Description

Ion exchangers modified with mercapto amines _ ._ The condensation of phenols and carbonyl compounds to produce bisphenols is known. A wide variety of catalysts has already been used for this reaction; for example, hydrochloric acid (US-PS 2 182 308 and 2 191 831), boron trifluoride (Chemical Abstracts 58, 3338 c1, perchloric ~ acid ~Chemical Abstracts 60, 1626 h), benzene sulphonic `~ acid (Chemical Abstracts 59, 511 h) and various cation exchanger resins (e.g. GB-PS 842 209, 849 565 and 883 391). The addition of compounds containing sulphur to the catalyst is also known, e.g. the use of thioglycollic acid and 3-mercaptopropionic acid has been disclosed in US-PS 2 468 982 and 2 623 908, the addition of thio-~; phenols in US-PS 2 359 242, the addition of alkylmercaptans in US-PS 2 775 620 and the addition of hydrogen sulphide in Chemical Abstracts 58, 1403 e.
These known catalysts containing sulphur give rise to considerable damage by corrosion in industrial practice.
Bisphenols prepared with the aid of these catalysts are contaminated crude products which contain unreacted phenol, carbonyl compounds, water of reaction and undesirable ; by-products in addition to bisphenol. Bisphenol A synthe-sized with these catalysts, for example, contains isomers of bisphenol A, in particular 2,2~~2,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl)-propane and 2,2-(2,2'-dihydroxydiphenyl)-propane and complex products such as the so-called "codimer", 2,2,4-trimethyl-4-p-hydroxyphenylchroman, condensation products such as triphenol or even higher condensation products in the form of tarry or high boiling substances as well Le A 24 214 as decomposition products and substances containing sulphur.
The presence of these by-products is undesirable as they tend to remain in the end product and give rise to discolour-ation. This impairs the usefulness of the end product even when a high degree of purity is not required~ In addition, the by-products present interfere with some of the usual reactions of bisphenol, in particular its further reaction to polycarbonates, US-PS 3 394 089 describes a process for the preparation of bisphenol A from acetone and phenol with the aid of a catalyst containing sulphonic acid groups in which 5 to 25 mols-% of the sulphonic acid groups are blocked with mercapto amines to form ammonium salts which are said to obviate these disadvantages. This modified ion exchanger resin which is obtained by neutralization in aqueous solution, for example with ~-mercaptoethylamine, is unsuitable for the production process because it is unstable and because the mercapto compound is washed out by the reaction medium in the course of time so that the catalyst loses its effect.
It has now been found that highly pure bisphenols may be prepared with the aid of highly acid ion exchangers in which the acid groups are neutralized to a very high degree, even quantitatively, this neutralization being carried out on a previously dried ion exchanger in an anhydrous medium.
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of anhydrous ion exchangers modified with mercapto amines, characterised in that known acid ion exchanger.resins which have a total capacity of acid functions of from 0.7 to 2.1 mval/ml of ion exchanger when they have a water content of about 75 to 85% by weight or a total capacity of acid functions of from 3.5 to S mval or higher, based on 1 g of dry substance of ion exchanger, are dried and then rinsed with the phenol required for the preparation of the bisphenol and are then neutralized with at least 0.3 mol, preferably with 0.~ to 1 mol of mercapto amines of formula (I) per mol of acid f unction of the ion exchanger at temperatures above the meltin~ point of this phenol.
The present invention also relates to the ion exchangers modified with mercapto amines of formula (I) obtainable by the process according to the invention.
The acid functions of these modified ion exchangers are occupied with the mercapto amine of formula (I) to an extent of at least 30 mol-% and pref~erably 40 to 100 mol-%.
Suitable acid ion exchangers include, for example, the conventional reaction products of styrene-divinyl benzene copolymers with conventional sulphonating agents such as sulphuric acid, chlorosulphonic acid etc. These may be present in spherical form with particle diameters of 0.3 to 1.5 mm. They may be of the gel type or macro-porous. Their total capacity of acid functions ranges from 0.7 to 2.1 mval/ml of ion exchanger when they are moistened with a water content of about 75 to ~5% by weight or from 3.5 to 5 mval or higher, based on 1 g of the dry substance of ion exchanger.
Before the treatment or neutralization with the mercapto amines corresponding to formula (I) which are to be used according to the invention, these ion exchangers are dried, optionally by heat 9 optionally in a vacuum or optionally by washing with hydrophilic organic liquids such as alcohols or phenols or by azeotropic distilla-tion with organic liquids such as toluene, xylene, methylene chloride or others. The ion exchanger resin is then rinsed with the phenol required for the prepara-tion of the bisphenol, and the required quantity of mer-capto amine of formula (I) is then added in this medium at temperatures above the melting point of the phenol with stirring or in a fluidized bed layer.
In the mercapto amines corresponding to formula (I) " ~

The reaction temperature employed for the preparation of the bisphenol is in the region of 40 to 120C and is preferably above the solidification point of the com-ponents.
The reaction time or dwell time is chosen to be sufficiently long for complete conversion of the-carbonyl compound put into the process and is preferably from 30 to 240 minutes.
The present invention accordingly also relates to the use of the ion exchangers modified with mercapto amines of formula (I) obtained by the process according to the invention for the preparation of bisphenols from phenols and carbonyl compounds.
The reaction mixture obtained from the reaction of phenol with carbonyl compound is worked up by the usual .

methods such as distillation, crystallisation, etc.
Thus, for example, the bisphenol prepared may be cooled in the reaction mixture until crystallisation sets in and the phenol may then be removed by distill-ation or extraction from the mixed crystals of bisphenoland phenol which have been filtered off.
The bisphenol prepared by this process is suitable for known fields of application without after-purification and is also suitable for applications in which an excep-tionally high standard of purity is required, such asthe preparation of optically highly pure polycarbonates..

Example 1 Preparation of the modified ion exchanger resin _ The water-moist ion exchanger as obt,ained from the supplier with a moisture content of about 80% by weight and a total capacity of 0.75 mval/ml is washed with distilled water. It is then dried for 24 hours in a water jet vacuum at 90 to 100C to reduce the water content to below 1~ by weight.
The remaining water is distilled off as an azeotropic mixture with toluene and the toluene adhering to the ion exchange resin is then distilled off in a water jet vacuum at 95C.
- 120 g of this pretreated ion exchanger resin are taken up with 1128 g of phenol in a stirrer apparatus and left to swell in the phenol at 65C for 24 hours with exclusion of moisture. The quantity of mercapto ethylamine required for blocking the mol-~ indicated in Examples 2 to 10 is then added with stirring.
Examples 2 - 10 Preparation of bisphenol A (BPA) .
The ion exchanger resin was modified with p-mercapto ethylamine by the process described in Example 1 so that 15 to 100% of ~he sulphonic acid groups were neutra~ed in nine different adjustments. 58 g of acetone were added at 65C to the solution prepared in Example 1 and the purity of the bisphenol and quantity of by~roducts were determined gas chromatographically after complete conversion of the acetone.
