Description

Preparation method of diethylene glycol dicarboxylate
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of an ester plasticizer, in particular to a preparation method of diethylene glycol dicarboxylate.
Background
The plasticizer is a plastic auxiliary agent used in the process of forming and processing plastics such as polyvinyl chloride, and can reduce the glass transition temperature of the polymer and increase the plasticity when added into a polymer system, so that the polymer is easy to process. The yield of the plasticizer accounts for about 60 percent of the total amount of the plastic additives, and the plasticizer is mainly used for polyvinyl chloride products, and the consumption accounts for 80 percent. The plasticizer is various, most of which are esters, wherein the yield of phthalate esters (including DOP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DnOP and the like) accounts for about 85%. However, phthalate esters are environmentally affecting hormones, the preparation and use of phthalate plasticizers will be further limited and the call for the use of alternative non-toxic plasticizers will be higher and higher.

Different types and different contents of diethylene glycol dicarboxylate components can be obtained with different types and different proportions of acid. The method needs the procedures of neutralization, water washing, dehydration and adsorbent addition filtration after the esterification reaction is finished, which brings the problems of sewage and waste residue treatment to the production process.
CN1126219A discloses a preparation method of diethylene glycol dipropionate and application thereof as a plasticizer of diacetate fiber tows. The preparation method uses sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst to catalyze diethylene glycol and propionic acid to carry out esterification reaction to generate diethylene glycol dipropionate. The method also needs procedures such as neutralization after the esterification reaction and the like, and needs to treat sewage generated in the production process.

Detailed Description
The following describes in detail specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
The invention provides a process for the preparation of diethylene glycol dicarboxylate of formula (I), wherein the process comprises reacting diethylene glycol of formula (II) with a carboxylate RCOOR in the presence of a catalyst comprising anhydrous potassium carbonate1Reacting to form diethylene glycol dicarboxylate of formula (I) and the corresponding alcohol HOR1The product of (a);
wherein R is selected from linear C2-C17Aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, branched C3-C17Alkyl and C4-C8One of cycloalkyl groups;
R1is methyl or ethyl.
According to the invention, diethylene glycol of the formula (II) is reacted with a carboxylic acid ester RCOOR in the presence of a catalyst containing anhydrous potassium carbonate1Reacting to form diethylene glycol dicarboxylate of formula (I) and the corresponding alcohol HOR1The product of (a); wherein R is1The invention can be realized by methyl or ethyl, which is beneficial to environmental protection, and the product is easy to separate from reactants and catalyst, and has high yield and good purity. Preferably, however, the transesterification reaction comprises carrying out the reaction under distillation or rectification conditions with simultaneous removal of the alcohol HOR formed1(ii) a Further preferably, the reaction is carried out for 5 to 7.5 hoursAdding alcohol HOR into the reaction solution1By removing alcohol HOR formed by the reaction by azeotropic distillation or azeotropic distillation1. This preferred embodiment further improves the yield and purity of the product of formula (I).
In the present invention, in order to allow the above-mentioned preferred embodiment to proceed smoothly and continuously, the reaction was started using a "dispenser" equipped with a condenser at the upper end thereof as a distillation apparatus, which means a Dean and Stark apparatus with a stopcock at the lowertend at the bottom thereof.
After 5 to 7.5 hours of the reaction, the entrainer is preferably added to the reaction mixture in 5 to 7 portions, the time interval between two consecutive additions is 1.1 to 2 hours, and the amount of the entrainer added per one portion is 60 to 240mL relative to 1 mole of diethylene glycol at the start of the reaction. The increase of the addition amount of the entrainer each time is beneficial to improving the yield and the purity of the product with the structural formula (I), but simultaneously increases the energy consumption of the reaction.
Another way of adding the entrainer is to start the reaction by using a distillation apparatus or a rectification apparatus, after 5 to 7.5 hours of the transesterification reaction under distillation or rectification conditions, continuously add the entrainer to the reaction solution under distillation or rectification conditions at a rate of 60 to 240 mL/hour and for a time of 5 to 7 hours relative to 1 mole of diethylene glycol at the start of the reaction. Increasing the flow rate of the entrainer is beneficial to improving the yield and the purity of the product with the structural formula (I), but simultaneously increases the energy consumption of the reaction.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, when the temperature of the reaction solution is controlled to be not lower than the boiling point of the entrainer after the entrainer is added, the temperature of the reaction solution may be cooled to be lower than the boiling point of the entrainer without cooling the entrainer when the entrainer is added in portions, the temperature of the reaction solution is preferably cooled to be lower than the boiling point of the entrainer in a laboratory, and the time required for cooling is generally not more than half an hour, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 hour; in the case of continuous flow, the reaction temperature should be controlled between the boiling point of the azeotropic agent and the boiling point of the azeotrope formed by the azeotropic agent and the alcohol produced by the reaction, and the flow rate can be adjusted according to the reaction rate, the kind and amount of the azeotropic agent. The mode of adding the continuous flow of the entrainer to the reaction liquid under the distillation or rectification condition is particularly suitable for large-scale production.
In the invention, the entrainer is preferably a solvent with a boiling point of 79-145 ℃, is more preferably one or more of aromatic hydrocarbon with a boiling point of 79-145 ℃ and carboxylic ester with a boiling point of 79-145 ℃, and the aromatic hydrocarbon is more preferably one or more of xylene, toluene and benzene; further preferred is toluene. When the carboxylic acid ester of the present invention RCOOR1The entrainer can also be selected from the carboxylic acid esters RCOOR used as starting materials for the reaction when the boiling point is in the range of 79-145 ℃ at a pressure of 760mm Hg1I.e. the carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1The entrainer and the carboxylic ester RCOOR of the starting material for the reaction have a boiling point in the range from 79 to 145 ℃ at a pressure of 760mm Hg1Are the same substance; preferably, the carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1The entrainer and the carboxylic ester RCOOR of the starting material for the reaction have a boiling point in the range from 90 to 128 ℃ at a pressure of 760mm Hg1Are the same substance.
In the present invention, the carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1Boiling point of (2) is higher than that of alcohol HOR1Of formula (II) with a carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1The transesterification reaction of (a) may be carried out under distillation or rectification conditions to remove the alcohol HOR formed during the reaction1
In the present invention, the amount of the reactant is preferably, carboxylic ester RCOOR1Is at least 2 times the moles of diethylene glycol of formula (II); more preferably, diethylene glycol of formula (II) and a carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1The molar ratio of (A) to (B) is 1: 2-10; more preferably, diethylene glycol of the formula (II) and a carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1The molar ratio of (A) to (B) is 1: 2-5. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that as the molar amount of carboxylic ester is increased, the reaction rate is increased and the yield is increased, but the isolation of the product is also affected. When the carboxylic acid ester of the present invention RCOOR1Selected from the group consisting of mercury at a pressure of 760mm HgCarboxylic acid esters RCOOR having a boiling point in the range from 79 ℃ to 145 ℃1When the entrainer is selected from the carboxylic ester RCOOR1Then carboxylic acid ester RCOOR1In an amount other than diethylene glycol and a carboxylic acid ester RCOOR according to formula (II)1In addition to the molar ratio of 1:2-10, the amount and manner of addition of the entrainer as described above may be used.

