Description

The method for preparing aminoalkane acid amides
The present invention relates to through making cyanic acid alkanoates and a) ammonia or amine and b) hydrogen reacts the method for preparing aminoalkane acid amides in the presence of catalyzer, do not separate any midbody and and the components b that are generated) reaction and the cyanic acid alkanoates that carry out and component reaction a) begins simultaneously or begin back beginning in maximum 100 minutes at it the latest.
The reaction of carboxylic acid or carboxylicesters and ammonia (amidation) is known in principle.For example, DE-2026832 has described the method for preparing carboxylic acid amides, and saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acid or its ester of straight chain and side chain and ammonia are reacted in the presence of catalyzer.Appropriate catalyst is the metallic compound of compound, particularly titanium, zirconium and tantalum of IVb and the Vb family metal of the periodic table of elements (PTE) that dissolves in reaction mixture.DE-A 21 10 060 has described and has used aliphatic, the alicyclic or mixed aliphatic series/cycloaliphatic amines of primary and secondary to replace ammonia to prepare the correlation method of N-replacement carboxylic acid amides.
The preparation of aminoalkane acid amides also is known.As far back as 1934, DE-A 597 305 just described cyanic acid alkanamides (especially Cyanothioacetamide derivatives) through the conversion of catalytic hydrogenation to corresponding aminoalkane acid amides.The cyanic acid alkanamides prepares through corresponding cyanic acid alkanoyl halogen and ammonia or amine are reacted in (separately) reactions step before.People such as G.D.Buckley (J.Chem.Soc. (chemistry meeting will) 1947; The the 1500th to 1503 page) point out; At catalyzer (Raney nickel catalyst for example; Hereinafter is also referred to as Ra-Ni, or as another instance, at the palladium on the lime carbonate) in the presence of produce corresponding aminoalkane acid amides with hydrogen reducing 2-4-nitro alkyl cyanogen.
At US 4,780, another method has been described in 542, according to this method, at first in water medium, acid is changed into acid anhydrides with alkyl chloroformate, this acid anhydrides subsequently can with the alcohol reaction with produce ester or with the amine reaction to produce aminoalkane acid amides.
In WO 01/77068, having described 5-cyanovaleramide and hydrogen reacts in the presence of catalyzer to produce the 6-aminocaproamide.Raw material (5-cyanovaleramide) is preparing in the reactions step separately again in advance; For example, it can prepare through corresponding cyanopentanoic acid ester and ammonia are reacted in the presence of alcohol.In DE-A29 47 825, similar approach has been described, according to this method, through in the presence of inert solvent, noble metal catalyst and the hydrogenchloride under reaction conditions under 5 to 80 ℃ temperature hydrogenation 3-cyanic acid propionic acid amide, preparation 4-amino-butanamide hydrochloride.Used reactant (3-cyanic acid propionic acid amide) can be prepared through partly hydrolysed by corresponding dintrile.
US-A 3,235, and 576 relate to the method for preparing the omega-amino-hexanamide.At this used starting compound is 7-cyanic acid-2, the methyl esters of 5-heptadienoic acid, and it at first produces corresponding amide with H-H reaction.In first hydrogenation, for example, use palladium catalyst, prepare corresponding 7-cyanic acid heptamide and isolating midbody is changed into corresponding omega-amino-hexanamide in use contains second hydrogenation of cobalt and nickeliferous catalyzer.Perhaps, can be raw material also with corresponding unsaturated amides.
DE-A 26 01 462 relates to the two-step approach that is used to prepare the 6-aminocaproamide, 5-cyanopentanoic acid ester and excess ammonia is being contained in second step of reaction in the presence of cobalt and/or the nickeliferous loaded catalyst through reaction in 2 to 6 hours and with formed midbody be hydrogenated to the 6-aminocaproamide.The reaction of ester and ammonia) and need not separate formed midbody (cyanic acid alkanamides) DE-A 26 01 462 points out really, can in fact in the presence of catalyzer required in second reactions step (hydrogenation: the cyanic acid alkanamides is to the conversion of aminoalkane acid amides), carry out (the amidation: of first reactions step in principle.But, can not find out that from DE-A 26 01 462 or from any other prior art document the amidation and the hydrogenation of raw material (cyanic acid alkanoates) can be carried out simultaneously, or hydrogenation can directly be carried out after amidation.All related art documents point out that first reactions step (amidation) must fully be carried out so that the midbody (cyanic acid alkanamides) that forms is hydrogenated to aminoalkane acid amides in second reactions step through at least 2 hours.
On the contrary, DE-A 26 01 461 relates to the method for preparing omega-amino-alkanoic acid alkyl ester, and wherein ω-cyanic acid alkanoic acid alkyl ester uses ammonia hydrogenation in the presence of load-type nickel and/or cobalt catalyst under temperature that raises and elevated pressure.In the method, cyanic acid is hydrogenated to corresponding amine thus, but does not carry out amidation, because the ester official of starting substance can also keep.
The purpose of this invention is to provide through making cyanic acid alkanoates and a) ammonia or amine and b) hydrogen reacts the novel method for preparing aminoalkane acid amides in the presence of catalyzer.
