【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、医薬、農薬等の中間体として有用な3,3−ジメチルシクロプロパン−1,2−ジカルボン酸無水物(以下、酸無水物と略する。)の精製方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、酸無水物を反応で得られた未精製物から精製する方法として例えば、1−メチル−2−ピロリジノンを反応溶媒として用いた場合には減圧下(1mmHg)に回転バンド塔を用いて1−メチル−2−ピロリジノンを精留により留去させる方法(特許文献1参照。)、また未精製物に水と活性炭を加えて100℃以上で加熱処理した後、不溶物をろ過し、水を減圧下に除去した後再度無水物化する方法(特許文献2、非特許文献1参照。)等が知られている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来法において、前者の反応溶媒である1−メチル−2−ピロリジノンを精留により除去する方法は、目的物である酸無水物と1−メチル−2−ピロリジノンの沸点が近く回転バンド塔などの特殊な分離装置が必要であり、かつ精留残渣に目的物を残すため必ずしも精製が充分なものとはいい難い方法である。さらに、反応後の粗生成物は酸性状態であるため酸無水物が熱的に不安定であり酸無水物自体の蒸留精製が困難な方法である。
また、後者の活性炭処理を行う方法ではタール化、高分子量化した成分などは除去可能であるが、1−メチル−2−ピロリジノンなどの高沸点、親水性溶媒を分離することはできないといった問題点があり、いずれも酸無水物の精製方法としては必ずしも充分に満足できるものではなかった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned conventional method, the former method of removing 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, which is a reaction solvent, by rectification is a method in which the boiling points of the target acid anhydride and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone are close to each other. This is a method that requires a special separation apparatus and is not necessarily sufficiently purified because the target product remains in the rectification residue. Furthermore, since the crude product after the reaction is in an acidic state, the acid anhydride is thermally unstable, and it is difficult to distill and purify the acid anhydride itself.
In addition, although the latter activated carbon treatment can remove tarized and high molecular weight components, it has a problem that it cannot separate high-boiling and hydrophilic solvents such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. None of these methods were sufficiently satisfactory as a method for purifying acid anhydrides.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
When this inventor earnestly examined the industrially advantageous refinement | purification method of the 3, 3- dimethylcyclo propane- 1, 2- dicarboxylic acid anhydride shown by following formula (1), formula (1) obtained by reaction was obtained. The unpurified product containing 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride represented by formula (2) is hydrolyzed and converted into a salt of dicarboxylic acid represented by formula (2), which is converted into water. By treating with an acylating agent the dicarboxylic acid represented by the formula (3) obtained by removing the unnecessary components by dissolving in water and washing with an organic solvent insoluble in water and then treating with an acid. The present inventors have found that a high-purity acid anhydride can be obtained by converting again to 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride represented by the formula (1).
This purification operation improves the thermal stability of the acid anhydride, and yields a high-purity acid anhydride with a high yield when performing operations such as distillation for further purification.
That is, the present invention provides the formula (1)

