Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for producing anhydrosugar alcohol using an organic additive having one hydroxyl group. The present invention makes it possible to prevent oligomers and polymers from being produced by polymerization of isosorbide during dehydration of sorbitol molecules, and thus solves problems, including a reduction in fluidity in a dehydration reactor, interference with the flow of fluids in the reactor and pipelines, and interference with stirrer operation, which occur due to the oligomers and polymers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preparing anhydrosugar alcohol by dehydration of sugar alcohol, the method comprising a step of adding R—OH (R: linear or branched alkyl group having carbon atoms of at least 8) which comprises one hydroxyl group and has a boiling point of 100° C. or higher, as an additive for prohibiting polymerization by the dehydration. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the additive for prohibiting polymerization by the dehydration is an aliphatic alcohol having 12 to 24 carbon atoms. 3. A method of preparing anhydrosugar alcohol by dehydration of sugar alcohol, the method comprising a step of adding R—OH (R: a ketone group, an ether group, an ester group, or a carboxylic group) which comprises one hydroxyl group and has a boiling point of 100° C. or higher, as an additive for inhibiting polymerization during the dehydration. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the additive for prohibiting polymerization by the dehydration is poly(ethylene glycol)alkyl ether, poly(ethylene glycol)alkyl phenyl ether or poly(ethylene glycol)alkyl cyclohexyl ether. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the alkyl has 1 to 12 carbon atoms. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dehydration of the sugar alcohol is performed at a pressure of 0.01-50 mmHg and a temperature of 100-250° C. 7. A method of producing anhydrosugar alcohol by dehydration of sugar alcohol, the method comprising a step of adding an organic compound which comprises any one selected from the group consisting of amide and thiol and has a boiling point of 100° C. or higher, as an additive for prohibiting polymerization by the dehydration. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the organic compound further comprises an alcohol group. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the dehydration of the sugar alcohol is performed at a pressure of 0.01-50 mmHg and a temperature of 100-250° C.
