Definitions
- the present application relates to a process for the preparation of ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine.
- Triethylamine is used as a raw material for the production of surfactants, textile and flotation aids, bactericides, corrosion and foam inhibitors, additives for pharmaceuticals and as antioxidants for fats and oils.
- the amine mentioned can be prepared by the hydrogenation of corresponding nitriles or nitro compounds, by the reductive amination of corresponding aldehydes and ketones and by the amination of corresponding alcohols. In particular, it is produced on an industrial scale by the amination of the corresponding alcohol or the corresponding carbonyl compound over metal catalysts, which are optionally supported, under hydrogenating conditions.
- Ethyldimethylamine is also an important large-scale product. It is mainly used in the foundry industry, in the so-called cold box ner driving. Small amounts are used in the pharmaceutical industry.
- aldehydes, ketones and nitriles and also of alcohols, in this case ethanol as the starting material for the production of alkylamines is in principle uneconomical compared to the use of the corresponding olefin, i.e. ethene, due to the prices of the starting materials.
- US-A-4,336,162 and US-A-4,302,603 describe an approach to this problem by switching to the Rb and Cs amides or by using a eutectic of NaNH 2 and KNH 2 .
- the technical implementation is forbidden because of the extremely high catalyst price
- the space-time yields of the desired alkylamines are still too small.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process with which ethyldimethylamine and trimethylamine can be produced in one process, the desired amounts of ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine being able to be controlled.
- the inventive method allows the production of ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine in a process in which a co-production of ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine is carried out, it being possible to produce these amines in a single process using simple process steps. Since ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine can easily be separated from one another and from diethylamine or a diethylamine / dimethylamine mixture by distillation, the process according to the invention is advantageous over the separate production of the two amines. Diethylamine and dimethylamine are used as starting materials for the reaction.
- ethylene is reacted with diethylamine and dimethylamine under hydroaminating conditions.
- the addition of ethylene to the respective amine produces triethylamine and ethyldimethylamine.
- the relative amount of ethylene (partial pressure) and the amount of amines allow the distribution of the resulting products to be controlled.
- Dimethylamine reacts with ethylene to a more stable product than diethylamine.
- the amount of dimethylamine present then completely or almost completely reacts with ethylene before triethylamine is formed.
- the product composition of the mixture obtained can thus be controlled in a simple manner via the composition of the starting material mixture, a deficit in ethylene causing an incomplete conversion of diethylamine.
- the process according to the invention is intended to produce product mixtures which, in addition to the products ethyldimethylamine and triethylamine and any by-products which may be present, no longer contain diethylamine, an excess of ethylene is used in the hydroamination reaction. If a certain proportion of diethylamine is to be retained, a substoichiometric amount of ethylene is used.
- the hydroamination according to the present invention is carried out in such a way that the amine from which the preferred alkylamine is produced is used in excess over the other starting material.
- the starting materials diethylamine and dimethylamine are preferably used in a ratio of (8 to 15): 1, in particular in a ratio of 10: 1, so that triethylamine and ethyldimethylamine are also obtained in such a ratio , This usually corresponds to market demand.
- the ratios of diethylamine and diethylamine to be used can, however, be flexibly adapted to the needs of the respective products, which is a further advantage of the process according to the invention.
- a significant excess of ethylene is preferably also added.
- the hydroamination according to the invention using diethylamine and dimethylamine is preferably carried out in one reaction step, the product distribution being set as set out above using the starting materials.
- the hydroamination according to the invention is carried out using an alkali metal hydride or amides of the alkali metals as a catalyst.

- the most preferred hydride is NaH.
- the amides used according to the invention are diethylamide, dimethylamide and or ethylmethylamide. Diethylamide or dimethylamide or a mixture of the two is preferably used in any desired ratio. Na-diethylamide, Na-dimethylamide or mixtures thereof are particularly preferred.
- the metal amides can be used as such, for example in the form of a solution, in the reaction according to the invention, it being possible for the metal amides to come from any source.

It is of course also possible to use pre-cleaned alkali metal which does not contain the impurities mentioned or only in traces. However, technical alkali metal is generally preferred for reasons of cost. All alkali metals can be used, preferably Li, Na or K are used, more preferred are Na or K, especially Na. If appropriate, mixtures of the alkali metals can also be used.
