Description

The present invention relates to a process for the pre-paration of substituted aromatic amines, which process is particu-larly simple and selective, and to the novel compounds produced by this process.
The çompounds according to the invention are of yreat interest in the field of "fine chemicals" and, particularly, in the field of dyestuffs, as they are basic intermediate products for their synthesis. ~ore particularly, these compounds can be used for the preparation of azodyes of general formula:
R - N - N ~ N \
R
Wherein R represents the radical of a diazo-component of the ben-zenic, naphthalenic or heterocyclic series, variously substituted, and Rl, R2, R3 and R4 represent alkyl radicals.
The process according to the invention for the prepara-tion o~ aromatic amines substituted by direct amination with N-chloro-amlnes in a Redox type system, comprises the step of reading an aromatic compound 1,4-di-substituted with an etheric and an acylaminic group with an N-chloro-amine in a reaction medium acidified with a strong acid.
The compounds according to the invention are covered by the general formula:
N
wherein R3 represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, optionally substituted with carboxy carboxyalkyl ha.ving from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxy, halogen or phenyl; and R4 ~)9~1Z91 represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, optionally substituted with carboxy or carboxyalkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
It is well known that the N-dialkylation of an aromatic amine is a poorly selective process due to the contemporaneous formation of the secondary amine and of the ~uaternary ammonium salt. In order to avoid this drawback, T. L. Kruger et al.
~Jr. Org. Chem. 40, 77 (1975 ~ have suggested using, in the case of various similar amines (methoxy-halogen and nitro-anilines), a complete methylation to quaternary ammonium salt with the suc-cessive removal of the third methyl group by distillation in a current of steam in a strongly basic medium.
The synthesis technique for aromatic N-alkylamines by amination of aromatic substrates with chloroamine in the presence of a reducing salt (ferrous, cuprous or titanous salt) in an acid reaction medium, has been described in U.S. patent 3,483,255, in which are alkylaminated non-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, naphthalene or t~eir derivatives monosubstitut-ed with chlorine, bromine, iodine, -OCH3, etc. (column 1, line 25, and following of the cited patent).
The present invention proposes a new and improved process for the preparation of substituted aromatic amines. It also proposes new chemical compounds, ie substituted aromatic amines.
It has now surprisingly been found that it is possible to obtain substituted aromatic amines by effecting high selectivity amination on aromatic compounds 1,4-disubstituted with substltuents that are different from each other but that have the same activat-ing effect towards the amination, while the formation of two isomers was reasonably foreseeable.
The process according to this invention is carried out by reacting an aromatic compound 1,4-di-substituted in a suitable k~ -2-. ~
~l0~92~LZ~
reaction medium of an acidic nature (e.g. concentrated H2SO~, mixturesoEH2SO4 - solvent in which the solvent may, for instance, be H20, methanol, acetic acid, etc., and in which the concentration by weight of the sulphuric acid is at least equal to 25~ of the total mixture), with a suitable N-chloroamine, in the presence of a catalyst of the REDOX type, for instance FeSO4, at more or less low temperatures, for instance around room temperature.
The N-halogen-amine may be, for instance N-chloro-methyl-' amine, N-chloro-dimethylamine, N-chloro-methyl-ethylamine, N-chloro-methyl-benzylamine, N-chloro-piperidine, N-chloro-N'-methylpiperazine and the likes'.
One of the substituents of the benzenic ring is an ethe-ric or etheric-substituted group such as e.g.: OCH3, OC2H5 and the like. The other is an amidic or amidic substituted group, for instance: NHCOCH3, NHCOC2H5, NHCOCH2Cl, NHCOCH2COOH.
This process is particularly effective for the p'roduc-tion of aromatic substrates para-disubstituted with an etheric group and an acyl-amide group, the so-obtained aromatic amines ' h`aving the foIlowing general structure:
amines of the general structure:
R

