Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, the above-mentioned methods all use hydrogen as a reducing agent, and the reaction needs to be carried out under heating and pressure. The reaction conditions are harsh and the requirements for equipment are high; Causes a decline in product yield and purity
In addition, the above methods all require heavy metals as catalysts, which are not only expensive, but also easy to cause heavy metal pollution, which is not conducive to environmental protection.
If conventional chemical reducing agents are used, there are still problems such as commercially difficult realization of the reduction system, poor reduction effect, and low conversion rate. Therefore, the large-scale industrial application of these methods is limited to a certain extent.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesizing, and relates to a method for synthesizing azacycloheptane. The comprises the following steps: caprolactam under the shielding of inert gas in an organic solvent is reduced into azacycloheptane through a metal reducer; the azacycloheptane is extracted, cleaned, dried, concentrated and distilled into a pure azacycloheptane product of which the mass fraction is equal to or larger than 98 percent. The method has the advantages that the raw material is cheap and easy to obtain; the synthesizing steps are easy; the reaction condition is mild; the product yield and the purity are high; the industrialized application prospect is favorable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, and relates to a synthesis method of azepane, in particular to a method in which caprolactam is reduced by a metal reducing agent in an organic solvent to form azepane under the protection of an inert gas. Background technique [0002] Azacycloheptane, also known as hexamethyleneimine (HMI for short), homopiperidine, molecular formula C 6 h 13 N, the relative molecular weight is 99.18, the CAS number is 111-49-9, and the structural formula is: [0003] Azepane is an important chemical synthesis intermediate, which is widely used in medicine, pesticide, petrochemical and other fields. At present, azepane is mostly synthesized in industry by using hexamethylenediamine or caprolactam as raw materials through hydrogenation reduction. Among them, the process of synthesizing azepane with hexamethylenediamine as raw material has been basically eliminated at present, because hexamethylenediamine is ...
