【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法に関する。さらに詳しくは、高温でのトラクション係数が高く、かつ低温粘度特性に優れたトラクションドライブ用流体として有用性の高い不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車用トラクション式無段変速機(以下、CVTと略称することがある。)は、トルク伝達容量が大きく、また使用条件も過酷なため、このCVTに使用するトラクションドライブ用流体のトラクション係数は使用温度範囲での最高値、すなわち高温(140℃)でのトラクション係数がCVTの設計値よりも十分に高いことが必要である。また、寒冷地においては、自動車などの低温始動性を向上させるのため、−40℃でも低い粘度(15万mPa・s以下)を保持することのできる低温粘度特性が要求されている。さらに、高温での使用時には、高温時の基油の揮発防止性と、十分な油膜保持性が要求される。
【0003】
これら様々な実用性能を兼ね備えたトラクションドライブ用流体として、特開2000−17280号公報において、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの水素化物が提案されている。該公報において提案されている不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの水素化物は、高温におけるトラクション係数が高く保持されていると共に、低温粘度特性においても優れた特性を有することから、実用上優れたトラクションドライブ用流体であるが、この化合物の製造方法として、回分式の懸濁床方式によって行われており、原料の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの水素化反応終了後に、得られた水素化物と粉末状の触媒の分離のために濾過工程を必要としている。この濾過工程においては長時間を要することから、生産性の低下を招くという難点があった。
【0004】
さらに、このトラクションドライブ用流体は、過酷な条件のもとで長期間安定して使用できることが必要であり、そのためには、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの水素化転化率の高い高純度製品を、効率よく量産することのできる製造方法の開発が望まれている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、高温でのトラクション係数が高く、かつ低温粘度特性にも優れたトラクションドライブ用流体として有用性の高い不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物を、高い水素化転化率において効率よく製造する方法を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記の課題を解決するため種々検討を重ねた結果、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスとの反応を、固定床触媒を充填した流通型反応器を少なくとも2基直列に配置し、かつ上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持してある反応装置に流通させて連続水素化反応を行うことにより、上記の目的を達成することができることを見出し、これら知見に基づいて本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明の要旨は下記の通りである。
(1)不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物を製造するにあたり、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスを、固定床触媒を充填した流通型反応器を少なくとも2基直列に配置し、かつ上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持してある反応装置に流通させて連続水素化反応を行うことを特徴とする不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法。
(2)不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーが、2−メチレン−3−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、3−メチレン−2−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタンおよび2,3−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エンの群から選択される1種または2種以上のビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプタン環化合物のオリゴマーである前記(1)に記載の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法。
(3)不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーが、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体の二量体である前記(1)または(2)に記載の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法。
(4)不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスを、上流側反応器の触媒床温度を100℃〜250℃とし、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を150℃〜300℃とするとともに、上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持してある反応装置に流通させて連続水素化反応を行う前記(1)〜(3)のいずれかに記載の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物を製造するにあたり、不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスを、固定床触媒を充填した流通型反応器を少なくとも2基直列に配置し、かつ上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持してある反応装置に流通させて連続水素化反応を行う不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物の製造方法である。
【0009】
そして、本発明において水素化する原料の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーとしては、様々な化学構造を有するビシクロヘプタン環化合物を低重合して得られるオリゴマーを用いることができる。これらオリゴマーを製造するための原料オレフィンとしては、例えば、ビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレンビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプタン、2−メチルビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−3−メチルビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプタン、2,3−ジメチルビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−7−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,7−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−5−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,5−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−6−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,6−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−1−