Description

PROCEDE DE PREPARATION PAR HYDROGENATION DE CATALYSEURS A BASE DE METAL DE TRANSITION ET DE PHOSPHINE PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION BY HYDROGENATION OF CATALYSTS BASED ON TRANSITIONAL METAL AND PHOSPHINE
La présente invention concerne un procédé de préparation, par réduction à l'aide d'hydrogène, de composés pouvant être utilisés comme catalyseurs.The present invention relates to a process for the preparation, by reduction using hydrogen, of compounds which can be used as catalysts.
Les composés visés par le procédé de l'invention comportent au moins un métal de transition au degré d'oxydation 0 ou 1 associé à au moins une phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate.The compounds targeted by the process of the invention comprise at least one transition metal with an oxidation state of 0 or 1 associated with at least one water-soluble phosphine monodentate or bidentate.
De tels composés peuvent être utilisés par exemple comme catalyseurs à ia place des catalyseurs mis en oeuvre dans la réaction d'hydrocyanation de composés éthyléniques, telle que décrite dans le brevet FR-A-2338253. Dans le présent texte, ils seront nommés catalyseurs sans que cela limite leur domaine d'utilisation.Such compounds can be used, for example, as catalysts in place of the catalysts used in the hydrocyanation reaction of ethylenic compounds, as described in patent FR-A-2338253. In the present text, they will be called catalysts without this limiting their field of use.
Outre la synthèse de tels catalyseurs, la présente invention permet leur régénération. En effet, lors de l'utilisation de tels catalyseurs pour l'hydrocyanation de composés éthyléniques, il se produit une oxydation progressive du métal de transition qu'ils contiennent, conduisant ainsi à plus ou moins longue échéance à une désactivation au moins partielle desdits catalyseurs.In addition to the synthesis of such catalysts, the present invention allows their regeneration. In fact, during the use of such catalysts for the hydrocyanation of ethylenic compounds, there occurs a progressive oxidation of the transition metal which they contain, thus leading in the more or less long term to at least partial deactivation of said catalysts .
Le procédé de préparation de catalyseurs, comportant au moins un métal de transition au degré d'oxydation 0 ou 1 associé à au moins une phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate, consiste à traiter par l'hydrogène, en l'absence de monoxyde de carbone, une solution aqueuse contenant au moins un composé d'un métal de transition et au moins une phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate.The process for the preparation of catalysts, comprising at least one transition metal with an oxidation state of 0 or 1 associated with at least one water-soluble phosphine monodentate or bidentate, consists in treating with hydrogen, in the absence of carbon monoxide, an aqueous solution containing at least one transition metal compound and at least one water-soluble monodentate or bidentate phosphine.
L'expression "en l'absence de monoxyde de carbone" signifie que l'on met en oeuvre dans le procédé de l'invention un hydrogène de qualité industrielle, ne contenant éventuellement que des teneurs résiduelles très faibles en monoxyde de carbone, c'est-à-dire habituellement inférieures à 0,01 % en mole par mole, et qu'il n'est ajouté aucune quantité supplémentaire dudit monoxyde de carbone.The expression "in the absence of carbon monoxide" means that an industrial grade hydrogen is used in the process of the invention, possibly containing only very low residual contents of carbon monoxide, ie that is, usually less than 0.01 mol% per mol, and that no additional amount of said carbon monoxide is added.

