Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of dibenzylamine from benzaldehyde and ammonia with catalytic hydrogenation.
  • Dibenzylamine does not form a carcinogenic nitrosamine and can be used as a starting compound for the production of the vulcanization accelerator tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide, which also forms only non-volatile nitrosamines remaining in the rubber.
  • the manufacture and use of this vulcanization accelerator is therefore largely harmless to health.
  • Dibenzylamine is specifically produced by hydrogenating benzonitrile with Pt catalysts (US Pat. No. 3,923,891). Further synthesis proposals for dibenzylamine start from benzylamine (Synthesis (1), 70 (1979); J. Organomet. Che. 208 (2), 249 (1981); Chem. Lett. (6), 889 (1984); Ind. J. Technol. 23 (7), 266 (1985)). Furthermore, dibenzylamine is obtained as a by-product in the technical synthesis of benzylamine starting from benzaldehyde by reaction with ammonia with catalytic hydrogenation with Raney nickel (Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 4th edition, Vol. 8, 440):
  • Dibenzylamine is thus formed via the stage of monobenzylamine and N-benzylbenzylidenimine and can be separated from the reaction mixture by fractionation.
  • the reaction mixture may also have tribenzylamine as the secondary product and benzyl alcohol and toluene as the reduction products of the benzaldehyde.
  • 500 kg of benzaldehyde (4.72 mol) and 110 kg of ammonia (6.47 mol), i.e. with a stoichiometric excess of ammonia become a mixture of 470 kg at 100 ° C. in the reaction
  • Monobenzylamine, 2 kg of benzylbenzylidenimine, 1 kg of dibenzylamine and 1 kg of benzyl alcohol were obtained.
  • This object is achieved by a process for the preparation of dibenzylamine by reacting benzaldehyde and ammonia in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst in an inert organic solvent, characterized in that the reaction with an ammonia content> 0.5 mol per mol of benzaldehyde and with a hydrogenation catalyst containing a platinum metal and / or an iron metal is carried out.
  • DE-A-21 18 283 which relates to the production of secondary or tertiary aliphatic amines by reacting aliphatic carbonyl compounds and an amine or ammonia with catalytic hydrogenation, does indeed describe excess ammonia.
  • this document specifies process conditions and also start connections which differ significantly from the present invention, the content of DE-A 21 18 283 in no way suggested the latter.
  • reaction according to DE-A-21 18 283 takes place at very high temperatures of at least 130 ° C. (180 to 200 ° C. in the case of the only experimental example 15 relating to the use of ammonia; in contrast, according to the invention, preferably below 100 ° C.
  • the ammonia excess is essential to the invention.
  • the selectivities for the dibenzylamine continue to increase, accompanied by a surprisingly strong suppression of the known, very easy direct hydrogenation of the benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol and by a suppression of the formation of tribenzylamine with a slightly increased formation of monobenzylamine, in fact especially when using non-sulfided catalysts.
  • the sulfided catalysts advantageously suppress the formation of benzyl alcohol and toluene much more anyway, but this is associated with an increase in the amounts of tribenzylamine.
  • the process according to the invention is therefore preferably carried out with an ammonia content in the range from 0.8 to 4 mol and particularly preferably from 1 to 3 mol per mol of benzaldehyde.
  • the process according to the invention is advantageously carried out at low temperatures of at most 100 ° C., preferably in the range from 40 to 90 ° C. and particularly preferably from 60 to 90 ° C.
  • the dibenzylamine selectivity drops at higher temperatures, apparently as a result of U alkylation.
  • the formation of benzyl alcohol increases sharply with lower temperatures.
  • the platinum metals contained in the hydrogenation catalyst according to the invention are the elements of atomic numbers 44 to 46 and 76 to 78 of the periodic table, preferably ruthenium, palladium and platinum, and the elements of atomic numbers 26 to 28, preferably cobalt and nickel, are to be understood as iron metals.
