The present invention relates to the field of compound synthesis, and discloses a D-p-hydroxyphenyl
glycine (short for DHPG) preparation process, which comprises: synthesizing a DL-para-hydroxyphenylglycine
sulfate solution (DL-para-hydroxyphenyl
glycine is short for HPG) by using
phenol,
glyoxylic acid and the like as raw materials; purifying, adding a resolving agent, and performing an asymmetric resolution reaction to obtain a D-p-hydroxyphenyl
glycine-phenylethane
sulfonic acid double salt; adding an alkali liquid to the obtained
double salt in a dropwise manner, and carrying out a
hydrolysis reaction and other operations to obtain a D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine
crystal; and carrying out further treatment on the
mother liquor containing the resolving agent phenylethane
sulfonic acid, andrecycling. According to the present invention, the preparation process is mainly characterized in that the composite catalyst is introduced, and the three steps are eliminated, such that the
production cycle is shortened by 12 h; the short synthesis
route is short, and the loss is low, such that the yield of D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine is increased by 7-9%, and the
water consumption is reduced by 15-16%; the technical prejudice of the previous D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine preparation process in the prior art is objectively overcome, and the unexpected effect is achieved; and the D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine preparation process has characteristics of production cost reducing and production efficiency improving, and easily achieves water
resource saving and environment protection.
