4,4 '-preparation method of stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of synthetic plastics whitening agent and intermediate polymer, relate in particular to a kind of 4,4 '-preparation method of stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid.
Background technology
4,4 '-stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid is the intermediate of synthetic plastics whitening agent and polymkeric substance.Its structural formula is
4,4 '-synthetic method of stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid mainly is: be raw material with the paratolunitrile, with the coupled generation of sulphur, this method separation purifying technique is loaded down with trivial details; Or with the paratolunitrile chlorination, deriving is aldehyde and ester again, adopts the coupled generation of the uncommon reaction of ladder Wei, and this method separation and purification is easy but route is long.
In U.S. Pat 2677703, disclose by the excessive paratolunitrile of heating stoichiometry and sulphur with prepare 4 ', 4-dibenzyl dicarboxylic acid and 4,4 '-mixture of stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid.This production 4,4 '-shortcoming of stilbenedicarboxylicacid acid method has: (i) need 250~290 ℃ high temperature, (ii) contain raw material toluic acid and two kinds of products in the product mixtures, be difficult to separate, (iii) yield is low, for example the highest ability 40% (iv) need prevent the hydrogen sulfide escape that produces with the washing methods of costliness.
Now traditional production technique is, under alkaline matter pyridine condition, with sulphur oxidation methyl phenylformic acid, after saltout through twice, obtain product behind the acid out.The main drawback of this traditional processing technology is: it can produce a large amount of toxic gas hydrogen sulfide in production process, can produce a large amount of contaminated wastewater environment in treating process, and a large amount of sodium sulphite is arranged in the waste water.
In addition, toluylene benzoxazole white dyes precursor 4 is disclosed in U.S. Pat 4519953,4 '-preparation method of toluylene diformazan cyanogen,, be catalyzer with alkali metal hydroxide powder such as sodium hydroxide, promptly at polar aprotic solvent such as N to be raw material to cyano group benzyl chloride or adjacent cyano group benzyl chloride, dimerization reaction obtains 4 in the dinethylformamide, 4 '-toluylene diformazan cyanogen and 2,2 '-toluylene diformazan cyanogen, yield is about 80%.