On peut bien évidemment utiliser un mélange de plusieurs de ces phosphines. Certaines des phosphines hydrosolubles de formule (I) ou (II) sont disponibles dans le commerce. Pour la préparation des autres, on peut se référer aux procédés généraux ou particuliers de synthèse des phosphines décrits dans les ouvrages généraux comme HOUBEN-WEYL, Method der organischen Chemie, organische Phosphor Verbindungen, teil 1 (1963).It is obviously possible to use a mixture of several of these phosphines. Some of the water-soluble phosphines of formula (I) or (II) are commercially available. For the preparation of the others, reference may be made to the general or particular processes for the synthesis of phosphines described in general works such as HOUBEN-WEYL, Method der organischen Chemie, organische Phosphor Verbindungen, teil 1 (1963).
Enfin, pour la préparation des dérivés hydrosolubles non décrits, on peut à partir des phosphines ne comportant pas de substituants hydrosolubles définis précédemment, procéder facilement à l'introduction d'un ou plusieurs de ces substituants hydrophiles. Ainsi les groupements sulfonates par exemple peuvent être introduits par la réaction de SO3 dans l'acide sulfurique. Les groupes carboxylates, phosphonates, ammonium quaternaires peuvent de même être introduits en appliquant les méthodes chimiques connues pour ce type de synthèse.Finally, for the preparation of the water-soluble derivatives not described, it is possible, from phosphines not containing water-soluble substituents defined above, to easily introduce one or more of these hydrophilic substituents. Thus, the sulfonate groups, for example, can be introduced by the reaction of SO3 in sulfuric acid. The carboxylate, phosphonate and quaternary ammonium groups can likewise be introduced by applying the chemical methods known for this type of synthesis.
On utilise de préférence comme composés des métaux de transition des composés du nickel, du cobalt, du fer, du palladium, du platine, du rhodium et de l'iridium, au moins partiellement à un degré d'oxydation différent de 0. On utilise des composés solubles dans l'eau ou capables de passer en solution dans les conditions de la réaction. Le reste lié au métal n'est pas critique, dès l'instant qu'il satisfait à ces conditions.Preferably, as transition metal compounds, compounds of nickel, cobalt, iron, palladium, platinum, rhodium and iridium are used, at least partially at a degree of oxidation different from 0. compounds soluble in water or capable of passing into solution under the conditions of the reaction. The rest linked to the metal is not critical, as long as it satisfies these conditions.
Parmi les composés précités, les composés les plus préférés sont ceux du nickel. On peut citer à titre d'exemples non limitatifs des composés tels que carboxylates de nickel (notamment acétate, formiate, citrate), carbonate de nickel, bicarbonate de nickel, borate de nickel, bromure de nickel, chlorure de nickel, iodure de nickel, thiocyanate de nickel, cyanure de nickel, hydroxyde de nickel, hydrophosphite de nickel, phosphite de nickel, phosphate de nickel et dérivés, nitrate de nickel, sulfate de nickel, sulfite de nickel, aryl- et alkyl-sulfonates de nickel.Among the aforementioned compounds, the most preferred compounds are those of nickel.

Il n'est pas nécessaire que le composé du nickel soit lui même soluble dans l'eau. Par exemple, le cyanure de nickel peu soluble dans l'eau se dissout bien dans une solution aqueuse de phosphine hydrosoluble, notamment sulfonée.The nickel compound need not itself be water soluble. For example, nickel cyanide poorly soluble in water dissolves well in an aqueous solution of water-soluble phosphine, in particular sulfonated.
La réduction par l'hydrogène du composé de métal de transition, en présence d'au moins une phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate, peut être effectuée en phase homogène, éventuellement en présence d'un catalyseur homogène soluble dans le milieu réactionnel ou en phase hétérogène en présence d'un catalyseur insoluble dans le milieu réactionnel.The reduction by hydrogen of the transition metal compound, in the presence of at least one water-soluble phosphine monodentate or bidentate, can be carried out in homogeneous phase, optionally in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst soluble in the reaction medium or in heterogeneous phase in the presence of a catalyst insoluble in the reaction medium.

Comme catalyseur hétérogène, on peut utiliser les différents métaux ou composés de ces métaux, déposés sur un support ou non, qui sont généralement employés en hydrogénation catalytique. Parmi ces métaux, les plus couramment mis en oeuvre sont les métaux du groupe VIII de la Classification périodique des Eléments, telle que publiée dans Haπdbook of chemistry and physics, 51 st Edition (1970-1971) of The Chemical Rubber Co. Parmi les métaux de ce groupe VIII qui conviennent plus particulièrement, on peut citer le platine, le palladium, le ruthénium et le nickel.As heterogeneous catalyst, it is possible to use the various metals or compounds of these metals, deposited on a support or not, which are generally used in catalytic hydrogenation. Among these metals, the most commonly used are the metals of group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements, as published in Haπdbook of chemistry and physics, 51 st Edition (1970-1971) of The Chemical Rubber Co. Among the metals of this group VIII which are more particularly suitable, mention may be made of platinum, palladium, ruthenium and nickel.
Les catalyseurs supportés sont utilisés avantageusement. Les supports sont très variés. Parmi eux, on peut citer non limitativement les alumines, le noir de carbone, les silices, les différents oxydes métalliques comme la cérine, ta zircone, le dioxyde de titane, des sels métalliques comme le carbonate de calcium, le sulfate de baryum. Parmi les catalyseurs hétérogènes non supportés, le nickel de Raney et le cobalt de Raney sont utilisés de préférence.

