Description

  The present invention relates to a method for forming a carbon-carbon bond of an organic compound that is reacted in a reaction field using high-temperature and high-pressure water as a reaction medium, and more specifically, a microspace of a microspace device is used as a mixing field and reaction field. , Carbon-carbon coupling reaction of organic compounds by installing a high-pressure mixing process that makes water and organic compound a suspension containing emulsion and dispersion, and a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction process that reacts under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions in multiple stages The present invention relates to a new organic compound reaction method that can be carried out in a short time with high yield and high selectivity. The present invention relates to a method of forming a carbon-carbon bond by reacting a compound having an olefin at the terminal with an alkyl halide or aryl halide, and reacting a compound having an ethynyl group with an alkyl halide or aryl halide at the terminal. Carrying out useful reactions in a short time, with high yield and high selectivity, including methods for forming carbon-carbon bonds and methods for forming carbon-carbon bonds by cross-coupling of organic halides and organic boron compounds. The present invention provides a new carbon-carbon coupling technology that can be put into practical use and can be substituted for an existing useful industrial production technology.

  The Heck reaction is described in R.A. F. A reaction found in 1972 by Heck, a useful reaction for forming a carbon-carbon bond by reacting a compound having an olefin at the terminal with an alkyl halide or aryl halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. (See Non-Patent Document 1). This Heck reaction is relatively good in yield and selectivity, does not require a catalyst that requires strict handling and is simple, and in recent years, for example, used for basic chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis. It has become a useful reaction.

  The Sonogashira coupling is a reaction found in 1975, in which a compound having an ethynyl group at the terminal is reacted with an alkyl halide or aryl halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a copper (I) catalyst. And a useful reaction for forming a carbon-carbon bond (see Non-Patent Document 2). This Sonogashira coupling is relatively good in yield and selectivity, and does not require a catalyst that requires strict handling and is simple, so in recent years, for example, it is used for basic chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis. It has become a useful reaction. Currently, a method of performing Sonogashira coupling under the condition of only a copper (I) catalyst or a palladium catalyst has been developed.

  Suzuki coupling is a reaction in which an organic halide and an organic boron compound are cross-coupled in the presence of a palladium catalyst, and was reported by Suzuki et al. In 1979 (see Non-Patent Document 3). This reaction is now widely used as a powerful means for synthesizing carbon-carbon bonds by cross-coupling. This reaction is good in yield and selectivity, and reacts even under mild conditions, so it is easy to handle, but the reaction time usually requires several hours. To keep the selectivity high, a separate ligand reagent is added to the catalyst palladium. Reaction in an organic solvent such as DME to which is added is common.

  In recent years, due to growing environmental problems, organic synthesis methods aimed at deorganic solvents have been actively developed. For example, Suzuki coupling performed in water using microwaves has been reported. On the other hand, since a mixed medium with an organic solvent to which 2 THFs are added is used, even in water, there is no difference from what is performed in an organic solvent.

  The prior art document proposes a method for coupling organic compounds in which organic compounds are mixed in a microreactor, reacted for a residence time, and the resulting coupling product is isolated from the reaction mixture (patent). Reference 1). However, this reaction is premised on being performed in an organic solvent, and is not a reaction using high-temperature and high-pressure water as a reaction medium. Further, carbon comprising reacting an arylboric acid compound and an aryl halide compound together with a ligand and a base in the presence of a catalyst composition in which a palladium catalyst is physically supported on a crosslinked organic polymer compound -A carbon coupling reaction method has been proposed (see Patent Document 2). However, in this reaction, as seen in Examples, toluene: water = 4: 1, which is equivalent to performing the reaction in an organic solvent containing water.

  On the other hand, in order to improve global environmental problems in recent years, a technique not using an organic medium has attracted attention and has been studied, and the above-mentioned Sonogashira coupling is also being examined in the same manner. As the method, for example, 1) a method using supercritical carbon dioxide, 2) a method using ionic liquid, and 3) a method using water as a medium are being studied. The above 1) method using supercritical carbon dioxide uses carbon dioxide as a reaction medium to find out how to use carbon dioxide as a global warming gas, and uses the properties of supercritical fluid. However, the catalyst is insoluble in supercritical carbon dioxide, so it is necessary to add a semi-solvent or use a special ligand. (See Non-Patent Document 3). In addition, in the case of the above method 2) using an ionic liquid, there is no problem such as solubility of the catalyst, but there is a difficulty in the process of separating the product from the ionic liquid. (See Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5).

