Description

The preparation of 2,3 dihydro furan compounds
The present invention relates to by corresponding isomery 2,5-dihydrofuran compounds prepares improving one's methods of 2,3 dihydro furan compounds.More particularly, the present invention relates at some epoxide, some aldehyde, carbon monoxide or two or more the above mixtures in them exist down, make 2 in the operate out of phase mode, 5-dihydrofuran compounds is with palladium on the carrier or platinum catalyst contact, with 2,5-dihydrofuran compounds catalytic isomerization turns to the 2,3 dihydro furan compounds.The intermediate that can be used as the precursor of making polymkeric substance and medicine with the 2,3 dihydro furan compounds of this law generation.For example, can at an easy rate 2,3 dihydro furan be converted into 1 with known method, 4-butyleneglycol and cyclopanecarboxaldehyde, the former is the precursor monomer that is used to make urethane and polyester, the latter can be used for the synthesising physiological active compound
In the presence of alkali metal alkoxide, 2,5-dihydrofuran compounds can turn to the 2,3 dihydro furan compounds by isomery, this be known (United States Patent (USP) 2,556,325).German Patent 1,248,669 disclose and have used some metal catalyst, and as palladium, platinum, cobalt, ruthenium and nickel, with 2,5-dihydrofuran catalytic isomerization turns to 2,3 dihydro furan.Yet, German Patent 1,248,669 method is with 2, and 5-dihydrofuran compounds is converted into the selectivity of desired 2,3 dihydro furan compounds and has only 75-85%.
At last, United States Patent (USP) 3,651,092 has discussed at the nickel/arsenic catalyzer that uses in the presence of hydrogen and the carbon monoxide mixtures on the carrier, and still, the selectivity that obtains desired 2,3 dihydro furan is still lower.Be noted that and in this patent, always use hydrogen, and when using carbon monoxide, always mix and use with hydrogen.United States Patent (USP) 5,254,701 disclose the homogeneous process of a kind of 2-of production hydroxyl tetrahydrofuran and 4-acetaldol mixture, this method comprises: (1) heats 2, the 5-dihydrofuran in the presence of the catalyst system that contains tertiary phosphine and ruthenium or rhodium, with 2, the 5-dihydrofuran transforms 2,3 dihydro furan, and (2) are in the presence of an an acidic catalyst, make 2, the 3-dihydrofuran contacts with water, 2,3 dihydro furan is converted into the mixture of 2-hydroxyl tetrahydrofuran and 4-acetaldol.
The invention provides a kind of preparation 2,3-dihydrofuran (2,3-DHF) the method for compounds, this method comprises at elevated temperatures and can increase optionally (i) a kind of aldehyde of amount, it is selected from the alkanal that contains 2-5 carbon atom and contains the chain olefine aldehydr of 3 or 4 carbon atoms, (ii) a kind of epoxide, it is selected from and contains 1 of 2-5 carbon atom, 2-epoxyalkane hydrocarbon and 3,4-epoxy-1-butylene, (iii) carbon monoxide, or (iv) two or more these aldehydes, the mixture of epoxide or carbon monoxide exists down, make 2, (2,5-DHF) compounds is with palladium on the carrier or platinum catalyst contact for the 5-dihydrofuran.The selectivity of the isomerization method that this is new generally surpasses 85% mole, and when in the presence of carbon monoxide, and when operating under the preferably combination of method condition, selectivity generally can be above 95% mole.Those skilled in the art can know that transformation efficiency and selectivity normally are mutually related in catalytic process, and next increase of generalized case causes another to reduce.As the catalyzer of present method, have been found that nickel, rhodium and ruthenium are poorer than the effect of palladium and platinum.
As 2 of reactant or raw material, 5-DHF compounds and 2,3-DHF class product can be to contain at the most the list of 20 carbon atoms-or dicyclo, not compound that replaces or replace in our new method.2,5-DHF and 2, the example of 3-DHF compounds are the compounds with following array structure: In the formula, each R is selected from hydrogen and C independently of one another 1-C 4Alkyl, or on behalf of formation, 2 R substituting groups can together contain the alkylidene group of 5-8 carboatomic ring.Each R is hydrogen or methyl preferably.Reactant and product preferably contain 7 carbon atoms at most.2, the specific examples of 5-dihydrofuran class reactant comprises 2,5-dihydrofuran, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran, 2,2,5-trimethylammonium-2,5-dihydrofuran, 2-methyl-2,5 dihydrofuran, 2,2,3,4,5-pentamethyl--2,5-dihydrofuran etc.In the compound that obtains by the inventive method, the most important thing is 2,3 dihydro furan.
This isomerization method can carried out in the pressure and temperature scope widely.Pressure is not the key character of present method, therefore available a little higher than or pressure below atmospheric pressure.Can use the 1-50 bars absolute, be preferably the 1-30 bars absolute, most preferred is the 1-20 bars absolute.Obviously, the pressure that vapor-phase operation requires to use is wanted synthermal matching, and reactant and product are existed with steam in reactor.The temperature of carrying out isomerization reaction can be 30-200 ℃, is preferably 40-185 ℃, most preferred for 50-175 ℃ in general, the used temperature of platinum catalyst is higher than the used temperature of palladium catalyst.
