物である。More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing methanol, acetone, or vicinal glycol in the form of two molecules of methanol and acetone bonded together by irradiating methanol with light in the coexistence of acetone. Currently, vicinal glycol is
It is industrially produced in large quantities and is used as an intermediate for organic synthetic chemicals.
It is also widely used in antimony agents, polyester fibers and films, polyglycols, etc., and is a very important compound.

て注目されてきており、具体的にいくつかの方法が提案
されている。This vicinal glycol is produced by a petrochemical method using ethylene as a raw material, but in recent years, with the global shortage of petroleum resources, important products such as ethylene and propylene will be used in the future. Due to the lack of raw material supply, it is inevitable that prices will rise. Therefore, in preparation for the future, the development of methods for producing organic basic chemicals such as vicinal glycols from raw materials other than petroleum is particularly desired. Therefore, instead of using petroleum derivative raw materials such as ethylene, a method of producing vicinal glycols such as ethylene glycol using methanol as a raw material is attracting attention as it is more advantageous than conventional petrochemical production methods. A number of specific methods have been proposed.

し、本発明をなすに至ったものである。For example, in producing vicinal glycol from alcohol, a method using an organic peroxide is known (see, for example, K. Schweick, W. Geyer, et al.
Hinermannri, AngeW. Chem, 72
779 (1960)), and this method has poor selectivity for the target vicinal glycol. Therefore, a method has been proposed in which the hydroxyl group of alcohol is protected with a trialkylsilyl group and an organic peroxide is used (Tsubaki Seki Sho 53-73506
issue). However, even with this method, there are many reaction steps due to the use of trialkylsilyl groups, the use of organic peroxides, and the necessity of alcoholysis of the generated coupling intermediate, making the treatment complicated. It had some drawbacks. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method for producing vicinal glycol from alcohol, and found that by irradiating methanol with light in the coexistence of acetone, organic glycol can be produced in one step. The inventors discovered that picinal glycol can be produced at normal temperature and pressure without using oxides, and have thus come up with the present invention.
本発明方法の反応は、一般的に、次の反応式で表わすこ

コールの製造に関しては「20〜1の範囲が好ましい。The ratio of methanol and acetone used can be determined arbitrarily, but preferably the methanol/acetone ratio (molar ratio) is 100 depending on the vicinal glycol of the target product.
It is determined in the range of 0 to 0.01, and for the production of ethylene glycol, the range of 20 to 1 is preferable.

る。In the method of the present invention, mixing of methanol and acetone is usually carried out under an air atmosphere, but it may also be carried out under an inert gas atmosphere or an oxygen atmosphere. As the irradiation light in the method of the present invention, a wide range of white light or monochromatic light ranging from ultraviolet light to visible light can be used, but white light generated from a mercury lamp is preferably used. The light irradiation time is not particularly limited and varies depending on the irradiation conditions such as the intensity of the light source and the irradiation distance, the reaction capacity, etc., but is usually in the range of 1 to 10 hours.

てその意義は大きい。In the method of the present invention, light irradiation is usually carried out at room temperature, but may be carried out under heating or cooling if necessary.
As described above, according to the method of the present invention, by irradiating methanol with light in the coexistence of acetone, vicinal glycol can be easily produced in a one-step reaction at room temperature and pressure, without using organic peroxides. It has great significance as a completely new non-petrochemical method.
