以α-蒎烯为原料,与HCl加成、异构得到2-氯莰烷,再经消除反应得到冰片烯,以丙酮-水混合溶剂为反应介质,高锰酸钾为氧化剂氧化冰片烯,得到樟脑醌。探讨了相转移催化剂及溶剂种类、KMnO4用量、丙酮与水的体积比,以及溶剂用量、反应温度、反应时间等对冰片烯氧化反应的影响,确定了适宜的氧化工艺条件:以高锰酸钾为氧化剂,高锰酸钾与冰片烯的物质量之比为3.0∶1;以丙酮-水混合溶剂作为氧化反应介质,丙酮与水的体积比为3∶1,丙酮-水混合溶剂与冰片烯的体积质量比为20∶1(mL/g);反应温度为30℃;反应时间4 h。在此工艺条件下,樟脑醌得率达85%以上。采用GC-MS、FTIR、1H NMR、13C NMR等分析手段对合成所得产物的化学结构进行了分析测定。
Synthesis of camphorquinone was carried out by using α-pinene as the starting material.2-chlorinated bornane was prepared by addition and isomerization of α-pinene and dry hydrogen chloride,and it was further eliminated HCl in order to obtain bornylene.Camphorquinone was finally obtained by oxidation of bornylene with KMnO4 in mixed acetone-water solvent.Influences of phase-transfer catalysts and solvent systems,the amount of KMnO4,acetone/H2O ratio and the amount of mixed solvent,reaction temperature and reaction time on the oxidation of bornylene were examined in detail,and the suitable oxidation conditions were determined as follows:KMnO4 was used as the oxidant for oxidizing bornylene into camphorquinone,and KMnO4/bornylene molar ratio was 3.0∶1;acetone/H2O mixture with a volume ratio 3∶1 was used as the solvent,and the solvent/bornylene ratio was 20∶1(mL/g);the oxidation of bornylene was conducted at 30 ℃ for 4 h.The yield of camphorquinone was over 85% under the aforesaid conditions,and its chemical structure was determined with GC-MS,FTIR,1H NMR,and 13C NMR spectra.
