Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical process and petrochemical industry, in particular to a method for industrially producing sec-butyl lithium.
Background
Butyl lithium is the most important organolithium compound, and n-butyl lithium, sec-butyl lithium and tert-butyl lithium are industrially produced. Butyl lithium has good reactivity, is mainly used in the polymer industry, and is an excellent initiator and catalyst for synthetic rubber. Butyl lithium is also widely used in organic synthesis, has the advantages of complete reaction, less by-products, easy separation of products and the like, and is used for preparing a plurality of valuable organic compounds and medicines.
The sec-butyl lithium is relatively active and has the fastest initiation speed to a polymerization monomer when being used as an initiator, so that when the sec-butyl lithium is used as the polymerization initiator, a polar solvent such as tetrahydrofuran is not required to be added into a polymerization system, and a solvent recovery system is simplified. The polymer produced using sec-butyllithium initiation has a narrow molecular weight distribution. The demand for sec-butyl lithium has increased year by year.
The common preparation method of the sec-butyl lithium is that the lithium metal reacts with the 2-chlorobutane in an inert hydrocarbon solvent, most of the lithium metal is prepared in a small scale in a laboratory at home and abroad at present, and some of the lithium metal are only prepared in a small scale at home and abroad, such as J Am. chem. Soc. 1941, 63, 9, 2479-containing 2482; J. am. chem. Soc. 1969, 91, 23, 6362-; european Journal of organic chemistry 2013, 24, 4136-4141, etc.
The literature for preparing sec-butyl lithium on a large scale is less, and metal lithium is firstly melted and stirred in white oil at 180-230 ℃, then is rapidly cooled to form lithium sand fine particles with phi of 40-250 mu m, and finally is filtered, washed by a solvent and put into a synthesis reaction kettle, such as the literature US 20070152354; raney filial, sec-butyl lithium synthesis [ J ], Lanhua technology, stage 03 of 1990.
The lithium sand preparation needs high temperature and rapid cooling, has high requirements on equipment and is complicated to operate; white oil is easy to remain in the product, and the product quality is affected. And the rapid temperature reduction in large-scale production is difficult to achieve, the metallic lithium is easy to agglomerate, and if the metallic lithium is cooled by cold water or frozen brine, the metallic lithium is inflammable and explosive when meeting water, so that great potential safety hazard exists. Meanwhile, the production of sec-butyl lithium is easy to generate a Woltz side reaction due to the reaction temperature and an amplification effect, so that the quality and the yield of the sec-butyl lithium are reduced.

Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Referring to fig. 1-2, the present invention provides a method for industrially producing sec-butyl lithium, comprising the following steps:
(1) replacing air with argon in the reaction kettle 2, and adding a solvent;
(2) putting the lithium particles into a feeder 1, replacing air with argon, and putting all the lithium particles into a reaction kettle;
(3) starting stirring, dropwise adding 2-chlorobutane through a metering pump to react with lithium metal, and controlling the reaction temperature through a reaction kettle jacket and the feeding speed of the 2-chlorobutane;
(4) keeping the temperature for 2-4 h, then pressing the reaction liquid into an intermediate tank 4 by using argon, and keeping excessive lithium metal in the reaction kettle;
(5) the feed liquid in the intermediate tank is pressed by argon gas to a filter 5 to remove lithium chloride solid, and the obtained colorless to light yellow transparent clear liquid, namely the solution of sec-butyl lithium, is sequentially conveyed to a preparation tank 6 and a product storage tank 7.
Further, a specially-made lithium particle separation device is arranged in the reaction kettle in the step (1).
The solvent in the step (1) is one or a mixed solvent of two or more of hydrocarbon solvents such as n-pentane, cyclopentane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, octane and the like.
Furthermore, the diameter of the lithium particles in the step (2) is phi 2-15 mm, and the theoretical molar ratio of the lithium metal to the 2-chlorobutane is 2-4: 1 according to the reaction equation of FIG. 1. The metal lithium can be excessive by 50-100% in the first feeding process, so that the 2-chlorobutane is added into the reaction kettle to react with the metal lithium in a short time, the generated sec-butyl lithium is effectively prevented from reacting with the 2-chlorobutane, and side reactions such as Woltz reaction and the like are inhibited. And excessive metal lithium is left in the reaction kettle, and the feeding amount of each batch of metal lithium later can achieve the same effect only by the theoretical weight.
Further, in the step (3), the reaction temperature of the metal lithium and the 2-chlorobutane is 30-40 ℃. Since the reaction of 2-chlorobutane and metallic lithium is an exothermic reaction, the temperature in the reaction vessel gradually rises with the continuous addition of 2-chlorobutane, and side reactions are easily caused. The temperature is reduced by introducing cooling oil into a reaction kettle jacket and a reflux condenser 3, and the temperature is controlled to be 30-40 ℃ by dropping the 2-chlorobutane, so that side reactions caused by temperature rise are avoided.
Further, the heat preservation time in the step (4) is 2-4 hours, and the temperature is 30-40 ℃.
Further, the concentration of the sec-butyl lithium obtained in the step (5) is 10-20%, and a corresponding solvent can be added to prepare the required concentration.
