Background
The catalytic oxidation of unsaturated fatty alcohols to aldehydes is an important functional group conversion reaction in organic chemistry, and generally, the oxidation of unsaturated fatty alcohols requires the use of stoichiometric amounts of inorganic oxidants such as permanganate and chromate. These reagents efficiently oxidize unsaturated fatty alcohols to desired products while also generating a large amount of harmful by-products, which are costly, difficult to separate, and environmentally unfriendly. Oxygen is taken as an oxidant, and the byproduct is only water. However, oxygen molecules are more difficult to activate than most other oxidizing agents, and once activated, the reaction is difficult to control over oxidation to inhibit the formation of acids and esters, and to avoid oxidation and isomerization of unsaturated double bonds. In addition, the use of a large amount of an organic solvent in an oxygen atmosphere is likely to cause danger.
At present, the catalyst for the oxidation of unsaturated fatty alcohol mainly comprises supported palladium, gold, platinum, ruthenium and the like, but the catalytic effect is not satisfactory, and further optimization and improvement are needed. Therefore, in the present day that green chemistry is increasingly regarded as important, from the viewpoint of environmental protection and sustainable development, and from the viewpoint of improvement of economic benefits, there is an urgent need to develop a green high-efficiency oxidation system using hydrogen peroxide or oxygen to replace the conventional oxidation system and using water as a solvent, and it is very important to develop a novel, high-efficiency, high-selectivity catalyst for aldehydes suitable for aqueous media.
The invention designs the nano gold catalyst loaded by the synthetic alkaline polyester aiming at the characteristic of selective oxidation reaction in the aqueous medium, is applied to the selective oxidation of unsaturated fatty alcohol into unsaturated fatty aldehyde, has the selectivity of the reaction on the aldehyde as high as 100 percent, avoids the oxidation and isomerization of unsaturated double bonds, inhibits excessive oxidation to a great extent, and saves a great deal of energy consumption for later separation.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable progress:
the catalyst combines the characteristics of the nano gold particles and the basic polymer resin; the alkaline polymer resin has a spatial network structure, and trivalent gold ions are still fixed in the network after being subjected to coordination reduction with nitrogen in the trivalent gold ions; part of units in the carrier and the substrate have certain hydrophobicity, so that the concentration of the substrate can be locally increased, and meanwhile, the concentration of the catalyst is also locally increased by fixing the gold nanoparticles in the carrier, so that the oxidation reaction rate and the catalyst efficiency are effectively improved; after the gold nanoparticles are loaded on the basic resin, the basic resin can only swell but not dissolve, and can be recycled through simple filtration or centrifugation after the catalytic reaction is finished. The water solubility of unsaturated alcohol such as isopentenol is greatly improved after the unsaturated alcohol is oxidized into unsaturated aldehyde, so that the unsaturated alcohol can be quickly diffused into a water medium, the separation of a product and an active site is accelerated, and further, the further oxidation of the aldehyde is inhibited, and the enrichment of a substrate to the vicinity of an active center is promoted. When the catalyst is used for the selective oxidation of unsaturated fatty alcohol, the selectivity of the catalyst on unsaturated fatty aldehyde is 100%, the subsequent separation steps are reduced, and the utilization rate of raw materials is improved. Meanwhile, the synthetic method of the invention is simple and easy to implement, green and environment-friendly, safe and nontoxic, has wide development space and great market application value, and the unsaturated fatty alcohol oxidation reaction under the action of the catalyst takes water as a solvent and oxygen as an oxidant, does not need other additive auxiliaries, and meets the requirements of sustainable development.