  In addition, in the above method 3) using water as a medium, it is necessary to dissolve the compound in water during the reaction, and it is necessary to add a water-soluble organic amine (diisopropylethylamine, pyrrolidine, etc.) (Non-Patent Document 6). Therefore, in the end, it is the same as the method using an organic medium. Furthermore, since organic compounds such as raw materials do not dissolve in water, a method of carrying out in a two-phase system has been developed, but the reaction requires a long time of 24 hours or more and is not practical (see Non-Patent Document 7). . Furthermore, although a method using microwaves as a heating method has been proposed, many problems remain such as inability to cope with scale-up and poor reproducibility (see Non-Patent Document 8).

  Under such circumstances, the present inventors have developed a carbon-carbon coupling method for a new organic compound that can solve the problems in the prior art and is low in environmental load in view of the prior art.

Next, this suspension is supplied to a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction step, which is a reaction field under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions, and the reaction is performed under predetermined reaction conditions.

  In general organic synthesis, it is necessary to dissolve a reaction substrate in a reaction medium. Therefore, in organic synthesis using water as a reaction medium, the reaction substrate needs to be dissolved in water, and the substrate is limited to a water-soluble substrate, but in the present invention, the substrate does not need to be dissolved in water at all. Even a water-soluble substrate can be used.

Is possible.

  In the present invention, (1) no organic solvent is used, (2) a reaction system comprising water, a catalyst and a reaction substrate is mixed in a mixing step to form a suspension containing an emulsion state and a dispersion state. By reacting the reaction system in a suspended state in a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions using subcritical water, supercritical water, etc. (4) For example, the following reactions (1) to (23) can be allowed to proceed.

  In the above reaction formula, Ra to Rc are arbitrary substituents, and mainly represent substituents such as a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an amino group, a sulfide, and a thiol. However, in the present invention, the substituent is not limited to these, and a compound having an appropriate substituent can be used as long as the reaction can proceed.

  The method of the present invention can be applied to all reactions. For example, in addition to the above-described carbon-carbon bond formation, reactions such as carbon-nitrogen bond formation and carbon-oxygen bond formation are conceivable. The kind is not particularly limited. In the present invention, the formation of a carbon-carbon bond is defined as including these reactions.

However, the product is not limited to these.

  In the present invention, as described above, for example, a carbon-carbon bond can be suitably formed using a reaction system that does not use an organic solvent. In the present invention, for example, a mixing process in which a reaction system containing water and a reaction substrate is mixed to form a suspension containing an emulsion state or a dispersion state is essential, but an emulsifier such as a surfactant is not used as a reaction medium. Since no added water is used, the separation of water and substrate or water and product is very easy, and in many cases the product phase is formed on the surface of the aqueous medium, so many organic With respect to the compound, there is an advantage that a special separation and purification step of the product after the reaction can be omitted, and the separation step of the product becomes simple.

  In the present invention, as a reactor system for carrying out the above reaction method, mixing means for mixing a reaction system containing water and a reaction substrate into a suspension containing an emulsion state or a dispersion state, A high-temperature and high-pressure reaction system provided with multiple stages of high-temperature and high-pressure reaction means for reacting a substrate under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions can be used, and the mixing means can be installed in multiple stages according to the type of reaction substrate and / or catalyst.

The specific configuration of the high-temperature and high-pressure reaction system used in the present invention is not limited to these, and is arbitrarily designed according to the organic compound of the substrate, the type of reaction, etc. based on these basic configurations. be able to. In the present invention, a continuous reaction apparatus is preferably used, but a batch reaction apparatus can also be used as appropriate.

