Description

Process for producing dibenzylamine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing dibenzylamine.
Background
Dibenzylamine is an important organic synthesis intermediate, can be used for synthesizing curing agents for curing penicillin, rubber and plastics, is mainly used for producing high-efficiency nontoxic vulcanization accelerators of tetrabenzyl thiuram disulfide (TBZTD) and zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate (ZBEC), and can also be used for measuring cobalt, iron, cyanate and the like.
The prior production method of dibenzyl amine mainly comprises a benzyl chloride method and a benzaldehyde method, wherein the former is a traditional old process, elemental iodine is generally used as a catalyst, and dibenzyl amine is produced through the reaction of benzyl chloride and benzylamine under normal pressure, and the process is mature, but the yield of dibenzyl amine is not high (a large amount of tribenzylamine byproducts are produced) and the quality is poor (chlorine is contained), so that the requirements of modern medicine and agriculture on the quality of dibenzyl amine can not be met; the latter is a preparation method of high-purity dibenzylamine, which takes benzaldehyde and ammonia as raw materials, and the raw materials are mixed with a reaction solvent to carry out reduction oxidation reaction under hydrogenation high pressure and a catalyst to prepare dibenzylamine. Liquid ammonia or ammonia gas is inflammable, explosive and volatile, and a special pressure-resistant liquefied gas tank truck is needed during transportation, so that in recent years, the industrial accident rate caused by using the liquid ammonia is always high; meanwhile, accurate metering is troublesome when using liquid ammonia or ammonia, and the reaction is finished, so that excessive liquid ammonia or ammonia is difficult to recycle and reuse, and the difficulty in industrial production operation and waste water and waste gas treatment is increased.
In addition, dibenzylamine is also available as a byproduct of the hydrogenation of benzonitrile to produce benzylamine, and generally the process has very high selectivity to benzylamine and very low selectivity to dibenzylamine, and thus is not the mainstream dibenzylamine production process.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need for an improved process for the manufacture of dibenzylamine which solves the above-mentioned problems.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a method for preparing dibenzyl amine by utilizing benzonitrile to prepare dibenzyl amine through high-selectivity hydrogenation, and the method has mild reaction conditions and high atom utilization rate, and meets the requirements of clean and green production.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing dibenzylamine, comprising the steps of:
step1, adding benzonitrile and a reaction solvent into a high-pressure reaction kettle, mixing, adding a catalyst for hydrogenation reaction, and obtaining a reaction crude product;
And 2, cooling, filtering and purifying the reaction crude product obtained in the step1 to obtain a dibenzyl amine finished product.
As a further improvement of the invention, in the step 1, the reaction solvent is a mixture of toluene and benzylamine, and the mass ratio of toluene to benzylamine is 1: (0.1-0.5).
Further, the mass ratio of the benzonitrile to the reaction solvent is (0.1-0.5): 1.
Further, the mass ratio of the benzonitrile to the catalyst is 1 (0.01-0.1).
Further, the temperature of the hydrogenation reaction is 50-120 ℃, the reaction pressure is 0.6-3 Mpa, and the reaction time is 0.3-2 h.
Further, the crude reaction product comprises benzylamine and dibenzylamine.
In step 2, the method further comprises collecting the products recovered in the rectification and purification process, wherein the recovered products are toluene and benzylamine.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the catalyst is a cerium oxide supported ruthenium-iron bimetallic catalyst.
Further, the load of ruthenium in the catalyst is 1-10wt% of the carrier, and the load of iron is 1-15wt% of the carrier.
Further, the catalyst is prepared by adopting a sequential impregnation method, and the specific steps are as follows:
Step 1, calcining cerium oxide at 500 ℃ for 1h;
step 2, preparing ruthenium nitrate into an aqueous solution, impregnating the calcined cerium oxide, dehydrating on a rotary evaporator after the impregnation is carried out for 12 hours, and vacuum drying the obtained solid at 110 ℃ for 12 hours to obtain Ru/CeO 2;
Preparing ferric nitrate into an aqueous solution, impregnating Ru/CeO 2, dehydrating on a rotary evaporator after impregnating for 12 hours, and vacuum drying the obtained solid at 110 ℃ for 12 hours to obtain RuFe/CeO 2;
Step 4, calcining RuFe/CeO 2 at 450 ℃ for 4 hours;
and 5, reducing the calcined RuFe/CeO 2 with hydrogen at 200 ℃ for 4 hours, and cooling to obtain the cerium oxide supported ruthenium-iron bimetallic catalyst.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. the invention provides a method for preparing dibenzyl amine, which utilizes benzonitrile to prepare dibenzyl amine by high-selectivity hydrogenation under the action of a cerium oxide-supported ruthenium-iron bimetallic catalyst.
2. Compared with the alcohol solvent conventionally used in hydrogenation reaction, the method has the advantages that the vaporization heat of the reaction solvent is relatively low, the energy consumption for recovering the solvent is lower, and the method is beneficial to industrial production.
3. The byproduct ammonia of the invention has low solubility in toluene and benzylamine, and the concentration of ammonia in a liquid phase system is small in the reaction process, thereby being beneficial to the selective promotion of dibenzyl amine.
4. In terms of reaction mechanism, benzonitrile reacts with hydrogen to firstly generate a benzyl imine intermediate, then hydrogenation is continued to generate benzyl amine, meanwhile, the benzyl amine also can generate condensation reaction with benzyl imine to generate N-benzyl imine, and the N-benzyl imine is hydrogenated to generate dibenzylamine. In the process, the rate of generating the benzylamine by hydrogenating the benzylimine is slower, and aiming at the situation, the benzylamine is added into the reaction solvent, wherein part of the benzylamine can react with the benzylimine rapidly, so that the rate of generating the dibenzyl amine is increased, and the reaction time is shortened. And this part of the consumed benzylamine can be supplemented by hydrogenation of the benzylimine.
5. Compared with the method which completely uses benzylamine as the solvent, the method uses the mixture of toluene and benzylamine as the solvent, can reduce the viscosity of the system, and avoids the adsorption accumulation of reaction products on the surface of the catalyst, thereby reducing the activity of the catalyst. In addition, the benzylamine itself can be deaminated to generate toluene in a small amount in the reaction process, and the mixture of toluene and benzylamine is used as a solvent, so that no new substance is introduced, and the reaction and subsequent rectification are facilitated.
6. The invention can obtain crude products of reactions with different proportions of the benzylamine and the dibenzylamine by adjusting the proportions of the methylbenzene and the benzylamine, so that the production proportions of the benzylamine and the dibenzylamine can be adjusted according to market demands.
7. The catalyst adopted by the invention is a cerium oxide supported ruthenium-iron bimetallic catalyst, has high and stable catalytic activity, weak adsorption capacity to ammonia, favorability for the generation of dibenzylamine and high selectivity to dibenzylamine, can react at lower temperature and pressure, and accords with the effects of energy conservation and consumption reduction.
