Problems solved by technology

The reaction raw materials of this method cannot be generally purchased, and the reaction conditions are harsh, requiring anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions, the catalytic hydrogenation process is highly dangerous, and the catalyst is expensive
And other similar methods can only synthesize the alkyl succinic acid that the alkyl side chain is terminally substituted, and the 2-(1-methyl alkyl) succinic acid that the desired target product alkyl substitues terminal has certain difference

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a 2-(1-methylalkyl) succinic acid. The method comprises the following steps: (1) producing 1,1,2-ethane tricarboxylic acid triethyl ester from ethyl bromoacetate and diethyl malonate by condensation reaction; (2) producing 3-methyl alkane-1,1,2-tricarboxylic acid triethyl ester from the 1,1,2-ethane tricarboxylic acid triethyl ester and 2-bromoalkane; (3) mixing 3-methyl alkane-1,1,2-tricarboxylic acid triethyl ester with LiCl / H2O, heating and carrying out decarboxylation to obtain 2-(1-methylalkyl) diethyl succinate; and (4) hydrolyzing the 2-(1-methylalkyl) diethyl succinate in a strong alkali solution to obtain the 2-(1-methylalkyl) succinic acid. The method is wide in reaction material source, low in price, mild in reaction condition, complete in reaction, and less in side reaction, and a 2-(1-methylalkyl) succinic acid homologous compound of which the alkyl carbon chain is 3-16 carbons in length can be prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of organic compound synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of succinic acid. Background technique [0002] As one of the main components of petroleum, alkanes widely exist in the underground oil reservoir environment. As an extreme environment, oil reservoirs harbor a variety of microorganisms. In recent years, a variety of alkane anaerobic degradation pathways have been proposed by means of laboratory cultivation. Among them, the fumaric acid addition reaction mechanism is the most important and common. This mechanism activates the alkane for subsequent metabolism by adding fumaric acid at the C-2 position of the alkane to give 2-(1-methylalkyl)succinic acid. Since 2-(1-methylalkyl)succinate occurs only during the anaerobic degradation of alkanes and there is no commercial source for this substance, it was considered a biomarker. By detecting this substance, it can directly indicate the existence of mic...
