Method for synthesizing cyclohexene oxide by modified titanium dioxide photocatalysis cyclohexene
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysis, in particular to a method for synthesizing cyclohexene oxide by modified titanium dioxide photocatalysis cyclohexene.
Background
The epoxycyclohexane is a colorless or light yellow liquid with fragrance, is insoluble in water, can be compatible with volatile substances such as ethanol, acetone, ether and the like, and is an important organic synthesis intermediate in industry. Because of the existence of very active epoxy groups in the molecular structure, the epoxy groups are very easy to react with amine, phenol, alcohol, carboxylic acid, water and the like in an open loop under acidic or alkaline condition, a series of compounds with high added value can be generated, and the epoxy groups can be used for preparing related products such as medicines, pesticides, curing agents, diluents, flame retardants, plasticizers, adhesives, surfactants and the like. The organic solvent is also an organic solvent with strong dissolving capacity, and can be used for diluting the epoxy resin. Therefore, the method has very wide application value.
In the prior art, the epoxycyclohexane is mainly obtained by recycling light oil fractionated in the process of preparing cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol by oxidizing cyclohexane, and the yield is limited by the yield of upstream products, thereby restricting the production and development of downstream products of the epoxycyclohexane.
In the common chemical synthesis method, the cyclohexene epoxidation is used for preparing the cyclohexene oxide, and in a specific process route, different catalysts such as metalloporphyrin, metal Schiff base, metal-EDTA, metal pyridine heterocycle, metal phthalocyanine, heteropolyacid and metal salt can be selected, and different oxidants are selected, besides common oxygen and air, TBHP, naOCl, H 2O2、PhIO、NaIO4 and the like are also generally used. However, the choice of cyclohexane oxidation is relatively complex, with two possible oxidation sites, which may occur either on the double bond or on the allylic position, resulting in low yields of epoxycyclohexane and demanding catalytic conditions. Therefore, a preparation method with high yield and mild conditions is urgently needed.
With decades of development, the use of photocatalysis in organic synthesis is becoming more and more mature. Mojarrad et al report that under the drive of photocatalysis, using a complex of para-or ortho-substituted meta-tetraarylporphyrin and Lewis acid as a photocatalyst for oxidizing olefin, the conversion rate of cyclohexene is preferably 93%, the conversion rate of cyclooctene is preferably 89%.(Mojarrad AG,et al.European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry,2017,21,2854–2862.)Hosseini-Sarvari M, and the like, styrene is selectively oxidized by Pd/ZnO nanoparticles under visible light to form styrene oxide, the conversion rate of styrene is preferably 90%, and the yield of styrene oxide is preferably 80%. (Hosseini-Sarvari M, et al chemistry select,2020,5 (28): 8853-8857.) Huang et al prepared a photocatalyst (CuNPs/TiN) with copper nanoplatelets (CuNPs) supported on titanium nitride (TiN), which was not only stable in air, but also was capable of catalyzing various olefins under light, styrene under air, conversion was 100%, and selectivity of ethylene oxide was 89%. (Huang Y, et al ACS,2017,7,4975-4985.)
The photocatalytic oxidation is a catalytic effect under the action of an external light source, takes a semiconductor as a catalyst, takes air, oxygen and the like as oxidants, takes light as energy, and has the characteristics of green, strong oxidizing property, mild reaction conditions and the like. Common photocatalysts include metal oxides, metal sulfides, bi-based photocatalysts, ag-based photocatalysts, g-C 3N4, metal organic framework materials and the like, but most photocatalysts have larger energy gaps, have narrow photoresponse range and are only active under ultraviolet light, so that the photocatalysts have low photocatalytic efficiency under visible light irradiation and are not high in application in real life.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome at least one of the defects in the prior art and provide a method for synthesizing cyclohexene oxide by modified titanium dioxide photocatalysis cyclohexene, which has the advantages of high catalytic efficiency, high yield, high selectivity, high stability and low cost.
The inventor finds that cyclohexene uses aldehydes as an auxiliary oxidant under the catalysis of metal phthalocyanine derivatives/doped titanium dioxide, and the cyclohexene is catalyzed to oxidize molecular oxygen under the irradiation of visible light to prepare cyclohexene oxide, after optimizing the reaction conditions, the conversion rate of cyclohexene is more than 90%, and the yield of cyclohexene oxide in the product is more than 80%, so that the reaction selectivity is high and the operation is simple and convenient.
The aim of the invention can be achieved by the following technical scheme:
a method for synthesizing cyclohexene oxide by modified titanium dioxide photocatalysis of cyclohexene comprises the following steps:
Cyclohexene is taken as a raw material, an organic solvent is added in the presence of an oxygen promoter, then a modified titanium dioxide catalyst is added, and the cyclohexene oxide is obtained by irradiation of light and oxygen introduction, heating and stirring reaction during the reaction.