Among them, non-limiting mention may be made of aluminas, carbon black, silicas, the various metal oxides such as cerine, zirconia, titanium dioxide, metal salts such as calcium carbonate, barium sulphate. Among the unsupported heterogeneous catalysts, Raney nickel and Raney cobalt are preferably used. Raney nickel is particularly suitable.

De préférence, la pression d'hydrogène mesurée à 25°C est de 1 à 150 bars et la température est de 10 "C à 120°C.The catalytic reduction is generally carried out under a hydrogen pressure measured at 25 ° C from 1 to 200 bars and at a temperature from 5 ° C to 200 ° C. Preferably, the hydrogen pressure measured at 25 ° C is from 1 to 150 bars and the temperature is from 10 "C to 120 ° C.
La solution du composé de métal de transition à réduire peut en outre comprendre des composés dont le rôle est de compléter le catalyseur préparé par le procédé de rinvention. Ces composés sont notamment des acides de Lewis. Par acide de Lewis, on entend dans le présent texte, selon la définition usuelle, des composés accepteurs de doublets électroniques. On peut mettre en oeuvre notamment les acides de Lewis cités dans l'ouvrage édité par G.A. OLAH "Friedel-Crafts and related Reactions", tome I, pages 191 à 197 (1963).The solution of the transition metal compound to be reduced may further comprise compounds whose role is to supplement the catalyst prepared by the process of the invention.

