Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

4,4-Disubstituted 5-methylene-1-3-dioxolan-2-ones I
(I)

Description

13t~3C~

The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of 4,4-disubstituted 5-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones of the general formula (1):

R
R - C - C = CH2 (I) O O
C
o where Rl is a Cl-C40 organic radical and R2 is Cl-C4-alkyl, and R and R may furthermore be bonded to form a 5-m ~ ered or 6-membered ring, by reacting a prop-1-yn-3-ol of the general formula (II):

R - C - C - CH (II) OH
with carbon dioxide in the presence of a copper salt and a tertiary base as catalysts.
Apart from the improvement according to the invention, this process is disclosed in German Patent 1,098,953, but is unsatisfactory in that it either gives space-time yields which are too low or requires unecono-mically harsh reaction conditions.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome these disadvantages.
It has now been found that this object is achieved by an improvement of the process defined at the outset, wherein the process is carried out in the presence of an effective amount of a quaternary ammonium or phos-phonium salt of the general formulae IIIa and IIIb:

B

13~3~5~
- 2 - 0. Z . 0050/37327 [ ~ ~ e and ~R R~

IIIa IIIb where the substituents R are identicaL or different hydro-carbon radicals, each of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, the total number of carbon atoms in the radicals R being no higher than 24 in each case, and X is halogen, preferably bromine.
Because the salts III generally are suitable, the choice of these salts depends mainly on their availability and their price. In particular, the ammonium salts IIIa are therefore used in practice, the commercially available 1û and read;ly prepared tetraethylammonium bromide be;ng a prime example. Other noteworthy compounds IIIa are those in which three of the radicals R are lower alkyl groups, such as methyl or ethyl, and the fourth is be`nzyl or a straight-chain C6-C18-alkyl radical.
Phosphonium salts IIIb which are most eas;ly obtainable are those which are derived from triphenyl-phosphine and whose fourth substituent has been introduced into the molecule by quaternization with a C1^C6-alkyl bromide.
In general, the hydrocarbon radicals in the com-pounds IIIa and IIIb may be branched or, preferably, stra;ght-chain C1-c2o-alkyl groups, aralkyl groups, such as benzyl, or cyclohexyl or aromatic groups such as phenyl or p-tolyl. Furthermore, alkyl rad;cals R may be 25 bonded to one another, for example with formation of a piperidine ring or of a corresponding phosphorus hereto-cycle.
Frequently, and part;cularly in the case of the bromides, it is not necessary to start from the salts III
themselves, but is suff;c;ent to employ their precursors, ie. the base and the quaternization reagent, from which the active quaternization products III form by themselves.

~3~3(~S~
~``` - 3 - O.Z. OOSO/37327 The onium salts III can in principle be used in any desired amount since observations to date have shown that they only influence the reaction rate, which in turn depends on the type of propynol II employed. For reaction times of about 0.5-5 hours, which are satisfactory indus-trially, about 1-5 millimoles of III are required per mole of II in the case of reactive propynols II, eg. 3-methyl-but-1-yn-3-ol, and 5-10 millimoles of III are prefer-ably used per mole of II in the case of less reactive propynols II.
A particular advantage of the novel process is that it can be carried out successfully at as low as atmospheric pressure, and as a rule a pressure higher than 20 bar is not necessary. On the other hand, the reaction can also readily be carried out under any superatmospheric pressure, for example where the propynol II used is very unreactive or particularly short reaction times are desired.
However, if the procedure is carried out under a pressure above 100 bar, a marked advantage would be obtained only in exceptional cases.
Furthermore, the reaction temperatures, which are preferably as hi~h as 200C in the process disclosed in German Patent 1,098,953, can be substantially reduced by the novel process, ie. to 50-100C. H;gher temperatures, eg. up to 200C, should as a rule therefore only be used in the case of propynols II which are not very reactive.
As in the case of the basic process of German Patent 1,098,953, co~per salts and tertiary bases serve as further catalysts.
Suitable copper salts are ;n principle all ionic compounds of monovalent and divalent copper, eg. the oxides, hydrox;des, sulfates, nitrates and phosphates, in parti-cular the halides and the salts of C2-C16-fatty acids, especially the acetates.
The copper salts can ;n pr;nc;ple be used in any amount but are preferably used ;n amounts of from 1 to 10 m;llimoles per mole of II in order to achieve ~3V3~
- 4 - O.Z. 0050/37327 satisfactory reaction rates.
Suitable tertiary bases are trialkylamines, such as triethylamine, and heterocyclic nitrogen bases, such as pyridine. Tertiary phosphines, such as tributylphos-phine and triphenylphosphine, are preferred. The amountof the base is not critical and is in general from 1 to 10 millimoles ~er mole of II.
The reaction is preferably carried out in the absence of a solvent, although an inert solvent, such as dioxane, toluene, acetone or glycol diethyl ether may be present in an amount of about 25-200X by weight, based on the propynol II employed. If the product I is a liquid under the reaction conditions, it is advantageously used as the solvent. To avoid hydrolysis of the products, it is advisable to carry out the procedure in the absence of water.
The novel process does not possess any special features in terms of process engineering, ie. it can be carried out batchwise or continuously in a conventional manner by bring;ng a mixture of II, the catalyst components and, if required, the solvent into contact with the carbon dioxide under the reaction conditions, while stirr;ng thoroughly.
Usually, II is converted virtually quantitatively, after which ~he reaction mixture is worked up in a con-ventional manner. Catalyst-containing residues obtained in this step can generally be used several times for further reaction batches.
Observations to date have shown that the success 3a of the novel process is independent of the type of pro-pynol II employed, provided, of course, that the radical R1 does not contain any substituents which are reactive under the reaction conqitions.
Examples of radicals R1 are - saturated and unsaturated, branched and straight-chain alipha.ic radicals of not more than 4û carbon atoms, - isocycLic and heterocyclic cycloaliphatic groups 13~?3~

- S - O.Z. 0050/37327 preferably possessing 5-7 ring members, - isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic groups, - mixed radicals containing groups of the abovemen-tioned types, for example araliphatic radicals, such as benzyl and - radicals which are bonded to R2 to form 5-membered or 6-membered rings.
These groups may carry substituents such as halo-gen, nitro, free or substituted amino groups, hydroxyl, formyl or cyano, or contain ether, ketone or ester groups.
R2 is, as a rule, methyl, or may be bonded to R1 to give further radicals, eg. cyclohexylidene.
Examples of propynols II are 3-methyl-but-1-yn-3-ol, 3-methylpent-1-yn-3-ol, 3-ethylpent-1-yn-3-ol, 1-ethynyl-cyclohexan-1-ol and dehydrolinalool (3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yn-3-ol).
The products I are useful intermediates for organic syntheses.
EXA~PLE 1 Preparation of 4,4-dimethyl-5-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-one 1260 9 (15 moles) of 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol were reacted, at 80c and under a C02 pressure of 20 bar, witn a copper salt, a tertiary base and tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB), and for comparison also in the absence of TEAB.
The Table below gives details of the type and amount of catalyst components, the reaction time and the yields of the dioxolanone.
