Description of the Related Art Trimethylamine for general industrial use is separated and purified from a methylamine mixture by, for example, an extractive distillation method using water as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 222061, and usually about 500 to 1,000 ppm. Contains dimethylamine as an impurity. This impurity concentration is in a sufficiently practical range for general industrial chemical use, but is not always at a satisfactory level for use as a raw material for a new chemical for the electronics industry, for example, tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Of trimethylamine is desired.

製造方法を提供するために成されたものである。The difference in boiling point between trimethylamine and dimethylamine is as small as 4 ° C., and the conventional distillation operation requires a high number of distillation columns in order to obtain a high degree of purification effect as in the present invention. In addition, since the distillation operation involves adding a large amount of water, a large amount of energy is required, which is not an industrially advantageous method. Accordingly, the present invention has been made to provide a method for producing high-purity trimethylamine which is advantageous for industrial implementation.

ミンを得る方法を見出し、本発明を成すに至った。In order to solve these problems, the present inventors have focused on a method of separating and purifying dimethylamine by converting it into a substance which can be easily separated from trimethylamine prior to distillation. As a result of diligent research, we found a method of reacting dimethylamine with a carboxylic acid ester by relatively simple treatment, selectively converting it to carboxylic acid amide, separating and purifying it, and obtaining high-purity trimethylamine. The present invention has been accomplished.

チルアミンの精製効果を著しく高める事ができる。The present invention relates to a method for reacting dimethylamine contained as an impurity in trimethylamine with a carboxylic acid ester, for example, methyl formate, and converting it into dimethylformamide for separation. The boiling point difference between dimethylformamide and trimethylamine is about 150 ° C., which makes it very easy to separate and is itself a useful chemical. According to the present invention, the conversion effect of dimethylamine to carboxylic acid amide, and the separation and recovery thereof can be industrially advantageously carried out to significantly improve the purification effect of trimethylamine.

In addition, dimethylamine is reacted with a carboxylic acid ester. The reaction temperature is usually 20 to 140 ° C, preferably 40 to 100 ° C, and the reaction time is usually 5 to 180 minutes, preferably 15 to 60 minutes. Since the carboxylic acid amide thus formed can be separated from trimethylamine by a known simple distillation operation, according to the present invention, trimethylamine containing substantially no dimethylamine can be industrially advantageously produced.
