Description

Production process of benzyl alcohol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spice processing, in particular to a production process of benzyl alcohol.
Background
Benzyl alcohol is a very useful fixative, is an essential spice for blending essence such as jasmine, evening primrose, ylang-ylang and the like, and is mainly used for preparing essence such as berries, nuts and the like. It can also be used for preparing soap and daily cosmetic essence. Benzyl alcohol also has wide application in the production of industrial chemicals, and can be used as coating solvent, photographic developer, polyvinyl chloride stabilizer, medicine, synthetic resin solvent, solvent for vitamin b injection, antiseptic for ointment or medicinal liquid, drying agent for nylon filament, fiber and plastic film, and solvent for dye, cellulose ester and casein. Meanwhile, the oil is widely used for manufacturing pens (ball-point pen oil), paint solvents and the like.
In the prior art, there are two main ways for industrially preparing benzyl alcohol: 1. the benzyl chloride hydrolysis method is characterized in that benzyl chloride is used as a raw material and is heated and hydrolyzed under the catalysis of alkali to obtain the benzyl chloride; however, the pressure, high temperature and increasing and decreasing concentration all favor the production of the benzyl ether as a byproduct, so that the purity and yield of the benzyl alcohol are affected. 2. The toluene oxidation method is to oxidize toluene to prepare benzyl alcohol under the action of an alkaline catalyst, but acetic acid and benzyl acetate are byproducts, so that high-purity benzyl alcohol cannot be easily obtained.
Currently, benzyl ester hydrolysis reaction can be adopted in a laboratory to prepare benzyl alcohol, and benzyl formate, benzyl propionate, benzyl acetate or benzyl benzoate and the like are used as raw materials to prepare benzyl alcohol through liquid phase hydrolysis; the reaction mixture is easy to separate after hydrolysis, and an organic phase is separated, so that the benzyl alcohol with the purity of more than 98 percent and the yield of more than 98 percent can be obtained. However, most of the methods are suitable for small-batch production or principle research operation in laboratories at present, because the raw material benzyl ester in the benzyl ester hydrolysis method is a component of perfume and has a large application value, if benzyl ester is used as a raw material for preparing benzyl alcohol, the obtained accessory products cannot be recycled in the production and processing of other products, and the raw materials, products or intermediate products cannot be synthesized into a circulating chain, so that the production cost is increased, and the method is not suitable for industrial large-batch production.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a production process of benzyl alcohol, which integrates raw materials and products into a circulating chain and is suitable for industrial mass production.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a production process of benzyl alcohol sequentially comprises the following operation steps:
(1) esterification reaction: adding benzyl chloride and a phase transfer catalyst raw material solution into a sodium acetate solution, and carrying out an esterification reaction to obtain a first crude ester;
(2) primary water washing: washing the first crude ester with water to obtain a first brine and a second crude ester;
(3) and (3) secondary water washing: washing the second crude ester with water again to obtain second salt water and third crude ester;
(4) and (3) rectification under reduced pressure: carrying out reduced pressure distillation on the third crude ester, and condensing fractions to obtain a finished product of benzyl acetate;
(5) and (3) hydrolysis reaction: the benzyl acetate is hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to obtain benzyl alcohol.
By adopting the technical scheme, benzyl acetate is obtained through esterification reaction, benzyl alcohol and sodium acetate are obtained through benzyl acetate hydrolysis reaction, sodium acetate is continuously recycled as a raw material for preparing benzyl acetate through esterification reaction, one part of ethyl acetate is output as a product, and the other part of ethyl acetate is continuously reacted as the raw material of benzyl alcohol; the auxiliary products are recycled in the production and processing of target products or products, and raw materials, products or intermediate products are synthesized into a circulating chain, so that the production cost is reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial mass production.
Preferably, the phase transfer catalyst raw material liquid of step (1) is prepared by: mixing a catalyst and benzyl chloride according to a mass ratio of (0.5-1.0): (5-10), and reacting at 40-80 ℃ for 20-50min to obtain a phase transfer catalyst raw material solution.
