Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Aminonitrilen Die katalytische 11vdrierung von Dicarbonsäuredinitrilen führt bei Ver«endung der üblichen Hydrierungskatalysatoren unter den üblichen Hvdrierbedingungen itn allgemeinen zu Produkten, die hauptsächlich aus Diaminen bestehen und daneben tntIhr oder weniger große Anteile an cyclisehen Iminen, Aminonitrilen und höhermolekularen Produkten enthalten. Um vorzugsweise Aminonitrile herzustellen, hat man vorgeschlagen, Dinitrile in großem Lrberschuß kontinuierlich zusammen mit Wasserstoff unter Druck über fest angeordnete hatalvsatoren zu leiten und aus dem Reaktionsgemisch (las Dinitril abzudestillieren. Diese Arbeitsweise befriedigt jedoch nicht, weil sie zusätzliche Destillierarbeit erfordert. 1?s wurde nun gefunden, daß man Dicarbonsäuredinitrile in einfacher Weise mit guten Ausbeuten zu Aminonitrilen hydrieren kann, wenn man auf das Dinitril nach Zugabe eines Hydrierungskatalysators und zweckmäßigeines Verdünnungsmittels in einem _3utäklaven die zur Hydrierung nur einer Nitrilgruppe benötigte Menge Wasserstoff auf einmal aufgepreßt und das Ganze dann erhitzt, bis kein Druckabfall mehr erfolgt.Process for the preparation of aminonitriles The catalytic hydration of dicarboxylic acid dinitriles leads when the customary hydrogenation catalysts are used under the usual conditions itn general to products that mainly consist of diamines and also contain their or less large proportions of cyclis Contain imines, aminonitriles and higher molecular weight products. To preferably It has been proposed to prepare aminonitriles, dinitriles in large excess continuously together with hydrogen under pressure via fixed ventilators to pass and to distill off from the reaction mixture (read dinitrile. This procedure however, it is unsatisfactory because it requires additional distillation work. 1? S was now found that dicarboxylic acid dinitriles can be obtained in a simple manner with good yields Can hydrogenate to aminonitriles if you react to the dinitrile after adding a hydrogenation catalyst and expediently a diluent in an autoclave for hydrogenation only a nitrile group required amount of hydrogen injected at once and the whole then heated until there is no more pressure drop.

Als Ausgangsstoffe eignen sieh z. B. Bernsteinsäure-, Adipinsäure-, Alkylbernsteinsäure- oder Phthalsäuredinitrile. Geeignete Hydrierungskatalysatoren sind z. B. Nickel oder Kobalt für sich oder auf Trägern, wie Kieselgel, oder in Form von Raneykatalysatoren. Als Verdünnungsmittel eignen sich besonders Benzol und seine Homologen. Ein Zusatz von Ammoniak ist zuweilen nützlich, meistens aber nicht erforderlich. Die günstigsten Reaktionstemperaturen richten sich n'ac'h der Aktivität des Katalysators; im allgemeinen verläuft die Hydrierung schon bei 75 bis 12o° genügend rasch.As starting materials see z. B. succinic acid, adipic acid, Alkyl succinic acid or phthalic acid dinitriles. Suitable hydrogenation catalysts are z. B. nickel or cobalt on its own or on supports, such as silica gel, or in Form of Raney catalysts. Suitable as a diluent especially Benzene and its homologues. An addition of ammonia is useful at times, mostly but not required. The most favorable reaction temperatures are based on n'ac'h the activity of the catalyst; in general, the hydrogenation takes place at 75 to 12o ° fast enough.

Die auf diese Weise leicht in guter Ausbeute erhältlichen Aminonitrile sind wertvolle Zwischenprodukte, insbesondere für Kunststoffe. Beispiel Man füllt in einen Rollautoklaven von 500 cm3 Inhalt tob g Adipinsäuredinitril, too cm3 Benzol und to g Raneynickel und preßt 175 Atm. Wasserstoff auf, entsprechend der aus dem freien Volumen berechneten, zur Hydrierung einer Nitrilgruppe erforderlichen Menge. Dann heizt man auf i 2o° und hält diese Temperatur etwa '/z Stunde lang .lufrecht, wobei der Druck bei 25 Atm. konstant bleibt. Beim Erkalten ist der Druck praktisch gleich dem Atmosphärendruck. Nachdem der Katalysator abfiltriert und das Benzol abdestilliert ist, wird der Rückstand bei vermindertem Druck fraktioniert destilliert. Man erhält 13,7 g Hexamethylendiamin, 53,2 g a-Am!inocapronsäurenitril und 36,3 Teile unverändertes Adipinsäuredinitril zurück. Die Ausbeute an Aminonitril, berechnet auf umgesetztes Dinitril, beträgt also rund 81 °/o der Theorie.The aminonitriles easily obtainable in this way in good yield are valuable intermediate products, especially for plastics. EXAMPLE One fills tob g of adipic acid dinitrile, too cm3 of benzene and to g of Raney nickel and presses 175 atmospheres into a roller autoclave with a capacity of 500 cm3. Hydrogen, corresponding to the amount calculated from the free volume, required for the hydrogenation of a nitrile group. Then it is heated to 120 ° and this temperature is kept for about one-half hour, the pressure being 25 atm. remains constant. When it cools down, the pressure is practically the same as the atmospheric pressure. After the catalyst has been filtered off and the benzene has been distilled off, the residue is fractionally distilled under reduced pressure. 13.7 g of hexamethylenediamine, 53.2 g of α-aminocaproic acid nitrile and 36.3 parts of unchanged adipic acid dinitrile are obtained. The yield of aminonitrile, calculated on the converted dinitrile, is therefore around 81% of theory.
