Technological method for synthesis of optically pure L-/D-lactide catalyzed by biogenic guanidine |
摘要 |
A technological method for synthesizing optically pure L-/D-lactide by using a biogenic guanidine catalysis method. The method of the present invention comprises: by using biogenic guanidine creatinine (CR) as a catalyst and L-/D-lactic acid (90% of mass content) as a raw material, synthesizing optically pure L-/D-lactide by using a reactive reduced pressure distillation catalysis method. The method of the present invention has advantages that the used catalyst is biogenic guanidine creatinine and free of toxicity, metal, and cytotoxicity; the synthesized lactide is high in optical purity (the specific rotation of the L-lactide [α]25D=−276˜−280, and the specific rotation of the D-lactide [α]25D=280), and does not contain any metal; the amount of the catalyst used in reaction is low, the technological process is simplified (a process for rectifying and purifying a crude lactide product by using a conventional method is avoided); and the technological method is simple and convenient to operate and easy in industrial implementation. |

1. A method for synthesizing L-lactide or D-lactide comprising the following steps:
(1) carrying out dehydration and polycondensation of L-lactate or D-lactate by:
(1a) heating L-lactate or D-lactate at a temperature of 130° C.-170° C., at ambient pressure for 1-4 h, and(1b) heating the L-lactate or the D-lactate at a temperature of 130° C.-170° C. for 2-8 h at a pressure of 30-60 torr,to produce lactic acid oligomers with a weight-average molecular weight of 600-1500 Da;
(2) carrying out catalytic distillation of the lactic acid oligomers from step (1) to form crude L-lactide or D-lactide by:
(2a) mixing the lactic acid oligomers from step (1) with creatinine catalyst; and(2b) reacting the mixture for 1-4 h at a temperature of 150-260° C. and a pressure of 2-15 torr,to produce distilled white crude L-lactide or D-lactide;
(3) washing the crude L-lactide or D-lactide from step (2) with an alkaline solution having a mass concentration of 1-10% alkali, then washing to neutral using deionized water, and (4) vacuum drying the washed L-lactide or D-lactide at 20° C.-40° C. for 24-36 h to thereby obtain L-lactide or D-lactide. |
