Manufacture Information

Methyltetrahydrofuran is synthesized by various methods, which can be divided into diol method, lactone method and furfural method according to different starting materials.

Dihydric alcohol method:

It can be prepared by dehydration of 2 ‑ methyl ‑ 1,4 ‑ butanediol with pentaethoxyphosphorus as catalyst and dichloromethane as solvent. This method has mild conditions, high yield and relatively low requirements for equipment. However, raw materials are rare and easy to cause environmental pollution, so it is difficult to popularize.

Lactone method:

It can be prepared by dissolving lactone in alcohol solution with hydrated zirconia as catalyst. This method has short process and high yield, but the reaction conditions are harsh, and a large amount of heavy metal pollution will be generated.

Furfural method:

The most remarkable feature is that it can be prepared from furfural, an important agricultural and sideline product. The process is mature, the technology is stable, and the cost is low, which opens up a broad prospect for the deep processing of agricultural and sideline products. However, using furfural as raw material requires harsh reaction conditions, especially high pressure requirements and high equipment investment.

Specific method:
 

Method 1:

Add copper nitrate and nickel nitrate into the silicon oxide aqueous solution in proportion. After stirring uniformly at room temperature, adjust the pH by adding precipitant until the precipitation of Cu and Ni ions is complete, and then continue stirring. The obtained solution was filtered, dried and calcined to prepare a catalyst precursor. The precursor was passed with hydrogen, and the catalyst bed was heated to prepare a Cu based catalyst Cu Ni / SiO2.

Cu based catalyst Cu Ni / SiO2 was added to the continuous fixed bed reactor. The reaction temperature was 160 ℃, the pressure was 2.8MPa, the molar ratio of hydrogen to levulinate was 80, the mass space velocity of levulinate was 1.0h-1, the conversion of levulinate was 100%, and the selectivity of 2-MeTHF was 97.8%.

Method 2:

Weigh RuCl3 and ZnCl2, add pure water to prepare an aqueous solution, put it into a flask, then add activated carbon carrier, seal it, put it in a constant temperature water bath, and then heat up and stir. Then adjust the pH value of the solution to 9 with NaOH, reduce and filter with analytical pure formaldehyde, wash the filter cake with deionized water until there is no chloride ion in the filtrate, and put the filter cake into a vacuum oven for drying to obtain the composite catalyst.

Preparation of 2-methf: add 100g and 1g of MEF (1% of the mass of MEF) of the composite catalyst prepared as above into the pressure reactor, and carry out liquid phase hydrogenation reaction under the conditions of reaction temperature of 100 ° C and reaction pressure of 4.0Mpa; After the hydrogen absorption is terminated, the reaction liquid is cooled to 20 ℃, the excess hydrogen is evacuated, and the reaction product is filtered to remove the catalyst after being replaced twice with nitrogen. The filtrate is sampled for gas phase analysis. The content of 2-MeTHF is 26.7%, and the content of 2-methylfuran is 70.1%.

Chemical

Usage

Methyltetrahydrofuran (chemical formula C ₅ H ₁₀ O) is an important organic compound that is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature and pressure. It has an ether like odor and turns pale yellow to brown when exposed to light, light, or stored for a long time. It is soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, and chloroform.

As a solvent
 

1.1 Resin, rubber, and cellulose solvents
Mainly used as a solvent for resins, natural rubber, ethyl cellulose, and chloroacetic acid vinyl acetate copolymers. In the resin processing, it can dissolve various resins, making the resin have good fluidity and processability, which facilitates the molding and processing of the resin. For example, in the manufacturing of coatings, adhesives, and other products, as a solvent, the viscosity of the resin can be adjusted to give the product better coating and bonding properties. In the processing of natural rubber, it can dissolve rubber, promote the mixing of rubber with other additives, and improve the quality and performance of rubber products. For polymer materials such as ethyl cellulose and chloroacetic acid vinyl acetate copolymers, they can also exhibit good solubility, providing convenience for the processing and application of these materials.

1.3 Alternative to traditional toxic solvents
Can be used as a green solvent to replace traditional toxic solvents such as benzene, toluene, chloroform, etc. Benzene, toluene, chloroform and other solvents have high toxicity and volatility, causing serious harm to the environment and human health. And it has low toxicity and volatility, with minimal environmental pollution, meeting the requirements of modern chemical industry for green chemistry. In the fields of synthetic fragrances, new materials, etc., using it as a solvent can reduce the health hazards to operators, lower environmental pollution, and ensure product quality and performance.

Application in the field of organic synthesis
 

3.1 Reaction solvent
It is commonly used as a reaction solvent in organi synthesis. It is stable and not easily decomposed over a wide temperature range, providing a stable reaction environment for organi synthesis reactions. The choice of reaction solvent has a significant impact on the yield and selectivity of organi synthesis reactions.
