Abstract

A copper acetylide catalyst, for use in the reaction between acetylene and formaldehyde to form 2-butyne-1:4-diol, is prepared by mixing a solution of a copper salt and a solution of an alkali metal silicate to precipitate a copper silicate material containing 15-60 per cent by weight of copper and then treating this material with acetylene. Before treatment with acetylene the copper silicate may be washed and dried and broken into granules, or it may be extruded into rods or pelletted; to increase the copper content, the copper silicate may be impregnated with a solution of a copper salt and ignited. The copper silicate may be suspended in water and treated with acetylene, or it may be suspended in aqueous formaldehyde and treated with acetylene in situ in the reactor at above 60 DEG C. A "cuprene inhibitor" such as bismuth may be included in the catalyst; inert materials, such as kaolin, may also be added. In examples, catalysts are prepared starting from copper nitrate, water glass, and bismuth nitrate.ALSO:2 - Butyne - 1 : 4 - diol is prepared by reaction between acetylene and formaldehyde in the presence of a copper acetylide catalyst prepared by mixing a solution of a copper salt and a solution of an alkali metal silicate to precipitate a copper silicate material containing 15-60 per cent by weight of copper and then treating this material with acetylene (see Group III). The catalyst may also contain a "cuprene inhibitor" such as bismuth and an inert material such as kaolin. In an example, acetylene is admitted at 20 atmospheres pressure and 80 DEG or 100 DEG C. to an autoclave containing the catalyst and a formaldehyde solution. The product contains propargyl alcohol in addition to 2-butyne-1 : 4-diol.