  • the platinum metals in their sulfided form can be used particularly advantageously.
  • the amount of catalyst required for the process according to the invention is surprisingly small: at most 0.5% by weight and preferably at most 0.2% by weight of platinum metal or iron metal, based on the amount of benzaldehyde used, is required.
  • the known coarse-surface substances such as substances containing activated carbon, aluminum oxide and aluminum oxide, and substances containing silica, silicates and silicates, such as silica gel, kieselguhr, kaolin, talc and clays, preferably activated carbon, aluminum oxide, silica gel and kieselguhr, are suitable as supports for the hydrogenation catalyst.
  • the process according to the invention is preferably carried out with a palladium on a hydrogenation catalyst containing carbon support.
  • the dibenzylamine selectivity can be increased in the process according to the invention.
  • Suitable inert organic solvents according to the invention are, in particular, those liquids which are customary in the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds and in which the ammonia can be dissolved and a homogeneous liquid phase of the reaction mixture is formed.
  • Such liquids can be water, water-miscible alcohols, preferably methanol, and water-miscible ethers such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol methyl ether or ethylene glycol diethyl ether.
  • the execution of the method according to the invention is very simple.
  • a simple Metal autoclaves which is equipped with a gas turbine, floor drain, heating device and stirrer.
  • the latter is filled with the benzaldehyde, very small amounts of supported catalyst and a solution with ammonia, and hydrogen is applied until no more hydrogen is taken up at the reaction temperature, the reaction times advantageously being only 10 to 45 minutes.
  • After draining the reaction mixture and filtering off the catalyst it can then be separated in a simple manner by stripping off the solvent and subsequent fractional distillation (cf. Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 4th edition, vol. 8, p. 440).
  • it is generally sufficient to distill off the solvent and the majority of the lower-boiling constituents of the reaction mixture, after which no further purification step is then required.
  • a particular advantage lies in the ease with which the catalyst used according to the invention is supported and can be regenerated compared to the prior art using Raney nickel.
  • the process according to the invention thus provides an economical process for the preparation of dibenzylamine with high selectivity. It can also be carried out continuously.
  • composition of this crude product was determined by means of gas chromatography.
  • compositions were determined (in addition to small amounts of other by-products):
  • DBA dibenzylamine
  • TBA tribenzylamine
  • BOH benzyl alcohol
  • Example 6 The procedure was as in Example 1, but instead of the catalyst used there, a sulfided palladium catalyst, type ElOl RS / W from Degussa (5% Pd on carbon) (Examples 5 and 7) or type Escat (reduced) Engelhardt (5% Pd on coal) (Example 6) used. Furthermore, the amount of ammonia in Example 6 was 3.4 g (1.0 mol of NH 3 per mol of BA) and in Example 7 5.1 g (1.5 mol of NH 3 per mol of BA).
  • Example 7 The procedure was as in Example 7, but not at a reaction temperature of 70 ° C, but at 50 ° C (Example 8) and at 90 ° C (Example 9). The results were products with a composition (area%) of 70.0 DBA - 0.2 TBA - 29.5 BOH (Example 8) and 11.6 MBA - 84.7 DBA - 1.7 TBA (Example 9).
  • Example 12 The procedure was as in Example 1, but with 5.1 g of ammonia and instead of the catalyst used there, a platinum catalyst (not sulfided), type F101B from Degussa (5% Pt on carbon) (Example 10), a sulfided Platinum catalyst, type F101RSH from Degussa (5% Pt on carbon) (example 11) and a ruthenium catalyst (not sulfided), type H 101 BW from Degussa (5% Ru on carbon) (example 12) used.
  • a platinum catalyst not sulfided
  • type F101B from Degussa (5% Pt on carbon)
  • Example 11 a sulfided Platinum catalyst
  • type F101RSH from Degussa
  • ruthenium catalyst not sulfided
  • type H 101 BW from Degussa (5% Ru on carbon)
  • This example describes the use of a unsupported catalyst.
