Problems solved by technology

Although chiral menthone can be obtained, the improvement of the turnover number (TON) of this process is limited, the catalyst life is still short, and a large amount of phenol derivatives is required, which will have adverse effects on post-processing and the environment

Embodiment 1

[0040] Without taking special precautions, 3.02 mg of iridium trichloride, 0.31 mg of triphenyl phosphite, 2.46 mg of DBU phenate, and 162.37 g of L-isopulegol (95 wt %) were transferred to the reaction vessel and stirred until mixed Liquid is clear and transparent. The absolute pressure of the reaction was maintained at 0.2 MPa by feeding high-purity nitrogen gas, and the mixture was heated to 120° C. and stirred for 2 hours. Conversion and menthone yield were determined by calibrated GC analysis. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Embodiment 2

[0044] Without taking special precautions, transfer 0.98 mg of iridium acetylacetonate, 3.10 mg of triphenyl phosphite, 4.43 mg of DBU phenate and 173.14 g of L-isopulegol (98wt%) to the reaction kettle, and stir until the mixture Clear and transparent. The absolute pressure of the reaction was maintained at 0.5 MPa by feeding high-purity nitrogen, and the mixture was heated to 130° C. and stirred for 5 hours. Conversion and menthone yield were determined by calibrated GC analysis. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Embodiment 3

[0046] Without special precautions, 67.2 mg of 1,5-cyclooctadiene iridium(I) chloride dimer, 65.16 mg of triphenyl phosphite, 59.12 mg of DBU phenate, and 186.97 g of L-isopulegol (99wt%) was transferred to the reactor, stirred until the mixed solution was clear and transparent. The absolute pressure of the reaction was maintained at 1.0 MPa by feeding high-purity nitrogen gas, and the mixture was heated to 140° C. and stirred for 10 hours. Conversion and menthone yield were determined by calibrated GC analysis. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing chiral menthone enantiomer L-menthone and D-menthone by using L-isopulegol. The method comprises the steps that L-isopulegol, an iridium precursor with a ligand and a phosphine coordination complex in the formula (1) are in contact in a liquid medium, an addition agent is added to a reaction system, and L-isopulegol is directly subjected to a hydrogen transfer reaction. According to the method, the selectivity of L-menthone can be remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of chiral menthone, in particular to a method for synthesizing chiral menthone enantiomers L-menthone and D-isomenthone from L-isopulegol. Background technique [0002] Natural menthone has two configurations: L-menthone and D-isomenthone: L-menthone has a menthol-like aroma with a slightly bitter taste. Although D-isomenthone also has the aroma and cool taste of menthol, it has a slightly musty and bitter taste, and if the content is too high, the overall fragrance will be deteriorated. Therefore, pure L-menthone or products with high L-menthone content have better market prospect and application value. [0003] Patent US3124614 reports that menthone can also be obtained by hydrogenating thymol under the action of Pd catalyst, but the menthone obtained by this process is a racemic product, and its smell is different from natural menthone. [0004] Patent CN106061933A reports a method for preparing me...
