The present invention relates to a method for producing oxymethylene biscarboxylates. Oxymethylene biscarboxylates are useful as humidity regulators in grain storage, etc.
Glycolic acid, ethylene glycol or β-
It is a useful compound as a synthetic intermediate for propiokratone derivatives. The present inventors have conducted various studies on methods for producing oxymethylene biscarboxylates from formaldehyde and aliphatic carboxylic acids or their anhydrides, and have found that the acidity of acid sites with pKa values of 2 or less is at least The present invention was achieved by discovering that oxymethylene biscarboxylates can be easily obtained by using a solid acid having a concentration of 0.1 meq/g as a catalyst, and that separation of the product and catalyst is easy. be. The present invention will be explained in detail below. In the method of the present invention, as formaldehyde, in addition to gaseous formaldehyde and aqueous formaldehyde solutions, oligomers of formaldehyde that become formaldehyde under reaction conditions such as trioxane and paraformaldehyde are used. However, it is not preferable for a large amount of water to coexist in the reaction system, and it is desirable to suppress the water to an equimolar amount or less relative to formaldehyde. Examples of aliphatic carboxylic acids or aliphatic carboxylic anhydrides include acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid,
Examples include aliphatic carboxylic acids having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as caproic acid, enanthic acid, caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, capric acid, and isomers thereof, or anhydrides thereof. These aliphatic carboxylic acids or aliphatic carboxylic acid anhydrides are usually resistant to formaldehyde.
Equimolar or more is used. The solid acid used as a catalyst in the method of the present invention is
The acidity of the acid site having an acid strength of pKa value 2 or less is at least 0.1meq/g, and specifically, sulfone is added as a functional group to the styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer skeleton or tetrafluoroethylene skeleton. Strongly acidic cation exchange resin with acid, such as Diaion PK-228, Diaion

Clay minerals such as sepiolite, attapulgite, polygoskite, mordenite, zeolite or montmorillonite KSF/O (manufactured by Girdler) are treated with the above clay minerals with acids such as hydrogen fluoride, phosphoric acid, boric acid, etc. Supported on carriers, inorganic oxides such as blue tungsten oxide, heteropolyacids such as silicotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid, phosphates such as boron phosphate and lanthanum phosphate, sulfates such as aluminum sulfate and zinc sulfate, silica-alumina , silica-zirconia, titania-zirconia, silica-titania, and other composite oxides. These solid acid catalysts are usually used in amounts of 0.1 to 1 mole of formaldehyde.
Used in the range of 1000meq/g. Although it is not necessary to use a reaction solvent, in order to make the reaction more effective, ethers such as diethyl ether, diphenyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, dibutyl ketone, acetophenone, etc. Ketones, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate,
Esters such as methyl propionate, benzene,
Aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, p-xylene, ethylbenzene, n-pentane, n-hexane,
Alkanes such as n-octane, alkenes such as hexene-1 and octene-2, sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide and sulfolane, and carbonates such as ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate can be used as the reaction solvent. The present invention can be applied to either a gas phase method or a liquid phase method.
In addition, it can be carried out using either a suspended bed method or a fixed bed method, and the reaction temperature is usually 25 to 200°C.
℃, preferably within the range of 50 to 150℃ as appropriate. The reaction pressure is not particularly limited,
It is usually carried out under normal pressure or slightly increased pressure, in an atmosphere of air, or an atmosphere of an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 Trioxane was placed in a glass reactor with an internal volume of 100 ml.
5.0 g (equivalent to 167 mmole of formaldehyde), 70 ml of acetic acid, and 2.0 g (equivalent to 13.6 meq) of a strongly acidic cation exchange resin (Diaion HPK-55) were charged and reacted at 110° C. for 30 minutes with stirring. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product liquid was cooled, and oxymethylene diacetate, dioxymethylene diacetate, and trioxymethylene diacetate were quantitatively determined by gas chromatography. The results are in the table-
Described in 2. The above three products were easily isolated by distillation after separating the catalyst, and were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and GC-mass spectroscopy. Examples 2 to 6 Experiments were conducted in the same manner as in Example 1, except that conditions such as catalyst, temperature, and reaction time were changed as shown in Table 1. The results are shown in Table-2.
