【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、メタクロレインからメタクリル酸を有利に製造する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
メタクロレインからメタクリル酸を製造する技術として現在工業化されている製造方法としては、イソブチレンや第三級ブタノールの気相接触酸化によるメタクロレインを経由する方法と、エチレンからプロピオンアルデヒドを経由してメタクロレインを経る方法が挙げられる。
【0003】
このいずれの方法においても、メタクロレインの酸化にはリン、モリブデンを主成分とするヘテロポリ酸触媒が使用されているが、触媒の寿命や収率の面で劣っている。この原因の一つにはα−位のメチレン基の二重結合の存在を指摘することができる。本発明者等はこの二重結合を保護した状態で酸化反応を行えば高い収率が得られるとの考えのもとに鋭意研究の結果本発明を完成した。
【0004】
メタクロレインとシクロペンタジエンよりシクロペンタジエン・メタクロレイン付加物(以下CPD−MALと記す。)を製造する方法としてTetrahedron:Asymmetry,5,(4),523(1994)には、ポリマーに担持したホウ素のルイス酸触媒を使用する方法が記載されている。

本発明によれば、メタクロレインから高収率でメタクリル酸を得ることができる。[0001]
[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a method for advantageously producing methacrylic acid from methacrolein.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The production methods that are currently industrialized as a technique for producing methacrylic acid from methacrolein include a method via methacrolein by gas-phase catalytic oxidation of isobutylene or tertiary butanol, and a method involving methacrolein from ethylene via propionaldehyde. The method which goes through is mentioned.
[0003]
In any of these methods, a heteropolyacid catalyst containing phosphorus and molybdenum as main components is used for the oxidation of methacrolein, but the life and yield of the catalyst are inferior. One of the causes can be pointed out by the presence of a double bond of a methylene group at the α-position. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies on the belief that a high yield can be obtained by carrying out an oxidation reaction while protecting the double bond, and completed the present invention.
[0004]
As a method for producing a cyclopentadiene / methacrolein adduct (hereinafter referred to as CPD-MAL) from methacrolein and cyclopentadiene, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 5, (4), 523 (1994) discloses a method for producing boron-supported polymer. A method using a Lewis acid catalyst is described.
[0005]
JP-A-1-254648 and JP-B-5-60454 disclose that a product obtained by amidating or transesterifying an adduct of (meth) acrylate and cyclopentadiene is dissociated to give (meth) acrylamide or ( Methods for producing aminoalkyl (meth) acrylates are described.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for advantageously producing methacrylic acid by oxidizing methacrolein while protecting the double bond at the α-position methylene group.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to the production of methacrylic acid from methacrolein,
(I) a step of producing a cyclopentadiene / methacrolein adduct from methacrolein and cyclopentadiene,
(II) a step of producing a cyclopentadiene / methacrylic acid adduct by liquid phase oxidation of a cyclopentadiene / methacrylic acid adduct, and (III) a step of dissociating the cyclopentadiene / methacrylic acid adduct into methacrylic acid and cyclopentadiene. The method for producing methacrylic acid is characterized in that:
[0008]
In the present invention, in the step (I) of obtaining CPD-MAL from methacrolein and cyclopentadiene, for example, a catalyst of the general formula SiaAbBcOd is used as a catalyst.
(Wherein Si is silicon, A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of boron, phosphorus and sulfur, and B is a group consisting of magnesium, titanium, vanadium, iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, antimony and molybdenum. At least one element selected from the group consisting of O, oxygen, a, b, c and d indicate the atomic ratio of each element, and when a = 100, b = 0 to 100 and c = 0 to 100; This is the number of oxygen atoms necessary to satisfy the valence of each component.) It is preferable to use the catalyst represented by the formula (I) since the process (I) proceeds without any trouble.
[0009]
The reaction in this step is in a liquid phase, and the catalyst is used in a suspended state. The amount of the catalyst to be used is 0.1 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 3, by weight based on methacrolein used in the reaction. The amount of cyclopentadiene is 1 to 5, preferably 1.2 to 3, in terms of molar ratio to methacrolein. The reaction may be any of a batch system, a semi-batch system, and a continuous system. The cyclopentadiene involved in the reaction can be industrially obtained by dedimerizing cyclopentadiene.
[0010]
The reaction may be carried out using methacrolein, cyclopentadiene and a catalyst alone, or a solvent such as hexane, pentane, acetic acid, benzene, or toluene may be used. As the amount of the solvent, a weight ratio of 0.5 to 3, preferably 0.7 to 2, with respect to methacrolein can be used.
[0011]
The reaction temperature is 0 to 100 ° C, preferably 30 to 80 ° C. The reaction can be performed under normal pressure, but may be performed under pressure. If necessary, a polymerization inhibitor such as hydroquinone and p-methoxyphenol may be added.
[0012]
The catalyst represented by the above general formula used in this step is obtained by using oxides, carbonates, nitrates, acetates, hydroxides, and the like of the elements constituting the catalyst as raw material compounds, using these in combination, and remarkably uneven distribution of components. As long as the method is not accompanied, it can be obtained using various well-known methods such as an evaporation to dryness method, a precipitation method, and an oxide mixing method.
[0013]
Next, in the step (II) of producing CPD-MAA by subjecting CPD-MAL to liquid phase oxidation, metal acetate, metal naphthenate, metal methacrylate, metal acetylacetonate and metal oxide are used as catalysts. At least one compound selected from the group consisting of
[0014]
Among these metal salts, as the metal acetate, potassium, calcium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, copper, nickel, rubidium, thallium, aluminum, at least one metal acetate selected from the group consisting of silver and lead, As the metal naphthenate, iron, copper, at least one metal salt of naphthenate selected from the group consisting of cobalt and lead, as the metal methacrylate, at least one selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium and iron The metal methacrylate and the metal acetylacetonate include at least one metal acetylacetonate selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, iron and copper. Commercially available metal acetate, metal naphthenate, metal methacrylate and metal acetylacetonate may be used as such catalysts, but those prepared from metals and acids may be used as necessary. You can also.
[0015]
Examples of the metal oxide include at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, silver, and lead. As these metal oxides, commercially available products may be used as they are, or they may be prepared and used in combination with carbonates, nitrates, acetates, hydroxides and the like of the corresponding metal elements.
[0016]
In the step (II) of oxidizing CPD-MAL to produce CPD-MAA, the reaction is performed in a liquid phase using the above catalyst. The amount of the catalyst used is 0.001 to 1, preferably 0.01 to 0.8 in terms of weight ratio with respect to CPD-MAL used in the reaction.
[0017]
The reaction may be any of a batch system, a semi-batch system, and a continuous system. Further, as the oxidizing agent, air, oxygen-enriched air, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the like can be used. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 0 to 100 ° C, preferably 30 to 80 ° C. The reaction can be performed under normal pressure, but may be performed under pressure.
[0018]
The reaction may be performed using only CPD-MAL and a catalyst, or a solvent such as hexane, pentane, acetic acid, benzene, or toluene may be used. The solvent is used in an amount of 0.1 to 20, preferably 0.5 to 18, by weight based on CPD-MAL. Further, water can be allowed to coexist in the reaction system as needed. Further, when performing the reaction, a reaction initiator such as acetaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde can be added as necessary.
[0019]
The step (III) of dissociating CPD-MAA into methacrylic acid and cyclopentadiene is achieved by thermally decomposing the CPD-MAA obtained in step (II). For the thermal decomposition, known means can be used. For example, CPD-MAA is introduced into a decomposition furnace heated to 100 to 400 ° C., preferably 150 to 380 ° C., and decomposed to obtain a target product.
[0020]
