Diamine compounds are industrially very useful materials. For example, diamine compounds are used as raw materials for polyamides (aka, nylons) that occupy an important position in the polymer industry. Particularly, diamine compounds containing aromatic rings can enhance the thermal stability of a polymer material, have. In addition, the diamine compound can be produced by the imidization reaction with a dialdehyde compound to produce a linear polyimine polymer. Since the polyimine polymer has various structural characteristics, it is an object of interest in the polymer field. In addition, the diamine compound may be used as a starting material for the diisocyanate used as the starting material of the polyurethane.

Among various diamine compounds, 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan is a compound in which two aminomethyl groups are bonded to a furan ring structure having an aromatic property, and research and development on commercial use of this compound is ongoing. In particular, 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan is a compound having a furan ring as a parent nucleus that can be obtained from biomass resources and is recognized as a very important compound in terms of ensuring the sustainability of the future polymer industry.

As a general process for the preparation of 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan, an amination reaction using ammonia from biomass-based compounds 2,5-diformylfuran or 5-hydroxymethylpurfural (5-HMF) Or through a reductive amination reaction is known. However, the diformylfuran or 5-hydroxymethylpurfural used as the reactant has reactivity as the furan ring of the mother nucleus, so that the aldehyde (-CHO) group bonded to the reactant during the amination reaction or the reductive amination reaction And amine (-NH ₂ ) groups generated in the course of the reaction are reacted with each other to produce a large amount of polymeric material composed of polyimine skeleton. The polyimine polymer material produced from the reaction by-product is a factor that makes selective synthesis of the desired 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan difficult. Therefore, it is urgently required to develop a technique for inhibiting the production of polyimine polymeric substances generated as reaction by-products in the process of producing an amine compound from an aldehyde compound having a furan core.

The main prior art for producing 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan using 2,5-diformylfuran as a raw material is as follows.

In International Patent Publication No. WO2012-004069, 2,5-diformylfuran is reacted with a hydroxylamine compound to convert it into 2,5-dicarbooximefuran, which is hydrogenated to give 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) A two-stage conversion process for producing furans is disclosed. International Patent Publication No. WO2008-076795 discloses a method for producing a diamine compound by reacting an aldehyde compound with a diamine compound which is a reaction product in advance, converting the intermediate into an appropriate intermediate, and then performing a reductive amination reaction in the presence of ammonia and hydrogen. European Patent Laid-Open No. 1,348,688 discloses a method of reductive amination of a dialdehyde compound in an alcohol solvent. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-88030 discloses a method for producing a diamine compound by a reductive amination reaction of a dialdehyde compound using a nickel catalyst supported on an inorganic oxide, ammonia, and hydrogen.

As described above, many techniques for producing a diamine compound by a reductive amination reaction of a dialdehyde compound have been disclosed. However, as a chemical characteristic of 2,5-diformylfuran used as a starting material, And there is no consideration that immigration reactivity is great. Therefore, 2,5-diformylfuran is difficult to synthesize 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan in a selective manner by carrying out amination or reduction amination reaction in a usual manner due to inherent chemical properties.

International Patent Publication No. WO2012-004069, "Process for producing 2,5-formylfuran and derivatives thereof" International Patent Publication No. WO2008-076795, "Reductive Amination Method of Aldehyde Compound and Ketone Compound & European Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1,348,688 entitled " Method for producing diamine compound by reacting dialdehyde compound with ammonia under reducing amination method and alkanol " Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-88030, "

The present inventors investigated the amination or reduction amination reaction of 2,5-diformylfuran and found that an imine furan oligomer having an imine skeleton by the reaction of 2,5-diformylfuran with ammonia And it has been found that these oligomer intermediates play an important role in the conversion to 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan. That is, by controlling the molecular weight of the imine furan oligomer produced during the reaction of 2,5-diformylfuran with ammonia, 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan Thereby completing the present invention.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for producing 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan in high yield using 2,5-diformylfuran as a starting material.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a process for preparing an oligomer comprising an imine furan trimer as an essential component by amidation reaction of 2,5-diformylfuran with ammonia; And a second step of reducing amidation of the oligomer with ammonia in the presence of a reductive amination catalyst and hydrogen to produce 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan; Bis (aminomethyl) furan of the formula (I).

Since 2,5-diformylfuran used as a starting material in the present invention is prepared from biomass cellulose, glucoside, fructose, etc., it is possible to provide a biomass-derived diamine compound to the polymer industry.

