Abstract

This invention relates to a stabilizing composition for S-substituted aldehydes with general formula (I) having 4-15 carbon atoms, where: R1 = C1-C5 alkyl, C6-C9 aryl, furfuryl, benzyl; R2 = H, R1; R3 = H, R1, characterized by the fact that it is based on a prototropic agent (A) in association with an 02 abstracting agent (B). The components are selected among: (A) aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic amines, such as pyridine, dimethylaniline, quinoline, etc., alcanolamines or non-aromatic cyclic amines, such as triethanolamine, N-methylmorpholine, etc., lactams, such as N-methyl pyrrolidone, etc. (B) substituted phenols or hydroquinones, such as p-t-butyl phenol, BHT, etc., acid or unsaturated antioxidant agents, as ascorbic acid or beta-carotene. The amount indicated of said composition is 500-1000 ppm, preferably 1000 ppm, and the (A)/(B) molar ratio is comprised between 5/95 and 50/50. The process for stabilizing S-substituted aldehydes provides for addition to the stabilizing composition to an aldehyde containing up to 300 ppm of water at a stabilization temperature of up to 50 ·C. The temperature so which the aldehyde is subjected in the stabilization process is 25-100 ·C, and the aldehydes may be in contact with carbon steel. The proposed (A)/(B) composition is efficient to stabilize aldehyde with a certain amount of H20 in the presence of carbon steel and at a 25-100 ·C temperature.

~ISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
.

Broadly speaking, aldehyde decomposition is due to absorption of 02, followed by auto-oxidation, aldol condensations and in some cases thermal decompositions.
The main mechanisms of decomposition of S-fiubstituted aldehydes are:
a) auto-oxidation by way of absorption of 02 and cont~ct with metal, witt, propagation by free radicals.

,_ 2~037~1~

~) ~ldol cond~ns~tlon~ In ~cid medlum; cycll~
trLmerizot~ons And polymerizations.
c~ thermal decomposition reactlons ~ncath~lyzed or c~tholyzed b~ metals. In the c~se of non-stabillzed MTPA, there occuræ form~tion of methyl mercapt~n, acrolein, water and ethylene from MTPA itself and decompoæition products thereof.
d) nucleophilic additions and-substitution~. In the ca~e of MTPA, this occurs from the decomposition product methyl mercapt~n, originating mercapt31s and thioesters.
e) dec~rbonylations, i.~ lIminatIon of CO with ~orm~tion of non-carbonylic organic sulfides.
These five types of reactions probably act jointly and by a chain process justify the great capacity for ~bsorption of oxygen displayed by 5-substituted aldehydes, such as MTPA, as compared with other carbonylic compounds, which makes it recommendable as antioxidant for vegetable oils ~Journal Amer. Oil Chem.
Soc., 1977, 54, p. 4-7). It should ~e stressed that oxygen, cont~ct with met~ls and the thermal factor, either separately or ~ointiy, are decisive causes for decomposition of 5-substituted aldehydes.

The æchemes below show, for example, possible routes for MTPA decompocition, based on gas chromatography analysec WO 93/13059 PCr/BR92~00020 2 ~ ~ 3 7 9 ~

BEST MODE FOR CARRYlNG OUT THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a st~biliz~ng compo~t~on for S-sub~tituted ~ldehydes with the general formula (Il:

having 4-15 carbon atoms, where:
~1 = Cl-C5 alkyl, C6-C~ aryl, furfuryl and benzyl R~ = H, Rl R3 - H, Rl characterized by being based on a prototropic agent ~A) in aC.sociation with an 02 abstracting agent ~B). Suc~l A
and B compounds may be chosen from:

A.~.: alcanolamines or B.~: acid or unsaturat-non-aromatic cyclic ed antioxidant agents, amines, ~uch as tri- such as ascorbic acid~
etanolamine (TEA) (AA), beta-carotene N-methylmorpholine A.3 : lactams, such as N-methyl pyrrolidone The stabilizing composition is made up by and A and B, except for the following two pairs: A = pyridine~B = p-t-butyl phenol and A = quinoline/B = p-t-butyl phenol.
Preferably, the following fitabilizing compositions are indic~ted:

COMPOSITION ~ A B I

C2 PY~Y~INE AA
C3 ~UlNOLINE AA

More ~pecifically, composition A/B may be TEA/AA.
The role of the prototropic agent A is eliminating acid centers responsible for additional aldol condensations, and agent B competes for O~, thus avoiding the ~a~

t~igge~ing of undesirable reactions in ~-substituted aldehyde.

