【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、各種工業原料、特に染料、顔料、樹脂(液晶ポリマー等)などの原料として有用な6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を防止する方法に関し、より詳細には、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の合成反応終了後の反応粗液の保管時や処理時における6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を防止する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸は、通常、コルベ・シュミット反応により得られる6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸塩を含む反応粗液を、抽出処理、脱色処理、酸析処理(酸を用いた析出処理)により粗精製し、この粗精製により得られた6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の粗精製物(粗6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸)を、さらに、精製することにより[例えば、溶媒(例えば、水や、水/アルコール系溶剤等の水性媒体など)を用いて再結晶して精製することにより]、製品化されている(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、反応粗液を得た後の取扱中に顕著な着色が生じてしまい、この着色により、活性炭等を用いた脱色処理を行っても十分に脱色させることができず、製品化された6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色が残存してしまうことが問題となっている。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
国際公開公報WO01/14307
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を効果的に抑制または防止することができる方法を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記目的を達成するため鋭意検討した結果、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸を合成するための反応により得られた反応粗液を、特定の環境下で取り扱うことにより、製品化された6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を効果的に抑制または防止することができることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
【0006】
すなわち、本発明は、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液の保管時及び/又は処理時における6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を防止する方法であって、前記保管時及び処理時の期間のうち少なくとも1部の期間を、不活性ガスの雰囲気下とすることを特徴とする6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色防止方法を提供する。
【0007】
本発明では、不活性ガスの雰囲気下とする期間としては、少なくとも、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液が40℃以上の温度に曝される期間であることが好ましい。前記6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液としては、コルベ・シュミット反応を利用した反応により得られた反応混合液を好適に用いることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色防止方法では、保管時及び処理時の期間のうち少なくとも1部の期間を、不活性ガスの雰囲気下としている。すなわち、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液の保管及び処理のうち少なくとも1部の工程を、不活性ガスの雰囲気下で行っている。このように、反応粗液の保管や処理に際して、その環境を不活性ガスの雰囲気下に維持しているので、該保管や処理時の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の分解を効果的に抑制または防止することができ、そのため、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を効果的に抑制または防止することができる。しかも、精製工程における脱色操作の負荷を軽減することができる。例えば、脱色時の脱色剤(活性炭など)の使用量を低減することができる。
【0009】
6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液としては、公知の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の生成反応(製造方法)により得られる反応粗液(反応終了後の反応混合液)であれば特に制限されない。
【0010】
本発明は6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色防止方法に関しており、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の生成反応(製造方法)は特に制限されない。なお、公知の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の生成反応としては、一般的には、米国特許第1593816号明細書や、特開昭57−95939号公報に記載のようなコルベ・シュミット反応を利用した生成反応を用いることができるが、特開2002−128725号公報に記載の生成反応、特開2002−302465号公報に記載の生成反応、特表平5−503299号公報に記載の生成反応、特開平2−124847号公報に記載の生成反応、Bull.Chem.Soc.Jpn.,75,619−622(2002)に記載の生成反応なども利用することができる。前記コルベ・シュミット反応を利用した反応により得られた6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸を含む反応混合液(反応粗液)は、通常、不純物として、3−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸、2−ヒドロキシ−1−ナフトエ酸、3−ヒドロキシナフタレン−2,7−ジカルボン酸、未反応の2−ナフトール(β−ナフトール)又はその誘導体(カリウム塩やナトリウム塩等)などを含有している。
【0011】
本発明では、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液としては、コルベ・シュミット反応を利用した反応により得られた反応混合液(反応粗液)を好適に用いることができる。このようなコルベ・シュミット反応を利用した生成反応では、2−ナフトール又はその誘導体(2−ナフトールのカリウム塩やナトリウム塩など)を原料としており、該コルベ・シュミット反応を利用して得られる反応終了直後の反応粗液の温度は、通常、200〜300℃程度である。この反応粗液は、保管した後、または保管せずに、その後の処理に供することができる。
【0012】
反応粗液の処理としては、特に制限されず、例えば、酸析処理、抽出処理、脱色処理、分離処理、乾燥処理などの各種処理が挙げられる。具体的には、例えば、前記反応粗液に、所定量の水を添加し、酸(硫酸や塩酸など)を用いて、pHを6.5〜8.0に調整し(調節し)、未反応の2−ナフトール又はその誘導体を2−ナフトールとして遊離させる(中和処理;約pH7に調整)。この段階で、反応粗液の温度は、通常、50〜100℃まで低下している。さらに、この前後のいずれかで、反応媒体と水層とを分離した後、水層を疎水性溶媒によって抽出し、2−ナフトールを分離することにより、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸を粗精製することができる(抽出処理)。この抽出工程での温度は、通常、20〜100℃である。なお、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸は、疎水性溶媒によって2−ナフトールを抽出した後の水層に含まれている。さらに、2−ナフトールを抽出した後の水層を、通常、20〜100℃で、活性炭等の脱色剤を用いて脱色処理を行っている。その後、脱色を行った後の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の粗精製液に、硫酸等の酸を加えて酸析処理を行い、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸を析出させる。得られた6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の粗結晶を水で洗浄して、さらに晶析により精製を行った後に、常套の方法により乾燥させて精製された6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の製品を得ることができる。
