(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for producing hydantoin, and more particularly, to a method for producing highly pure hydantoin without coloring at a high yield. (Prior art) It has been known for a long time that α-amino acids can be obtained by condensing hydantoin with various aldehydes. The substituted hydantoins used and into which substituents have been introduced are compounds useful as agricultural chemicals, medicines, or intermediate raw materials for their production. There is already a method for producing hydantoin by subjecting glycolonitrile to carbon dioxide gas and ammonia, or glycolonitrile and ammonium carbonate or ammonium bicarbonate to a heated reaction in a closed container, and then treating the resulting reaction solution with an acid. It is known (for example, Special Publication No. 39-24807). Methods for decolorizing and purifying hydantoin after this acid treatment include a recrystallization method and an activated carbon method. However, the recrystallization method involves a large number of steps, is complicated to operate, has a poor product yield, and cannot easily produce white crystals.
Furthermore, in the conventional activated carbon method, it is necessary to carry out decolorization and purification at high temperatures for a long time to prevent crystals from precipitating in the acid-treated solution, resulting in a decrease in yield. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present inventors have earnestly investigated a method that can improve the drawbacks of the prior art, maintain the yield obtained in the reaction, and achieve decolorization and purification. did. As a result, it was discovered that when the heating time or heating temperature of the acid treatment is long or the heating temperature is high, hydantoin is hydrolyzed and glycine is produced as a by-product, and the present invention has been achieved. (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has made it possible to suppress the by-product of glycine due to the decomposition of hydantoin during acid treatment and to obtain high-purity hydantoin in good yield. . That is, the present invention provides a method for producing hydantoin by reacting glycolonitrile with carbon dioxide and ammonia, which is characterized in that the reaction product liquid obtained by the reaction is treated with activated carbon in addition to acid treatment. This is the manufacturing method. In the method of the present invention, the reaction for producing hydantoin is performed by mixing glycolonitrile with an excess of the theoretical amount, preferably 2 to 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide, and an aqueous solution of ammonia, ammonium carbonate, or ammonium bicarbonate, preferably 50 to 150 It is carried out by heating at a temperature of 80°C to 120°C, more preferably 80 to 120°C. The reaction time varies depending on the reaction temperature, but usually
It is 0.25 to 6 hours. The reaction product solution obtained in this way usually involves the production of hydantoin as well as by-products of its intermediates, hydantoic acid and hydantoic acid amide. Therefore, the reaction product solution is treated with an acid to remove the intermediates. Converted to hydantoin. The method of the present invention is characterized in that the reaction product liquid containing hydantoin and by-produced hydantoic acid and hydantoic acid amide from the above reaction is treated with an acid in combination with activated carbon treatment. That is, performing acid treatment together with activated carbon treatment in the method of the present invention means that both treatments proceed substantially simultaneously, unlike conventional methods in which the reaction product liquid is treated with acid and then further treated with activated carbon. It is something. For example, acid treatment is carried out in a batch manner in the presence of activated carbon, such as adding activated carbon to the reaction product liquid, and continuous acid treatment is performed in a column filled with activated carbon. One example is the processing of expressions. The acid used in such a method is a mineral acid or an organic acid, and mineral acids include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., and organic acids include benzenesulfonic acid,
Examples include toluenesulfonic acid. The amount of acid used is not particularly limited, but the concentration in the reaction product solution is usually 10 to 30% by weight. The treatment temperature is preferably 70 to 110°C, more preferably 80 to 100°C. There are no particular limitations on the pressure of the treatment, and the treatment can usually be carried out under normal pressure. The treatment time is not limited either, and 2 to 4 hours is usually sufficient. Activated carbon treatment is also carried out in such acid treatment. The activated carbon to be used may be one commonly used for decolorizing, and commercially available products from various companies can be used. The activated carbon treatment carried out in conjunction with the acid treatment may be carried out by any method, such as a column type or a batch type.
A tower type is preferable from the operational point of view. (Action and Effect of the Invention) By performing acid treatment of the reaction product liquid together with activated carbon treatment, decolorization and purification proceed simultaneously with the conversion of by-products hydantoic acid and hydantoic acid amide to hydantoin. The method of the present invention suppresses the decomposition of the target hydantoin in the reaction product solution by shortening the exposure time to high temperatures.
High purity white hydantoin is obtained in high yield. The method of the present invention is excellent as an industrial hydantoin production method with improved productivity. (Example) The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to Examples.
Note that the chromaticity in the Examples was measured by the following method. Add and dissolve 2.49 g of potassium chloroplatinate (K 2 ptcl 6 ), 2.0 g of crystalline cobalt chloride (Cocl 2.6H 2 O) and 200 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and then dilute to 1 with water. The absorbance of this liquid at a wavelength of 370 μm was measured using a colorimeter and was defined as 1000 degrees, and the chromaticity of this liquid diluted 10 times was defined as 100 degrees. Example 1 150.9 g of ammonium bicarbonate was placed in a glass pressure-resistant reaction vessel with an internal volume of 1000 ml, equipped with a stirring device.
38.5 g of 28.10% ammonia aqueous solution and 510.6 g of pure water were charged and heated to 100°C. When the temperature reached 100°C, 72.6 g of 50% by weight glycolonitrile was introduced over 1 hour. 95% sulfuric acid was added to the solution (chromaticity 886) which was reacted for 1 hour after the introduction and concentrated to 40% by weight under reduced pressure so that the sulfuric acid concentration was 15% by weight, and acid treatment was started at 90°C for 1 hour. After that (chromaticity 526), the liquid was passed through an activated carbon bed filled with CAL (trade name) manufactured by Toyo Calgon Co., Ltd. in a column with a length of 150 mm and a diameter of 15 mm that had been preheated at 90°C for 2 hours, followed by decolorization and purification. , white hydantoin
58.6g (yield 92%) was obtained. The chromaticity of the liquid after passing through activated carbon was 246. Table these results.
Shown in 1. Example 2, Comparative Example 1 Ammonium bicarbonate was prepared using the same equipment as in Example 1.
150.9g, 28.10% ammonia aqueous solution 38.5g, pure water
510.6g was charged and heated to 100℃. When the temperature reached 100℃, add 72.6g of 50% by weight glycolonitrile to 1
It took time to send it. After feeding, react for 1 hour and concentrate to 40% by weight under reduced pressure (chromaticity 877) to 95%.
Add sulfuric acid so that the sulfuric acid concentration is 15% by weight90
The temperature was raised to ℃. Thereafter, it was passed through an activated carbon bed prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 for decolorization and purification. On the other hand, the above-mentioned acid treatment was carried out for 3 hours, and after the acid treatment had been sufficiently completed, the pieces were passed through the activated carbon layer in the same manner.
The results are shown in Table-1. If only acid treatment is carried out for a long time as in Comparative Example 1, glycine is produced due to the decomposition of hydantoin.
Although white crystals are obtained by subsequent treatment with activated carbon, the yield of hydantoin is reduced. Reference Examples 1 to 3 150.9 g of ammonium bicarbonate was placed in a pressure-resistant reaction vessel made of glass with an internal volume of 1000 ml and equipped with a stirring device.
38.5 g of 28.10% ammonia aqueous solution and 510.6 g of pure water were charged and heated to 100°C. When the temperature reached 100°C, 72.6 g of 50% by weight glycolonitrile was introduced over 1 hour. After feeding, the solution was reacted for 1 hour and concentrated to 40% by weight under reduced pressure (chromaticity: 886). 95% sulfuric acid was added so that the sulfuric acid concentration was 15% by weight, and acid treatment was started at 90°C.