The stAbilizing composition for 5-substituted aldehyde with formula II) is characterized by the fact that it is ed in an amount of 500-1500 ppm, preferably 1004 ppm The mol~r ratio of A/B components is comprised between 5:95 and 5:50. The preferred stabilizing composition is further TEA~AA at 1000 ppm, with 10~-50% AA in TEA.
The synergy of the stabilizing composition as regard~.
the use of isolated amines was noted, as propo6ed in the state of the art ~see table 1 of examples), with the ~ta~ilized ~-substituted aldehyde appearing without the yellowiæh coloring typical of the existence of deaomposltion products. Upon submitting the stabilized aldehyde to chrom~tography analysis, few components are found to form by transformation of the existing aldehyde itelf, and therefor stabilization is quite efficient.
The stabilizing composition also does not interfere with su~sequent handlings of the stabilized aldehyde, since A
and B componentC. remain in the distillation re~idue ~see table 4 of examples).
It was also evidenced Isee table ~ of examples) that the stabilization is efficient at varying temperatrues, for example, MTPA tabilized with TEA/AA and kept at 50~C

W093/1~59 PCT/BR92/00020 ._ 21 ~37~6 for 15 days suffered a decrease of less than 2% during storage.
This invention also concerns a process for stabilizing S-substituted aldehydes wit~ the formula ~I) characterized by addition to said aldehyde of the A~B
sta~ilizing compositon as descri~ed above.

INFLUENCE OF WATER CONTENT

The presence o~ w~ter ln 3-su~stituted aldehyde or the compositon interferes with the sta~ilizing c~pacity of the A~B system added, mainly when the aldehyde h~s contact with metals or car~on steel, for under such conditions the amine type component A will release OH-ions which wiil set off aldol condensations.
In the case of TEA, for instance, the following will occur in the presence of water:

The proce~-fi for ~,ta~ili2ing ~-su~stituted aldehydes with formula (I) is characterized ~y the fact the the aldehyde contains a m~ximum of ~Ob ppm of water, prefer~ly lesc .than ~bb ppm, for sta~ilizing temperatures up to 50 C.
In terms of application of S-ubstituted aldehyde in industrial proces~, addition is recommended at the time of its manufacture, after its initi~l distillation and transfer to containers, before water is formed as decomposition product.
CARBON STEEL
Experimental o~servation& showed that car~on steel exerts two distinct effects on 5-su~ctituted aldehydec.:

210'~7iJ~

1) at temperatures ~ 50 C: carbon steel stabilizes aldehyde in relation to the isolated action of oxygen, probably due to the steel fiurface c~pacity to abstract 02 from the medium. More particularly, for MTPA
complexation of its enol may occur, which is respon~ible for the auto-oxidation exercised by metal ions.

~) at temperatures J 50~-C: carbon steel contributes to aldehyde decomposition, specially in the presence of oxygen. ln the case of MTPA, the methyl mercaptide or enol formed prob~ly att~ck the steel ~urface and release Fe~, Fer~ ~nd Mn2~ metal ions, which in turn catalyze the aldehyde oxidating composition.
The stabilizing process proposed for S-subs.tituted aldehydes tI) is characterized by the aldehyde being or not being in contact with c~r~on steel.
The AJB stabilizing composition proposed decre~ses the decomposition of S-substituted aldehydes in the presence of carbon steel and at all temperatures tested ~see examples, table lA). The stabilizing process is used in aldehydes subjected to temperatures in the range of ~5-100 C .
S-substituted aldehydes with formula (I) are characterized by cont~ining an AJB stabilizing aomposition as previously described.

The synergic effect of A/B composition in MTPA
st~bilization as compared with application of substances individually is very clear, particularly amines such as pyridine, quinoline and dimethylaniline, as was done in the state of the art. Besides, amounts in the A/B
fitabiiizing sytem are lower than those recommended in the state of the art.
~tabilizer mass ratlos of 1000, 2000 and 2500 ppm and molar ratios of 10~, 20# and 50# of ascorbic acid in TEA
were tested for the stabilizing mixture. Triethanolamine is known to exhibit low toxidity, virtually no contribution to smell and a high boiling point ~206C at mm Hg), higher than MTPA, which positively recommends it for industrial h~ndling.