Can be used for the raising method optionally the example of epoxide and aldehydes comprise compound with following general formula. In the formula, R 1Be hydrogen, C 1-C 3Alkyl or vinyl, R 2Be C 1-C 4Alkyl, vinyl or allyl group.The specific examples of epoxide and aldehydes comprises 3,4-epoxy-1-butylene (EpB), and oxyethane, propylene oxide, butylene oxide ring, crotonic aldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionic aldehyde, just-butyraldehyde, isobutyric aldehyde, valeral, propenal and vinyl acetaldehyde.These compounds can be to be added to 2 wittingly, in the 5-DHF charging, or are present in the charging as impurity, and for example, 1,3-butadiene can selectively be oxidized to EpB, and it changes into 2 by currently known methods again, 5-DHF.Obtain 2,5-DHF can contain trace or a small amount of crotonic aldehyde and/EpB.
Above-mentioned the epoxide of advantageous effect be can play and/or the consumption of aldehydes alters a great deal, concrete catalyzer and reaction conditions, particularly temperature depended on selectivity, and the operation and the mode that adopt, for example gas phase or liquid phase etc.In general, the consumption by volume of epoxide/aldehyde is gas part cumulative volume of entering reactor (promptly 2 in the charging of isomerization process, the diluent gas of 5-DHF reactant and any existence or liquid) 5-20,000ppmv (umbers in per 1,000,000 parts of volumes), be preferably 10-10,000ppmv, most preferred is 100-5,000ppmv.
When independent use carbon monoxide, when promptly not having one of above-mentioned epoxide or aldehyde, the carbon monoxide consumption that significantly increases catalytic selectivity alters a great deal, it depends on these factors, as concrete catalyzer and reaction conditions, temperature particularly, and the operation and the mode that adopt, for example gas phase or liquid phase.In general, the amount of carbon monoxide accounts for the 5-5000ppmv that enters gas reactor cumulative volume (promptly 2, the diluent gas of 5-DHF reactant and any existence or the volume of liquid) in isomerization reaction.Those skilled in the art can know that the carbon monoxide concentration that liquid-phase operation needs is higher than the carbon monoxide concentration of vapor-phase operation.This is that requirement has the carbon monoxide of suitable concn to be dissolved in the liquid.Therefore, liquid-phase operation is that the concentration of carbon monoxide is preferably under the 100-5000ppmv and carries out in the liquid in entering reactor.In gas phase operation, carbon monoxide concentration is preferably 10-500ppmv, and most preferred is 20-200ppmv.The carbon monoxide typical concentration is about 50ppmv in the raw material in gas phase operation.High-load carbon monoxide tends to provide to desirable 2, and the 3-DHF product has better choice.Yet, if selectivity is too high, 2, the formation speed of 3-DHF can be reduced to unacceptable level.
Carbon monoxide randomly can mix use with one or more above-mentioned epoxide and aldehydes to add strong selectivity.For example, at 2 of these epoxide that only contain trace and/or aldehyde, can add carbon monoxide in the 5-DHF reactant to reach the balance of desired selectivity and transformation efficiency.Obviously, the amount of mixing with one or more above-mentioned epoxide and/or aldehydes and improving the optionally carbon monoxide of catalytic process alters a great deal, depend on following these factors, as 2, the amount of epoxide/aldehyde in the 5-DHF reactant, used concrete catalyzer and reaction conditions, particularly temperature, and the operating method of using, for example gas phase or liquid phase etc.In general, the optional CO content that joins in the charging is about and is fed to that the gas feed cumulative volume (promptly accounts for 2 in the reactor, the any diluent gas or the liquid volume of the volume of 5-DHF reactant and above-mentioned epoxide and/or aldehydes and existence) 5-5,000ppmv.As mentioned above, liquid-phase operation can require the concentration of carbon monoxide to be higher than in the used carbon monoxide concentration of gas phase operation.Therefore, liquid-phase operation requirement carbon monoxide concentration of liquid in being fed to reactor is 5-5000ppmv.In gas phase operation, carbon monoxide concentration is preferably 10-200ppmv, most preferably is 20-100ppmv.The typical concentration of carbon monoxide is 25ppmv in the charging in gas phase operation.As the situation of above-mentioned epoxide/aldehydes, the effect of carbon monoxide also is a reversible, therefore, from process, remove epoxide/aldehydes and carbon monoxide, can make activity of such catalysts return to epoxide/aldehyde and the preceding existing level of carbon monoxide adding.
When using under the concentration in the best, above-mentioned epoxide, aldehydes and/or carbon monoxide can provide highly selective, and can not reduce by 2 basically, the generating rate of 3-DHF, thereby, for under the best common inlet amount of epoxide/aldehyde, having increased by 2,3-DHF to empty productive rate (STY).A special advantage of this novel method is, epoxide, and the effect of aldehyde and/or carbon monoxide is a reversible.Therefore, remove epoxide from process, aldehyde and/or carbon monoxide just can recover activity of such catalysts to adding that level that exists before epoxide/aldehyde.This phenomenon is called reversible Langmuir absorption, and it illustrates that expressly the effect of epoxide/aldehyde is a reversible, and can be controlled by the level of using epoxide/aldehyde in the process.This very ideal characteristics only make that the amount that is added to the epoxide/aldehyde in the charging by change just can improved in the range of operating parameters the performance of catalyzer as required widely.Because catalyst activity generally reduces with the consumption increase of epoxide/aldehyde, and generate desirable 2, the 3-DHF product selectivity improves with the increase of epoxide/aldehyde consumption, so, the consumption that can regulate epoxide/aldehyde in the charging is to select generating 2, the activity of 3-DHF compound and selectivity desired combined.
Usually add the performance characteristic that solid additive improves heterogeneous catalyst on the surface of active catalyst, because it is irreversible mostly, so this method out of true and wayward.Therefore, in a single day this catalyst composition forms, and its concrete operations characteristic also just forms.When feed composition changes, heat transfer condition changes, or when selectivity requires to change in concrete the application, just is starved of a kind of " adjustable " catalyst performance.
