Definitions
- the present invention relates to the manufacture of amino alcohols by electrochemical reduction of nitro alcohols.
- Nitro-alcohols are derivatives easily obtained by addition of formaldehyde on nitro-paraffins. Several processes have been described for transforming them into amino-alcohols (alkanol-amines) used in the manufacture of cosmetics, detergents or as intermediates for the synthesis of bactericides and pharmaceutical products.
- the reduction of the -NO2 group can be carried out by the Fe-Fe ++ pair in sulfuric or acetic acid medium, but the weight of reagent used is approximately three times that of the nitro derivative to be reduced; this results in a large amount of solid residue to be removed and it is necessary to rectify the liquid phase containing the amine in order to obtain a pure product; the yield is around 80%
- the only raw material consumed stoichiometrically is nitro-alcohol; the consumption of sulfuric acid being reduced to a minimum and in certain cases possibly being zero. There is little or no release to the environment. And, the conversion of the nitro derivative into an amino derivative can reach 95-98% and in most cases remains above 90%.
- reaction conditions make it impossible to form derivatives (R) 2-N-CH par, by Mannich reaction, often undesirable in the applications of amino alcohols, because of their physical properties and structure close to theirs, which increases the difficulty and the cost of the amino alcohol purification operations.
- the reduction of the R-N02 group and the acid-amino derivative separation are carried out by electroreduction in sulfuric medium in three stages.
- the invention relates to a process for the production of amino alcohols by electrochemical reduction of nitro-alcohols in sulfuric medium in three stages.
- the nitro group is reduced on a cathode made of a material with a high hydrogen overvoltage by treating a sulfuric solution of the nitro derivative, the reaction being carried out on a cathode whose voltage is moderately electronegative.
- the electronegative voltage is higher in absolute value.
- the sulfuric amino alcohol solution obtained is subjected to a purification operation by electro-electrodialysis and elimination of water.
- the first step there is a reduction to four electrons which transforms R-N02 into R-NOH.
- This reduction of the nitro group is carried out on a cathode produced from a material with a high hydrogen overvoltage by treating an aqueous sulfuric solution of the nitro derivative. This reaction is effective on a cathode whose voltage is moderately electronegative.
- the hydroxylamine amine is reduced to 2 electrons on a cathode whose electronegative voltage is higher in absolute value than previously.
- the sulfuric amino alcohol solution obtained is subjected to a purification operation by electro-electrodialysis, then to elimination of water.
- the two stages of electrochemical reduction can be implemented in a diaphragm cell consisting of a cation exchanger (MEC) or anion exchanger (MEA) membrane; the purification phase can be carried out in the same device or in a specific device.
- MEC cation exchanger
- MEA anion exchanger
- the current flows through the migration of the H3O+ cation under an electric field, resulting in a dilution of the catholyte.
- the current efficiency being total, the four protons generated at the anode by oxidation of water are consumed for cathodic reduction; there is no release of hydrogen.
- the efficiency of the current is not complete and part of it will be used to reduce protons to H2. This consumption of protons will be compensated by a higher production at the anode and a higher H3O+ flux.
- MEA diaphragm cell can be diagrammed in a similar manner.
- the final purification by electro-electrodialysis can be carried out in a special apparatus as shown in Figure 1 (3rd step) which differs from the MEA cell only in the nature of the electrode materials.
- the use of MEA membrane may have the advantage of a more strict suppression of the transfer by ion exchange of the cations R-NH3+ and R-NH2OH+ to the anolyte; one can also more easily use the anode compartment for carrying out the oxidation reaction.
- it is simpler and more convenient to carry out the reduction operations in electrochemical cells provided with an MEC diaphragm and purification in an electro-electrodialysis machine provided with an MEA diaphragm.
- the process is applicable to the nitro-alcohols represented by the formula in which R1 and R2 together or separately are hydrogen, the hydroxyalkyl group, such as hydroxymethyl, or a linear or branched alkyl group, in particular, methyl, ethyl, propyl or containing a number of carbon atoms greater than three.
- nitro products leading to industrially important alkanol-amines such as, nitro-2-methyl-2-propanol-1, nitro-2-methyl-2-propanediol 1-3, nitro- 2-ethyl-2-propanediol 1-3, nitro-2-butanol-1, tris (hydroxymethyl) nitromethane.
- the cathode is constructed from a material with a high hydrogen overvoltage such as pure or alloyed lead, mercury in the form of an amalgam (with copper, lead, Zn, etc.), zinc, zirconium. etc ...
- the anode is made of a material chemically inert in the anodic solution and preferably with low oxygen overvoltage such as for example Pb, ruthenium titanium, platinum Pt, etc.
- the diaphragm is made with a cation exchange membrane or commercial anion exchanger such as, for example, those sold under the brands “Nafion” (Du Pont) "IONAC” (Ionac), “ARP” and “CRP” (Rhône Poulenc) or those marketed by ASAHI Chem Ind or ASAHI CLASS CO etc ...

- the H2SO4 content of the catholyte will be such that the molar ratio is between 1 and 1.5, preferably between 1.05 and 1.18.
- the anolyte is an aqueous sulfuric solution; its composition will depend on the type and properties of the membrane used and in particular on its permeability to sulfuric acid.
- H2SO4 in the anolyte will have a value such that the migration flow by diffusion of H2SO4 is minimized as well as the transfer of organic cations by ion exchange.
- the sulfuric solution of nitro-alcohols used as a catholyte can be prepared from solid products obtained by crystallization and purified by recrystallization.
- aqueous formaldehyde solution titrating from 35 to 40% is placed in a stirred reactor; it is brought to 40 ° C; we adjust the pH at 9 and the nitro paraffin is added dropwise while maintaining the temperature between 40 and 50 ° C and the pH at 9-10 by addition of a 15N aqueous NaOH solution; after one hour, the addition of nitro paraffin is complete; the mixture is stirred again for 1 hour at the same temperature while maintaining the pH above 9; the amount of nitro derivative is exactly stoichiometric or in slight excess (1 mol%) over the amount of formaldehyde.

- the anode compartments are emptied and immediately filled with pure water, leaving the electrodes energized ; the interpolar voltage takes a high value, then decreases because of the progressive increase in acidity of the anolyte, goes through a minimum and increases again because of the decrease in conductivity of the catholyte caused by its progressive depletion in ions.
