Problems solved by technology

This type of method solves the problems of equipment corrosion and environmental pollution in the preparation of α-o-nitrophenylethanol in acidic medium, but metalloporphyrins are also required as catalysts, because such catalysts have low synthesis yields, separation and purification Difficulty, need to consume a large amount of organic solvents and other problems; In addition, the reaction temperature is high; and what is generated is a mixture of alcohol and ketone acids, the selectivity and yield of α-o-nitrophenylethanol are all low, and the separation is difficult; making it industrially App is restricted
[0003] To sum up, whether it is the traditional reduction method of acetophenone derivatives or the biomimetic catalytic oxidation method, there are many problems, such as equipment corrosion, high production cost, heavy metal pollution, environmental pollution, difficulty in catalyst synthesis, conversion rate, etc. and low yields, which limit its industrial application

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing alpha-o-nitrophenylethanol through oxygen oxidation of o-nitroethylbenzene in absence of a catalyst and relates to a preparation method of alpha-o-nitrophenylethanol. The method comprises the following steps: under a condition that any catalyst is not added, by taking o-nitroethylbenzene as a raw material, taking oxygen as an oxidizing agent and taking sodium hydroxide as base, reacting in alcohol or an aqueous solution thereof at a reaction temperature of 25-65 DEG C; and performing after-treatment, separating and purifying, thereby obtaining thealpha-o-nitrophenylethanol. According to the method, any catalyst is not needed; the price of the raw material is low; the ethanol can serve as a solvent, is hardly toxic, cheap and easy to recover and reutilize; the reaction temperature is moderate, and production control is easy; the raw material conversion ratio is high; the target product is high in selectivity, has the yield of 88% and alsohas wide application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of α-o-nitrophenylethanol, in particular to a method for preparing α-o-nitrophenylethanol by oxygen oxidation of o-nitroethylbenzene without a catalyst. Background technique [0002] α-Nitrophenylethanol is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, widely used in dyes, medicine, food, organic synthesis, photosensitive materials, textile industry and other fields. At present, the main method of synthesizing α-o-nitrophenylethanol is the reduction method of acetophenone derivatives (Organic Letters, 2005,7,1043; Photochemistry and Photobiology,2013,89,552; Chem Plus Chem,2013,78,1273; Eur .J.Org.Chem, 2015, 11, 2374; J.Org.Chem, 2016, 808, 68). However, there are very few reports on the preparation of α-o-nitrophenylethanol by oxidation of o-nitroethylbenzene. In 2011, Iranian scientist Fatemeh Rajabi and others reported that using o-nitroethylbenzene as a raw material, using silica-supported Co(II) a...
