前記一般式(3)、(4)、(5)で示される不純物はエノール体を経由して生成することから、2−ケト酸エステル中のケト体含有率が高いほど保存安定性が高いことから、ケト体含有率の高い高純度2−ケト酸エステルを製造する工業的に有利な方法が望まれていた。   Since the impurities represented by the general formulas (3), (4) and (5) are generated via enol bodies, the higher the keto body content in the 2-keto acid ester, the higher the storage stability. Therefore, an industrially advantageous method for producing a high-purity 2-keto acid ester having a high keto content is desired.

本発明者らは課題を解決する方法について鋭意検討した結果、ケト体含有率の高い、高純度2−ケト酸エステルを製造する方法を見出し、本発明に到達した。   As a result of intensive studies on a method for solving the problems, the present inventors have found a method for producing a high-purity 2-keto acid ester having a high keto content, and have reached the present invention.

すなわち、本発明は、一般式(1)   That is, the present invention relates to the general formula (1)

(ここで、Rは水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基であり、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示す。)で表されるケト体とエノール体の混合物である2−ケト酸エステルを蒸留する際に、エノール体含有率の高い前留分をpH1.5〜5に調製してから加熱処理した後、蒸留工程にリサイクルすることを特徴とするケト体含有率の高い高純度2−ケト酸エステルを製造方法である。 Where R 1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. When the keto acid ester is distilled, the pre-fraction having a high enol content is adjusted to pH 1.5 to 5 and then heat-treated, and then recycled to the distillation step. This is a method for producing a high purity 2-keto acid ester.

本発明の方法で蒸留を行うことで、ケト体含有率が高く、安定な高純度2−ケト酸エステルを高収率で得ることができる。   By carrying out distillation by the method of the present invention, a keto body content rate is high, and a stable high-purity 2-keto acid ester can be obtained in a high yield.

(ここで、Rは水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基であり、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示す。)で表される2−ケト酸エステルとは、ピルビン酸メチル、ピルビン酸プロピル、2−ケトブタン酸メチル、2−ケトブタン酸エチル、2−ケトペンタン酸メチル等の2−ケト酸エステル等の2−ケト低級アルキルカルボン酸エステル類が挙げられるが、好ましくはピルビン酸メチル、ピルビン酸プロピル、2−ケト酪酸メチル、2−ケト酪酸エチルである。 (Here, R 1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.) The 2-keto acid ester represented by methyl pyruvate 2-keto lower alkyl carboxylic acid esters such as 2-keto acid esters such as propyl pyruvate, methyl 2-ketobutanoate, ethyl 2-ketobutanoate and methyl 2-ketopentanoate, preferably methyl pyruvate Propyl pyruvate, methyl 2-ketobutyrate, ethyl 2-ketobutyrate.

2−ケト酸エステルに含有されるケト体とエノール体の量は、それぞれの化合物に適したガスクロマトグラフィー条件で測定することが出来る。本発明でケト体含有率またはエノール体含有率と言う場合は、それぞれ、2−ケト酸エステル(ケト体とエノール体の合計量)に対する含有率を言う。   The amount of keto and enol contained in the 2-keto acid ester can be measured under gas chromatography conditions suitable for each compound. In the present invention, the term “keto body content” or “enol body content” refers to the content of 2-keto acid ester (total amount of keto body and enol body).

2−ケト酸エステルに含有されるケト体とエノール体の量は、化合物の種類によって平衡組成が異なるので一概には言えないが、例えば2−ケト酪酸メチルであれば平衡組成はケト体/エノール体が約97/3である。また、ケト体が鉄等の金属イオンと接触すると分解が促進されて2量体等の不純物が生成するが、これは一般式(6)に示したようにケト体が金属イオンによりエノール構造に誘導されるために、もう1分子のケト体と反応し易くなり、2量体等の不純物が生成する。   The amount of keto and enol contained in the 2-keto acid ester cannot be generally specified because the equilibrium composition differs depending on the type of compound. For example, if methyl 2-ketobutyrate is used, the equilibrium composition is keto / enol. The body is about 97/3. In addition, when the keto body comes into contact with a metal ion such as iron, decomposition is promoted and impurities such as a dimer are generated. This is because the keto body is converted into an enol structure by the metal ion as shown in the general formula (6). Since it is induced, it easily reacts with another molecule of keto, and an impurity such as a dimer is generated.

(ここで、Rは水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基であり、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示す。) (Here, R 1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.)

また、金属が存在しなくても、ハロゲンイオン等でも同様にエノール化が促進されて不純物の増加が促進される。エノール化を促進する物質が共存しなくとも、長期に保存する場合には2−ケト酸エステル中に含有されるエノール体が分解を促進するために、エノール体の含有量をできるだけ低減させることが2−ケト酸エステル純度の低下を抑制するためには必要である。従ってエノール体含有率の低い、高純度ケト酸エステルの製造法が重要となる。   Even if no metal is present, enolization is similarly promoted by halogen ions and the like, and the increase in impurities is promoted. Even if a substance that promotes enolization does not coexist, the enol form contained in the 2-keto acid ester promotes decomposition when stored for a long period of time, so that the content of the enol form can be reduced as much as possible. It is necessary to suppress a decrease in 2-keto acid ester purity. Therefore, a method for producing a high-purity keto acid ester having a low enol content is important.