In the present invention, the inorganic refractory metal oxide support may be alumina, molecular sieve or zirconia. Whichever form of catalyst is used, it is preferred that the molar ratio of diethylene glycol of formula (II) to anhydrous potassium carbonate contained in the catalyst is from 1:0.001 to 0.5; more preferably, the molar ratio of the diethylene glycol of formula (II) to anhydrous potassium carbonate contained in the catalyst is 1:0.01 to 0.2.

The reaction temperature is 65-170 ℃; when an azeotropic agent is used, the temperature of the reaction solution is not less than the boiling point of the azeotropic agent. In practical operation, the reaction temperature is changed along with the removal of the low-boiling by-product alcohol HOR generated in the reaction process1(e.g., bp65 ℃ boiling point of methanol). In laboratory, a conventional glass flask is used as a reactor, a water bath or an oil bath is used as a heating source, when the temperature of the water bath or the oil bath is controlled to be 80-160 ℃, and when the reactant ester RCOOR is preferred1R of (A) to (B)1When the methyl group is used, and the entrainer is preferably toluene, the reaction temperature can be controlled to be in the range of 65 to 120 ℃.

Example 4
This example illustrates the preparation of diethylene glycol dioleate using anhydrous potassium carbonate supported on a carrier alumina as a catalyst according to the present invention.
Preparation of anhydrous potassium carbonate supported alumina catalyst

The anhydrous potassium carbonate is dried in a 105 ℃ forced air drying oven for 3 hours, 6g of the dried anhydrous potassium carbonate is taken to be dissolved in 40mL of deionized water, 24g of neutral alumina is added after full dissolution, and the mixture is kept stand for 24 hours after full stirring. The mixture was placed in an evaporating dish to evaporate the water and then dried in a forced air drying cabinet for 24 hours at 105 ℃. The obtained solid was calcined at 600 ℃ for 5 hours in a muffle furnace to obtain 28.89g of a catalyst powder in which anhydrous potassium carbonate was supported on alumina.
Preparation of diethylene glycol dioleate
A150 mL round bottom flask equipped with a condenser, a liquid separator and a stirrer was charged with 10.61g (0.1 mol) of diethylene glycol, 59.3g (0.2 mol) of methyl oleate, and 2.76g (about 0.004 mol) of the anhydrous potassium carbonate-containing catalyst powder obtained above, the oil bath contacting the round bottom flask was heated to 155 ℃ and reacted at 0.1MPa, and the alcohol formed while the reaction was carried out was distilled off to the liquid separator and removed by a distillation method, and reacted for 5 hours. After cooling for about 6 minutes, xylene was added to the round bottom flask for a total of 6 additions, back and forth, with the interval between two consecutive additions being 1.6 hours, 12mL each, and after each addition, the reaction was carried out at 170 ℃ for 1.5 hours while distilling off the xylene and azeotrope from the round bottom flask and adding the next xylene after the reaction had cooled for about 6 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the mixture in the round-bottomed flask was cooled and filtered to remove anhydrous potassium carbonate, the filtered solid was washed with xylene, and the filtrate was first subjected to rotary evaporation under reduced pressure at 80 ℃ to remove xylene, and then subjected to distillation under reduced pressure at 260Pa to remove impurities, whereby 62.15g of diethylene glycol dioleate was obtained in a yield of 98%. Since diethylene glycol dioleate has a large molecular weight and a small volatility, it is difficult to analyze the purity by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
