material, in alkaline medium, under the katalysis of letones or amide substance, hydrolysis makes alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replacement ethanamide through hydrogen peroxide oxidation.
Experiment shows, adds an amount of amide substance and can promote the carrying out that react greatly, no matter is that fatty amide or aromatic amides can be as catalyst for reaction.Suitable amides catalyzer is selected from and does not contain alpha-amino amide substance, and preferred amide substance is selected from phenylacetamide, Acetanilide or DMF etc.Letones as catalyzer among the present invention then requires must contain methyl on its structure, so preferred aliphat ketone is as catalyzer, and preferred acetone or methylethylketone are comparatively ideal catalyzer.
Concrete reaction conditions is as follows: every mole of alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replaces acetonitrile and adds 2.1-2.5 mole hydrogen peroxide, 0.005-0.1 mol catalyst, reaction medium pH=9-10; Temperature of reaction 5-30 ℃, reaction times 6-8 hour.
Because added suitable catalyzer, reaction is finished after causing easily, and obtains yield and quality level preferably.Infer from reaction result, amide substance has stabilization to hydrogen peroxide, and the lone-pair electron in the acid amides on the N or methyl ketone all can effectively receive the hydrogen positive ion that forms in the oxydrolysis process at the carbanion that alkaline condition generates, and promote constantly finishing of reaction.What deserves to be explained is, though target product of the present invention also is a kind of acid amides, but owing to have alpha-amino group on its structure, lone-pair electron on the nitrogen change the Cloud Distribution of compound, do not having under the initiation catalysis situation of other amide substances or letones, autocatalysis can not obtain effect as scheduled.
Control is reflected under certain pH value condition to be carried out, and can reduce the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and guarantees the catalytic effect of letones or amide substance.PH value preferably is 9.2-9.5.
According to preparation method provided by the invention, adopt letones or amide substance as catalyst for reaction, use hydrogen peroxide as oxydrolysis reagent, by alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replace the desirable preparation of acetonitrile alpha-amino group-dialkyl group replace ethanamide, obtain the amide product of high purity, high yield.Can reduce three waste discharge significantly in the production, reduce preparation cost, reduce equipment corrosion, guarantee operational safety, practical application has obtained significant effect.
