production method | 2-methylvaleraldehyde is obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of 2-methyl-2-pentenal, then, the product is prepared by carrying out hydroxymethylation and reduction reaction with formaldehyde. The hydrogenation reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentenal was carried out at 100 ° C. And 1.3-1.5MPa, and the yield was 80%. After 2-methylvaleraldehyde was obtained, it was added to 36% formaldehyde, and sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction was exothermic, and naturally warmed to 70 ℃, then heated to 90 ℃, fed for 1H, cooled to 60 ℃ and left to stand. The upper layer was washed with water, and the washing liquid was combined with the lower layer, extraction with benzene. The extraction liquid and the upper liquid are combined, and after distilling and recovering benzene, vacuum distillation is carried out to collect the 160 ℃(14.7kPa) fraction, which is 2-methyl -2-propyl -1, 3-propanediol, yield 93%. |
