[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a method for producing acetylacetone by vapor phase thermal transformation of isopropenyl acetate. [Prior art and problems] Methods for producing acetylacetone include a method of reacting acetic anhydride and acetoacetate, a method of reacting acetone and acetic anhydride, a method of condensing acetone and ethyl acetate, and a method of reacting acetone with ketone. Examples include a method of thermally transferring isopropenyl acetate obtained by. Among these, a method of thermally rearranging isopropenyl acetate using isopropenyl acetate as a raw material is considered to be advantageous from the viewpoint of raw material cost or carbon balance. A method for producing acetylacetone by thermal rearrangement of isopropenyl acetate using a reactor made of an empty chromium/iron tube, nickel/chromium tube, or ceramic tube (U.S. Pat. No. 2,395,800)
However, in addition to being able to obtain high selectivity only at low conversion rates, this method also had the problem of severe adhesion of char to the reactor. As an improved method, a reaction is carried out using a catalyst in which metal molybdenum is supported on a carrier or turning scraps of a molybdenum/iron alloy as a catalyst (German patent No.
No. 1001249) was proposed, and this method resulted in an increased yield. However, when such a solid catalyst is used, although the adhesion of charred substances is alleviated, the problem of adhesion to the catalyst wall remains, resulting in a significant loss of activity. Furthermore, a method using a lead compound as an additive (Japanese Patent Publication No. 30604/1983) was proposed. However, these additives have strong toxicity, and there are problems with the method of adding them or the method of treating the residue during purification of the reaction solution. [Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present inventor has developed a method for producing acetylacetone by thermal rearrangement of isopropenyl acetate, which improves the yield, prevents the adhesion of carbides, and reduces handling. We conducted extensive research to find a simple additive. This led to the discovery, quite unexpectedly, that water was extremely effective. That is, the present invention uses isopropenyl acetate.
This invention relates to a method for producing acetylacetone, which is characterized in that the reaction is carried out by adding 1% or more water on a weight basis to isopropenyl acetate in producing acetylacetone through gas phase thermal transition at 400 to 600°C. . The thermal rearrangement reaction of isopropenyl acetate is considered to be an intramolecular rearrangement mechanism, and a first-order reaction rate equation regarding the isopropenyl acetate concentration is established. Regarding this first-order reaction rate constant, Table 1 shows a comparison between when 5% water is added to isopropenyl acetate on a weight basis and when it is not added.
It was shown to.

By the method of the present invention, that is, the method of supplying water together with isopropenyl acetate for reaction, not only the yield was significantly improved, but also the adhesion of carbides was completely eliminated. Furthermore, it became possible to improve the space-time yield. [Examples] The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Example 1 A stainless steel evaporator, an electrically heated stainless steel preheater with an internal diameter of 10 mm and a length of 50 cm, a stainless steel reactor with an internal diameter of 10 mm and a length of 2 m that can be electrically insulated, and a spherical and serpentine tube. Using an experimental device consisting of a condenser with a combination of shapes and a reaction liquid receiver, 400 g/h of isopropenyl acetate,
20 g/H of water was fed to the evaporator. Reaction temperature 530
When the operation was carried out while keeping the temperature at ℃, the reaction solution was 406
g/H was obtained. Additionally, 14 g/h of gas products consisting of CO, CO 2 , allene, methane, etc. was obtained. In the reaction solution, unreacted isopropenyl acetate is
38g/H, and the acetylacetone content is 302
g/H. From this, the conversion rate of the reaction is
The selectivity was 83.4%, and the yield was 75.5%. Example 2 Using the same equipment as in Example 1, 500 g/H of isopropenyl acetate and 25 g/H of water were supplied to the evaporator. When the operation was carried out while maintaining the reaction temperature at 530°C, 513 g/H of reaction liquid was obtained. 12 g/h of gas product was obtained. Unreacted isopropenyl acetate in the reaction solution was 94
g/H, and the acetylacetone content is 346 g/H.
It was H. From this, the conversion rate of the reaction is 81.2
%, selectivity was 85.3%, and yield was 69.3%. Under the conditions of Example 1, no troubles such as blockages occurred even after about two weeks of operation. Comparative Example 1 The same treatment as in Example 1 was carried out except that the water supply was stopped. In addition to 396 g/H of reaction liquid, 20 g/H of gas product was obtained. Unreacted isopropenyl acetate in the reaction solution is 82
g/H, and the acetylacetone content is 231 g/H.
It was H. From this, the conversion rate of the reaction is 79.5
%, selectivity was 72.6%, and yield was 57.7%. Half a day after starting this operation, the pressure inside the evaporator started to rise gradually. When the operation was stopped one day later and the cooler was inspected, it was found that about 1 mm of char had adhered inside the reactor, and there was hard char in the area between the reactor outlet and the cooler. It was tightly packed.
