ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A process for the preparation of diaminomaleonitrile in high purity comprising polymerizing hydrogen cyanide in the presence of an alkyl aluminum compound having the general formula
Description
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of diaminomaleonitrile and, more particularly, to a~l improved process for the preparation of diaminomaleo-nitrile by polymerizing hydrogen cyanide in the presence of alkyl aluminum and its derivatives.
Diaminomaleonitrile is known as a tetramer of hydrogen cyanide, having the structural formula:
.' 11 and is of great value as a starting compound for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, especially as a raw material for the manufacture of intermediates and medicinal compounds, such ~s dicyanopyrazine, ade~ine and dicyanoimidazole~ various chemicals~ agricultural chemicals and additives for foodstuffs.
However, it has been of a very high price because there has not been developed any favorable process for the synthesis thereof.
In a prior process, diaminomaleonitrile has been prepared by polymerizing hydrogen cyanide in a presence of a basic compound such as alkali cyanides, trialkylamines or organic quaternary ammonium hydroxid~s as a catalyst and separating and purlfying diaminomaleonitrile from the resulting polymerizate. This prior process, however, is low in reaction rate and in yield.
Pecently, great advance and improvement have been ac-complished and more than 50/O of yield can be obtained as dis-closed in Japanese Patent Open No. 2917/1971 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 5925/1972. In the former process diaminomaleo-~057305 :`
nitrile is prepared by polymerizing hydrogen cyanide using cyanogen together with hydrogen cyanide in a solvent in the pr0sence of a basic compound such as trialkylamines. Accord-ing to this process, although about 7~,h of yield can be attained, a large amount of cyanogen should be elnployed. Therefore, cyanogen should be previously prepared, so a special apparatus and process are necessary.
In the latter process, it ls prepared by dissolving hydrogen cyanide into dissolving dimethylsulfoxide, adding sodium cyanide as a catalyst and heating it in an autoclave.
~lowever, thi~ process has some disadvantages that separation and further recovering purificatio~ process of dimethylstllfoxide is necessary.
Further, polymerizate of hydrogen cyanide obtained by the above mentioned any known methods contains a large amount o~ perpolymerizate, diaminomaleonitrile has low purity, thus diaminomaleonitrile should be obtained by complicated purific-atlon processe~.
Accordingly, an object of the present inventlon is to provide a novel process for the preparation of diaminomaleo-nitrile.
~ nother object of the present inv0ntion is to provide a process for the preparation of diaminomaleonitrile in high purity, ~ still another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of highly pure diamino-maleonitril0 by a simple process in high yieldO

wherein Rl is alkyl containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and R2 and n3 are hyclrogen, halogen having 17 to 53 of atomic number or alkyl containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, In the above mentioned formula~ ~1 is preferably alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atom~, and R2 and ~3 are one member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, bromine~ iodin~ and allcyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Rl, R2 and R3 are more preferably alkyl containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms and most preferably alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Typical alkyl aluminum compound~ are trimethyl aluminum, triethyl aluminum~ tri-n-propyl aluminum~ triisopropyl alumin~lm, tri-n-butyl aluminum, triisobutyl aluminum~ tri-tert-butyl aluminum~ tripentyl aluminum, trihexyl aluminum, triheptyl aluminum, trioctyl aluminum, trinonyl aluminum, tridecyl alumi-num~ dimethyl aluminum hydride~ diethyl aluminum hydride,di-n-p~pyl aluminum hydride, diisopropyl aluminum hydride, di-n~butyl aluminum hydride~ diisobutyl aluminum hydride, di-t~rt-butyl aluminum hydride, dimethyl aluminum chloride, diethyl aluminum chloride, di-n-propyl aluminum chloride, diisopropyl aluminum chloride, di-n-butyl aluminum chloride, diisobutyl aluminum chloride~ di-tert-butyl aluminum chloride, dihexyl aluminum chloride, dioctyl aluminum chloride, dimethyl aluminum bromide, diethyl aluminum bromide, di-n-propyl aluminum bromide, diisopropyl aluminum bromide, di-n-butyl aluminum bromide~ di-tert-butyl aluminum bromide, dihexyl aluminum bromide~ dioctyl aluminum-bromide, dimethyl aluminum iodide, diethyl aluminum iodide~ di-n-propyl aluminum iodide, dil~opropyl aluminum iodide~ di-n-butyl aluminum iodide~

According to the present invention~ although poly-merization of hydrogen cyanide may be carried out in the ab~ence of a solvent~ it is preferably treated and sub~ected to reaction under an inert gas and/or a solvent Any solvent which can be dissolved the alkyl aluminum compound and does not decompose it may be used. Typical solvents are an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene~ toluene, xylene, pseudocumene, durene~ etc " an aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon such as hexane~ heptane, octane, decane~ dodecane, cyclohexane, cyclo-heptane~ cyclododecane~ etc. The solvent may be used in amounts of the weight ratio to hydrogen cyanide of generally from 1 to ~0~ preferably 10 to 30.

Although reaction time depends upon the amounts of the catalyst~ it i5 generally 1 hour to 7 days, preferably 24 to 96 hours. If alkyl aluminum halide is u~ed as a catalyst~ reaction rate is increased by adding a basic compound such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine and the like in an about equivalent. Reaction pressure is automatically decided based on used amount of the catalyst~ amount of the solvent and the reaction temperature, but high pressure is not necessary~ and good results in yield and purity can be obtained by carrying out the reaction for a .
:',.; .
long time in a dilute solution.
When the solvent is use~, reaction product is precipi-tated~ 80 white needle crystals of highly pure dia~inomaleo-0 nitrile can be obtained only by filtrating the precipitate by a screen or a filter after completion of reaction and drying it. ~urther, the catalyst is still remained in the solvent after removing the reaction product, so it can be repeatedly used in the subsequent reaction by filtrating the solvent by means of usual fiter paper or cloth.
As mentioned above, condiderably highly pure diamino-maleonitrile can be obtained in high yield by employing the . .~ .
alkyl aluminum compound as a polymerization catalyst for hydrogen cyanide in the present invention, so purification thereof is not substantially necessary, it is very eaonomical on account of high yield. Further, in case of solution poly-merization the reaction product 18 precipitated during the reaction, 80 diaminomaleonitrile can be obtained a~ a highly pure white crystals merely by filtration after completing the reaction, Thus not only the separation process of the reaction product is simple, but also allcyl aluminum compound used as the catalyst can be easily removed by filter paper or cloth after completing the reaction. Therefore~ there are advantages that special recovering purification process for the solvent is not necessary and it can be repeatedly used as it is for the subsequent raaction.
