Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved process for the production of 2,6- dimethylbenzoquinone (2,6-DMQ).
  • 2,6-DMQ is used for example in the synthesis of Vitamin E.
  • JP 2006-249036 a method for the manufacture of 2,3,5-trimehtlyhydroquinone is disclosed.
  • 2,6-dimethylphenol is oxidised with 0 2 in the presence of a Cu(l) or Cu(ll) compound.
  • the amount of the Cu compound is between 0.01 to 0.02 mol-equivalent (mol-eq). This process still produces significant amounts of side-products.
  • the present invention relates to a process (I) for the production of 2,6- dimethylbenzoquinone, wherein 2,6-dimethylphenol is oxidised by O2 in the presence of at least 0.4 mol-eq, based on the mol of 2,6-dimethylphenol, of at least one copper salt.
  • the increased amount of at least one copper salt leads to a process with an excellent yield and selectivity of 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone. That means that the amount of side products (dimer formation) is surprisingly decreased dramatically.
  • the present invention also relates to a process ( ⁇ ), which is process (I), wherein the at least one copper salt is a Cu(ll) salt. Therefore the present invention also relates to a process (II"), which is process (I), wherein the copper salt is CuC .

  • Preferred is a process, wherein 0.4 to 2 mol-eq, more preferably up to 1 .8 mol-eq, of at least one copper salt is used.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (III), which is process (I), (II), (II') or (II"), wherein the at least one copper salt is used in an amount of at least 0.4 mol-eq, based on the mol of 2,6-dimethylphenol.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (I II'), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ ) or (II"), wherein the at least one copper salt is used in an amount of 0.4 to 2 mol-%, based on the mol of 2,6-dimethylphenol.

  • the copper salt (catalyst) can be reused.
  • the process according to the present invention is usually carried out at a temperature of from 50°C to 95°C, preferably from 60°C to 85°C, more preferably from 70 to 85°C, most preferably from 70 to 80°C.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (IV), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ ), (II"), (III), (III * ) or (III"), wherein the process is carried out at a temperature of from 50°C to 95°C.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (IV), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III') or (III"), wherein the process is carried out at a temperature of from 60°C to 85°C. Therefore the present invention also relates to a process (IV"), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ ), (II"), (III), (III') or (III"), wherein the process is carried out at a temperature of from 70 to 85°C.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (IV"), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III') or (III"), wherein the process is carried out at a temperature of from 70 to 80°C.
  • the process according to the present invention is usually carried out in an inert sol- vent (or mixture of solvents), the solvent can be non-polar or polar.
  • the solvent (or the mixture of solvents) has to be liquid at the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure) of the process according to the present invention.
  • Suitable solvents are alkylene carbonates and glycol ethers.
  • Preferred solvents are ethylene carbonates and methyl diethylene glycol (MDG).
  • the present invention also relates to a process (V), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III'), (III"), (IV), (IV), (IV") or (IV"), wherein the process is carried out in an inert solvent (or mixture of solvents). Therefore the present invention also relates to a process (V), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III'), (III"), (IV), (IV), (IV”) or (IV"), wherein the process is carried out at in at least one solvent chosen from the group consisting of alkylene carbonates and glycol ethers.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (V"), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III'), (III"), (IV), (IV), (IV") or (IV"), wherein the process is carried out at in at least one solvent chosen from the group consisting of ethylene carbonates and methyl diethylene glycol (MDG).
  • the oxidation process according to the present invention can be carried out with pure O2 gas as well as with a gas mixture containing O2 gas (such as air). Preferred is pure 0 2 gas.
  • the present invention also relates to a process (VI), which is process (I), (II), ( ⁇ '), (II"), (III), (III'), (III"), (IV), (IV), (IV"), (IV"), (V), (V) or (V), wherein the process is carried with gas mixture containing O 2 gas. Therefore the present invention also relates to a process (VI'), which is process (VI), wherein the gas is air.

  • the so obtained 2,6-DMQ can be isolated using commonly known methods or it can be used without isolation for further reactions.
  • 2,6-DMQ can be used as starting material in organic synthesis.
  • 2,6- DMQ can be used to form 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ), which is then reacted with (all-rac)-isophytol to obtain (all-rac)-a-tocopherol.
  • TMHQ 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone
  • Example 1 A solution of 4.10 g of CuC1 ⁇ 2 x 2H 2 0 in 8.4 ml of methyl diethyl glycol (MDG) was added into a flask. The solution was heated to 75°C and O2 was introduced (30 ml/min) into the solution and the solution was stirred.
  • MDG methyl diethyl glycol
  • the amount of CUCI2 x 2H 2 0 was 1 .2 mol-eq (in regard to the starting material). After the addition of the 2,6-DMP, the reaction mixture was stirred for another hour. Afterwards the obtained product (2,6-DMQ) was isolated.
  • the yield was 81 % and the conversion was >99.9% and the selectivity was 81 %.
  • Example 2 The procedure as described in Example 1 was repeated, but the O2 flow was in- creased to 60 ml/min.
  • the yield was 84% and the conversion was >99.9 % and the selectivity was 84%.
  • Example 3 Comparison Example The procedure as described in Example 1 was repeated, but the amount of CuC x 2H 2 0 was reduced to 0.68 g. which are 0.2 mol-eq.
  • the yield was 49% and the conversion was >99.9 % and the selectivity was 49%. It can be seen that a low amount of CuCI 2 x 2H 2 O results in lower selectivity.
