Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en fremgangsmåde til formindskelse af nitrosaminindholdet i dinitroaniliner.The present invention relates to a process for reducing the nitrosamine content of dinitroanilines.

I Russian Chem. Rev., 4£ (1), 34-50 (1971) (eng.), gøres der generelt rede for kemien af aliphatiske N-nitrosaminer. Blandt andre emner beskrives reaktiviteten af nitrosaminer. Artiklen omtaler reaktionen af brom og svovlsyre med nitrosaminer. En artikel i Lieb. Ann., 151, 366 (1.869), beskriver, at nitrosodibenzylamin opløstes i brom. Produkterne var mono- og dibromerede dibenzylaminer. Det angives, at hydrogenbromid er et effektivt denitroseringsmiddel (Chem. Abst. , (5, 2434-2435 (1912), og Arzneimittel Forsch., 20^, 1513 (1970).In Russian Chem. Rev., £ 4 (1), 34-50 (1971) (eng.), Generally explains the chemistry of aliphatic N-nitrosamines.

2 let et hidtil ukendt analytisk apparatur, kendt som et termisk energianalyseapparat (TEA) [J. Chromatogr., 107 (1975), 351, og de deri citerede referencer, samt "N-Nitroso Compounds in the Environment", IARC Scientific Publication nr. 9 (International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, 1974), side 40].2 readily a novel analytical apparatus known as a thermal energy analyzer (TEA) [J. Chromatogr., 107 (1975), 351, and the references cited therein, as well as "N-Nitroso Compounds in the Environment", IARC Scientific Publication No. 9 (International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, 1974), page 40].

TEA analyserer specifikt for nitroso- (-NO)-gruppen, og det er i stand til at påvise nitrosogruppen i så lave koncentrationer som 0,02 ppm - meget lavere end tidligere kendt analyseteknik. En analyse af forskellige dinitroaniliner med TEA afslører, at nogle af dinitroanilinerne indeholder meget små mængder nitrosaminer. Tilstedeværelsen af endog en meget ringe mængde nitrosamin betragtes som uønskelig, fordi visse af nitrosaminerne har vist sig at være carcinogene ved dyr.TEA specifically analyzes for the nitroso (-NO) group, and it is able to detect the nitroso group at concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm - much lower than previously known assay techniques. An analysis of various dinitroanilines with TEA reveals that some of the dinitroanilines contain very small amounts of nitrosamines. The presence of even a very small amount of nitrosamine is considered undesirable because some of the nitrosamines have been found to be carcinogenic in animals.

Fjernelsen af nitrosaminer fra dinitroaniliner, som er fremstillet kommercielt med henblik på anvendelse som herbicider, frembyder imidlertid specielle problemer, fordi der på den ene side er tale om meget store kvantiteter, som skal behandles, medens der på den anden side er tale om, at nitrosaminindholdet skal formindskes fra meget lavt til yderst lavt. Forsøg har vist, at mange kendte nitrosaminfjernelsesreagenser, som er effektive ved højere nitrosaminkoncentrationer, er aldeles ineffektive ved de lave koncentrationer, som dinitroanilinherbicidfremstilling opererer med. Dertil kommer, at mange af disse reagenser skal anvendes under betingelser, som ikke kan overføres til industriel målestok, f.eks. af økonomiske grunde.However, the removal of nitrosamines from dinitroanilines commercially prepared for use as herbicides presents special problems because, on the one hand, they are very large quantities that must be treated, while on the other hand, the nitrosamine content must be reduced from very low to extremely low. Studies have shown that many known nitrosamine removal reagents which are effective at higher nitrosamine concentrations are completely ineffective at the low concentrations at which dinitroaniline herbicide production operates. In addition, many of these reagents must be used under conditions which cannot be transferred to an industrial scale, e.g. for financial reasons.

Formålet med den foreliggende opfindelse er derfor at tilvejebringe en fremgangsmåde til formindskelse af nitrosaminindholdet i dinitroaniliner, og denne fremgangsmåde skal ydermere være effektiv ved de ovenfor omtalte, specielle forhold i forbindelse med dinitroanilinherbicidfremstillingen. Fjernelse af nitrosaminerne fra disse herbicider anses for at være en ønskelig forsigtighedsforanstaltning ved beskyttelsen af mennesker og husdyrbestande mod en mulig kilde for dinitrosaminer.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for reducing the nitrosamine content of dinitroanilines, and this method is further effective in the above-mentioned special conditions associated with dinitroaniline herbicide preparation. Removal of the nitrosamines from these herbicides is considered a desirable precaution in protecting humans and livestock from a possible source of dinitrosamines.