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、1,2−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−4−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,4−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−3,7−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,3,7−トリメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−3,6−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2−メチレン−3,3−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2,3,6−トリメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エン、2−メチレン−3−エチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、2−メチル−3−エチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エンなどが挙げられる。
【0010】
また、この低重合に用いる触媒としては酸触媒が好ましい。この酸触媒としては、例えば、フッ化水素酸、ポリリン酸などの鉱酸類、トリフリック酸などの有機酸、塩化アルミニウム,塩化第二鉄,四塩化スズ,四塩化チタン,三フッ化ホウ素,三フッ化ホウ素錯体,三臭化ホウ素,臭化アルミニウム,塩化ガリウム,臭化ガリウムなどのルイス酸、トリエチルアルミニウム,塩化ジエチルアルミニウム,二塩化エチルアルミニウムなどの有機アルミニウム化合物などが挙げられる。そして、これら酸触媒の中でも、三フッ化ホウ素,三フッ化ホウ素錯体,四塩化スズ,四塩化チタン,塩化アルミニウムなどのルイス酸触媒が、比較的に低い温度で低重合することができることから好ましい。さらに具体的には、三フッ化ホウ素ジエチルエーテル錯体,三フッ化ホウ素水錯体,三フッ化ホウ素アルコール錯体などが特に好ましい。これら触媒の使用量は、特に制限されないが、通常は原料化合物に対して0.1〜100質量%、好ましくは0.5〜20質量%の範囲である。
【0011】
また、この低重合反応においては、溶媒は必ずしも必要ではないが、反応時の原料化合物や触媒の取り扱いや反応の進行を調節するために用いてもよい。このような溶媒としては、各種ペンタン,各種ヘキサン,各種オクタン,各種ノナン,各種デカンなどの飽和炭化水素、シクロペンタン,シクロヘキサン,メチルシクロヘキサン,デカリンなどの脂環式炭化水素、ジエチルエーテル,テトラヒドロフランなどのエーテル化合物、塩化メチレン,ジクロルエタンなどのハロゲン含有化合物、ニトロメタン,ニトロベンゼンなどのニトロ化合物などを用いることができる。
【0012】
さらに、この低重合反応を行う際の反応温度は、60℃以下、好ましくは40℃以下である。また、反応圧力は常圧が好ましく、反応時間は0.5〜10時間が好ましい。
【0013】
本発明においては、上記のようにして得られた不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーを触媒の存在下に、水素ガスを反応させて不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物を製造する。
【0014】
この水素化反応において用いる触媒としては、ケイソウ土,アルミナ,シリカアルミナ,活性炭などの無機酸化物担体にニッケル,ルテニウム,パラジウム,白金,ロジウム,イリジウムなどの金属を担持した水素化触媒が好適に用いられる。これら触媒のなかでも、ニッケル/ケイソウ土,ニッケル/シリカアルミナなどのニッケル系触媒が好ましい。また、必要に応じて用いる助触媒としては、ゼオライト,シリカアルミナ,活性白土などの固体酸が挙げられる。
【0015】
これら触媒や助触媒は、流通型の反応器の内部に充填し固定する。ここで用いる反応器の形状は、特に制約はなく、一般に用いられている固定床流通型の槽型や管型の反応器を用いることができる。また、触媒や助触媒は、顆粒状またはペレット状であるものが好ましく、その粒径は、1〜10mmの範囲であるものが好適に用いられる。
【0016】
そして、この水素化反応を行うにあたっては、原料の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスを、触媒や助触媒を充填した固定床流通型の反応器を少なくとも2基直列に配置し、かつ上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持してある反応装置に流通させて連続水素化反応を行う。ここでの水素化反応は発熱反応であることから、直列に配置する各反応器の間に熱交換器を介して反応器の接続をすることにより、反応温度の制御を行うようにするのがよい。そして、これら反応器は、少なくとも2基を直列に配置するが、3基以上の反応器を用いる場合には、これら反応器を全て直列に配置してもよいし、またその一部を並列に配置してもよい。このように、3基以上の反応器を用いる場合においては、最上流の反応器の触媒床温度に対して、最下流に位置する反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度に保持して、連続水素化反応を行うようにするのがよい。そして、これら反応器の基数は、設備費や用役費、反応制御性などの面から、2〜5基とするのがより好ましい。
【0017】
つぎに、この水素化反応の条件については、例えば、反応器を2基直列に配置する場合には、上流側反応器の触媒床温度を100〜250℃、好ましくは120〜220℃とし、下流反応器の触媒床温度を150〜300℃、好ましくは220〜280℃の範囲において、上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃、好ましくは30〜150℃高い温度に保持するのがよい。上流側反応器の触媒床温度については、これが100℃未満であると、この水素化反応が十分に進行しないことがあり、また下流反応器の触媒床温度については、これが300℃を超えると、原料の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの分解反応や重質化を招くようになることがあるからである。また、上流側反応器の触媒床温度に対して、下流側反応器の触媒床温度を20〜200℃高い温度とするのは、この昇温幅が20℃未満であると得られる製品の水素化転化率が十分に高められないことがあり、また、この昇温幅が200℃を超えると原料の分解や重質化などを招き、製品の収率が低下するおそれが大きくなるからである。
【0018】
また、この水素化反応を行う際の反応圧力については、0.1〜20MPa、好ましくは0.5〜10MPaの加圧下に行うのがよい。そして、反応時間については、質量空間速度(WHSV)が0.05〜10hr-1、好ましくは0.1〜5hr-1となるように、原料を供給するのがよい。さらに、この水素化反応を行う際の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーに対する水素ガスの供給割合については、この不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーの理論水素吸収量(化学量論比)に対して、その0.1〜10倍、好ましくは1〜5倍とするのがよい。
【0019】
さらに、この水素化反応においては、原料の不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマーと水素ガスは、上流側反応器に下向き並流で流通させるようにするのがよく、この場合の水素ガス供給量は、理論水素吸収量に近い量としても充分に水素化反応を完結することができることから、一般的に行われる水素化反応におけるように大過剰の水素ガスを供給する必要はない。したがって、反応器出口からの未反応水素ガスの回収設備を簡略化することができる。
【0020】
また、この水素化反応においては、反応溶媒を用いてもよいし、無溶媒でもよい。この反応溶媒としては、各種ペンタン,各種ヘキサン,各種オクタン,各種ノナン,各種デカンなどの液状の飽和炭化水素や、シクロペンタン,シクロヘキサン,メチルシクロヘキサン,デカリンなどの脂環式炭化水素を用いてもよい。さらに、この反応での生成液の一部をリサイクルして原料を希釈して供給してもよく、また、水素ガスについても、窒素ガスなどの不活性ガスを混合して希釈したものを使用してもよい。
