Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von n-Propylamin Es wurde gefunden, daß man auf sehr einfache Weise und in guter Ausbeute n-Propylamin erhält, wenn man Acrvlsäurenitril in Anwesenheit von Metallen der ä. Gruppe des Periodischen Systems mit Wasserstoff, -zweckmäßig bei erhöhten Temperaturen, behandelt.Process for the preparation of n-propylamine It has been found that n-propylamine is obtained in a very simple manner and in good yield if one Acrylic acid nitrile in the presence of metals from the group of the Periodic Table treated with hydrogen, expediently at elevated temperatures.

Die Katalysatoren können in reduzierter Form, zweckmäßig auf einem Träger, oder auch in Form von Skelettkatalysatoren angewandt werden, gegebenenfalls unter Zusatz von Aktivatoren, wie Chrom- oder Manganoxyd.The catalysts can be in reduced form, advantageously on one Supports or else in the form of skeletal catalysts can be used, if appropriate with the addition of activators such as chromium or manganese oxide.

Die Hydrierung gelingt bereits bei gewöhnlicher Temperatur, zweckmäßig arbeitet man jedoch bei mäßig erhöhter Temperatur, z. B. bei 5o bis 15o°. Auch darüberliegende Temperaturen können angewandt werden, doch bietet dies keine besonderen Vorteile. Die Umsetzungsgeschwindigkeit läßt sich durch Anwendung von erhöhtem Druck, z. B. von 3o bis aoo at oder darüber, erhöhen. Beim Arbeiten in der flüssigen Phase kann man in Gegenwart von Lösungs- oder Verdünnungsmitteln arbeiten; beim Arbeiten in der Gasphase können inerte Gase oder Dämpfe mitverwendet werden.The hydrogenation is already successful at ordinary temperature, expediently however, one works at a moderately elevated temperature, e.g. B. at 5o to 15o °. Also overlying Temperatures can be used, but there is no particular advantage to this. The conversion rate can be increased by applying increased pressure, e.g. B. from 3o to aoo at or above, increase. When working in the liquid phase you work in the presence of solvents or diluents; when working in Inert gases or vapors can also be used in the gas phase.

Die Hydrierung kann im unterbrochenen oder ununterbrochenen Betrieb bewirkt werden, beispielsweise indem man das flüssige Acrylsäurenitril über den fest -angeordneten Hydrieriingskatalysator, rie-, sein läßt und den Wasserstoff im Gleich- öder Gegenstrom durch das Gefäß führt.The hydrogenation can be carried out in interrupted or uninterrupted operation be effected, for example, by the liquid acrylonitrile over the fixed hydrogenation catalyst, rie-, lets be and the hydrogen runs in cocurrent or countercurrent through the vessel.

Es ist aus der französischen Patentschrift 723 936 bekannt, daß man bei der Hydrierung von Acrylsäurenitril in Gegenwart von Kupferkatalysatoren zunächst unter vollständiger Hydrierung der olefinischen Doppelbindung und der' Nitrilgrwppe n-Propylamin erhält; die Wirksamkeit der Kupferkatalysatoren läßt aber alsbald nach, so daß man nach einiger Zeit Propionsäurenitril als hauptsächliches Hydrierungsprodukt erhält. Daneben bilden sich sekundäre und tertiäre gesättigte Amine neben beträchtlichen Mengen anderer, durch Kondensation oder Polymerisation des ungesättigten -Nitrils entstehender Produkte. Demgegenüber gestatten die Metalle der B. Gruppe des Periodischen Systems die glatte Umwandlung vonAcrylsäurenitril in ii-Propylamin, das frei von sekundärem und tertiärem Amin und von Polymerisationsprodukten ist - und die Katalysatoren lassen auch bei längerer Betriebsdauer nicht in ihrer Wirksamkeit nach.It is known from French patent specification 723 936 that one initially in the hydrogenation of acrylonitrile in the presence of copper catalysts with complete hydrogenation of the olefinic double bond and the nitrile group n-propylamine is obtained; but the effectiveness of the copper catalysts soon declines, so that after some time propiononitrile is the main hydrogenation product receives. In addition, secondary and tertiary saturated amines are formed alongside considerable ones Amounts of others, through condensation or polymerization of the unsaturated nitrile resulting products. In contrast, the metals of group B. allow the periodic System, the smooth conversion of acrylonitrile into ii-propylamine, which is free from secondary and tertiary amine and polymerization products - and the catalysts do not decrease in their effectiveness even after longer periods of operation.

Die im nachstehenden Beispiel angegebenen Teile sind Gewichtsteile.The parts given in the example below are parts by weight.

Beispiel In einem Druckgefäß behandelt man unter Rühren 2ooTeile Acrylsäurenitril in Gegenwart von 5 Teilen Raney-Nickel bei 8d° so lange mit Wasserstoff unter So at Druck, bis kein Wasserstoff mehr aufgenommen wird. Man filtriert vom Katalysator ab und destilliert. Man erhält so 165 Teile n-Propylamin (Kp. = 48 bis 5o°).EXAMPLE 200 parts of acrylonitrile are treated in a pressure vessel with stirring in the presence of 5 parts of Raney nickel at 8d ° as long with hydrogen under So at pressure until no more hydrogen is absorbed. The catalyst is filtered off off and distilled. 165 parts of n-propylamine (b.p. 48 to 50 °) are obtained in this way.
