Description

  

  Verfahren zur     Herstellung    von     Pyridin-4-aldehyd.       Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein  Verfahren zur Herstellung von     Pyridin-4-          aldeliyd,    welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist,  dass man     Pyridyl-4-earbinol    zusammen mit  einem 'Sauerstoff enthaltenden     Gasgemisch,     vorzugsweise Luft, bei einer Temperatur von  200 bis     400     C mit einem Oxydationskatalysa  tor in Kontakt bringt.  



  Die Reaktion wird zweckmässig wie folgt       durchgeführt    :     Pyridyl-4-carbinol    wird ver  dampft und in einem mit Silber oder Kupfer       besehiekten    Rohr, das auf etwa 250 bis     3'50     C  erhitzt ist, mit einem Luftstrom in Berüh  rung gebracht. Durch Kondensation der Re  aktionsgase und anschliessende Rektifikation  erhält man den Aldehyd in     guter    Ausbeute  und reiner Form. Am besten wird ein senk  reeht stehendes Aluminiumrohr, das auf einem  wesentlichen 'Teil seiner Länge von einem elek  trischen Ofen aufgeheizt werden kann, ver  wendet. Als Katalysator wirkt eine Füllung  von fein verteiltem Kupfer oder Silber, wie  Kupferdrahtnetz, Silberdrahtnetz, :Silberspäne  oder Silberwolle.

   Die mit konzentrierter  Schwefelsäure getrocknete und durch Watte  filtrierte Luft kann durch das Rohr entweder  durchgeblasen oder     durchgesogen    werden, wo  bei die     Strömungsgeschwindigkeit    mit einem       Rotameter    gemessen wird. Das     Pyridyl    - 4  earbinol wird auf eine Temperatur oberhalb  seines Schmelzpunktes vorgewärmt und mit  tels eines beheizten Tropftrichters vom obern  Ende des Reaktionsrohres her in die beheizte  Zone des Rohres gebracht. Die Luft strömt    im Rohr von unten nach oben und begegnet  dem     Pyridin-4-carbinol    in unmittelbarer Ge  genwart des erhitzten Katalysators.

   Nach dein  Verlassen des Rohres werden die Reaktions  dämpfe durch einen am obern Rohrende be  festigten Destillierbogen abgeleitet und in  einer     weitlumigen,    auf etwa -10" C gekühl  ten Kühlschlange kondensiert. Das Kondensat,  das zur Hauptsache aus     Pyridin=4-aldehyd,          Pyridyl-4-carbinol    und Wasser besteht, wird  in einem tiefgekühlten Auffanggefäss gesam  melt.    Der     Pyridin-4-aldehyd    soll als     zwischen-          produkt    verwendet werden.

      <I>Beispiel:</I>  22 g     Pyridyl-4-carbinol    lässt man mit einer  Geschwindigkeit von 7 bis 9 Tropfen pro Mi  nute in ein auf 280  C geheiztes und mit     Sil-          berdrehspänen    als Katalysator beschicktes Re  aktionsrohr     eintropfen.    Von unten her leitet  man getrocknete und filtrierte Luft mit einer  Geschwindigkeit von 3     Litern/Minute    durch  das Rohr. Nachdem nach etwa 1 bis 11/4 Stun  den alles     Pyridyl-4-carbinol        zugetropft    ist,  lässt man die Luft noch eine weitere Stunde  durch das beheizte Rohr strömen. Im Auf  fanggefäss sammeln sich 22. bis 23g Konden  sat an.

   Aus dem Kondensat erhält man durch  einmaliges Fraktionieren einen geringen, aus  Wasser und     Pyridin-4-aldehyd    bestehenden  Vorlauf, 11 g     Pyridin-4-aldehyd        (Kp.2o        "",     90 bis 91  C) und 7 g unverändertes Pyridyl-           4-carbinol.    Unter Berücksichtigung der     Wie-          dergewinnLing    von etwa     3,011/o        Pyridyl-4-          carbinol    beträgt die Ausbeute an Aldehyd       71%.  



  Process for the preparation of pyridine-4-aldehyde. The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of pyridine-4-aldeliyd, which is characterized in that pyridyl-4-earbinol together with an 'oxygen-containing gas mixture, preferably air, at a temperature of 200 to 400 C with an oxidation catalyst brings in contact.



  The reaction is conveniently carried out as follows: Pyridyl-4-carbinol is evaporated and brought into contact with a stream of air in a tube covered with silver or copper, which is heated to about 250 to 3'50 C. By condensation of the reaction gases and subsequent rectification, the aldehyde is obtained in good yield and in pure form. It is best to use a vertical aluminum tube that can be heated by an electric furnace over a substantial part of its length. A filling of finely divided copper or silver, such as copper wire mesh, silver wire mesh: silver shavings or silver wool, acts as a catalyst.

   The air, dried with concentrated sulfuric acid and filtered through cotton wool, can either be blown or sucked through the tube, where the flow rate is measured with a rotameter. The pyridyl-4-earbinol is preheated to a temperature above its melting point and brought into the heated zone of the tube from the upper end of the reaction tube using a heated dropping funnel. The air flows in the tube from bottom to top and meets the pyridine-4-carbinol in the immediate presence of the heated catalyst.

   After leaving the tube, the reaction vapors are diverted through a distillation elbow attached to the upper end of the tube and condensed in a large cooling coil, cooled to about -10 "C. The condensate, which mainly consists of pyridine = 4-aldehyde, pyridyl-4 -carbinol and water, is collected in a frozen collecting vessel. The pyridine-4-aldehyde should be used as an intermediate product.

      <I> Example: </I> 22 g of pyridyl-4-carbinol are allowed to drop at a rate of 7 to 9 drops per minute into a reaction tube heated to 280 C and charged with silver turnings as a catalyst. Dried and filtered air is passed through the tube from below at a rate of 3 liters / minute. After all the pyridyl-4-carbinol has been added dropwise after about 1 to 11/4 hours, the air is allowed to flow through the heated tube for a further hour. 22 to 23 g of condensate collect in the collecting vessel.

   A small first run consisting of water and pyridine-4-aldehyde, 11 g of pyridine-4-aldehyde (boiling point 20 "", 90 to 91 ° C.) and 7 g of unchanged pyridyl-4-carbinol are obtained from the condensate by fractionating once . Taking into account the recovery of about 3.011 / o pyridyl-4-carbinol, the aldehyde yield is 71%.