【0013】
本発明の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色防止方法は、前述のような反応粗液の処理時や、該処理前又は処理後の保管時に適用することができ、特に、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の分解は高温(例えば、40℃以上)で進行し易くなるので、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液(又はその粗精製物)が40℃以上の温度に曝される保管時や処理時に好適に適用することができる。従って、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液の保管時又は処理時における不活性ガスの雰囲気下とする期間としては、反応終了後のすべての期間であることが好ましいが、少なくとも、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液(又はその粗精製物)が40℃以上の温度に曝される期間であることが特に好適である。なお、反応終了後のすべての期間としては、例えば、反応終了後から6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸を製品とするまでの期間であってもよく、反応終了後から6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の製品を使用するまでの期間であってもよい。また、反応粗液の保管としては、反応粗液を処理する前の保管のみならず、反応粗液に各種処理を行った後の保管も意味している。
【0014】
不活性ガス(不活性な気体)としては、特に制限されず、例えば、窒素、ヘリウム、アルゴンなどが挙げられる。不活性ガスとしては、コスト等の点から、窒素を好適に用いることができる。不活性ガスは単独で又は2種以上組み合わせて使用することができる。
【0015】
なお、不活性ガスの雰囲気下における気圧としては、特に制限されず、保管や処理の種類などに応じて適宜選択することができ、常圧、加圧、減圧のいずれであってもよい。具体的には、反応粗液の保管及び/又は処理は、例えば、常圧(1気圧)状態の不活性ガス雰囲気下で行われてもよく、加圧状態又は減圧状態の不活性ガス雰囲気下で行われてもよい。
【0016】
本発明の着色防止方法を利用して得られる6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の精製品は、各種工業原料、特に染料、顔料、樹脂(液晶ポリマー等)などの原料として好適に使用できる。

【発明の効果】
本発明の6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色防止方法によれば、前記のように、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の反応粗液の保管又は処理を、不活性ガスの雰囲気下で行っているので、6−ヒドロキシ−2−ナフトエ酸の着色を効果的に防止することができる。

[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of effectively suppressing or preventing coloring of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0006]
That is, the present invention is a method for preventing coloring of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid at the time of storage and / or processing of a crude reaction solution of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, the method comprising: A method for preventing coloration of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, characterized in that at least a part of the time period is kept under an inert gas atmosphere.
[0007]
In the present invention, the period in which the inert gas atmosphere is maintained is preferably a period in which the reaction crude liquid of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is exposed to a temperature of 40 ° C. or higher. As the crude reaction liquid of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, a reaction mixture obtained by a reaction utilizing the Kolbe-Schmidt reaction can be suitably used.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the method for preventing coloration of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid according to the present invention, at least one part of the period during storage and during the treatment is set to be in an atmosphere of an inert gas. That is, at least a part of the storage and processing of the crude reaction solution of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is performed in an inert gas atmosphere. As described above, the environment is maintained under an atmosphere of an inert gas during storage and processing of the reaction crude liquid, so that the decomposition of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid during the storage and processing is effectively suppressed. Alternatively, the coloring of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid can be effectively suppressed or prevented. In addition, the load of the decoloring operation in the purification step can be reduced. For example, the amount of a decolorizing agent (eg, activated carbon) used for decolorization can be reduced.
[0009]
The reaction crude liquid of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid may be a reaction crude liquid (a reaction mixture after the completion of the reaction) obtained by a known reaction (production method) for producing 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. There is no particular limitation.