【0021】
このようにして、種々の化学構造を有する不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体オリゴマー水素化物を得ることができるのであるが、それらの中でもビシクロ〔2,2,1〕ヘプタン環構造を有する化合物が好ましく、さらに具体的には、2−メチレン−3−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタン、3−メチレン−2−メチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプタンまたは2,3−ジメチルビシクロ〔2.2.1〕ヘプト−2−エンから選択される1種または2種以上の混合物のオリゴマー、ことに二量体を水素化したものが特に好ましい。それは、これら化合物をトラクションドライブ用流体として用いた場合に、高温におけるトラクション係数が高く、しかも低温粘度特性にも格別に優れた特性を示すからである。
【0022】

つぎに、本発明を実施例および比較例により、さらに具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれら実施例に限定されるものではない。

【0028】
ついで、このようにして触媒床を形成した反応器2基を直列に連結し、上流側の反応器の触媒床の温度を175℃に保持し、下流側の反応器の触媒床の温度を230℃に保持して、上記(2)で得られた不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体の二量体と水素ガスを、上流側の反応器の上端から下向きに並流で触媒床に供給し、反応器内圧力3MPa、質量空間速度(WHSV)0.5hr-1、水素ガス:不飽和ビシクロヘプタン誘導体二量体=2:1(モル比)の反応条件で水素化反応を行い、生成物を下流側の反応器の下端から連続的に抜き出した。なお、ここでの水素ガスの供給量は、化学量論比の2倍に相当する。
【0029】

Moreover, an acid catalyst is preferable as the catalyst used for the low polymerization. Examples of the acid catalyst include mineral acids such as hydrofluoric acid and polyphosphoric acid, organic acids such as triflic acid, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride, boron trifluoride, and trifluoride. Examples include boron halide complexes, Lewis acids such as boron tribromide, aluminum bromide, gallium chloride, and gallium bromide, and organic aluminum compounds such as triethylaluminum, diethylaluminum chloride, and ethylaluminum dichloride. Among these acid catalysts, Lewis acid catalysts such as boron trifluoride, boron trifluoride complex, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride, and aluminum chloride are preferable because they can be polymerized at a relatively low temperature. . More specifically, boron trifluoride diethyl ether complex, boron trifluoride water complex, boron trifluoride alcohol complex and the like are particularly preferable. Although the usage-amount of these catalysts is not restrict | limited in particular, Usually, it is 0.1-100 mass% with respect to a raw material compound, Preferably it is the range of 0.5-20 mass%.
[0011]
In this low polymerization reaction, a solvent is not always necessary, but it may be used to control the handling of raw material compounds and catalysts during the reaction and the progress of the reaction. Examples of such solvents include saturated hydrocarbons such as various pentanes, various hexanes, various octanes, various nonanes, and various decanes, alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and decalin, diethyl ether, and tetrahydrofuran. Ether compounds, halogen-containing compounds such as methylene chloride and dichloroethane, and nitro compounds such as nitromethane and nitrobenzene can be used.
[0012]
Furthermore, the reaction temperature for carrying out this low polymerization reaction is 60 ° C. or lower, preferably 40 ° C. or lower. The reaction pressure is preferably normal pressure, and the reaction time is preferably 0.5 to 10 hours.
[0013]
In the present invention, the unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer obtained as described above is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to produce an unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer hydride.
[0014]
As the catalyst used in this hydrogenation reaction, a hydrogenation catalyst in which a metal such as nickel, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, or iridium is supported on an inorganic oxide carrier such as diatomaceous earth, alumina, silica alumina, or activated carbon is preferably used. It is done. Among these catalysts, nickel-based catalysts such as nickel / diatomaceous earth and nickel / silica alumina are preferable. Moreover, as a co-catalyst used as needed, solid acids, such as a zeolite, silica alumina, activated clay, are mentioned.