Den foreliggende opfindelse tilvejebringer en fremgangsmåde til formindskelse af nitrosaminindholdet i de nedenfor specifikt angivne dinitroaniliner, hvilken fremgangsmåde er ejendommelig ved, at det nitrosaminholdige dinitroanilin i fly 3The present invention provides a process for reducing the nitrosamine content of the dinitroanilines specifically specified below, which is characterized in that the nitrosamine-containing dinitroaniline in aircraft 3

dende fase og ved en temperatur mellem stuetemperatur og 140°C bringes i kontakt med et reagens valgt blandt molekylært brom, molekylært chlor, N-bromsuccinimid, N-chlorsuccinimid, bromchlo-rid, pyridinperbromid og pyridiniumbromidperbromid, indtil koncentrationen af nitrosaminen er blevet formindsket.at that temperature and at a temperature between room temperature and 140 ° C are contacted with a reagent selected from molecular bromine, molecular chlorine, N-bromosuccinimide, N-chlorosuccinimide, bromochloride, pyridine perbromide and pyridinium bromide perbromide until the concentration of the nitrosamine has been reduced.

Foretrukne dinitroaniliner, med hvilke den foreliggende opfindelse gennemføres, er trifluralin, isopropalin og benefin.Preferred dinitroanilines with which the present invention is carried out are trifluralin, isopropaline and benefin.

Generelt fremstilles dinitroanilinerne ved en reaktionsvej, for hvilken nedenstående er typisk for trifluralin.Generally, the dinitroanilines are prepared by a reaction pathway for which the following is typical of trifluralin.

Det antages, at ringe mængder af nitrogenoxider, der er tilbage fra nitreringstrinet, reagerer med en del af aminen under amineringstrinet, hvilket frembringer ringe mængder nitrosamin, der kan forekomme i dinitroanilinslutproduktet. Derfor forventes en hvilken som helst nitrosamin-forurening at være nitrosoderivatet af den anvendte alkylamin. Det gisnes imidlertid, at der også kan dannes -yderst små mængder også af andre nitrosaminer.It is believed that small amounts of nitrogen oxides remaining from the nitration step react with a portion of the amine during the amination step, producing small amounts of nitrosamine that may be present in the dinitroanil end product. Therefore, any nitrosamine contamination is expected to be the nitroso derivative of the alkylamine used. However, it is believed that extremely small amounts of other nitrosamines can also be formed.

Fjernelsen af nitrosaminer er ønskelig-, uanset disses identitet, og den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde opfylder dette formål.The removal of nitrosamines is desirable, regardless of their identity, and the process of the present invention fulfills this purpose.

Den mekanisme., hvorved den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde arbejder, er ikke kendt med sikkerhed. Det er imidlertid kendt, at nitrosaminen omdannes, "denitroseres", til en forbindelse, der Ikke indeholder nitrosamingruppen, og det menes, men er endnu ikke bevist, at der kan udvikles NOBr eller N0C1 som en del af denitroseringen.The mechanism by which this process works is not known with certainty. However, it is known that the nitrosamine is converted, "denitosed," into a compound that does not contain the nitrosamine group, and it is believed, but has not yet been proven, that NOBr or NOC1 can be developed as part of the denitrosation.

Den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde tilvejebringer en væsentlig reduktion i nitrosaminkoncentrationen, uanset begyndelsesmængden af nitrosamin. Fremgangsmåden er blevet gennemført med dinitroaniliner indeholdende fra så lidt som 10 ppm nitrosamin til så meget som adskillige tusinde ppm nitrosamin. Nitrosaminkoncentrationen reduceres almindeligvis til ca. en tiendedel af begyndelsesmængden eller derunder. I mange tilfælde reduceres nitrosaminkoncentrationen til under ca. 1 ppm.The process of the present invention provides a substantial reduction in the concentration of nitrosamine, irrespective of the initial amount of nitrosamine. The process has been carried out with dinitroanilines containing from as little as 10 ppm nitrosamine to as much as several thousand ppm nitrosamine. The nitrosamine concentration is generally reduced to about one-tenth of the initial amount or less. In many cases, the nitrosamine concentration is reduced to below approx. 1 ppm.