The 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan produced in the present invention is a diamine compound in which two aminomethyl groups are bonded to a furan core nucleus having an aromatic character and is a useful monomer compound that can be used for various purposes in the polymer industry. The polymer industry to which 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan can be applied is, for example, a raw material for producing a polyimine polymer composed of a dialdehyde-diamine combination, a polyamide polymer capable of forming a dicarboxylic acid- Raw materials for production, and raw materials for producing isocyanate, which are raw materials for urethane.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan using 2,5-diformylfuran as a starting material.

In an ordinary production method, an aldehyde compound is aminated or reduced amination to produce an amine compound. However, 2,5-diformylfuran as an aldehyde compound has an aromatic furan core and is highly reactive with imination, A large amount of a polyimine polymer compound is produced as an intermediate, which ultimately serves as a cause of lowering the production yield of 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan. Accordingly, in view of the chemical structural characteristics of 2,5-diformylfuran, 2,5-diformylfuran is reacted with ammonia to mainly contain trimer having an average molecular weight in the range of 350 to 360 The production yield of 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan was greatly improved by preparing a oligomer and then reacting the oligomer with a reducing amination catalyst and ammonia in the presence of hydrogen.

The preparation method of the present invention is a two step process as shown in Reaction Scheme 1 below. Specifically, 2,5-diformylfuran is aminated to produce an oligomer having an imine furan trimer as a main component, And a second step of producing 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan by reducing amination of the oligomer.

[Reaction Scheme 1]

(상기 반응식 1에서, n은 이민퓨란의 반복단위 개수로서 2 내지 10의 정수이다)

(Wherein n is an integer of 2 to 10 as the number of repeating units of imine furan)

Also, the production process according to the present invention may proceed to a continuous process for performing the reductive amination reaction in the second step without the separation and purification of the oligomer produced in the amination reaction in the first step.

The manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described in more detail with respect to each process.

The first step is the step of amidation of 2,5-diformylfuran with ammonia. The first step is an important step for determining the yield of 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan of the present invention, and is a step of controlling the molecular weight of the imine furan oligomer produced as a reaction intermediate. The oligomer prepared through the amination reaction in the first step may contain 40 wt% or more of imine furan trimer (n = 3 in the above reaction formula), and more preferably 60 wt% or more.

That is, the imine furan oligomer having a relatively large molecular weight may not only be low in solubility in a solvent, but may also be a factor that inhibits the reductive amination reaction in the second step, which is carried out in a subsequent process due to structural factors. Therefore, It is required to convert to an oligomer. According to a long study by the present inventors, it has been confirmed that 2,5-diformylfuran can produce a large amount of low molecular weight imine furan when it is reacted with ammonia under the condition that catalyst and / or hydrogen gas are not present. Accordingly, in the amination reaction performed in the first step of the present invention, 2,5-diformylfuran and ammonia are used as reactants. In this case, various ammonia sources may be used for ammonia, but it is preferable to supply the ammonia directly to the reactor in the form of liquid ammonia in order to maintain the convenience or promptness of the reaction.

Also, it is easy to control the molecular weight distribution of the imine furan oligomer by controlling the reaction solvent, the reaction temperature, the amount of the ammonia used as the reactant, and the reaction time in the appropriate range in the first step of the amination reaction.

In the present invention, a polar solvent is selectively used as an amination reaction solvent. Since the solubility of the reaction product is determined by the selection of the solvent and the solubility of the resulting oligomer is greatly influenced, an appropriate solvent is selected. In the present invention, a solvent having a high solubility in a reactant and a low solubility in a low molecular weight oligomer produced at the same time is used. That is, by separating a low molecular weight oligomer produced by an amination reaction into a solid phase, it is possible to prevent the oligomerization from progressing further, and the production of a polymeric immune furan having a very high molecular weight can be controlled. The solvent which can be used in the present invention includes water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, N, N-dimethylformamide, N- Dimethyl ether, and mixtures thereof. The solvent may be used in a weight ratio of 1: 10-100 by weight to the weight of 2,5-diformylfuran used as a reactant. By adjusting the solubility of the reaction product and the product by appropriately selecting the solvent and controlling the amount of the solvent, The furan oligomer can be stably separated and produced in a solid phase.

The ammonia is used as a reactant in the first amination reaction, and the reaction rate and the molecular weight distribution of the imine furan oligomer can be controlled by controlling the amount of ammonia used. Ammonia can be used in a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 10: 1 by weight of 2,5-diformylfuran.

The amination with ammonia is preferably carried out at a reaction temperature of 20 ° C to 80 ° C for 1 to 6 hours. The reaction temperature can be appropriately controlled within a range of 20 ° C to 80 ° C and preferably maintained at a temperature of 30 ° C to 60 ° C, which can greatly affect the production rate of the oligomer and the solubility of the imine furan oligomer. In addition, the reaction pressure can be increased by the use of ammonia. The reaction pressure is suitably adjusted within the range of 1 to 10 atm.

