n-Heptyl Aldehyde - Preparation

heptanal is contained in rose oil and perilla oil and was first synthesized by pyrolysis of castor oil in 1845. Castor oil contains glyceryl ricinoleate, which is alcoholized with methanol at room temperature in the presence of solid caustic potassium to obtain methyl ricinoleate. Acidize the reaction product with sulfuric acid, evaporate methanol, separate the sweet layer, and wash with water to obtain methyl ricinic acid. It is cracked in a pyrolysis furnace at 450-500 ℃ and 0.05-0.07MPa to obtain methyl unenoic acid and heptanal. The pyrolysis product is separated from the resin, and vacuum distillation is carried out to obtain methyl undecenoic acid (the raw material of undecenoic acid, an important intermediate of perfume) and heptanal. Heptanal is purified with sodium bisulfite and sodium carbonate to obtain pure products with a content of ≥ 88%, and castor oil is consumed about 5.5t per ton of heptanal.

preparation 500mL anhydrous pyridine is added to a dry reaction bottle equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a drying tube, cooled to 15 ℃ in an ice water bath, 68g(0.56mol) of anhydrous chromium trichloride is added in batches for 15min under stirring, and the temperature of the reaction liquid is not more than 20 ℃. Deep yellow flocculent precipitate was precipitated during the addition process, and the viscosity of the mixture increased. After adding, continue to stir and rise to room temperature, the viscosity decreases within 1h, and the yellow product is dark red crystal. Let it stand, pour away the pyridine, and wash it three times with anhydrous oil. Suction filtration, petroleum ether washing, vacuum drying, chromium trioxide-pyridine 150~160g, placed in a brown bottle and stored at 0 ℃. Heptanal: 650mL of anhydrous dichloromethane is added to the reaction bottle equipped with a stirrer, 77.5g(0.3mol) of chromium trioxide-pyridine complex is added at room temperature under stirring, then 5.8g(0.05mol) of n-heptanol is added once, after about 20min, the supernatant is poured out of insoluble brown jelly, and the insoluble residue is washed three times with ether. The dichloromethane and ether layer are combined, washed with 5% sodium hydroxide, 5% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium carbonate and saturated salt water in turn, and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After the solvent is distilled under reduced pressure, the fraction of 80~84 ℃/8.65kPa is collected to obtain 4~4.8g heptanal with a yield of 70% ~ 84%.
use used for organic synthesis and synthetic spices
GB 2760~96 stipulates that it is temporarily allowed to use edible spices. Mainly used to prepare citrus, vegetable and melon flavors.
heptanal is an important raw material for the synthesis of spices, which can be used to prepare heptanol, heptanoic acid esters, etc. The condensation of heptanal and benzaldehyde in water and alcohol solution can yield jasmine aldehyde. The reaction of heptanal and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of an acidic catalyst can produce heptanal diacetal ([688-82-4]). Both jasmine and heptanal diacetal are spices and are used to formulate perfume flavors. It is also a raw material for pharmaceutical, organic synthesis and rubber products.