By adopting the technical scheme, a large number of tests prove that the improved phase transfer catalyst raw material liquid has higher catalytic activity and stability, and still has better phase transfer catalytic effect after being repeatedly used for many times, and at least in the production of benzyl acetate in the same batch, the phase transfer catalyst raw material liquid always keeps higher catalytic activity, so that acetate ions can be continuously and flexibly transferred and transferred between an organic phase and a water phase under the carrying condition of the phase transfer catalyst, and the phase transfer catalyst, the acetate ions and halide ions are continuously and repeatedly combined and dissociated, so that the esterification reaction can be continuously and efficiently reacted, and the yield of the benzyl acetate is improved.
Preferably, the catalyst is a mixture of benzyltriethylammonium chloride and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and the mass ratio of the benzyltriethylammonium chloride to the hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is (0.8-1.3): (0.2-0.5).
By adopting the technical scheme, in the traditional quaternary ammonium salt catalyst catalysis process, if water exists, the self-recovery of the catalyst in the catalysis process can be influenced, namely the catalyst can not be perfectly converted into the original catalyst, so that the catalysis effect is influenced. The catalyst is a mixture of benzyltriethylammonium chloride and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide with a specific ratio, and is prepared by compounding and mixing two catalysts in advance and then heating the mixture and benzyl chloride, so that part of the catalysts are reacted with the benzyl chloride firstly, and then sodium acetate is added, so that the catalysts can be continuously compounded with acetate ions, chloride ions and the like and dissociated in the catalysis process, and a high-activity catalysis effect is achieved. A large number of experiments prove that the phase transfer catalyst raw material solution is pretreated with benzyl chloride according to the specific proportion, so that the yield and the purity of benzyl acetate can be effectively improved.
Preferably, the weight ratio of the sodium acetate solution, the benzyl chloride and the phase transfer catalyst raw material solution in the step (1) is (4-7): (9-15): (1-2).

By adopting the technical scheme, in the invention, the unreacted benzyl chloride is recovered and treated in the benzyl acetate production process, and the condition that the unreacted benzyl chloride is condensed to generate dibenzyl ether under an alkaline condition can not occur, so that the alkali liquor is added in a one-time adding manner in the hydrolysis reaction, and the energy consumption of continuous addition is saved. In experiments, the alkali concentration is too low, the hydrolysis rate is slow, and the alkali concentration is too high, so that the emulsification of the reaction liquid can be caused, and the quality of the product can not be ensured. The two factors of hydrolysis rate and benzyl alcohol quality are comprehensively considered, and the pH value of the hydrolysate is preferably controlled to be 12-13. The hydrolysis reaction temperature and the cooling temperature of the reaction mixture are controlled to ensure that the aqueous phase and the organic phase can be better separated, thereby improving the yield of the benzyl alcohol.
Preferably, the first brine obtained in the step (2) is subjected to oil separation treatment to obtain a first oil layer and a first water layer; adding the first oil layer into the esterification reaction raw material in the step (1) for re-reaction; evaporating and crystallizing the first water layer to obtain a solid, namely crude sodium chloride; the liquid is distilled water and is used for primary washing or secondary washing.
Preferably, the second brine in the step (3) is subjected to oil separation treatment to obtain a second oil layer and a second water layer; the second water layer is directly used for primary washing of the next batch of materials; adding the second oil layer into the esterification reaction raw material in the step (1) for re-reaction.
By adopting the technical scheme, the oil layer washed twice by water is added into the reaction raw materials for continuous reaction, so that the reaction raw materials can be fully reacted, and the yield of benzyl acetate is improved. The first water layer contains more sodium chloride, and crude sodium chloride is obtained by evaporation crystallization and recovery, is used for selling industrial salt and is environment-friendly. The distilled water obtained by evaporation is used for primary or secondary washing, the washing effect cannot be influenced, namely, impurity ions cannot be introduced, the distilled water is recycled, and the production cost is reduced.
Preferably, the temperature of the esterification reaction is 100-125 ℃, and the esterification is continuously stirred for 20-25 h.