[0010]
The present invention relates to a method for preventing coloration of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and the production reaction (production method) of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is not particularly limited. The known reaction for producing 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid generally includes a Kolbe-Schmidt reaction as described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,593,816 and JP-A-57-95939. The production reaction utilized can be used, and the production reaction described in JP-A-2002-128725, the production reaction described in JP-A-2002-302465, and the production reaction described in JP-T-5-503299 are available. The production reaction described in JP-A-2-124847, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. , 75, 619-622 (2002) can also be used. A reaction mixture (reaction crude liquid) containing 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid obtained by the reaction utilizing the Kolbe-Schmidt reaction is usually a mixture of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and 2-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid as impurities. It contains -1-naphthoic acid, 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, unreacted 2-naphthol (β-naphthol) or derivatives thereof (potassium salt, sodium salt, etc.).
[0011]
In the present invention, as the reaction crude liquid of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, a reaction mixture (reaction crude liquid) obtained by a reaction utilizing the Kolbe-Schmidt reaction can be suitably used. In such a production reaction utilizing the Kolbe-Schmidt reaction, 2-naphthol or a derivative thereof (such as a potassium salt or sodium salt of 2-naphthol) is used as a raw material, and the reaction obtained using the Kolbe-Schmidt reaction is terminated. The temperature of the reaction crude solution immediately after is usually about 200 to 300 ° C. The crude reaction solution can be subjected to subsequent processing after or without storage.
[0012]
The treatment of the reaction crude liquid is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include various treatments such as an acid precipitation treatment, an extraction treatment, a decolorization treatment, a separation treatment, and a drying treatment. Specifically, for example, a predetermined amount of water is added to the crude reaction solution, and the pH is adjusted (adjusted) to 6.5 to 8.0 using an acid (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid). The 2-naphthol or its derivative in the reaction is released as 2-naphthol (neutralization treatment; adjusted to about pH 7). At this stage, the temperature of the reaction crude liquid has usually dropped to 50 to 100 ° C. Further, either before or after this, after separating the reaction medium and the aqueous layer, the aqueous layer is extracted with a hydrophobic solvent, and 2-naphthol is separated to roughly purify 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. (Extraction process). The temperature in this extraction step is usually 20 to 100 ° C. In addition, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is contained in the aqueous layer after extracting 2-naphthol with a hydrophobic solvent. Further, the aqueous layer after the extraction of 2-naphthol is usually subjected to a decolorization treatment at 20 to 100 ° C. using a decolorizing agent such as activated carbon. Thereafter, an acid such as sulfuric acid is added to the crude purified solution of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid after decolorization to perform an acid precipitation treatment to precipitate 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. The obtained crude crystals of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid are washed with water, further purified by crystallization, and then dried by a conventional method to obtain purified 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. You can get the product.
[0013]
The method for preventing coloration of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid of the present invention can be applied during the treatment of the reaction crude liquid as described above or during storage before or after the treatment. Since the decomposition of 2-naphthoic acid easily proceeds at a high temperature (for example, 40 ° C. or higher), the reaction crude liquid of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (or a crude product thereof) is exposed to a temperature of 40 ° C. or higher. It can be suitably applied during storage and processing. Therefore, the period during which the crude reaction solution of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is kept under an atmosphere of an inert gas during storage or treatment is preferably all periods after the completion of the reaction. It is particularly preferred that the reaction crude liquid of -hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (or a crudely purified product thereof) be exposed to a temperature of 40 ° C or higher. The entire period after the completion of the reaction may be, for example, a period from the completion of the reaction to the production of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, or the period after the completion of the reaction. It may be a period until the acid product is used. Further, the storage of the reaction crude liquid means not only the storage before treating the reaction crude liquid, but also the storage after performing various treatments on the reaction crude liquid.
[0014]
The inert gas (inert gas) is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, nitrogen, helium, and argon. As the inert gas, nitrogen can be suitably used in terms of cost and the like. The inert gas can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0015]
The pressure in the atmosphere of the inert gas is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the type of storage and processing, and may be any of normal pressure, pressurization, and pressure reduction. Specifically, the storage and / or treatment of the reaction crude liquid may be performed, for example, in an inert gas atmosphere at normal pressure (1 atm), or under a pressurized or reduced pressure inert gas atmosphere. May be performed.
[0016]
The purified product of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid obtained by using the coloring prevention method of the present invention can be suitably used as a raw material for various industrial raw materials, particularly, dyes, pigments, resins (liquid crystal polymers, etc.).
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the method for preventing coloration of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid of the present invention, as described above, the storage or treatment of the crude reaction solution of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is performed in an atmosphere of an inert gas.
