Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for preparing anhydrosugar alcohol, in which the reaction temperature in a vacuum reaction that converts sugar alcohol into anhydrosugar alcohol is controlled to two steps of temperature that is, a first-step low reaction temperature of 100 to 150° C. and a second-step high reaction temperature of 151 to 240° C., so that the selectivity for the intermediate product 1,4-sorbitan can be increased, thereby increasing the yield of anhydrosugar alcohol.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of preparing anhydrosugar alcohol comprising: subjecting an aqueous solution of sugar alcohol to a first-step reaction at a temperature of 100 to 150° C. in the presence of a catalyst and then subjecting the aqueous solution of sugar alcohol to a second-step reaction at a temperature of 151 to 240° C. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is a homogeneous catalyst. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first-step reaction and the second-step reaction are performed at a pressure of 1-200 mmHg. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first-step reaction and the second-step reaction are performed for 10-300 minutes and 10-180 minutes, respectively. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the anhydrosugar alcohol is isosorbide, and the sugar alcohol is sorbitol. 6 . The method of claim 1 , which is performed in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), a plug flow reactor (PFR), a trickle bed reactor (TBR) or a batch reactor (BR). 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second-step reaction product is collected by being condensed to liquid in a condenser maintained at a temperature of −40 to 100° C.
