Synthesis and characterization of SO3H-functionalized silica solid acid catalyst and application for the production of diosgenin
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, thiol-functionalized silica SiO2-Pr-SH (Pr = −(CH2)3) was synthesized by self-hydrolysis of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) with the average particle sizes up to 1.9 μm. Then sulfonic acid-functionalized SiO2-PrSPr-SO3H was prepared by the 1,3-Propanesultone grafted onto SiO2-Pr-SH and used as solid acid catalysts for alcoholysis of total saponins in Dioscorea zingiberensis C. H. Wright (DZW) to the production of diosgenin. The as-prepared solid acid was fully characterized with FT-IR, Raman, TGA, BET, FESEM, EDS, elemental mapping, XPS, and XRD, respectively. The solid acid quantity, solvent dosage, extraction temperature, and time were studied by single-factor experiments. The maximum yield of diosgenin was calculated to be 16.73% relative to 0.1 g total saponins, which was higher than the sulfuric acid hydrolysis method. Importantly, it is an efficient alcoholysis approach for the production of diosgenin from total saponins and the prepared solid acid can be recycled in the reaction medium. The possible alcoholysis products and reaction mechanism were proposed on the basis of LC-MS results. This work not only provides a new solid acid for the production of diosgenin from DZW but also gives a beneficial synthetic reference for the preparation of high-activity SO3H-functionalized catalysts based on the organosilane.