The following effects are exhibited by the present invention.
(1) By using water as a reaction medium without using an organic solvent and reacting a suspended reaction substrate under high-temperature and high-pressure water conditions, the reaction time of the organic compound can be reduced in seconds or subseconds. A new organic reaction method capable of performing a carbon-carbon coupling reaction can be provided.
(2) A multi-stage process comprising mixing a reaction system containing water and a reaction substrate into a suspension containing an emulsion state or a dispersion state, and a high-temperature high-pressure reaction step for reacting the suspension reaction system under high-temperature high-pressure water conditions.

A ring reaction method can be provided.

(4) By using the method of the present invention, for example, a Heck reaction is performed in which a compound having a vinyl group as a reaction substrate is reacted with an alkyl halide or an aryl halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. In addition, when performing the Sonogashira reaction in which an ethynyl group and an alkyl halide or aryl halide are reacted in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a copper catalyst as a reaction substrate, cross-coupling between an organic halide and an organic boron compound is performed. Various reactions such as the Suzuki coupling performed in the presence of a palladium catalyst can be performed in a very short time and with a high yield and a high selectivity without using any organic solvent.

(5) It is possible to provide a new reaction method of an organic compound that makes it possible to form a carbon-carbon bond of the organic compound with high yield and high selectivity in an aqueous system.
(6) Since the method of the present invention is a reaction using water as a medium without using any organic solvent, the reaction substrate and / or product can be easily separated and recovered, and impurities can be discharged. Since there is almost no water and water can be reused, it is useful to provide a new general chemical synthesis method with a low environmental load.

(7) Since the method of the present invention can perform a reaction in a very short time using a micro space device, the entire reaction system can be greatly reduced in size, thereby reducing the input energy and the like. Can contribute to energy saving.

  Next, the present invention will be specifically described based on examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

In this example, Sonogashira reaction was examined. In this example, the continuous reaction apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. First, ethynylbenzene and iodide benzene were mixed at a molar ratio of 1: 1, and the solution was allowed to flow from the pump at a flow rate of 0.4 mL / min. Also, 8 × 10 ⁻³ mol / L, 2 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution of palladium chloride is allowed to flow from the pump at a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min, mixed through the T-shaped tube, and further passed through the T-shaped tube. High-temperature high-pressure water was mixed and reacted at 250 ° C. and 16 MPa for high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled with a water cooler, and finally the pressure was lowered through a pressure control valve to obtain the target compound 1,2-diphenylacetylene.

  The results are summarized in Table 1. As a result, it was found that the yield reached 96% and the selectivity reached 100% in only 35 ms. However, it was found that the yield and selectivity decreased in the long-time reaction (4 seconds). The reason is considered to be that the reaction proceeds further, and the produced 1,2-diphenylacetylene undergoes dimerization and trimerization to produce hexaphenylbenzene and the like.

On the other hand, compared with the existing method of literature (K. Sonogashira, Y. Tohda, N. Hagihara, Tetrahedron Lett., 1975, 4467) about the rotational speed per unit time (TOF) of the catalyst, It was found to be 4.34 × 10 ⁻⁶ h ⁻¹ which is 100,000 times or more. Moreover, in the existing method described in the literature, the organic amine pyrrolidine is added to water in an amount of 25 Vol%, and considering that pure water is not used as a solvent, the present invention is an improved method for Sonogami coupling. As effective.

  Next, a solution in which ethynylbenzene and toluene iodide are mixed at a molar ratio of 1: 1.2 is used as a substrate, under the same conditions as in Example 1, with a reaction time of 4 seconds and a pressure of 16 MPa to 25 MPa. The relationship between the yield and selectivity of the target reaction product (1,2-diphenylacetylene) depending on temperature was examined. The results are summarized in Table 2. As a result, it was found that when the reaction temperature was 16 MPa, the range from 200 to 400 ° C. was good, and in particular, the yield and selectivity were best in the temperature range from 250 ° C. to 300 ° C.

