The present invention relates to a method for producing oxocarboxylic acids. Adipaldehyde acid, which is a synthetically useful intermediate, is known as a representative compound of oxocarboxylic acids. Conventionally, this product has been produced by mixing cyclohexanone in the presence of water and a copper compound. , a method of oxidizing with molecular oxygen (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-26768) has been reported. However, this method
Both methods have the disadvantage that the yield of the target product is not high. On the other hand, the present inventors have discovered that adipaldehyde acid is rapidly produced when cyclohexanone is first subjected to an oxidation reaction in the presence of water and an iron or iridium compound. Subsequently, the present inventors continued to study in order to further increase the yield of the target product. As a result, the present inventors conducted an oxidation reaction with oxygen in the presence of water, an iron compound, and sulfur or a sulfur compound to cyclohexanone. The inventors have discovered that the yield of oxocarboxylic acids, including polyaldehyde acid, can be improved and have arrived at the present invention. The present invention will be explained in detail below. In the present invention, the following general formula () By oxidizing cyclohexanones represented by with oxygen in the presence of water, an iron compound, and sulfur and/or organic sulfur compounds, an oxocarboxylic acid represented by the following general formula () RCO (CH 2 ) 4 COOH ... () is obtained. Manufacture acids. R in the general formulas () and () have the same meaning and represent hydrogen or an alkyl group. The alkyl group is not particularly limited, but those having 6 or less carbon atoms are practically preferred. Preferably, the iron compound is one that is soluble in water.
Specific examples include inorganic acid salts such as ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, ferric bromide, ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, and ferric nitrate, or organic acids such as acetate. Examples include salt. It may also be one that dissolves in raw materials such as iron acetylacetonate. The amount of iron compound used can vary widely, but for example, 0.1 to 100 mol% iron relative to cyclohexanones,
More preferably, it is about 1 to 30 mol%. In the present invention, it is essential to use sulfur or organic sulfur compounds in addition to iron compounds. Specific examples include elemental sulfur, carbon disulfide, mercaptans such as ethyl mercaptan,
2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptoethylamine, 2-mercaptopyridine, 4-mercaptopyridine, thioglycolic acid, cysteine, etc., thiophenols such as thiophenol, thiocresol, p-nitrothiophenol, etc., sulfides such as diethyl sulfide. di, diphenyl sulfide, thiazolidine, methionine, etc., disulfides such as diphenyl disulfide, etc.
Thioamides such as thiourea and thioacetamide, sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfones such as diphenyl sulfone, thiocyanate esters such as ethyl thiocyanate, and other sulfonium compounds, thiuronium compounds, thiocarboxylic acids, dithiocarbamic acids, xanthogenic acids, etc. A wide range of compounds can be mentioned. The amount of these used is preferably about 0.1 to 100 mol%, more preferably about 5 to 100 mol% of sulfur, based on iron. In particular, it is preferable not to use more than the equivalent amount to iron. The presence of water is necessary to carry out the method of the present invention, and the amount used is 0.05 to 1000 times, more preferably 0.1 times, the weight of cyclohexanone.
It is best to set it to about twice to 100 times. Depending on the amount of water used, the reaction system can be either a homogeneous phase or a suspended phase, either of which is acceptable for carrying out the method of the present invention. Moreover, a solvent can also be used to promote homogenization of the reaction system. As the solvent, aprotic polar solvents such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran are preferred. The reaction temperature when carrying out this reaction can be varied over a fairly wide range, but for example, from 0°C to
The temperature is preferably about 200°C, more preferably about 30°C to 90°C. Although the reaction can proceed sufficiently at normal pressure,
It may also be pressurized. Pure oxygen may be used as the oxygen source, but it may also be used in a diluted form such as air. The conversion rate of cyclohexanones can be selected arbitrarily, but
At high conversion rates, excessive oxidation products tend to increase; for example, if the conversion rate is kept at 50% or less, the selectivity of the target oxocarboxylic acids becomes better. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following Examples unless the gist thereof is exceeded. Comparative example cyclohexanone 1g (10.2 mmol), water
10.6g, anhydrous ferric chloride 0.165g (1.02 mmol)
Heat the mixture to 60°C and, with vigorous stirring,
Oxygen was absorbed at normal pressure. The reaction was stopped when the amount of oxygen absorbed reached approximately 2 mmol, and the product was analyzed by gas chromatography. The results were as follows.
