The invention discloses a
solid acid catalyst for synthesizing 2-propyl-1,3-dioxocyclo-5-
pentene. A
sulfonic acid group is grafted on the surface of a carrier
silicon dioxide, and the preparation method of the
solid acid catalyst comprises the steps that an organosilicone
coupling agent containing a mercapto group is grafted to a
carrier material loading
silicon dioxide by adopting a post graftingmethod, and then the
solid acid catalyst is prepared through the processes of oxidation, acidification and the like. The method for using the
solid acid catalyst to synthesize the 2-propyl-1,3-dioxocyclo-5-
pentene comprises the steps that the
solid acid catalyst reacts with 1, 4-butylene glycol, n-butanal and a water-carrying agent, heating is conducted till no water is generated in the
water diversion backflowing process, filtering and reduced pressure
distillation are conducted,
cut fraction under the vacuum degree of -0.098MPa and at the
boiling point of 100-120 DEG C is collected, and theproduct 2-propyl-1,3-dioxocyclo-5-
pentene is obtained. The provided
solid acid catalyst has the
advantage that equipment is not corroded, no waste water is drained out, the cost is low, the yield ishigh, and the catalyst is liable to being recycled and used repeatedly.
