Embodiment 1

[0015] Embodiment 1: the synthesis of 4-methyl-butylactone

[0016] In a 2L flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, an addition funnel and a reflux condenser, add 48g (2mol) of magnesium shavings, 150mL of diethyl ether and a grain of iodine. Start stirring, add dropwise a mixture of 274g bromobutane (2mol) and 300mL diethyl ether, keep the reaction slightly boiling, complete the addition in about 2 hours, and then keep the temperature at 40°C for 1 hour. Cool the reaction liquid to -5°C, add dropwise a mixture of 260g methyl levulinate (2mol) and 150mL diethyl ether, and control the reaction temperature below 0°C. After the addition, stir at room temperature for 2 hours, carefully add 416g of saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution to decompose, control the temperature at 10°C, and generate granular solid and almost dry ether layer. Pour off the ether layer, extract the solid with 2*250mL ether, distill the crude product under reduced pressure after dee...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing 4-Methyloctanoic Acid. Firstly, an intermediate of 4-methyl-5-octanolide is obtained by grignard reaction of 4-Oxovaleric acid methyl ester with 1-bromobutyl-magnesium halide, the intermediate of 4-methyl-5-octanolide and calcium sulfate for dehydroxylation to generate 4-Methyl-Octenoic acid, and the 4-Methyl-Octenoic acid is catalytically hydrogenated to obtain the target product. Compared with prior art, the raw material of the method is easy to get, the method need not high-temperature and high pressure environment, the reaction condition is moderate, and the method reduces production cost and difficulty, simultaneously obtains high yield, and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a synthesis process of fine chemical raw materials, and more specifically relates to a synthesis method of 4-methyl octanoic acid. Background technique [0002] 4-Methyl caprylic acid naturally exists in mutton, boiled mutton, roast mutton, mutton liver and suet, etc. It has a woody aroma and animal smell, and is an important component of mutton flavor essence. In 1941, P.A.LEVENE (P.A.LEVENE, and MARTIN KUNA, J.Biol.Chem., 141, 255, 1941) etc. reported the following synthetic method: 1) 2-methylheptanoic acid ethyl ester was hydrogenated to prepare 2-methylheptanol ; 2) the above-mentioned intermediate reacts with hydrogen iodide to prepare 2-methyl-1-iodoheptane; 3) the above-mentioned intermediate reacts with diethyl malonate, and the target product is obtained through hydrolysis and decarboxylation. [0003] The disadvantages of the above method are: the first step of hydrogenation reduction requires high temperature and h...