Den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde gennemføres i væskefase. Ved de dinitroaniliner, der smelter ved lavere temperaturer, såsom under 140°C, opnås denne fortrinsvis ved opvarmning af det nitros-aminholdige dinitroanilin til dets smeltetemperatur eller noget højere. Trifluralin smelter ved 54-55°C, og benefin smelter ved 65-66°C. Isopropalin smelter ved ca. 30°C, men på grund af mindre urenheder er det almindeligvis flydende ved stuetemperatur. Væskefase kan yderligere opnås ved opløsning af det nitrosaminholdige dinitroanilin i et opløsningsmiddel. Egnede opløsningsmidler indbefatter aliphatiske alkoholer, såsom methanol og ethanol, og halogenerede aliphatiske carbonhydrider, såsom chloroform, methylen-chlorid og carbontetrachlorid. Opløsningsmidler, der er yderst reaktive med molekylært brom eller chlor, er uegnede.The process of the present invention is carried out in liquid phase. For the dinitroanilines which melt at lower temperatures, such as below 140 ° C, this is preferably obtained by heating the nitrosamine-containing dinitroaniline to its melting temperature or slightly higher. Trifluralin melts at 54-55 ° C and benefin melts at 65-66 ° C. Isopropaline melts at approx. 30 ° C, but due to minor impurities it is usually liquid at room temperature. Liquid phase can be further obtained by dissolving the nitrosamine-containing dinitroaniline in a solvent. Suitable solvents include aliphatic alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, and halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chloroform, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. Solvents that are highly reactive with molecular bromine or chlorine are unsuitable.

Molekylært brom og molekylært chlor er de mest egnede reagenser, og af disse er brom særlig foretrukket. N-Bromsuccin-imid, N-chlorsuccinimid, bromchlorid, pyridinperbromid og pyridi-niumbromidperbromid kan imidlertid også anvendes. Den mængde reagens, der skal anvendes, er ikke kritisk, sålænge mængden er tilstrækkelig til at reducere begyndelsesmængden af nitrosamin til en mindre mængde. Når der anvendes brom, er 0,02-2,0 g reagens pr.Molecular bromine and molecular chlorine are the most suitable reagents, and of these bromine is particularly preferred. However, N-bromosuccin imide, N-chlorosuccinimide, bromochloride, pyridine perbromide and pyridinium bromide perbromide may also be used. The amount of reagent to be used is not critical as long as the amount is sufficient to reduce the initial amount of nitrosamine to a smaller amount. When bromine is used, 0.02-2.0 g of reagent per

nitroanilin viser sig at være optimalt. Når der anvendes chlor, er 15-100 ml/min. chlorgas pr. 100 g dinitroanilin tilfredsstillende, og 35 ml/min. chlorgas pr. 100 g dinitroanilin viser sig at være optimalt. Når der anvendes N-bromsuccinimid, N-chlorsuccin-imid, bromchlorid, pyridinperbromid eller pyridiniumbromidperbromid, er mængder på 0,05-5,0 g reagens pr. 100 g dinitroanilin egnede. · Reaktionen gennemføres ved temperaturer fra stuetemperatur og til 140°C, og temperaturer på under 120°C foretrækkes på grund af den større risiko for sidereaktioner ved højere temperaturer. Når fremgangsmåden gennemføres uden opløsningsmiddel, gennemføres reaktionen ved temperaturer på over det specifikke dinitro-anilins smeltetemperatur. Når fremgangsmåden gennemføres med trifluranilin, isopropalin ogbenefin uden anvendelse af opløsningsmiddel, er der opnået gode resultater ved temperaturer på fra 70 til 90°C for alle reagenser undtagen chlor. Ved chlor foretrækkes temperaturer på 90-120°C. Reaktionen kan gennemføres ved atmosfæriske tryk eller ved forhøjede tryk.nitroaniline proves to be optimal. When chlorine is used, 15-100 ml / min. chlorine gas per 100 g dinitroaniline satisfactorily, and 35 ml / min. chlorine gas per 100 g dinitroaniline proves to be optimal. When N-bromosuccinimide, N-chlorosuccinimide, bromochloride, pyridine perbromide or pyridinium bromide perbromide are used, amounts of 0.05-5.0 g of reagent per liter are used. 100 g dinitroaniline are suitable. · The reaction is carried out at temperatures from room temperature to 140 ° C and temperatures below 120 ° C are preferred due to the higher risk of side reactions at higher temperatures. When the process is carried out without solvent, the reaction is carried out at temperatures above the melting temperature of the specific dinitro-aniline. When carried out with trifluraniline, isopropaline and benefin without the use of solvent, good results have been obtained at temperatures of 70 to 90 ° C for all reagents except chlorine. For chlorine, temperatures of 90-120 ° C are preferred. The reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or at elevated pressure.

