Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von y-Valerolacton Es wurde .gefunden, daß man y-Valerolacton herstellen kann, wenn man 4-Cyanbuten-(i) mit starken Mineralsäuren, zweckmäßig bei erhöhten Temperaturen, behandelt.Process for the preparation of γ-valerolactone It has been found that y-valerolactone can be prepared if 4-cyano-butene- (i) with strong mineral acids, expediently treated at elevated temperatures.

Als starke Mineralsäure ist insbesondere Schwefelsäure, vorzugsweise in 25 bis 75°/Qiger Konzentration, geeignet. Die günstigsten Reaktionstemperaturen sind von der verwendeten Säure und von deren Konzentration abhängig. Bei Anwendung von 50 bis 6o°/oiger Schwefelsäure ist es z. B. vorteilhaft, die Umsetzung bei Temperaturen von iio bis i2o° durchzuführen.Sulfuric acid is particularly preferred as the strong mineral acid in 25 to 75 ° / Qiger concentration, suitable. The most favorable reaction temperatures depend on the acid used and its concentration. When applying from 50 to 60% sulfuric acid it is z. B. advantageous, the reaction at temperatures to be carried out from iio to i2o °.

Zur Isolierung des y-Valerolactons kann man die Reaktionsmischung mit organischen, mit Wasser nicht mischbaren Flüssigkeiten, beispielsweise Diäthyläther, extrahieren. Aus derartigen Extrakten erhält man durch Destillation praktisch reines y-Valerolacton.The reaction mixture can be used to isolate the γ-valerolactone with organic liquids immiscible with water, e.g. diethyl ether, extract. Virtually pure ones are obtained from such extracts by distillation y-valerolactone.

Es ist ein besonderer Vorteil des Verfahrens, daß man es auch bei Mischungen anwenden kann, die 4-Cyanbuten-(i) enthalten. Eine derartige Mischung erhält man beispielsweise, wenn man i, 4-Dichlorbutan und Alkalicyanid zur Herstellung von Adipinsäuredinitril umsetzt und das Reaktionsprodukt einer fraktionierten Destillation unterwirft. Der zuerst übergehende Vorlauf enthält größere Mengen an 4-Cyanbuten-(i) und läßt sich ebenso wie das reine 4-Cyanbuten-(i) zu y-Valerolacton umsetzen.It is a particular advantage of the process that it can also be used with May use mixtures containing 4-cyanobutene- (i). Such a mix is obtained, for example, if i, 4-dichlorobutane and alkali metal cyanide are used for the preparation of adipic dinitrile and the reaction product of a fractional distillation subject. The first overflow contains larger amounts of 4-cyanobutene- (i) and, like pure 4-cyano-butene- (i), can be converted to y-valerolactone.

Man kann das y-Valerolacton vielseitig verwenden, z. B. als Lösungsmittel oder als Zwischenprodukt. Die in dem nachstehenden Beispiel genannten Teile sind Gewichtsteile.The y-valerolactone can be used in many ways, e.g. B. as a solvent or as an intermediate. The parts mentioned in the example below are Parts by weight.

Beispiel 6oo Teile des Vorlaufes aus dem Umsetzungsprodukt von i, 4-Dichlorbutan und Natriumcyanid werden mit i5oo Teilen 5o°/oiger Schwefelsäure 5 Stunden unter Rückflußkühlung zum Sieden erwärmt. Nach Abkühlen wird das Reaktionsgemisch auf Eis gegossen und dreimal mit je q.oo Teilen Äther extrahiert. Nach Abtreiben des Äthers werden aus dem Extrakt bei 99 bis ioi°/2o Torr 288 Teile rohes y-Valerolacton vom spezifischen Gewicht 1,055 erhalten. Nach Trocknung mit Calciumchlorid und nochmaliger Destillation werden daraus 27o Teile reines y-Valerolacton mit der Verseifungszah1552 gewonnen. Aus den schwefelsauren Mutterlaugen lassen sich nach Neutralisation und wiederholter Ätherextraktion weitere Mengen y-Valerolacton isolieren.EXAMPLE 600 parts of the first run from the reaction product of 1,4-dichlorobutane and sodium cyanide are refluxed with 150 parts of 50% sulfuric acid for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured onto ice and extracted three times with qoo parts of ether each time. After the ether has been stripped off, 288 parts of crude γ-valerolactone with a specific gravity of 1.055 are obtained from the extract at 99 to 10 ° / 2o Torr. After drying with calcium chloride and repeated distillation, 27o parts of pure γ-valerolactone with a saponification number of 1552 are obtained therefrom. Further amounts of γ-valerolactone can be isolated from the sulfuric acid mother liquor after neutralization and repeated ether extraction.
