One, technical field
The present invention relates to do the addition reaction method for cyclic carbonates of catalyst epoxy compounds and carbonic acid gas, belong to fine chemical product catalytic synthetic techniques field with acid amides and water.
Two, background technology
Cyclic carbonate is the high polar organic solvent of the high boiling point of excellent property, is widely used in fields such as organic synthesis, makeup, gas delivery, battery dielectric substance and metal extractions.For example, many in recent years urea production producer adopts propylene carbonate to make decarbonization solvent one after another, and its demand is greatly increased.
The synthetic method of propylene carbonate mainly contains phosgenation, ester-interchange method and epoxy compounds and carbonic acid gas additive process etc.Wherein, be raw material with epoxy compounds and carbonic acid gas, synthesizing annular carbonate is a low pollution, eco-friendly synthetic route in the presence of catalyzer, its research and development are subjected to generally paying attention to.Since the people such as Inoue of Japan in 1969 adopt zinc ethyl and water catalysis epoxidation compound and carbonic acid gas synthesizing annular carbonate first, successively there have been metallic compounds such as non-metallic catalyst such as human ammonium salt, amine, phosphine and nickel, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten, tin this reaction to be studied as catalyzer.But these catalyzer exist, and catalytic activity is not high, product separates and problem such as catalyst recovery difficulty.Simultaneously, some catalyzer uses to exist and costs an arm and a leg, and reaction system requires anhydrous condition etc., to fairly large synthesizing annular carbonate cost problem of higher.Therefore, novel, the high reactivity of research and development, reusable catalyst system seem very important.The focus of research mainly concentrates on several aspects such as electrochemical process, ionic liquid method and organometallic complex catalysis method at present.
Electrochemical process: people such as Deng have studied the [BF at [EMIM]
4] adopt process [Yang, the Hongzhou of cyclic voltammetry catalysis epoxidation compound and carbonic acid gas synthesizing annular carbonate in the plasma liquid; Gu, Yanlong, Deng, Youquan, and Shi, Feng Chem.Commun.3 (2002) 274-275].Its advantage is the reaction conditions gentleness, the catalytic efficiency height; Shortcoming is that energy consumption is big, the cost height.
Ionic liquid method: at the beginning of 80, the research institutions such as IFP of Britain BP company and France begin to explore with the possibility of ionic liquid as solvent and catalyzer, research mainly concentrates on traditional sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and the Lewis acid of ionic liquid-catalyzed system replacement and comes catalyzed reaction, and obtains better effects.In addition, people such as Cal ó and Kawanami adopt fused TBAB ionic liquid [Vincenzo Cal ó respectively, AngeloNacci, Antonio Monopoli, and Antonello Fanizzi, Org.Lett.4 (2002) 2561-2564] and have 1 of different lengths alkyl chain, 3-dialkylimidazolium and BF
4 -Ionic liquid [the HajimeKawanami that forms, Akiyoshi Sasaki, Keitaro Matsui and Yutaka Ikushima, Chem.Commun.7 (2003) 896-897] for catalyst system the reaction of catalysis epoxidation compound and carbonic acid gas synthesizing annular carbonate is studied, also obtained result preferably.The advantage of ionic liquid method is that catalytic activity is higher, and reaction conditions is gentle relatively; Shortcoming is that toxicity is bigger, and expense is higher.
Organometallic complex catalysis method: in recent years, be that the catalyst system of catalyzer also shows excellent catalytic activity with the metal complexes in the reaction of epoxy compounds and carbonic acid gas synthesizing annular carbonate.Representative catalyst system has following a few class: binaphthyldiamino salen-type Zn, Cu, Co title complex [Yu-Mei Shen, Wei-Liang Duan, and Min Shi, J.Org.Chem.68 (2003) 1559-1562]; Alkali alkyl halogenide [Takeshi Sako, Toshiyuki Fukai and RyotaroSahashi, Ind.Eng.Chem.Res.41 (2002) 5353-5358]; Crown ether-like inorganic salt title complex [Baba Akio, Nozaki Takashi, Matsuda Haruo, Bull.Chem.Soc.Jpn.60 (1987) 1552-1554; T.V.Magdesieva, S.V.Milovanov, B.V.Lokshin, Z.S.Klemenkova, L.GTomilova, Russ.Chem.47 (1998) 2137-2145.]; CrTTPCl is that catalyzer, DMAP are solvent [S.A.Lermontov, T.N.Velikokhat ' ko, S.I.Zavorin, Russ.Chem.47 (1998) 1405-1406].These catalyst systems have advantages of high catalytic activity, but its price is higher relatively and with the product separation difficulty.
JP2000344715 A discloses at 100-10, and there are the method for preparing asymmetric carbon acid esters (for example carbonic acid methylethyl ester) down in the water of 000ppm (weight) and heterogeneous catalyst.JP52-003064A (on 01 11st, 1977 open) discloses to use and has comprised that the catalyzer of Grignard reagent and nitrogenous compound prepares the method for cyclic carbonate from epoxide and carbonic acid gas.In JP5-202022A (on 08 10th, 1993), be disclosed in catalyzer (amine, amidine, guanidine, imidazoles etc.) and promotor (basic metal or alkaline earth metal halide, oxyhydroxide, alkoxide and/or carbonate) have down the method for preparing cyclic carbonate from epoxide and carbonic acid gas.In JP51013720A (on 02 03rd, 1976 open), disclose by (1) Lewis acid (halogenide of zinc, iron, aluminium etc.), (2) nitrogenous organic base (methylamine, aniline, pyridine etc.) and the mixed catalyst formed of (3) water have the method for preparing alkylene carbonates down by oxyalkylene and carbon dioxide reaction.But these patent documentations all do not relate to the application's catalyst system.
In sum, efficient, the cheap and segregative catalyst system of research and development is the important topic of catalysis epoxidation compound and carbon dioxide reaction synthesizing annular carbonate.
