The invention discloses a method for preparing 3, 3', 4, 4', -tetramethyldiphenylalkane. Any one of formaldehyde, aldehyde, paraformaldehyde and metaldehyde is mixed with ortho-xylene according to the mol ratio of between 1 to 2.5 and 5 under the existence of mixed acid catalyst formed by sulphuric acid and any one of methanoic acid, acetic acid or propanoic acid, wherein, the weight ratio of the sulphuric acid to fatty acid is between 1 to 0.5 and 2; the weight ratio of aldehyde to the mixed acid catalyst is between 1 to 5 and 10; the mixture reacts for 4 to 12 hours at a temperature of between 30 and 100 DEG C and is cooled, water and oil are separated, an oil phase is scrubbed by water for 3 times and is subject to the reduced pressure distillation to obtain the 3, 3', 4, 4', -tetramethyldiphenylalkane. The yield is between 78 and 80 percent, and the purity is between 95 and 98 percent by weight.

Description

3,3 ', 4, the preparation method of 4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane
One, technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane, relate to 3,3 ', 4 or rather, the preparation method of 4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane.
Two, background technology
3,3 ', 4 of the present invention's preparation, 4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane has following general structure:
Figure S200810039710XD00011
R=R ' in the formula=H or R=H, R '=CH 3
3,3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane is 3,3 ', 4, and the initial feed of 4 '-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride.3,3 ', 4,4 '-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is the raw material of preparation advanced composite material matrix resin, again can be as the raw material of curing agent for epoxy resin and high temperature resistance polyester, and thus 3,3 ', 4,4 ' one tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane is an important chemical material.
It is generally acknowledged o-Xylol by carbaldehyde alkylization, in alkylate, purpose product 3,3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-ditan (TMDM) selection rate is low, and content is 78~84%.2,3,3 ', 4-TMDM, 2,3,2 ', 3 '-TMDM content of isomer is up to 13~27%.It is very difficult to separate them.Prior art U S Pat.No 5,254,768, Oct.19,1993 disclose: 425g (4mol) o-Xylol and 306g (2mol) 64% vitriolic stirred solution, be added dropwise to 81g (1mol) 37% formalin to it, refluxed 3 hours in 121 ℃.Reacted product cooling 30min, separating liquid, the oil phase of separating, water is given a baby a bath on the third day after its birth inferior, with anhydrous sodium sulfate dehydration, 427g oil phase reaction solution (R-1) is provided, and the compositional analysis result is 52.5 weight % o-Xylols, 38.1 weight % tetramethyl-ditans (TMDM) and 9.4 weight % miscellany materials.The TMDM of institute's output has following isomery and forms: 59.4%3,3 ', 4, and 4 '-TMDM, 37.4%2,3,3 ', 4-TMDM and 3.2%2,2 ' 3,3 '-TMDM.The yield that with formaldehyde is basic calculation TMDM is 72.6 moles of %, 3,3 ', 4, and 4 '-TMDM yield 43.1mol%, prior art is catalyzer with sulfuric acid, temperature of reaction is up to 121 ℃, product 3,3 ', 4, the yield of 4 '-TMDM is on the low side.These weak points are should be improved.
Three, summary of the invention
In order to overcome the shortcoming of prior art, present inventors have done particular study, propose to adopt mixed catalyst in low-temperature catalyzed alkylated reaction preparation 3,3 ', 4, the invention of 4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane.
The present invention organic aldehyde and o-Xylol 1: 2.5 in molar ratio~5 in the presence of mixed-acid catalyst, in 30~100 ℃ of reactions 4~12 hours, here temperature of reaction is 35~55 ℃ preferably, reaction times is to make 3 in 6~8 hours preferably, 3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane, yield 75~80%, purity 〉=95 weight %.
Mixed-acid catalyst is that concentration is the mixture of choosing any one kind of them in 82~92 weight % sulfuric acid and the like formic acid of lipid acid, acetate or the propionic acid.The weight ratio of sulfuric acid and lipid acid is 1: 0.5~2.
Organic aldehyde is to choose any one kind of them from formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, Paraformaldehyde 96, Metaldehyde, and the weight ratio of aldehyde and mixed-acid catalyst is 1: 5~10.Paraformaldehyde 96 can be the ring-type trioxymethylene, the water-soluble Paraformaldehyde 96 of carbonatoms 4~7, C 8~100Water-insoluble Paraformaldehyde 96.Metaldehyde is C 4~8Metaldehyde.
Implement 3,3 ', 4 of preparation according to the inventive method, 4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane, 3 among the present invention, 3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-diphenyl alkane means 3,3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-ditan (TMDM) or 3,3 ', 4,4 '-tetramethyl-diphenylethane (DXE), its yield is 75~80%, in the reaction product 3,3 ', 4, the selection rate of 4 '-TMDM or DXE 〉=95%, other isomer 2,3 that is to say, 3 ', 4-TMDM or DXE, 2,3,2 ', 3 '-TMDM or DXE total amount≤5%.