In order to confirm the molecular weight distribution of the imine furan oligomer obtained by aminating the 2,5-diformylfuran under the above reaction conditions, MALDI-MS analysis was applied. Molecular weight distribution of oligomers calculated based on MALDI-MS analysis is shown in Fig. 1, the composition of the imine furan oligomer produced as a result of the amination reaction of the present invention is shown to be composed of 0% by weight of a dimer, 76% by weight of a trimer, 9% by weight of a tetramer, and 15% have. That is, it is confirmed that a trimer having a small molecular weight is a main component, and a polymeric immune furan oligomer having a mass or more is not produced.

The second step is a step of reductive amination of the imine furan oligomer produced in the first step reaction.

The 2-step reaction is carried out by reacting an imine furan oligomer with ammonia in the presence of a reducing amination catalyst and hydrogen gas to produce 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan.

The oligomer produced from the amination reaction in the first step may be subjected to a reductive amination reaction after separation and purification but may be carried out in a solvent used in the first step without separate separation and purification . In the reductive amination step of the present invention, the amination catalyst is charged. Since the catalyst can be directly added to the reactor through the addition device capable of introducing the catalyst, the first step reaction is completed. In the step of introducing the catalyst into the same reactor, there is an advantage that only ammonia and hydrogen are filled and converted to the reduced amination step. Accordingly, although the present invention has been described in terms of the first step and the second step in order to more specifically control the invention and to confirm the process thereof, it is more advantageous to proceed continuously by one pot reaction .

The catalyst to be added to the reductive amination reaction may be a conventionally used homogeneous or heterogeneous reductive amination catalyst. In the present invention, there is no particular restriction on the choice of catalyst if it can proceed with the amination reaction. If a conventional solid catalyst is used as the reducing amination catalyst, it may be more advantageous in the process of separating and reusing the catalyst. Examples of the catalyst applicable to the present invention include Raney nickel, Mo-Raney nickel, Raney cobalt, Ni / SiO ₂ , Cu / SiO ₂ , Ru / Al ₂ O ₃ , Pd / Al ₂ O ₃ , Ni / CaCO _3, Ru / C, and Pd / C, or a catalyst of a modified form thereof may be used. The amount of the reducing amination catalyst material may be applied in the range of 1: 0.01 ~ 1.0 weight ratio with respect to the weight of 2,5-diformylfuran. When a solid catalyst is used as the reductive amination catalyst, the catalyst material may be recovered through a simple filtration process after the completion of the reaction and may be reused through an appropriate washing process and a reactivation process such as reduction.

Ammonia used in the reductive amination reaction may also be directly charged with liquid ammonia to maintain the convenience or promptness of the reaction. The amount of ammonia used in the reductive amination reaction to be performed in the second step may be in the range of 1: 5 to 20 weight ratio with respect to the weight of 2,5-diformylfuran. If the amount of ammonia used is large, the operation may be difficult due to an increase in the pressure of the reactor, and additional costs may be incurred due to excessive use and recovery of ammonia. Therefore, ammonia should be appropriately adjusted within the above range.

In the reductive amination reaction, hydrogen gas is injected to improve the amination stability of the catalyst and to promote the production of amine products. The amount of hydrogen gas injected can be applied in the range of 0.1 to 5 atmospheric pressure in the reactor. If the partial pressure of hydrogen is too high, depending on the type of catalyst, the furan ring of the product may be hydrogenated and converted to an amine by-product having a tetrahydrofuran ring.

The reductive amination reaction may be carried out at a reaction temperature of 100 ° C to 200 ° C, preferably 100 ° C to 150 ° C for 2 to 12 hours. If the reductive amination reaction temperature is too high, the furan ring in the product may be opened, or the hydrogenation reaction may proceed further, resulting in an excessive amount of by-products, which may ultimately cause a decrease in the production yield of 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan . If the temperature of the reductive amination reaction is too low, the reaction rate is very low and the economical efficiency may be lowered. The reductive amination reaction time can be controlled by interlocking with the reaction temperature variable, the catalyst type, the amount of catalyst used, the reaction solvent, and the like.

After completion of the reductive amination reaction, the reactor is cooled to room temperature, the gas in the reactor is discharged, and the solid catalyst material is separated by filtration or the like to obtain the intended 2,5-bis (amino Methyl) furan product. The structure and yield of the resulting 2,5-bis (aminomethyl) furan were confirmed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the following examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
