The invention discloses a 1,1,3,3-
tetra alkyl guanidine carbonyl
cobalt metal organic
ion liquid. A structure formula of the
ion liquid is shown in the description. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the
ion liquid and application of the ion liquid in synthesizing of 3-hydroxy
carboxylate by
epoxy compound hydroesterification. The 1,1,3,3-
tetra alkyl guanidine carbonyl
cobalt metal organic ion liquid has the advantages that
guanidine cation has the double functions of stabilizing
tetra carbonyl
cobalt cation and using as a Lewis acid to activate
epoxy compound primer; compared with the traditional Co2(CO)8 / azacycle catalytic
system, the use of a
nitrogen-containing
organic matter is avoided; the ion liquid can be recycled and repeatedly used, the use rate of carbonyl cobalt is improved, and the production cost is reduced; the stability of the 1,1,3,3-tetra
alkyl guanidine carbonyl
cobalt metal organic ion liquid is high, the ion liquid can be repeatedly applied to
catalysis of
epoxy compound hydroesterification for multiple times, the catalytic reaction effect is good, and the separation and recycling are convenient.
