Abstract

Carboxylic acid esters are produced by the interaction of olefinic hydrocarbons with carbon monoxide and aliphatic alcohols in a liquid medium in which is dissolved as catalyst a complex cobalt or nickel cyanide of the general formula [NX4]2[Me(CN)4] in which Me is cobalt or nickel and in which at least one, preferably three, of the four X's stands for an alkyl radical, the other(s) being hydrogen, or in the presence of a cobalt or nickel carbonyl in combination with alkali metal or ammonium cyanides. Suitable catalysts are, for example, triethyl ammonium nickel cyanide, trimethyl butyl ammonium nickel cyanide, tetraethyl ammonium nickel cyanide, triethyl butyl ammonium nickel cyanide and the corresponding cobalt cyanides. A mixture of the components of the complex cyanides may be used, e.g. a mixture of triethyl amine or any other trialkyl amine, hydrogen cyanide and nickel carbonyl which will form triethyl ammonium nickel cyanide. Suitable carbonyls for use in combination with the alkali metal or ammonium cyanide are for example, nickel carbonyl and triaryl phosphine substituted nickel carbonyls. Best results are obtained with catalysts in which the ratio between the numbers of cobalt or nickel ions and of the cyanide anions is at least 1 : 4. Preferred temperatures are between 80 DEG and 200 DEG C. and pressures above 50 atmospheres are used. The preferred olefin is ethylene used in an amount equal in volume to that of the carbon monoxide. In the examples: (a) a mixture of methanol, nickel carbonyl, potassium cyanide and water is treated with a mixture of ethylene and carbon monoxide to give mainly methyl propionate with some propionyl propionic acid methyl ester, diketo-pelargonic acid methyl ester, esters of higher polyketo-carboxylic acids and diethyl ketone; (b) a solution of nickel carbonyl and potassium cyanide in methyl propionate, methanol and water are treated with ethylene and carbon monoxide to give additional methyl propionate, propionyl propionic acid methyl ester, esters of higher polyketocarboxylic acids and a small amount of diethyl ketone; (c) potassium cyanide and nickel carbonate are dissolved in ethanol and water and the solution is treated with ethylene and carbon monoxide to give ethyl propionate, propionyl propionic acid ethyl ester and esters of higher polyketo-carboxylic acids; (d) a mixture of di-(triethyl-ammonium) nickel tetracyanide, [(C2H5)3NH]2.Ni(CN)4, methanol and water is treated with ethylene and carbon monoxide to give methyl propionate, propionyl propionic acid methyl ester, diketopelargonic acid methyl ester and esters of higher polyketo-carboxylic acids.
