The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to an acetylacetone synthesis catalyst and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 10 parts of inorganic carrier materials, 0.5-2 parts of manganese oxide, 0.3-1 part of iron-based element oxidation Thing, 10-30 parts SAPO-11 molecular sieves. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing the inorganic carrier material and SAPO-11 molecular sieve in proportion, adding dilute sulfuric acid and deionized water, heating to 80°C and stirring for 30 minutes, and roasting at 250-400°C to obtain the catalyst carrier; manganese oxide and iron Grinding and pulverizing element oxides, adding them to the impregnating solution in proportion, stirring for 10-15min to obtain the impregnating solution; impregnating the catalyst carrier with the impregnating solution for 24-48h, drying at 110°C for 4h, and roasting at 350-500°C Get a catalyst. The catalyst obtained by the invention is used in the isomerization process of isopropenyl acetate, which can effectively improve the conversion rate of isomerization, thereby improving the yield and purity of acetylacetone.