[0015]
These catalysts and cocatalysts are filled and fixed inside the flow reactor. The shape of the reactor used here is not particularly limited, and a generally used fixed bed flow tank type or tube type reactor can be used. Further, the catalyst and the cocatalyst are preferably in the form of granules or pellets, and those having a particle size in the range of 1 to 10 mm are suitably used.
[0016]
In carrying out this hydrogenation reaction, at least two fixed-bed flow reactors in which raw material unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer and hydrogen gas are packed with a catalyst and a cocatalyst are arranged in series, and the upstream side A continuous hydrogenation reaction is carried out by passing the catalyst bed temperature of the downstream reactor through a reactor maintained at a temperature 20 to 200 ° C. higher than the catalyst bed temperature of the reactor. Since the hydrogenation reaction here is an exothermic reaction, the reaction temperature is controlled by connecting the reactors via a heat exchanger between the reactors arranged in series. Good. And these reactors arrange | position at least 2 units | sets in series, but when using 3 or more reactors, you may arrange | position all these reactors in series, and the one part is parallelly arranged. You may arrange. Thus, in the case of using three or more reactors, the catalyst bed temperature of the reactor located downstream is maintained at a temperature 20 to 200 ° C. higher than the catalyst bed temperature of the most upstream reactor. Thus, it is preferable to perform a continuous hydrogenation reaction. The number of these reactors is more preferably 2 to 5 from the viewpoints of equipment cost, utility cost, reaction controllability, and the like.
[0017]
Next, regarding the conditions for this hydrogenation reaction, for example, when two reactors are arranged in series, the catalyst bed temperature of the upstream reactor is 100 to 250 ° C., preferably 120 to 220 ° C. When the catalyst bed temperature of the reactor is in the range of 150 to 300 ° C., preferably 220 to 280 ° C., the catalyst bed temperature of the downstream reactor is 20 to 200 ° C. with respect to the catalyst bed temperature of the upstream reactor, preferably It is good to hold | maintain 30-150 degreeC high temperature. When the catalyst bed temperature of the upstream reactor is less than 100 ° C., the hydrogenation reaction may not proceed sufficiently. When the catalyst bed temperature of the downstream reactor exceeds 300 ° C., This is because the raw material unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer may be decomposed or become heavier. Moreover, the catalyst bed temperature of the downstream reactor is set to a temperature 20 to 200 ° C. higher than the catalyst bed temperature of the upstream reactor because the temperature rise range is less than 20 ° C. This is because the conversion rate may not be sufficiently increased, and if the temperature rise exceeds 200 ° C., the raw material is decomposed or made heavy, and the yield of the product is likely to decrease. .
[0018]
Moreover, about the reaction pressure at the time of performing this hydrogenation reaction, it is good to carry out under pressure of 0.1-20 Mpa, Preferably it is 0.5-10 Mpa. And about reaction time, it is good to supply a raw material so that mass space velocity (WHSV) may be 0.05-10 hr < -1 >, Preferably it is 0.1-5 hr < -1 >. Further, the hydrogen gas supply ratio with respect to the unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer during the hydrogenation reaction is less than the theoretical hydrogen absorption amount (stoichiometric ratio) of the unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer. 1 to 10 times, preferably 1 to 5 times.
[0019]
Further, in this hydrogenation reaction, the raw material unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer and hydrogen gas should be allowed to flow in the upstream reactor in a parallel downward flow. Since the hydrogenation reaction can be completed sufficiently even when the amount is close to the amount of hydrogen absorption, it is not necessary to supply a large excess of hydrogen gas as in a commonly performed hydrogenation reaction. Therefore, the facility for recovering unreacted hydrogen gas from the reactor outlet can be simplified.
[0020]
In this hydrogenation reaction, a reaction solvent may be used or no solvent may be used. As the reaction solvent, liquid saturated hydrocarbons such as various pentanes, various hexanes, various octanes, various nonanes, and various decanes, and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and decalin may be used. . Furthermore, a part of the product liquid in this reaction may be recycled and supplied by diluting the raw material. Also, hydrogen gas diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas is used. May be.
[0021]
In this way, unsaturated bicycloheptane derivative oligomer hydrides having various chemical structures can be obtained. Among them, compounds having a bicyclo [2,2,1] heptane ring structure are preferred, and more specifically, Specifically, 2-methylene-3-methylbicyclo [2.2.1] heptane, 3-methylene-2-methylbicyclo [2.2.1] heptane or 2,3-dimethylbicyclo [2.2.1]. Particularly preferred are oligomers of one or a mixture of two or more selected from hept-2-ene, especially those obtained by hydrogenating dimers. This is because when these compounds are used as a traction drive fluid, the traction coefficient at high temperatures is high, and the low-temperature viscosity characteristics are particularly excellent.