一般にケト体とエノール体は沸点が異なり、エノール体の方が低沸点である。これはエノール体が一般式(7)   In general, keto bodies and enol bodies have different boiling points, and enol bodies have lower boiling points. The enol form is represented by the general formula (7)

Figure 2005336120
Figure 2005336120

(ここで、Rは水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基であり、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示す。)に示したように、5員環構造を形成することによる。従って、精留すればエノール体とケト体を分離することができる。 (Wherein R 1 represents hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms). As shown in FIG. . Therefore, enol and keto bodies can be separated by rectification.

例えば2−ケト酪酸メチルの場合、平衡組成(ケト体/エノール体=97/3)の混合物を20〜30段の精留塔で蒸留すると、ケト体含有率が約99%の高純度2−ケト酪酸メチルが約80%の収率で得られるが、約20%の前留分に約18%のケト体が含まれる。従って、高純度2−ケト酪酸メチルの精製回収率を向上させるためには、前留分(組成比 ケト体/エノール体=90/10)を加熱処理して精留仕込み時の組成比(97/3)まで戻してから蒸留すればよい。   For example, in the case of methyl 2-ketobutyrate, when a mixture having an equilibrium composition (keto form / enol form = 97/3) is distilled in a rectification column having 20 to 30 stages, a high purity 2- Methyl ketobutyrate is obtained in a yield of about 80%, but about 20% of the pre-distillate contains about 18% keto form. Therefore, in order to improve the purification and recovery of high-purity methyl 2-ketobutyrate, the pre-fraction (composition ratio keto body / enol body = 90/10) is heat-treated and the composition ratio (97 / 3) and then distilled.

エノール体含有率の高い留分はpHを1.5〜5に調製してから加熱処理して蒸留することが重要である。ここで、pHを調整してから加熱処理する留分とは、エノール含有率の高い留分をいうが、好ましくは、エノール体含有率が2−ケト酸エステルに対して3%以上の留分が好ましい。   It is important that the fraction having a high enol content is distilled after heat treatment after adjusting the pH to 1.5 to 5. Here, the fraction to be heat-treated after adjusting the pH refers to a fraction having a high enol content, preferably a fraction having an enol content of 3% or more with respect to the 2-keto acid ester. Is preferred.

エノール体含有率の高い留分は、pH1.5〜5に調製するが、好ましくはpH2〜4、更に好ましくは2〜3に調製する。この範囲であれば留分に含まれるエノール体の一部はケト体に変換されると同時に、大部分は分解されるが、ケト体の分解は抑制されて、全体としてケト体の回収率が向上する。   The fraction having a high enol content is adjusted to pH 1.5 to 5, preferably pH 2 to 4, more preferably 2 to 3. Within this range, a part of the enol body contained in the fraction is converted into a keto body and at the same time, most of it is decomposed, but the decomposition of the keto body is suppressed, and the recovery rate of the keto body as a whole is increased. improves.

pHを1.5〜5に調製する方法は、ハロゲンイオンを含まない有機酸や無機酸、あるいはそれらの塩を添加する方法が挙げられるが、好ましくは炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸水素ナトリウム等の弱塩基性のアルカリ金属塩であり、炭酸水素ナトリウムが特に好ましい。アルカリ金属塩の添加量は仕込み前留分に対して0.01〜0.001重量倍が好ましく、さらに好ましくは0.008〜0.005重量倍である。これら弱塩基性のアルカリ金属塩を前留分に添加して所定のpHに調製することもできるが、硫酸水素ナトリウム、あるいはその水和物等の弱酸性のアルカリ金属塩と組み合わせる方法も採用できる。具体的には、一定量の弱塩基性アルカリ金属塩を添加した後、所定のpHになるまで弱酸性のアルカリ金属塩を添加する方法が好ましい。   Examples of the method for adjusting the pH to 1.5 to 5 include a method of adding an organic acid or an inorganic acid not containing a halogen ion, or a salt thereof, but preferably a weakly basic such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. An alkali metal salt of sodium hydrogen carbonate is particularly preferable. The addition amount of the alkali metal salt is preferably 0.01 to 0.001 times by weight, more preferably 0.008 to 0.005 times by weight with respect to the fraction before charging. These weakly basic alkali metal salts can be adjusted to a predetermined pH by adding them to the pre-fraction, but a method of combining with weakly acidic alkali metal salts such as sodium hydrogen sulfate or hydrates thereof can also be adopted. . Specifically, it is preferable to add a weakly acidic alkali metal salt until a predetermined pH is reached after adding a certain amount of the weakly basic alkali metal salt.