  Furthermore, when the pressure was 25 MPa, the yield and selectivity were lower than when the pressure was 16 MPa, but it was found that the target compound was obtained in the range of 200 to 420 ° C. In addition, when compared at 8 to 40 MPa under the reaction conditions of 200 ° C., no significant change in yield due to pressure is observed, but there is a tendency for the yield to decrease under high pressure conditions of 40 MPa, and the selectivity is particularly high at 16 MPa. I found it good. This is considered to be due to impurities that are suitably generated under high pressure conditions.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 2, the reaction temperature was lowered and the reaction was conducted for a long time. The results are summarized in Table 3. As a result, when ethynylbenzene and iodide benzene were used as substrates, even if the reaction was carried out for 4.4 seconds or more, there was no significant change in yield and selectivity. The cause is considered that palladium chloride dissolved in water is precipitated as palladium metal in a long-time reaction, and thus does not work as a catalyst.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 2, other palladium was used instead of palladium chloride. Palladium acetate was used for palladium. The results are summarized in Table 4. As a result, when palladium acetate was used, the yield tended to decrease, but the selectivity was improved. However, it was found that palladium acetate dissolved in water tends to precipitate as palladium metal after the reaction, compared to palladium chloride.

  The amount of palladium to be added was examined under the same conditions as in Example 2. The results are shown in Table 5. As a result, in the case of ethynylbenzene and toluene iodide, the yield was 80.5% and the selectivity was 76.7% when the concentration of the catalyst was 1 mol% with respect to the substrate (ethynylbenzene). The catalyst concentration was increased to 2 mol% and 4 mol%, but no significant change in yield was observed.

  On the other hand, it was found that when the concentration of the catalyst was reduced to 0.5 mol%, the yield was reduced to 65%. From this, it was found that the catalyst concentration should be 1 mol% or more with respect to the substrate. On the other hand, in the case of ethynylbenzene and iodide benzene, the concentration of the catalyst is 1 mol% or more at 250 ° C. with respect to the substrate (ethynylbenzene), and the concentration of the catalyst is 0.5 mol or more at 300 ° C., depending on the amount of catalyst. It was found that there was no significant change in yield and selectivity.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 2, the reactivity of the added alkali species was examined. As the alkali species, potassium hydrogen carbonate was used in addition to sodium hydroxide. The results are summarized in Table 6. As a result, it was found that both yield and selectivity tend to decrease. It was also found that the yield was about 29% even with weakly alkaline potassium hydrogen carbonate.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 1, in addition to benzene iodide, a study was performed using bromobenzene and benzene chloride as the aryl halide. The results are summarized in Table 7. As a result, when benzene chloride was used as a reaction substrate, the reaction did not occur, but when benzene bromide was used, 1,2-diphenylacetylene was successfully obtained in a yield of 33%. When aryl halides were used, the reactivity was in the order of I >> Br >> Cl with respect to the halogen, and it was found that the reactivity tendency of general aryl halides was the same.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 1, in addition to benzene iodide, a study was performed using toluene iodide and anisole iodide as the aryl iodide having a substituent. The results are summarized in Table 8. As a result, it was found that even when aryl iodides having various substituents were used, the desired product was obtained with a yield of 90% or more, despite Sonogashira coupling having a reaction time of 100 ms. .

  In this example, iodotoluene or bromotoluene and phenylacetylene were used as substrates, and instead of using a continuous reactor, a batch reactor was used. The results are shown in Table 9. Regarding the reaction temperature, 300 ° C. was found to be the best. Moreover, it turned out that a pressure is 8.6 Mpa. Also, it was found that the reaction time was better when the reaction time was shorter than the long time, and 2 minutes was the best. Further, it was found that bromotoluene cannot obtain the target product and reacts only in the case of aryl iodide. Furthermore, a copper catalyst was used in addition to the palladium catalyst, but almost no target product was obtained. In any case, the yield of the target product obtained by Sonogashira coupling was 27% at the maximum, which was also found to be lower than in the case of the flow-through type. Thereby, it turned out that the flow type is superior to the batch type.