Ces composés sont le plus souvent, mais de manière non limitative, des sels, notamment des halogénures, de préférence chlorures et bromures, des sulfates, des nitrates, des sulfonates, notamment des trifluorométhanesulfonates, des carboxylates, des acétyiacétonates, des tétrafluoroborates et des phosphates.The Lewis acids which can be used in the reaction mixture are chosen from the compounds of the elements of groups Ib, llb, lila, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb, Vlb, Vllb and VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements , as published in Handbook of chemistry and physics, 51st Edition (1970-1971) of The Chemical Rubber Co, insofar as said compounds are at least partially soluble and stable in water or more generally in the aqueous solution to be treated . These compounds are most often, but not limited to, salts, especially halides, preferably chlorides and bromides, sulfates, nitrates, sulfonates, especially trifluoromethanesulfonates, carboxylates, acetyiacetonates, tetrafluoroborates and phosphates .
A titre d'exemples non limitatifs de tels acides de Lewis, on peut citer le chlorure de zinc, le bromure de zinc, l'iodure de zinc, le trifluorométhanesutfonate de zinc, l'acétate de zinc, le nitrate de zinc, le tétrafluoroborate de zinc, le chlorure de manganèse, le bromure de manganèse, le chlorure de nickel, le bromure de nickel, le cyanure de nickel, l'acétylacétonate de nickel, le chlorure de cadmium, le bromure de cadmium, le chlorure stanneux, le bromure stanneux, le sulfate stanneux, le tartrate stanneux, les chlorures, bromures, sulfates, nitrates, carboxylates ou trifluorométhane¬ sulfonates des éléments des terres rares comme le lanthane, le cérium, le praséodyme, le néodyme, le samarium, l'europium, le gadoiinium, le terbium, le dysprosium, l'holmium, Perbium, le thulium, l'ytterbium et le lutétium, le chlorure de cobalt, le chlorure ferreux, le chlorure d'yttrium. On peut bien entendu mettre en oeuvre des mélanges de plusieurs acides deBy way of nonlimiting examples of such Lewis acids, mention may be made of zinc chloride, zinc bromide, zinc iodide, zinc trifluoromethanesutfonate, zinc acetate, zinc nitrate, tetrafluoroborate zinc, manganese chloride, manganese bromide, nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel cyanide, nickel acetylacetonate, cadmium chloride, cadmium bromide, stannous chloride, bromide stannous, stannous sulfate, stannous tartrate, chlorides, bromides, sulfates, nitrates, carboxylates or trifluoromethane¬ sulfonates of rare earth elements like lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadoiinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, Perbium, thulium, ytterbium and lutetium, cobalt chloride, ferrous chloride, yttrium chloride. It is of course possible to use mixtures of several acids of
Lewis.Lewis.
Parmi les acides de Lewis qui peuvent être utilisés, on peut citer tout particulièrement le chlorure de zinc, le bromure de zinc, le sulfate de zinc, le tétrafluoroborate de zinc, le chlorure stanneux, le bromure stanneux, les mélanges chlorure de zinc/chlorure stanneux, le chlorure de nickel, le bromure de nickel, l'acétylacétonate de nickel.Among the Lewis acids which can be used, mention may be made most particularly of zinc chloride, zinc bromide, zinc sulfate, zinc tetrafluoroborate, stannous chloride, stannous bromide, zinc chloride / chloride mixtures stannous, nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel acetylacetonate.
L'acide de Lewis mis en oeuvre représente généralement de 0 à 50 moles par mole de composé de métal de transition, plus particulièrement de composé du nickel, et de préférence de 0 à 10 moles par mole. Une variante intéressante du procédé de l'invention consiste à régénérer un catalyseur usé, c'est-à-dire un catalyseur ayant servi et étant devenu au moins partiellement inactif. Ainsi, un catalyseur à base de phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate et d'un métal de transition au degré d'oxydation 0 ou 1 , contenant aussi éventuellement un ou plusieurs acides de Lewis, utilisé dans la réaction d'hydrocyanation du butadiène et/ou de pentène-nitriles se désactive progressivement, en particulier par oxydation du métal de transition. Celui-ci, et plus particulièrement le nickel, est transformé au moins en partie en cyanure. En fin de réaction d'hydrocyanation, la phase aqueuse contenant notamment la phosphine hydrosoluble monodentate ou bidentate et le composé du métal de transition au moins partiellement à un degré d'oxydation supérieur à 0, peut être aisément séparée de la phase organique. Cette phase aqueuse peut contenir des quantités variables de composés initialement introduits comme le butadiène et/ou les pentène-nitriles ou formés en cours de réaction comme l'adiponitrile, le méthyl-glutaronitrile, l'éthyl-succinonitrile, les pentène-nitriles, les méthylbutène-nitriles. La phase aqueuse est traitée comme décrit précédemment afin de régénérer le catalyseur par réduction du métal de transition se trouvant à un degré d'oxydation supérieur à 0.The Lewis acid used generally represents from 0 to 50 moles per mole of transition metal compound, more particularly of nickel compound, and preferably from 0 to 10 moles per mole. An interesting variant of the process of the invention consists in regenerating a spent catalyst, that is to say a catalyst which has been used and which has become at least partially inactive. Thus, a catalyst based on water-soluble phosphine monodentate or bidentate and a transition metal with the oxidation state 0 or 1, optionally also containing one or more Lewis acids, used in the hydrocyanation reaction of butadiene and / or pentene-nitriles is gradually deactivated, in particular by oxidation of the transition metal. This, and more particularly nickel, is transformed at least in part into cyanide. At the end of the hydrocyanation reaction, the aqueous phase containing in particular the water-soluble phosphine monodentate or bidentate and the compound of the transition metal at least partially at a degree of oxidation greater than 0, can be easily separated from the organic phase. This aqueous phase can contain variable amounts of compounds initially introduced such as butadiene and / or pentene-nitriles or formed during the reaction such as adiponitrile, methyl-glutaronitrile, ethyl-succinonitrile, pentene-nitriles, methylbutene-nitriles. The aqueous phase is treated as described above in order to regenerate the catalyst by reduction of the transition metal which is at a degree of oxidation greater than 0.
