Abstract

2-cyano, 6 sulphonic acid or sulphonic ester or 6-phosphonic acid or phosphonic ester derivatives of analine are prepared by reaction of a vinyl sulphonate or vinyl phosphonate and an (optionally substituted) 2-amino-3-cyanofuran followed by dehydration of the product formed. The compounds are useful as intermediates in the preparation of diazo components for the manufacture of anionic dyestuffs.

Description

SPECIFICATION Process for the preparation of cyanoanilines This invention relates to a process for the preparation of cyanoanilines, and in particular to a process for the preparation of cyanoanilines containing a sulphonic acid or sulphonic ester group or a phosphonic acid or phosphonic ester group.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of 2cyano, 6-sulphonic acid or sulphonic ester or 6-phosphonic acid or phosphonic ester derivatives of anilines which comprises reacting a 2amino-3-cyanofuran of formula:
with a vinyl sulphonate ester or a vinyl phosphonate or phosphonate ester of formula: CH2 ----- CHX (II) wherein R, and R2 may be hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group and X is a sulphonate or a sulphonate ester group or is a phosphonate or phosphonate ester group, and dehydrating the intermediate product formed.
R, and R2, which may be the same or different, may be hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group for example an (optionally substituted) alkyl group, an (optionally substituted) aryl group, a carboxylic acid group, a carboxylic ester group or a cyano group. The furan starting material may be readily prepared by known methods, for example by the reaction of malonitrile with the appropriately substituted alpha hydroxy ketone.
When the group X is sulphonic or phosphonic ester, it is suitable an alkyl or aryl ester, for example an ester (or bis-ester) of an alkyl group containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
Whilst the scope of the present invention is not to be taken as being limited by any particular theory, the initial product of the reaction is believed to be a hydroxy compound of formula:
which is dehydrated to give the desired product. The intermediate product may be isolated if desired, by the dehydration conventiently takes place in situ.
The reaction may take place in a solvent or in the absence of a solvent. Suitable solvents are oxygen-containing solvents, including ethers, for example dimethoxyethane or dioxan.
The optimum reaction temperature depends upon the reactants and the conditions employed, but will in general be in the range from 60"C to 1 50 C. For example, in the reaction of a furan with a vinyl phosphonate in the absence of a solvent, a reaction temperature of from 85"C to 1 50 C, for example from 11 0,C to 1 50 C is conveniently employed. A reaction which takes place in a solvent such as dimethoxyethane conveniently takes place close to the boiling point of the solvent, i.e. 70"C to 80"C. A reaction time of from + to 24 hours may be required.
Dehydration of the intermediate compound may take place in the presence of water, or preferably in an acid, for example a dilute mineral acid and/or glacial acetic acid. Thus the reaction mixture may be added directly to the acid, whereupon the desired product precipitates and may be recovered. Alternatively, the reaction mixture may be added to water and dehydration of the precipitate completed by addition to dilute acid.
It is not essential to employ a catalyst for the reaction, but a catalyst, for example a Lewis acid, may be used if desired.
The proportions of the reactants are not critical and may be essentially stoichiometric.
A slight excess of vinyl sulphonate or phosphonate over the furan may assist the subsequent isolation of the desired product, for example from 1.05 to 5 moles of vinyl sulphonate or phosphonate per mole of furan may be used.
The reaction suitably takes place under atmospheric conditions of pressure.
It is an advantage of the process of the present invention that the reaction is substantially specific for the formation of the 2-cyano, 6-sulphonic acid or ester or 6-phosphonic acid or ester derivative of aniline.
The compounds of the present invention are useful as intermediates in the formation of diazo components, for example in the manufacture of anionic dyestuffs.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examplres in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise stated.
Example 1 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-dimethylfuran (2.72 g) was added in portions over a period of 10 hours to vinyl phosphonic acid, bis-(beta-chloroethyl)ester(CH2 = CH-PO(OCH2CH2C1)2), which was maintained at a temperature of 1 1 0 C. The resultant brown oil was stirred with glacial acetic acid (25 ml) and dilute sulphuric acid (2 ml) for 1 hour. The product was extracted into chloroform, and the organic layer was washed with water and dried over magnesium sulphate. The solvent was removed to give the bis(beta chloroethyl) ester of 2-cyano-aniline-6-phosphonic acid (melting point 82"C) in 65% yield.
Example 2.
The product of Example 1 was stirred with 32% sodium hydroxide solution for 30 minutes, and then acidified. The solid product was filtered to give 2-cyanoaniline-6-phosphonic acid (melting point 210"C ) in 70% yield.
Example 3 2-Amino-3-cyano-4, 5-diemethylfuran (6.8 g) was added to a refluxing solution of methylvinylsulphonate (6.1 g) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane over a period of 5 hours. After a further hour, the solvent was removed and the residue added to glacial acetic acid (50 ml) containing sulphuric acid (4 ml). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and the solid product filtered and dried. The product was the methyl ester of 2-cyanoaniline-6-sulphonic acid (melting point 148-149"C), which was obtained in 75% yield.
Example 4 The product of Example 3 was suspended in water and treated with hot sodium hydroxide for 5 minutes. After acidification, the solid product was filtered to give a yield of 60%.
The product was 2-cyanoaniline-6-sulphonic acid (melting point: decomposes above 1 28 C).