Next, the Heck reaction was examined. As the reaction apparatus, the continuous reaction apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. First, ethynylbenzene and iodobenzene were mixed at a molar ratio of 1: 1, and the solution was allowed to flow from the pump at a flow rate of 0.2 mL / min. Further, palladium chloride 8 × ¹⁰ -3 mol / L, flowing aqueous NaOH 2 mol / L from the pump at 2.0 mL / min flow rate after mixing through a T-tube, further 12mL through T-shaped tube The mixture was mixed with high-temperature and high-pressure water at a flow rate of / min and reacted under various reaction temperature conditions at a pressure of 16 MPa and a reaction time of 100 ms. After the reaction, the reaction product was cooled with a water cooler, and finally the pressure was lowered through a pressure control valve to obtain each target compound. The results are summarized in Table 10.

  Under the same conditions as in Example 10, in addition to benzene iodide, a study was performed using benzene bromide and benzene chloride. The results are summarized in Table 11. As a result, when benzene chloride was used as a reaction substrate, the reaction did not occur, but when benzene bromide was used, a compound derived from the Heck reaction was obtained in a yield of 37%. When aryl halides were used, the reactivity was in the order of I> Br >> Cl with respect to the halogen, and it was found that the reactivity tendency of general aryl halides was the same.

A continuous reactor equipped with a two-stage micromixing and microreaction field shown in FIG. 1 was used. First, benzene iodide was allowed to flow from pump A at a flow rate of 0.07 mL / min. Further, 8 × 10 ⁻³ mol / L, 2 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution of palladium chloride is allowed to flow from pump B at a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min, mixed through a T-shaped tube, and then further passed through a T-shaped tube. The mixture was mixed with high-temperature and high-pressure water at a flow rate of 12 mL / min, and the reaction was carried out under various reaction temperature conditions at a pressure of 16 MPa and a reaction time of 100 ms. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled with a water cooler, and finally the pressure was reduced through a pressure control valve to obtain each target compound biphenyl. The results are summarized in Table 12. As a result, usually, in each carbon-carbon bond reaction such as Suzuki reaction, Negishi reaction, Kumada reaction, etc., as shown in FIG. 3, it reacts via dihydroboron, zinc complex, magnesium complex. In the case of the invention, although the yield is as low as 19% at the maximum, it was found that the product can be obtained with high selectivity. In addition, even if reaction time was lengthened, the improvement of the yield was not seen.

  Next, the carbon-carbon bonding reaction by the Suzuki coupling reaction shown in Suzuki Coupling in FIG. 3 was examined. A continuous reaction apparatus equipped with a three-stage micromixing and microreaction field shown in FIG. 4 was used. When the raw material is halogenated benzene, for example, benzene iodide is a liquid, but phenylbisboron hydroxide is a solid and does not mix with benzene iodide. It introduced into the 1st high pressure mixer. Further, since benzene iodide is a liquid, it was introduced directly into the first high-pressure mixer (T-shaped tube) at a flow rate of 0.07 mL / min from the pump.

Next, 8 × 10 ⁻³ mol / L of palladium chloride and 2 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution are flowed from the pump at a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min, mixed through the T-shaped tube, and further passed through the T-shaped tube. The mixture was mixed with high-temperature and high-pressure water at a flow rate of 12 mL / min, and the reaction was carried out under various reaction temperature conditions at a pressure of 16 MPa and a reaction time of 100 ms. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled with a water cooler, and finally the pressure was reduced through a pressure control valve to obtain each target compound biphenyl.

  Table 13 summarizes the results of studying the difference in conversion rate and yield depending on the reaction temperature. As a result, when the raw material was benzene iodide, the reaction temperature was 250 ° C. (Experiment Nos. 1 to 4), and the conversion and yield were 96%, and the selectivity was 100%. Moreover, when the reaction temperature was 300 ° C., the conversion rate was 52%, but it was found that even when the catalyst amount was doubled, there was almost no difference with 54%.

  Further, when bromobenzene and chlorobenzene having lower activity were used as raw materials from benzene iodide, 80% yield and 100% selectivity (experiment number 7) in the case of bromobenzene, and in the case of chlorobenzene, It was found that biphenyl was obtained with a yield of 68% and a selectivity of 100% (Experiment No. 10), and the yield improved in the order of I >> Br> Cl.
