【0015】
反応に用いるアルコールとしては、炭素数1〜4で、具体的にはメタノール、エタノール、n−プロパノール、イソプロパノール、n−ブタノール、sec−ブタノール、tert−ブタノール等が挙げられる。アルコールの使用量は、原料の1−アルコキシ−2,4−ジニトロベンゼン(ADNB)に対して1当量以上、溶媒を兼ねて使用することができる。通常は原料のADNBに対して2〜20重量倍程度使用する。
【0016】
反応に用いる酸としては、酸が硫酸、塩酸、燐酸、蟻酸、酢酸、プロピオン酸及びメタスルホン酸の中ら選ばれた少なくとも1種の酸が使用できる。これらの酸の中で特には、硫酸が好ましい。酸の濃度は、20〜100重量%(80〜0重量%:水)が好ましく、その使用量は、原料のADNBに対して0.5〜10当量が好ましい。
【0017】
反応に用いる還元触媒としては、ニッケル、コバルト、鉄、パラジウム、ロジウム、ルテニウム、白金等の第VIII族の金属単身あるいは炭素、アルミナ、シリカ、ゼオライト及びその他の担体に担持した触媒が使用できる。これらの触媒の中で特に白金−炭素及びパラジウム−炭素の担持触媒が好ましい。触媒の使用量は、原料のADNBに対して1〜5%金属−担持触媒として0.1〜30重量%が好ましい。水素圧は大気圧から10kg/cm2 程度で反応は進行するが、特には1〜3Kg/cm2 が好ましい。
【0018】
本反応では、ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)を加えることにより目的物の選択率を上げることができる。その添加量は原料のADNBに対して0.1〜10重量%が好ましい。
反応温度は、0℃〜150℃で可能であるが、好ましくは20〜120℃の範囲が良い。反応時間は水素吸収量から決定することができる。反応は回分あるいは連続でも行うことが出来る。
【0019】
反応終了後の後処理は、例えば以下の様にして行うことが出来る。即ち、反応終了後の反応液をろ過し触媒を回収した後、ろ液を濃縮し、必要ならば水を加えてpH7〜8まで中和する。この中和液に酢酸エチルまたは1,2−ジクロロエタンを加えて抽出し、油層を濃縮する。得られた粗物を再結晶又はカラムクロマトグラフィーで精製することにより目的とする1,3−ジアミノ−4,6−ジアルコキシベンゼンの単品が得られる。

【実施例】
実施例1
2,4−ジニトロアニソール1.98g(10ミリモル)、メタノール15.2g、76重量%硫酸(97重量%硫酸2.5g+水0.7g)及び2%白金/炭素0.05gを100mlオートクレーブに仕込み、水素圧2kg/cm2 、50℃で3時間攪拌した。
【0022】
反応後、室温に戻し脱圧した後、反応物を取り出した。反応液中の触媒をろ過により除いてから、濃縮すると黒色結晶2.3gが得られた。この結晶は、液体クロマトグラフィー(LC)分析の結果、主に2成分からなることが判った。この結晶を中和後、酢酸エチルで抽出してから、シリカゲルによるカラムクロマトグラフィーをかけ両成分を分離した。これらのMASS及び 1H−NMRで分析した結果、主成分は、1,3−ジアミノ−4,6−ジメトキシベンゼン(DADMB)であり、副生成物は、2,4−ジアミノアニソール(DAA)であることが判った。

The manufacturing method of 1,3-diamino-4,6-dialkoxybenzene represented by these, and its salt.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0014]
First, R of the 1-alkoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene represented by the general formula [I] as a raw material of the present invention is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, specifically, 1-methoxy-di- Nitrobenzene, 1-ethoxy-dinitrobenzene, 1-n-propoxy-dinitrobenzene, 1-isopropoxy-dinitrobenzene, 1-n-butoxy-dinitrobenzene, 1-sec-butoxy-dinitrobenzene, 1-tert-butoxy- Dinitrobenzene is mentioned. These compounds can be easily obtained by reacting 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with a corresponding alcohol in the presence of a base.
[0015]
As alcohol used for reaction, it is C1-C4, Specifically, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol etc. are mentioned. The amount of alcohol used may be 1 equivalent or more with respect to 1-alkoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene (ADNB) as a raw material, and also serve as a solvent. Usually, it is used in an amount of about 2 to 20 times the weight of the raw material ADNB.
[0016]
As the acid used for the reaction, at least one acid selected from sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and metasulfonic acid can be used. Of these acids, sulfuric acid is particularly preferable. The concentration of the acid is preferably 20 to 100% by weight (80 to 0% by weight: water), and the amount used is preferably 0.5 to 10 equivalents relative to the raw material ADNB.
[0017]
As a reduction catalyst used in the reaction, a single group VIII metal such as nickel, cobalt, iron, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, platinum, or a catalyst supported on carbon, alumina, silica, zeolite, and other supports can be used. Of these catalysts, platinum-carbon and palladium-carbon supported catalysts are particularly preferred. The amount of the catalyst used is preferably 0.1 to 30% by weight as a metal-supported catalyst of 1 to 5% with respect to the raw material ADNB. Hydrogen pressure is the reaction at 10 kg / cm 2 approximately from atmospheric pressure to proceed, particularly preferably 1 to 3 kg / cm 2.
[0018]
In this reaction, the selectivity of the target product can be increased by adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The addition amount is preferably 0.1 to 10% by weight with respect to ADNB as a raw material.
The reaction temperature can be 0 ° C. to 150 ° C., preferably 20 to 120 ° C. The reaction time can be determined from the amount of hydrogen absorbed. The reaction can be carried out batchwise or continuously.
[0019]
Post-treatment after completion of the reaction can be performed, for example, as follows. That is, after completion of the reaction, the reaction solution is filtered to recover the catalyst, and then the filtrate is concentrated, and if necessary, neutralized to pH 7-8 by adding water. The neutralized solution is extracted with ethyl acetate or 1,2-dichloroethane, and the oil layer is concentrated. The target crude 1,3-diamino-4,6-dialkoxybenzene is obtained by refining the resulting crude product by recrystallization or column chromatography.
[0020]
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention further in detail, this invention is not limited by these.
[0021]
【Example】
Example 1
A 100 ml autoclave was charged with 1.98 g (10 mmol) of 2,4-dinitroanisole, 15.2 g of methanol, 76 wt% sulfuric acid (2.5 g of 97 wt% sulfuric acid + 0.7 g of water) and 0.05 g of 2% platinum / carbon. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 50 ° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 2 kg / cm 2 .
[0022]
After the reaction, the reaction product was taken out after returning to room temperature and depressurizing. The catalyst in the reaction solution was removed by filtration and then concentrated to obtain 2.3 g of black crystals. As a result of liquid chromatography (LC) analysis, this crystal was found to consist mainly of two components. The crystals were neutralized, extracted with ethyl acetate, and then subjected to column chromatography on silica gel to separate both components. As a result of analysis by these MASS and 1 H-NMR, the main component is 1,3-diamino-4,6-dimethoxybenzene (DADMB), and the by-product is 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAA). It turns out that there is.
[0023]
As a result of quantitative determination of the crude crystals, the yield of DADMB was 51% and the DAA yield was 42%.
[0024]
Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Example 1
The same procedure as in Example 1 was performed except that the conditions shown in Table 1 were changed. The results are also shown in Table 1.
