At present, 1,2, 6-hexanetriol is industrially produced mainly based on a fossil resource path and is mainly prepared by hydrolyzing and hydrogenating acrolein dimer. The process route has the defects of high cost of reaction raw materials, non-regeneration, multiple process steps, high emission and the like.
The biomass resource is a renewable organic carbon source, has the characteristics of wide distribution, low price, easy obtainment, neutral carbon and the like, and is widely concerned by chemical workers at home and abroad in recent years when the biomass and the derivatives thereof are used for preparing liquid fuels and fine chemicals. Biomass-derived furans, typically 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, can be obtained from the dehydration of hexoses. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural has been listed as an important biomass platform compound and can be directionally converted into a variety of Chemical products by catalytic means, including 1,2, 6-hexanetriol, 1, 6-hexanediol, 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid, 2, 5-dimethylfuran, levulinic acid, etc. (Chemical reviews,2013,113: 1499-1597.). The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is used as a reaction raw material to directly produce the 1,2, 6-hexanetriol, and the defects of high raw material cost and multiple reaction steps of the existing process can be overcome.
The 1,2, 6-hexanetriol prepared by hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural can be obtained by direct hydrogenolysis of furan ring under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst. The literature reports that 1,2, 6-hexanetriol with the highest concentration of 64.5 percent is obtained by using Ni-Co-Al composite oxide (ACS Sustain. chem. Eng.2014,2:173-180) as a catalyst and methanol as a solvent and reacting for 12 hours under the conditions of 120 ℃ and 4.0 MPa.