wherein:
Rl represents a hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
R2 is identical to Rl except the hydrogen;
Rl and R2 may also form together with N a piperidine ring;
R3 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atom, optionally ~ . .
109~4 substituted with carboxy, carboxyalkyl having ~rom 1 to 4 carbon akoms, hydroxy, halogen or phenyl; and R4 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atorns, optionally substituted with carbo~y or carboxyalkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The process according to the invention shows a higher selectivity for the production of aromatic amine compounds described above than that obtained using the known method described in Beilst. 13 II, 1341, involving a final alkylation with alkyl sulphate or alkyl halide of the intermediate:
i OR4 ~ NH2 .. ~

fibres.
The process of this invention permits the synthesis of amino-benzenic derivatives trisubstituted in position 1, 2, 4 and consists in treating an aromatic substrate 1,4-di-substituted with a suitable N-halogen-amine in a Redox-type system containing salts such as for instance ferrous, cuprous or titanous salts, and an inorganic strong acid, such as for instance sulphuric acid, or an organic strong acid such as for instance trifluoro-acetic acid, or A~
1~9Z~L2~
mixtures thereof with acetic acid.
The process of this invention is preferably conducted at room pressure. The tempe,rature range within which the reaction takes place is very wide; thus, for instance, good results are obtained between 0 and 40C with acyl derivatives of phenetidine, and with the alcoxyanilides in general.
The molar ratios be-tween N-chloro-amines and the aromatic substrates may vary according to the syntheses. Most common are ratios comprised between 1:3 and 3:1, with preference for a modest excess of chloroamine.
' The catalyst may vary with respect to the N-chloro-amine from 1:; to 1:100 in mols, according to the cases, preferably comprised between 1:1.2 and 1:50.
Also with regard to the quantity of acid mixture ther~
r " ~;
may be used the most various ratios in respect of the aromatic substrate.
The procedures for carrying out the process are the following:
Into a reactor fitted with a stirrer and provided with a thermometer, a funnel with a tap and a coolant, there are intro-duced in the given order:
A) the acid mixture, B) the aromatic substrate, C) a solution of N-chloro-amine in the acid mixture, and D) the catalyst.
~In the case sulphuric acid of a high concentration is used, care must be taken that the temperature, during the loading of the aro-matic substrate charge and of the N-chloro-amine solution, be suf-ficiently low to avoid the sulphonation of the substrate itself).
The catalyst is admixed gradually, controlling the development of HCl, which latter may be absorbed according to con-ventional techniques, (in the case of easily sulphonable substrates, if one operates with highly concentrated sulphuric acid, it is preferable to check the increase of temperature during the addition of the catalyst~.
Once the development of HCl has stopped, the content of the reactor is discharged on ice, under stirring, and the start-ing product is extracted, in case this be still present, from the acid solution by means of a suitable solvent, for instance chloro-form.
After alkalinization with a concentrated alkaline solu-tion for instance a 30 % caustic soda, the desired reaction pro-duct is extracted with a suitable solvent.
The choice of the solvent is essentially bound to the distribution coefficient of the product between solvent and aque-ous solution.
~z~z~
The classes of solvents may vary widely since, accord-ing to opportunity, there may be used: esters, ketones, ethers, aliphatic or aromatic chlorinated solvents.
After distillation of the solvent, one obtains the finished products, in general in a state of purity already useful for subsequent uses.
In some cases it may be useful to sub~ect the desired product to a crystallization from a suitable solvent or to a fractionated precipitation such as chlorohydrate, sulphate, phosphate, etc.
The new compounds synthesized with the above described process, have the following general formula (II):
~ U ~ ~II) ; ' wherein R3 and R4 have the ~eanings defined by formula (I).
The examples that follow hereunder are given for purely illustrative purposes and are not to be taken in anyway as limiting more general aspects of the inventive idea.
In said examples where not otherwise indicated, the - term "parts" must be understood as expressed in units of weight.
The yield is calculated on the quantity of N-chloroamine used.
