Abstract

A method for the production of N- cyclohexyl-benzothiazole-2- sulfenamide in which 2- mercaptobenzothiazole reacts with an excess of cyclohexylamine and the resulting cyclohexylamine salt of 2- mercaptobenzothiazole is then oxidized with an oxidant such as sodium hypochlorite at a temperature in the range of 20 to 70 DEG C. 2-mercaptobenzothiazole may be used in the form of the crude product formed by a high-pressure reaction of aniline, carbon disulphide and sulphur. N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2- sulfenamide may be employed as an accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber.

Description

SPECIFICATION Method for the Production of N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide This invention relates to a method for the production of N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2sulfenamide by a reaction of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, cyclohexylamine and oxidant. Ncyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide is used as a fast safe accelerator in rubber vulcanization.
N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide is usually produced by the oxidation of the cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole with a sodium hypochlorite solution or hydrogen peroxide:
The cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole may be prepared from sodium, calcium or ammonium salts. The 2-mercaptobenzothiazole appears during the refining of the crude melt of 2mercaptobenzothiazole.
The process of preparation from the sodium salt has been described, for instance, in Czechoslovak Patent Specification No. 114 693, in USA Patent Specifications 2 191 657, 2 268 467, 2 762 814, in German Patent Specifications 855 564 and /DAS/ No. 1 940 364, in British Patent Specifications 642 597, 665 668,1 106 577; the process involving calcium salt has been described in Czechoslovak Patent Specification 11 3 006, in Federal Republic of Germany /DAS/ Patent Specification 1 940 364, and the process from an ammonium salt has been described in Czechoslovak Authorized Certificate 1 84 052.
The principle of all these processes is the same. To an aqueous solution of the appropriate salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole the appropriate quantity of cyclohexylamine is added and the solution or suspension of the cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is oxidized with the appropriate oxidant. There are a number of documents that protect the preparation of sulfenamides directly from the amine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, such as: USA Patent Specifications 2 339 002, 2 772 279, 3 144 652, British Patent Specifications 452 044, 655 668, 106 577, 519 61 7 1 289 407, German Patent Specifications 615 580, 2 056 80, Federal Republic of Germany /DAS/ 2 056 762, French Patent Specifications 852 11 8, 950 693, 1 549 002 and Japanese application's 74110664,7413467.
The above mentioned processes possess considerable shortcomings in many cases. The inorganic aikalies used are transferred in the form of salts into waste liquors; if using the calcium salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole polluted calcium sludge is formed and the product must be purified by acid washing to eliminate all insoluble calcium compounds. If the process with ammonium salt is used, the requirements for production equipment increase. The sulfenamides prepared from the sodium and calcium salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole usually do not reach the required grades and, therefore, they must be purified /for instance, French Patent Specification 2 056 749, FRG (DAS) No. 1 940 365, British Patent Specification 756 464, USA Patent Specification 276 281 4/, which results in higher losses and volumes of waste liquors.
It has now been found that a high-grade N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide may be prepared by the reaction of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, cyclohexylamines and oxidant according to this invention.
Thus, the present invention provides a method for the production of N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole2-sulfenamide by the reaction of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, cyclohexylamine and oxidant in which 2mercaptobenzothiazole is reacted with an excess of cyclohexylamine and the resulting cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is oxidized at a temperature in the range of 20 to 700 C. Preferably, 1.5 to 5 moles and advantageously 2.5 moles of cyclohexylamine are present per 1 mole of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. Desirably, the oxidant is sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide and the temperature of oxidation of the order of 450C. The oxidation by-products may be separated by filtration. The 2-mercaptobenzothiazole may enter the reaction as the crude product originating at a high-pressure reaction of aniline, carbon disulphide and sulphur.This product is either free from volatile components (due to treatment with an inert gas) or is used without prior purification.
Production according to the invention gives high yields and purity of the Ncyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide, the process being simplfied to a maximum and the preparation of the cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and its oxidation are performed in one stage.
Another advantage of the new process of production consists in a considerable reduction of waste and waste liquors which has great importance with respect to ecology.
The following examples illustrate, but do not restrict the production of Ncyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide according to this invention.
Example 1 Into a 500 ml four-neck flask fitted with a high-speed stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux condenser and a funnel 118.8 g /0.6 moles/ of 50% cyclohexylamine and 34.8 g of 96% commercial grade 2mercaptobenzothiazole (0.2 moles) were added. The charge was heated during stirring to a temperature of 850C and a solution of the cyclohexylamine salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazol was produced; this product was cooled to 450C. Over a period of 60 minutes 110 ml of sodium hypochlorite (16.7 g Cl+/100 ml) were added by means of a separating funnel. The temperature was kept by slight cooling within a range from 42 to 450C. After addition of about three quarters of the volume of sodium hypochlorite a crystalline product precipitated.The reaction was completed and the product was cooled to 200 C. The crystalline product was then separated by filtration, washed with 100 ml of 10% cyclohexylamine, followed by washing with 700 ml of water. The wet cake was dried to a constant weight. The yield was 48.2 g, i.e. 91.2% calculated for N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2sulfenamide.
Melting point: 101.5--102"C Sulfenamides: 99.7% by weight Insoluble residue: 0.14% by weight Mother liquors and the first portions after washing with water (system of two phases) were pooled and distilled at a normal pressure of 0.1 MPa. Thus, 94.4 g of an aseotropic mixture of cyclohexylamine and water was produced and after addition of fresh cyclohexylamine it was recycled back into the process. The yield of the product calculated for the initial cyclohexylamine represents 94.2% of the theoretical value.

Example 5 The method of preparation was similar to that in Example 1, but the temperature during the addition of the sodium hypochlorite solution was 700 C. The yield was 42.6 g of product (80.55% by theory), which melts at 101.5-1 020C, 99.5% by weight of sulfenamides and 0.1 5% by weight of insoluble residues.
Example 6 The method of preparation was similar to that in Example 1, but 36.3 g of 92.0% crude product of a high-pressure reaction of aniline, carbon disulphide and sulphur was used. The yield was 48.0 g of the product which represents 90.8% of the theoretical value, with a melting point of 101--1 03.50C.
99.3% by weight of sulfenamides, and 0.14% by weight of insoluble residues.
Example 7 The preparation process was similar to that in Example 1, but 38.8 g of 86.3% crude product of the high-pressure reaction of aniline, carbon disulphide and sulphur was used. The yield was 46.4 g of the product (87.7% by theory), with a melting point of 100--1020C, 98.8% by weight of sulfenamides and 0.15% by weight of insoluble residues.
Example 8 The preparation process was similar to that in Example 1, but 102.5 ml (16.7 g Cl+/1 00 ml) of sodium hypochlorite was used. The yield was 45.3 g which represents 85.7% of the theoretical value, with 99.8% by weight of sulfenamides and 0.17% by weight of insoluble residues. Melting point: 100--1010C.