The dicarboxylic acid represented by the formula (3) is reacted with an acylating agent, and the 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride represented by the formula (1) is obtained. The present invention provides a method for purifying an acid anhydride characterized by obtaining a product.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An unpurified product of 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (hereinafter abbreviated as anhydride (1)) represented by the formula (1) which is a starting material of the present invention is disclosed in, for example, a patent. Although it can obtain by the method of literature 1, the method of the manufacture example 1, etc., it is not limited to these. These unpurified products contain, for example, acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and acetic acid, hydrophilic solvents having a high boiling point such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, or tarred components as impurities.
[0007]
The crude anhydride (1) is 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid represented by the formula (3) by hydrolysis with water (hereinafter abbreviated as dicarboxylic acid (3)). Is converted into a salt of a dicarboxylic acid represented by the general formula (2) (hereinafter abbreviated as dicarboxylic acid salts (2)) with an inorganic base. Alternatively, the dicarboxylic acid salts (2) can be derived directly by hydrolysis using an aqueous solution of an inorganic base.
[0008]
The amount of water used for the hydrolysis is usually 0.2 to 50 times by weight, preferably 0.5 to 10 times by weight with respect to the anhydride (1).
[0009]
Examples of the inorganic base include alkali metal hydroxides such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates such as lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and calcium carbonate, hydrogen carbonate Examples thereof include alkali metal hydrogen carbonates such as sodium and potassium hydrogen carbonate, and alkali metal hydroxides are preferably used.
The amount of the base used is usually 1 mole or more, preferably 1 to 2 moles relative to the anhydride (1), in addition to the amount for neutralizing the acid excluding the anhydride (1) contained in the crude product. The range is about double. When the anhydride (1) is hydrolyzed, it becomes a dicarboxylic acid, and the base needs to be more than the amount that neutralizes the monocarboxylic acid. When the amount of acid in the unpurified product is unknown, the amount of inorganic base used can be determined by the pH of the reaction solution. Such pH is usually 7 or more, preferably in the range of 7-9.
Such a base is usually used as an aqueous solution, but if water is present in the reaction solution, a solid can also be used.
[0010]
The reaction temperature for the hydrolysis is usually 0 to 100 ° C, preferably 20 to 80 ° C.
The reaction time is not particularly limited as long as the anhydride (1) as a raw material disappears, but it is usually 0.5 hours or longer.
[0011]
An organic solvent that can be separated from this solution is added to the aqueous solution of the obtained dicarboxylate (2), mixed, washed, and separated into high-boiling hydrophilic substances such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, which is a neutral component. An organic solvent or the like can be removed from the organic layer. The washing and liquid separation operations may be performed a plurality of times until the remaining amount of the removable component in the aqueous layer is reduced to a desired amount.
[0012]
Examples of the organic solvent include ester solvents such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene, xylene, and chlorobenzene, aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as pentane, hexane, heptane, and cyclohexane, dichloromethane, Halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloroethane and carbon tetrachloride, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, t-butyl methyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, ketone solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone, acetonitrile, Examples thereof include nitrile solvents such as propionitrile. These can be used alone or in admixture of two or more. Preferably, a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran or the like is used.
[0013]
The amount of the organic solvent used is usually 0.5 to 50 times by weight, preferably 1 to 20 times by weight, relative to the anhydride (1) per washing operation.
[0014]
In the case where separation becomes difficult due to precipitation of insoluble components during washing and liquid separation operations, separation can be facilitated by removing the insoluble components by filtration. In this case, a filter aid can also be used. Further, such a filtration operation can be carried out at any stage before adding the inorganic base used to obtain the dicarboxylic acid salts (2), during the process of adding the total amount of use, or after the addition.
[0015]

[0016]
After washing with an organic solvent, an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or the like is added to the resulting solution containing the dicarboxylic acid salts (2) for salt decomposition, leading to dicarboxylic acid (3), By extracting the dicarboxylic acid (3) into the organic layer using a liquid-separable organic solvent, the acid component contained in the unpurified anhydride (1) as a starting material can be removed.
[0017]
The amount of the inorganic acid used in the salt decomposition is determined by the pH of the solution, and the pH is usually 0 to 6, preferably 1 to 3.
[0018]
Examples of the organic solvent used for extraction of the dicarboxylic acid (3) include ester solvents such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene, xylene and chlorobenzene, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride and the like. Examples thereof include halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether and t-butyl methyl ether, and ketone solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone.

[0019]
The amount of the organic solvent used is usually 0.5 to 50 times by weight, preferably 1 to 20 times by weight, relative to the anhydride (1) per washing operation.
[0020]
When separation becomes difficult due to precipitation of insoluble components during the separation operation, separation can be facilitated by removing the insoluble components by filtration. In this case, a filter aid can also be used.
[0021]
The obtained organic layer containing the dicarboxylic acid (3) may be used for subsequent reactions, or may be concentrated to take out the dicarboxylic acid (3) once. Further, it may be further purified by recrystallization, silica gel column chromatography or the like.

Can be mentioned. Examples of such a poor solvent include aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, heptane, and cyclohexane.
[0022]
The obtained dicarboxylic acid (3) can be easily derived into the anhydride (1) by adding an acylating agent such as acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride and heating, and acetylation as a reaction reagent after completion of the reaction. The desired high-purity anhydride (1) can be obtained simply by removing the agent and acids such as acetic acid and hydrochloric acid produced by the reaction by concentration or the like.
[0023]
The amount of the acylating agent used is usually 1 to 10 mol times, preferably 2 to 5 mol times based on the dicarboxylic acid (3).
[0024]
The reaction temperature is usually 20 to 150 ° C, preferably 50 to 120 ° C.
The reaction time is not particularly limited as long as the dicarboxylic acid (3) as a raw material is reduced to a desired amount, but it is usually 0.5 hours or longer.
[0025]
The anhydride (1) thus obtained can be further purified by further operations such as distillation and recrystallization.
[0026]
Distillation can be carried out under normal pressure or reduced pressure, and simpler distillation can easily obtain a higher purity anhydride (3).
[0027]
Examples of the recrystallization method include a method of heating and dissolving in the solvent used for extraction of the dicarboxylic acid (3) and then crystallizing by cooling, or a method of adding a poor solvent after dissolving in the solvent used for extraction. And the like. Examples of such a poor solvent include aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, heptane, and cyclohexane.
