DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing alkenyl succinates by hydrolyzing alkenyl succinic anhydrides with aqueous alkaline solutions. More specifically, when producing alkenyl succinate by hydrolyzing alkenyl succinic anhydride with an alkaline aqueous solution, aging under high temperature and high pH conditions results in good storage stability with little change in hue over time. The present invention relates to a method for producing an alkenyl succinate. Alkenyl succinates are compounds useful as surfactants, and are used in various applications such as detergents, hair rinses, paper sizing agents, and polymer modifiers. Conventionally, as a method for producing an alkenyl succinate aqueous solution, olefin and maleic anhydride were mixed at 160 to
After reacting at 250℃ to produce alkenylsuccinic anhydride, an aqueous alkali solution is added to the mixture of alkenylsuccinic anhydride and water with stirring, or alkenylsuccinic anhydride is esterified with aliphatic alcohol. A method is known in which the material is then saponified and neutralized with an aqueous alkaline solution (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 167247/1983). However, when the aqueous alkenyl succinate solution obtained by adding an aqueous alkaline solution equivalent to the alkoxyl group to a mixture of alkenyl succinic anhydride and water, the color of the product deteriorates during storage at room temperature, changing from yellow to brown. The phenomenon of increased coloration has occurred, and this coloring has significantly reduced the commercial value of alkenyl succinates in various uses, and has become a practical hindrance. A possible method for preventing such hue deterioration is to store the product in a nitrogen atmosphere, but although it is somewhat more effective than storing the product in an air atmosphere, it is not satisfactory. In addition, phenolic stabilizers, which are generally used as antioxidants,
Addition of BHT or BHA had no effect at all. In addition, after distilling the alkenylsuccinic anhydride obtained in the reaction under high vacuum, the alkenylsuccinate aqueous solution obtained by mixing it with water and neutralizing it with an alkaline aqueous solution is colorless to pale yellow, and Although it is an excellent product with little hue deterioration, it is industrially disadvantageous as it reduces yield and complicates the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the alkenyl succinate aqueous solution obtained by the method of saponifying the ester with alcohol according to JP-A-55-167247 is a product with little color deterioration, but the aqueous solution contains alcohol produced by saponification and decomposition. This has the disadvantage that it is limited to the alcohol removal process or to applications where alcohol inclusion is permissible. Therefore, the present inventors conducted intensive research to find a method of preventing hue deterioration during storage of an alkenyl succinate aqueous solution using an industrially simple method, and as a result, they arrived at the present invention. That is, in the present invention, when producing an alkenyl succinate by hydrolyzing alkenyl succinic anhydride with an alkaline aqueous solution, the pH of the reaction solution after hydrolysis is set to 10 or more, and the temperature after the reaction is set to 70°C.
The present invention provides a method for producing an alkenyl succinate having good storage stability and little change in hue over time, which is characterized in that the alkenyl succinate is aged while being maintained at the above temperature. In the present invention, when hydrolyzing and neutralizing alkenylsuccinic anhydride, an excess of alkali is added than the theoretical amount of alkali required for neutralization to make the pH of the aqueous solution alkaline, that is, PH10 or higher, and the hydrolysis After completion of the reaction, the temperature of the reaction solution is kept at 70°C or higher for ripening. The aging time is preferably 30 minutes or more, more preferably 1 hour or more. After ripening, the pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted by adding an inorganic or organic acid as necessary. In this way, an alkenyl succinate aqueous solution with extremely little deterioration in hue can be obtained. The alkenyl succinic anhydride used in the production of the alkenyl succinate according to the present invention is obtained by reacting an olefin with maleic anhydride and removing unreacted substances from the reaction product. The olefin used here may be a linear olefin or a side chain olefin, or may be an alpha olefin or an internal olefin. Further, it may be a single olefin or a mixed olefin. The number of carbon atoms in olefin is 4~
30, preferably 6-24. When reacting the above-mentioned olefin and maleic anhydride, the molar ratio of the reaction between olefin and maleic anhydride is not particularly limited, but the raw material used in excess is recovered in the distillation process after the reaction, and can generally be reused. . In the present invention, the alkali used in the hydrolysis of alkenylsuccinic anhydride includes hydroxides of alkali metals of Group A of the Periodic Table, e.g.
NaOH and KOH are preferred. The present invention uses the means disclosed above to eliminate coloring of alkenyl succinates and to prevent the hue from changing over time. This made it possible to use it for other purposes as well. The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Examples. Example 1 22.4Kg of diisobutylene and 9.81Kg of maleic anhydride
The mixture was charged into a pressure-resistant reaction tank made of SUS, and after being sufficiently purged with nitrogen gas, the mixture was reacted at a temperature of 200°C for 6 hours. After the reaction was completed, unreacted diisobutylene and maleic anhydride were distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 20.2 kg of yellow isooctenyl succinic anhydride. The saponification value of this isooctenyl succinic anhydride according to oil and fat analysis is 542.
