The invention relates to a chemical synthetic method of 8-
furan-8-oxomethyl caprylate. The method comprises the following steps of adding octanedioic acid and
sulfoxide chloride into a reaction
bulb, agitating an obtained mixture at a
room temperature until a reaction is complete, and distilling to remove the
sulfoxide chloride under normal pressure; afterwards, adding a
solvent and a catalyst into the reaction
bulb to carry out another reaction, dropwise adding
methanol into the reaction
bulb for
quenching, decompressing the reaction bulb and distilling to remove the
solvent, dissolving a target product by using an extracting solution to obtain a solution, and distilling the solution under reduced pressure to obtain a yellowish oily 8-
furan-8-oxomethyl caprylate pure product. According to the chemical synthetic method of the 8-
furan-8-oxomethyl caprylate, a synthetic strategy of a one-pot method is adopted; by proceeding from the low-cost octanedioic acid, the octanedioyl
chloride is prepared with a high yield; afterwards, the octanedioyl chloride and furan are subjected to a
regioselectivity Friedel-Crafts
acylation reaction; finally,
acyl chloride at the other end is quenched by using the
methanol to directly generate methyl ester to obtain the product; by using the method, the synthetic
route of the target product is simplified; the reaction time is greatly shortened; the synthetic total yield is improved; therefore, the production cost is decreased; the chemical synthetic method has the advantages of being low in cost, higher in yield, simple to operate and suitable for industrial production, and the like.
