Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of ⁇ -hydroxymethylketals by electrochemical oxidation of carbonyl compounds with alkanols in the presence of an auxiliary electrolyte and optionally water.
  • JP-A-57/188 686 describes the ⁇ -hydroxylation of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones in neutral solution in the presence of large amounts of water directly to the ⁇ -hydroxyaldehydes and ⁇ -hydroxyketones. According to these methods, however, numerous ⁇ -hydroxy compounds are not or only with difficulty accessible.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to remedy the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • All radicals R 5 ' to R 9' can be not equal to hydrogen, 0 to 3 are preferably not hydrogen, 0 to 2 are particularly preferably not hydrogen.
  • One to three times substituted means one, two or three times substituted.
  • auxiliary electrolytes iodides or bromides are used, such as ammonium halides, e.g. Ammonium bromide, ammonium iodide and tetrabutylammonium iodide and particularly preferably metal halides such as sodium bromide, sodium iodide, potassium iodide and potassium bromide.
  • ammonium halides e.g. Ammonium bromide, ammonium iodide and tetrabutylammonium iodide and particularly preferably metal halides such as sodium bromide, sodium iodide, potassium iodide and potassium bromide.
  • the composition of the electrolyte can be chosen within wide limits.
  • the electrolyte generally contains 0.1 to 5% by weight of water.
  • the electrolytes can have the following compositions, for example: 1 to 49, preferably 5 to 30% by weight of ketone of the formula II 50 to 98.9, preferably 70 to 95% by weight of alkanol of the formula III 0.1 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight of auxiliary electrolyte and 0.1 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 3 wt .-% water.
  • the electrochemical oxidation is preferably carried out at current densities of 0.5 to 25 A / dm 2 and at temperatures of (-20) to 60 ° C., in particular 0 to 40 ° C. Higher temperatures are possible, but generally have no advantages.
  • the reaction can be carried out at reduced or elevated, but preferably at normal pressure (atmospheric pressure) and in electrolysis cells which are conventional per se. One preferably works with undivided flow cells.
  • Suitable anode materials are, for example, noble metals such as platinum or oxides such as ruthenium and chromium oxide or RuO x TiO x mixed oxides and preferably graphite.
  • Iron, steel, nickel and noble metals such as platinum and preferably graphite are generally considered as cathode materials.
  • Preferred compounds I are listed in the table below: R1 R2 R3 R4 methyl 4-methoxyphenyl H methyl methyl 2-methoxyphenyl H methyl 2-methoxyphenyl methyl H methyl Phenyl Propyl H methyl methyl 2-fluorophenyl H methyl methyl 2-methyl-buten-2-yl H methyl 2,5-dimethyl-hexen-2-yl H H methyl Dimethoxymethyl H H methyl tert-butyl H H methyl tert-butyl 4-fluorophenyl H methyl methyl 4-fluorophenyl H methyl methyl 4-fluorophenyl H methyl
  • hydroxymethyl ketals I and the formula I ' are important precursors for hydroxyphenones and can be converted into crop protection agents, photoinitiators, fragrances and pharmaceutical products.
  • the starting compounds II were subjected to electrolysis in an undivided cell with 11 bipolar electrodes in an electrolyte which contained 45 g of potassium iodide as auxiliary electrolyte.
  • Anode and cathode were made of graphite.
  • the current density was 3.3 A / dm2 and the electrolysis temperature was 25 ° C.
  • the electrolyte was pumped through the cell at a flow rate of 200 l / h.
  • Table A The exact composition of the electrolyte as well as further details of Examples 1 to 3 and Experiments 4 to 6, which were carried out for comparison without the addition of water, are summarized in Table A.
  • the starting compounds II ' were subjected to electrolysis in an undivided cell with 11 bipolar electrodes in an electrolyte which contained 45 g of potassium iodide as auxiliary electrolyte.
  • Anode and cathode were made of graphite.
  • the current density was 3.3 A / dm2 and the electrolysis temperature was 25 ° C.