Further, the oxygen-assisting agent comprises isobutyraldehyde or benzaldehyde.
Further, the organic solvent comprises any one of 1, 2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate or acetonitrile. Wherein, the 1, 2-dichloroethane is aprotic nonpolar solvent, the ethyl acetate is aprotic weak polar solvent, and the acetonitrile is aprotic strong polar solvent.
Further, the modified titanium dioxide catalyst is a metal phthalocyanine derivative/doped titanium dioxide catalyst.
Further, the metal phthalocyanine derivative is sulfonated cobalt phthalocyanine, and the doped titanium dioxide is iron-titanium dioxide. Wherein, the metal phthalocyanine derivative is a dye (photosensitizer), and the dye sensitization is widely applied in the method for preparing the photocatalyst, and can expand the catalytic area from ultraviolet light range to visible light range. The photosensitizer which has strong light absorption performance in the visible light region and is matched with the energy level structure of the photocatalyst is loaded on the surface of the photocatalyst through physical adsorption or chemical bond combination, so that the application range is increased. Besides using metal phthalocyanine derivatives as a carrier and using doped titanium dioxide as a carrier, experiments show that the doped titanium dioxide has higher selectivity to cyclohexene oxide than pure titanium dioxide, and the use of isobutyraldehyde also greatly improves the conversion rate of cyclohexene and the selectivity of cyclohexene oxide.
Further, the preparation method of the metal phthalocyanine derivative/doped titanium dioxide catalyst comprises the following steps:
dissolving n-butyl titanate and glacial acetic acid in absolute ethyl alcohol, dropwise adding water, continuously stirring to form stable titanium dioxide sol, dissolving ferric trichloride hexahydrate in absolute ethyl alcohol, slowly dropwise adding the ferric trichloride into the prepared titanium dioxide sol, continuously stirring to obtain iron ion doped composite semiconductor sol, standing, calcining to obtain iron doped titanium dioxide powder, and marking as Fe-TiO 2;
dispersing Fe-TiO 2 in methanol solution to obtain Fe-TiO 2 suspension, adding a silane coupling agent into the methanol solution, adding ammonia water to obtain a reaction solution, adding Fe-TiO 2 suspension into the reaction solution while stirring to obtain Fe-TiO 2-NH2, centrifuging and drying, adding CoPcS and Fe-TiO 2-NH2 into water, stirring, centrifuging and drying to obtain CoPcS/Fe-TiO 2.
Further, the silane coupling agent is 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES).
Further, the wavelength of the light is 400-800 nm. The reason why the catalyst used in the present invention is introduced into the metal phthalocyanine is to introduce the wavelength of photocatalysis into the visible light range, since Fe-TiO 2 alone can be excited at about 400nm at maximum, the application range is narrow, and the metal phthalocyanine can be excited in the visible light range, the visible light range is 400-800nm, so the wavelength range of light is selected to be 400-800nm, preferably 400-760mm.
Further, the reaction time is 12-27 h, and the reaction temperature is 10-50 ℃.
Further, the mass ratio of cyclohexene to the modified titanium dioxide catalyst is 1 (0.015-0.05), the mass ratio of cyclohexene to the auxiliary oxidant is 1 (0.5-3), the mass ratio of cyclohexene to the organic solvent is 1 (4-30), and the ratio of cyclohexene content to the flow of introduced oxygen is 1mol (800-3500 mL/min).
Compared with the prior art, the invention has obvious technical progress and has the following advantages:
(1) The invention uses light as energy and oxygen as oxidant, and has the characteristics of wide oxygen source, clean energy source, reduced reaction cost, green color, strong oxidability, mild reaction condition and the like.
(2) The modified titanium dioxide catalyst selected by the invention is metal phthalocyanine derivative/doped titanium dioxide, the carrier of the catalyst is doped titanium dioxide, and CoPcS is loaded on the surface of Fe-TiO 2 by an amino silanization method.

(4) The method for preparing the metal phthalocyanine derivative/doped titanium dioxide is novel, simple in operation and good in loading effect, the prepared catalyst has high conversion rate of cyclohexene, high selectivity of cyclohexene oxide, and easy separation and recycling of the catalyst, and the catalytic effect is still very high after multiple uses, so that the use cost of the catalyst is greatly reduced, and the catalyst has good industrial application prospect.
(5) The method has the advantages of environment-friendly oxidant, low-cost and easy preparation of the catalyst, easy separation of the catalyst from the product, less consumption of the auxiliary oxidant, mild reaction conditions, simple operation and the like, and is a green method for preparing the cyclohexene oxide.
