Background technology
Benzoglyoxaline ketone pigment dyestuff is a class high performance pigment, and their color and luster is very strong, is applicable to most industrial fields.C.I. pigment orange 64 is one of them kind, has very high heat-resistant stability, solvent resistance and fastness to weathering, is mainly used in modulation to the sun-resistant and heat-resisting industrial paint having higher requirements and painted to engineering plastics.Producing this pigment needs crucial intermediate-5-amino-6-methyl benzimidazolone, and it can be made through reduction by 5-nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone.About the bibliographical information that 5-nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone is synthetic little, most of bibliographical informations be the synthetic of 5-Nitro-2-benzimidazolinone.At present synthetic 5-Nitro-2-benzimidazolinone is mainly taking O-Phenylene Diamine as starting raw material, makes by series reaction.
The people such as Robert report a kind of method by O-Phenylene Diamine photoreactive gas synthesizing benzimidazole ketone, and the method is passed into phosgene in the hydrochloride solution of O-Phenylene Diamine reacts, and obtains benzimidazolone, yield more than 75% (J.Am.Chem.Soc, 1958,80,1657-1662).Use the very large phosgene of toxicity because reaction relates to, so this author uses O-Phenylene Diamine instead and urea reacts under molten state, obtained equally benzimidazolone.Although but their method is easy and simple to handle, available product yield only has 40%~75%.
US Patent No. 4,269,989 disclose a kind of method, with O-Phenylene Diamine with urea carries out condensation in dilute sulphuric acid and ring-closure reaction has obtained benzimidazolone, yield is 96%, and the needed reaction times of the method is very long, and operation also comparatively bothers, need in reaction process, monitor constantly the pH of reactant, and it is stable to maintain pH constantly to add sulfuric acid.
US Patent No. 4,138,568 also disclose a kind of method, and O-Phenylene Diamine and urea are carried out to condensation and ring-closure reaction in orthodichlorobenzene under comparatively high temps, have obtained benzimidazolone, although yield is higher, reclaims solvent and will consume larger energy.
The people such as Yue Fu by O-Phenylene Diamine and methylcarbonate at Pb (NO
3)
2under existence, also obtained benzimidazolone in 230 DEG C of reactions, yield is 81.2%; But the selectivity of methylcarbonate is bad, and by product is more, product separation difficulty (Journal of Catalysis.2001,197 (1): 91-97).
Benzimidazolone can generate 5-Nitro-2-benzimidazolinone through nitration reaction.Poland Patent (PL 154621) discloses a kind of method, by benzimidazolone in sulfuric acid with nitric acid effect, obtained 5-Nitro-2-benzimidazolinone, yield is about 97%, but this reaction needed is reacted at low temperatures, otherwise easily generates dinitride, it is difficult to remove.
The people such as James adopt greatly excessive concentrated nitric acid to carry out nitration reaction to benzimidazolone, can obtain 5-Nitro-2-benzimidazolinone, but produce a large amount of spent acid, to environment unfriendly (J Chem Soc 1950:1515-19).
Chinese patent (CN 101863840) discloses a kind of method of the 5-of preparation nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone, by 3,4-diaminotoluene first obtains 5-methyl benzimidazolone with urea generation condensation and ring-closure reaction in orthodichlorobenzene, in rare nitric acid medium, carry out again nitration reaction, make 5-nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone.
In sum, the method of at present synthetic 5-nitro-benzimidazolone or 5-nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone is all with " two-step approach ", that is: O-Phenylene Diamine (or 3,4-diaminotoluene) in orthodichlorobenzene, first there is condensation and ring-closure reaction with phosgene (or urea), the product obtaining generates 5-nitro-benzimidazolone or 5-nitro-6-methyl benzimidazolone (two-step reaction carries out in different media) from nitric acid effect or direct and rare nitric acid effect again in sulfuric acid.Not only complex operation, and environmental pollution is larger.
