As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 597-31-9, name is 3-Hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanal, molecular formula is C5H10O2, The compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. Quality Control of 3-Hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanal
116 parts by mass of pentaerythritol was dissolved in 1800 parts by mass of water, and methanesulfonic acid (a product of Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.) was added thereto to make the resultant solution at pH 1.6. To the solution, 290 parts by mass of the HPA aqueous solution A prepared in Production Example 2 was added dropwise over 3 hours. A reaction temperature was set to 90 C. After completing the dropwise addition, the resultant solution was aged at 90 C. for 12 hours. After completing the aging, the resultant reaction solution was divided into 765 parts by mass and 1441 parts by mass, and the 1441 parts by mass of the reaction solution was solid-liquid separated to obtain 183 parts by mass of wet spiroglycol and 1130 parts by mass of a filtrate. Thereafter, the thus obtained wet spiroglycol was neutralized and washed with 500 parts by mass of a 500 ppm sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and subsequently the resultant was washed with 500 parts by mass of water. Thereafter, the spiroglycol was dried. Incidentally, the 765 parts by mass of the reaction solution also contains spiroglycol crystals, and the spiroglycol crystals work as a seed crystal in the reaction of the subsequent second and later cycles. (Second to Fifteenth Cycles of Spiroglycol Synthesis) (0159) 765 parts by mass of the reaction solution obtained in the reaction of the first cycle, 1000 parts by mass of the filtrate obtained in the reaction of the first cycle, 25 parts by mass of water, 116 parts by mass of pentaerythritol and 0.7 parts by mass of methanesulfonic acid were mixed. Here, the resultant solution had pH 1.6. To this solution, 290 parts by mass of the HPA aqueous solution A was added dropwise over 3 hours. A reaction temperature was set to 90 C. After completing the dropwise addition, the resultant was aged at 90 C. for 3 hours. After completing the aging, the resultant reaction solution was divided into 765 parts by mass and remaining 1431.7 parts by mass, and the 1431.7 parts by mass of the reaction solution was solid-liquid separated to obtain 244 parts by mass of wet spiroglycol and 1083 parts by mass of a filtrate. (0160) Then, also in the reaction of the third and later cycles, the reaction was repeatedly performed by mixing 765 parts by mass of the reaction solution obtained in the previous cycle, 1000 parts by mass of the filtrate, 25 parts by mass of water, 116 parts by mass of pentaerythritol and 0.7 parts by mass of methanesulfonic acid, and adding 290 parts by mass of the HPA aqueous solution A dropwise thereto over 3 hours. In the reaction of each cycle, about 80 to 90% by mass of the mother liquor of the whole reaction solution obtained in the previous cycle was used in the reaction of the next cycle. This synthesis reaction was repeatedly performed, and a stable mother liquor composition was obtained. In the reaction of the fifteenth cycle, the dried spiroglycol was obtained in an amount of 236 parts by mass in total. The yield of the spiroglycol based on the charged pentaerythritol (excluding the pentaerythritol contained in the filtrate) was 91.7% by mol.The same synthesis as that of Reference Example 5 was performed by mixing 765 parts by mass of the reaction solution obtained in the reaction of the fifteenth cycle of Reference Example 5, 1000 parts by mass of the filtrate, 25 parts by mass of water, 116 parts by mass of pentaerythritol and 0.7 parts by mass of methanesulfonic acid, and adding 290 parts by mass of the HPA aqueous solution A dropwise thereto over 3 hours (corresponding to the first cycle of SPG synthesis illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2). Then, 765 parts by mass of the reaction solution obtained by the reaction of this first cycle was used and mixed with 1000 parts by mass of the filtrate, 25 parts by mass of water, 116 parts by mass of pentaerythritol and 0.7 parts by mass of methanesulfonic acid, and 290 parts by mass of the HPA aqueous solution A was added dropwise over 3 hours to repeatedly perform the synthesis reaction of spiroglycol. This spiroglycol synthesis reaction was further repeated until an impurity concentration in the resultant spiroglycol was stabilized. (0163) The gas chromatographic purity of the spiroglycol obtained in the eleventh cycle of the SPG synthesis was found to be 99.58 area % of spiroglycol, with 0.01 area % of dioxane triol monoformal, 0.11 area % of hydroxypivalaldehyde neopentyl glycol acetal and 0.14 area % of spiro monoalcohol. The results are shown in Table 1. Besides, the transition of the impurity concentration in the spiroglycol is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 597-31-9.