2) TEST WITH TEA/AA

Other more precise tests were carried out with the TEA/AA sta~ilizing system.
Samples wer~ prepared with mass and molar ratios as indicated below:

W093~13059 PCT/BR92/~020 ~ 937~

9.6 mg ascorbic acid (0.055 m mol) and 90.4 mg triethanolamine ~0.603 m mol) to 100 ml MTPA - actual molar ratio used: 8.4~ mol~r ascorbic acid to 91.6X
molar trieth~nolamine.
Tests were carried out at 50, 80 and lOO~C for heating periods of up to 360 hours t15 days).
Data obtained are shown in table 2, where each value is an average of two tegt repetitions with good relative accuracy. MTPA content wa~
determined by GC and oximation. By way of information, there are also included dat~ obtained at 50C for MTPA

It is noticed thht there is ~ first order kinetic variation between MTPA contents and time values for 50 and 30~C temperature~. At 100C the correlation is not linear, which ~ùggests ~n interference of mechanisms, particularly decomposition by heat, operating at this temperature and with little operation up to 80C.

l*~ The X value is that of the pseudo-first order in}tial speed con&tant calculated between times zero and 67 hours in Table 2.
As from table 3, the calculation of activation energies for the two situations leads to the following values:
Activ~tion energy - HTPA decomposition..10.5 Kcal~mol non-cta~ilized Activation energy - MTPA` decomposition..25~5 Xcal/mol stabilized Thus, kinetic~lly and thermodynamically, MTPA
stabilization with the TEA/AA st~ilizing composition is equiv~lent to an increase of two ~nd h~lf times in the magnitude of activation energy, which quantifies the degree to which this composition is Llocked ~y the presence of staLilizer.
An extrapolation of data in tables 2 and 3 according to correlation log X = f (1/T) for 30C ena~les calculation of speed constant at this temperature in K = 1.15 x 10-5 hour for sta~ilized aldehyde. This value mean~ a rate forecast for MTPA dropping le~s than lX for 1-month storage under environmental conditions in the presence of ~ta~ilizer.

ALDEHY~E ~ISTILLATION

W093/13059 PCT/B W2/0~20 2~

This test shows the mass distribution of TEA/AA
stabilizing components in MTPA distillation in its light, distillate and residue fractions. ~tabilizer monitoring wa~ conducted by following up TEA, since the AA high boiling point authorizes the assumption that this component remains in the distillation residue.

The test was carried out by discontinuous distillaton in a 5 cm outer diameter, 65 cm high glass column fitted with 7 Teflon pierced plates.
5.97 liter ~6210 9) MTPA at 90.0X recently distilled to which were added 5.5~ 9 ~990 ppm) TEA and 0.62 9 ~100 ppm) AA were distilled at 91C and 39 mm Hg. A light fraction equivalent to 18X of total, 3 consecutive destillate fractions ~ointly adding up to 77.7X mass and - a residue equivalent to 3.4% mass from total were collected.

TEA wa~ potentiometrically dosed in each fraction using 0.01 N pe-chloric acid in acetic acid as titrant.
Concurrently, blank tests were carried out in specimens, which showed that the TEA dosage limit under 7~
42.

such conditions is lO ppm. The results obtained are 6hown in table 4:

. T ~ 50 C: the drop in MTPA content and rate of formation of impurities, noticed via chromatogram, is con~-iderably reduced when in contact with carbon steel, as compared with MTPA alone t39.9~ absolute difference in content values at room temperature).
At room temperature MTPA content is the same in the 2 5 presence or absence of carbon steel, under the action of 21~37~
so stabilizer after 1080 hours (45 days).
T ~ 50C: ~teel ha a strong positive effect on ~ldehyde decomposition. Experimentally it i~ noted that~
after 360 hours at 80C the MTPA content in the presence of carbon steel is 6.4%, while MTPA content when placed under the fiame heat conditions for the fiame period is 65.5%. At 100C the effect is even more ~trongly marked.
Under suc~ conditions, stabilizer decomposition i~
efficient at 80 C. Stabilized MTPA content exhibits a higher value th~n non-stabilized MTPA when in the presence of car~on steel.

Therefore, the conclusion is that the sta~ilizer is efficient to ~lock S-fiubstituted aldehyde decomposition at varying temperatures in the presence of carbon ~.teel.