加熱温度は室温から80℃であり、好ましくは30〜60℃、特に好ましくは35〜45℃である。この範囲であれば、ケト体の回収率は高い。   The heating temperature is from room temperature to 80 ° C, preferably 30 to 60 ° C, particularly preferably 35 to 45 ° C. Within this range, the keto body recovery rate is high.

加熱時間は条件によって異なるが、通常は2〜10時間である。   Although heating time changes with conditions, it is 2 to 10 hours normally.

このように、pHを調製してから加熱処理を行うと、留分に含まれるエノール体の一部はケト体に変換され、大部分のエノール体は分解する。こうして、留分のエノール体含有率を低くしたあとで、蒸留する。   Thus, when the heat treatment is performed after adjusting the pH, a part of the enol body contained in the fraction is converted into a keto body, and the majority of the enol body is decomposed. Thus, after reducing the enol content of the fraction, it is distilled.

かくして得られた留分の加熱処理液はそのまま、あるいは析出しているアルカリ金属塩を濾過で除去してから、または酢酸エチル等の有機溶媒で希釈した後に水洗し、有機層の溶媒を濃縮除去してから蒸留することもできる。このようにして、エノール体含有率の高い留分をpH調整後加熱処理を行って蒸留をすると、主留分としてケト体含有率の高い高純度2−ケト酸エステルを、高収率で得ることができる。   The heat treatment solution of the fraction thus obtained is left as it is or after removing the precipitated alkali metal salt by filtration or diluted with an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate and then washed with water, and the organic layer solvent is concentrated and removed. Then, it can be distilled. In this way, when a fraction having a high enol content is subjected to heat treatment after pH adjustment and distilled, a high-purity 2-keto acid ester having a high keto content is obtained in a high yield as the main fraction. be able to.

蒸留は連続で行っても、バッチ式で行っても良いが、エノール体含有率の高い留分を加熱処理し、蒸留工程にリサイクルして、連続的に行うのが好ましい。   Although distillation may be performed continuously or batchwise, it is preferable that the fraction having a high enol content is heat-treated and recycled to the distillation step to be continuously performed.

本発明の方法によれば、通常、エノール体の含有量が2−ケト酸エステルに対して2%以下の高純度の2−ケト酸エステルを得ることができる。   According to the method of the present invention, a highly pure 2-keto acid ester having an enol content of 2% or less with respect to the 2-keto acid ester can be usually obtained.

ここで、蒸留原料に使用する2−ケト酸エステルは一般式(8)   Here, the 2-keto acid ester used for the distillation raw material is represented by the general formula (8).

(ここで、Rは水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基であり、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示す。)で表される2−ヒドロキシ酸エステルを酸化して製造する事ができる。 Where R 1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. I can do things.

酸化法は何れの方法でも採用できるが、例えば次亜塩素酸ナトリウム水溶液で酸化する方法が採用できる。   Any method can be employed as the oxidation method. For example, a method of oxidizing with an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution can be employed.

また、エノール体含有率の高い留分をpH1.5〜5に調製して加熱処理して得た溶液中に酸化反応の原料である2−ヒドロキシ酸エステルが蓄積してきた場合には、留分の加熱処理液を酸化してから蒸留にリサイクルすることで、効率よく2−ケト酸エステルのケト体が回収できる。   Moreover, when 2-hydroxy acid ester which is a raw material of the oxidation reaction has accumulated in a solution obtained by preparing a fraction having a high enol content ratio to pH 1.5 to 5 and heat treatment, The keto body of the 2-keto acid ester can be efficiently recovered by oxidizing the heat treatment solution and recycling it to distillation.

留分の加熱処理液の酸化法は何れの方法でも採用できるが、前記した次亜塩素酸ナトリウム水溶液で酸化する方法などをあげることができる。   Any method can be used as the oxidation method of the heat treatment solution of the fraction, and examples thereof include a method of oxidizing with the above-mentioned sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution.

酸化処理後、通常の方法で回収した溶液を蒸留することで、主留分としてケト体含有率の高い高純度2−ケト酸エステルが得られる。   After the oxidation treatment, the solution collected by a usual method is distilled to obtain a high-purity 2-keto acid ester having a high keto content as the main fraction.

得られたケト体含有率の高い高純度2−ケト酸エステルは、窒素雰囲気下でフェノール樹脂、またはフェノール・エポキシ樹脂と接触させた状態で保存すれば、長期間安定に保管する事ができる。窒素雰囲気下でフェノール樹脂、またはフェノール・エポキシ樹脂と接触させた状態で保存する方法としては、これらの樹脂でライニングされた容器に保管する方法などがあげられる。   The obtained high-purity 2-keto acid ester having a high keto content can be stably stored for a long period of time if it is stored in a nitrogen atmosphere in contact with a phenol resin or a phenol / epoxy resin. Examples of the method of storing in a nitrogen atmosphere in contact with a phenol resin or a phenol / epoxy resin include a method of storing in a container lined with these resins.
