Abstract

PURPOSE:To economically obtain high-quality 2-chlorocarboxylic acid useful as a raw material for medicine or agricultural chemical using a relatively safe catalyst in good yield, by carrying out chlorination of carboxylic acid raw material using the same kind of acid anhydride as a raw material carboxylic acid as the catalyst. CONSTITUTION:An aliphatic carboxylic acid raw material such as propionic acid, lactic acid or valeric acid is subjected to chlorination with Cl2 gas, etc., at 90-150 deg.C, preferably 110-140 deg.C using an anhydride of same kind of carboxylic acid as the raw material until conversion of the carboxylic acid attains >=99.5% to provide the high-quality aimed compound expressed by the formula (R is 1-4C n-alkyl) such as 2-chloropropionic acid 2-chloro-n-lactic acid, 2-chloro-n-lactic acid, 2-chloro-n-valeric acid or 2-chloro-n-caproic acid. The acid anhydride is used at an addition amount of 8-20 part acid anhydride based on 100 part carboxylic acid raw material. The aimed compound can be supplied to an industrial raw material without carrying out purification such as distillation, because the compound is obtained as very clear reaction liquid.

(Prior Art) In general, aliphatic carboxylic acids undergo very slow localization, and in normal carboxylation, the location atoms tend to preferentially enter positions far from the carboxyl group. However, it is known that when a catalyst such as phosphorus, sulfur, or iodine is used, halodanization occurs at the 2-position.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When 2-chlorocarboxylic acid is industrially produced by conventional methods, a catalyst is required that suppresses chlorination at the 2-position and the formation of higher-order chlorides.

Acid chloride and phosphorus trichloride are effective in this respect, but they are highly reactive and dangerous, so great care must be taken when handling them. In addition, phosphorus-based catalysts remain in the reaction solution, resulting in poor quality, and also have drawbacks such as being susceptible to corrosion of glass-lined reaction vessels.

(Means for solving the problem) It is known that when hydrochloric acid gas acts on carboxylic acid anhydride, acid chloride and carboxylic acid are produced. The inventors have discovered that the acid chloride acts as a catalyst because the hydrochloric acid produced as a by-product reacts with the acid anhydride in the reaction system, and this acid chloride acts as a catalyst, leading to the present invention.