Den hastighed, hvormed den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde skrider frem, varierer med koncentrationen af nitrosaminen, temperaturen, reagenset, dets tilsætningshastighed og andre faktorer. Hverken tilstedeværelsen af vand alene eller tilstedeværelsen af vand ved en neutral eller sur pH-værdi er skadelig. Tilstedeværelsen af vand med en alkalisk pH-værdi er imidlertid ufordelagtig, således at der foretrækkes en pH-værdi på under 8, når der er en betydelig mængde vand til stede i reaktionsblandingen. Nitrosaminfjernelsens fremadskriden kan overvåges ved gaschromatografi eller ved TEA-analyse. Denitroseringen er almindeligvis endt på under 1 time. Tidsstudier af den her omhandlede fremgangsmåde har vist et tidligt fald i mængderne af nitrosamin, efterfulgt i nogle tilfælde af en let stigning i nitrosaminmængderne efter langvarig reaktionstid. Det menes, at en langvarig udsættelse af (1) dinitro-anilinet og (2) denitroseringsprodukterne for reaktionsbetingelserne kan resultere i yderligere nitrosamindannelse. Det er derfor ønskeligt at minimalisere reaktionstiderne.The rate at which the present process proceeds varies with the concentration of the nitrosamine, the temperature, the reagent, its rate of addition and other factors. Neither the presence of water alone nor the presence of water at a neutral or acidic pH is harmful. However, the presence of water with an alkaline pH is disadvantageous, so that a pH of less than 8 is preferred when a significant amount of water is present in the reaction mixture. The progress of nitrosamine removal can be monitored by gas chromatography or by TEA analysis. The denitrification usually ends in less than 1 hour. Time studies of the present process have shown an early decrease in the amounts of nitrosamine, followed in some cases by a slight increase in the amounts of nitrosamine after prolonged reaction time. It is believed that prolonged exposure of (1) the dinitro-aniline and (2) denitrosation products to the reaction conditions may result in further nitrosamine formation. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize the reaction times.

Når reaktionen gennemføres uden opløsningsmiddel, kræves der ingen oparbejdning. Hvis der ønskes oparbejdning, er denne konventionel og tager form af bobling af luft gennem reaktionsbian-When the reaction is carried out without solvent, no reprocessing is required. If reprocessing is desired, it is conventional and takes the form of bubbling of air through the reaction binder.

Nedenstående eksempler illustrerer den foreliggende opfindelse, og de vil sætte en fagmand i stand til at udøve opfindelsen.The following examples illustrate the present invention and will enable one skilled in the art to practice the invention.

Medmindre andet er angivet, sker bestemmelsen af nitrosaminkoncentrationen i nedenstående eksempler ved en gaschromatogra-fisk metode, der er følsom ned til ca. 0,5 ppm. En "ikke-påviselig" aflæsning (angivet som "I-P") anses for at repræsentere mindre end ca. 0,5 ppm nitrosamin. Der anvendes en Hewlett-Packard Model 5711A gaschromatograf, men metoden kan gennemføres med et hvilket som helst gaschromatografiapparatur, der er udstyret med en flammeioniseringsdetektor. Søjlen er en glasspiral, 1,2 m høj x 3,2 mm i diameter, der er fyldt med 3% "Carbowax 20M" på 0,125-0,149 mm "AW DMCS Chromosorb G", og der arbejdes ved 100°C. Efter eluering af nitrosaminspidsen opvarmes søjlen til 230°C, og den holdes ved denne temperatur i ca. 15 minutter. Strømningshastigheden for helium er 60 ml pr. minut. Der anvendes en standard med ca. samme koncentration af nitrosamin, som forventes af prøven. Såvel standard som prøve fremstilles i methylenchlorid.Unless otherwise indicated, the determination of the nitrosamine concentration in the examples below is carried out by a gas chromatographic method which is sensitive down to approx. 0.5 ppm. A "non-detectable" reading (designated as "I-P") is considered to represent less than approx. 0.5 ppm nitrosamine. A Hewlett-Packard Model 5711A gas chromatograph is used, but the method can be carried out with any gas chromatography apparatus equipped with a flame ionization detector. The column is a glass coil, 1.2 m high x 3.2 mm in diameter, filled with 3% "Carbowax 20M" of 0.125-0.1149 mm "AW DMCS Chromosorb G" and is operated at 100 ° C. After eluting the nitrosamine peak, the column is heated to 230 ° C and maintained at this temperature for approx. 15 minutes. The flow rate for helium is 60 ml. minute. A standard of approx. the same concentration of nitrosamine expected from the sample. Both standard and sample are prepared in methylene chloride.