By adopting the technical scheme, the raw materials in the esterification reaction reach the maximum conversion rate, and the yield of the benzyl acetate is improved.
Preferably, the vacuum distillation in step (4) is specifically performed as follows: and after primary rectification separation, collecting the fraction at 118 ℃, continuously performing secondary rectification on the fraction, and collecting the fraction at 115 ℃ to obtain a pure benzyl acetate product.

Comparative example 7 differs from example 6 in that in the esterification reaction, 75 parts of sodium acetate solution five (60%), 152 parts of benzyl chloride, 7 parts of phase transfer catalyst raw material solution five were used, the temperature of the reaction solution in the kettle was 123 ℃, and the esterification reaction was carried out for 22 hours, and the rest was the same as example 6. The purity of benzyl acetate in the finally obtained product is 92.70%, and the yield is 90.3%; the yield of benzyl alcohol was 95.3%.
Comparative example 8
Comparative example 8 is different from example 6 in that in the esterification reaction, 35 parts of sodium acetate solution five (60%), 85 parts of benzyl chloride, 23 parts of phase transfer catalyst material solution five were used as raw materials, the temperature of the reaction solution in the kettle was 123 ℃, and the esterification reaction was carried out for 22 hours, and the rest was the same as example 6. The purity of benzyl acetate in the finally obtained product is 91.73 percent, and the yield is 92.8 percent; the yield of benzyl alcohol was 94.9%.
As can be seen from examples 1-6, the benzyl acetate prepared by the benzyl acetate production process has high purity and good yield; the benzyl acetate prepared by the method is continuously hydrolyzed, and benzyl alcohol obtained under the hydrolysis condition of the method has high yield, so that raw material resources are utilized to the maximum extent, the raw material (benzyl acetate) of the hydrolysis reaction is from a self-produced product, the product is used for continuously producing the raw material (benzyl acetate), and the benzyl acetate is output as the product, so that a comprehensive circulation chain of the raw material, the product and an intermediate product is formed, and the method is suitable for mass production. From the examples 6 to 8, it can be known that the water washing after the esterification reaction has a certain influence on the purity of the target product, namely benzyl acetate, and after the water washing is carried out for the second time, the purity and the yield of the purity benzyl acetate are both increased; the oil layer after washing with water is returned to be used, so that the yield of benzyl acetate is further improved.
As can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 2, the pH of the hydrolysis reaction has a great influence on the yield of final benzyl alcohol, and too low pH results in incomplete hydrolysis reaction and reduced yield of benzyl alcohol; the pH value is too high, so that the mixture after hydrolysis is emulsified, the quality of the product cannot be ensured, and the benzyl alcohol cannot be separated out, thereby causing failure and wasting resources. As can be seen from examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 3 to 4, the temperature of the hydrolysis reaction has a large influence on the reaction, and within the scope of the present invention, the higher the temperature, the higher the yield of benzyl alcohol; however, after the temperature range of the invention is exceeded, the yield of the benzyl alcohol begins to decrease, which proves that the temperature of 250 ℃ is the best point of the hydrolysis reaction of the invention, and the temperature interval higher than 250 ℃ is abandoned in consideration of factors such as production cost, influence on equipment and the like. From comparative examples 5 and 6, it can be seen that the cooling temperature of the mixture after hydrolysis also has an effect on the yield of benzyl alcohol; beyond the cooling temperature range of the present invention, the yield of benzyl alcohol decreases. In addition, as is clear from comparative examples 1 to 6, the phase transfer catalyst raw material liquid in the present invention has an important effect and influence on the yield of the objective product, and the yield of the objective product is greatly reduced by changing the component ratios or changing the composition thereof. As can be seen from comparative examples 7 and 8, the ratio of the raw materials for the esterification reaction also plays an important role in the present invention, and if the ratio is not within the range of the ratio of the present invention, the yield and purity will be reduced.
The above-mentioned embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive, and those skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without inventive contribution as required after reading this specification, but only fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
