Abstract

La presente invención se refiere a un proceso para oxidar una cetona cíclica a la correspondiente lactona, comprendiendo las etapas de: a) formar una primera solución incorporando una cetona cíclica conteniendo desde 4 hasta 30 átomos de carbono cíclicos, un anhídrido cíclico de un ácido polibásico, preferentemente un anhídrido de ácido maléico, succínico, ftálico o un ftálico substituído y un solvente inerte que tenga un punto de ebullición substancialmente mayor que el punto de ebullición de la correspondiente lactona, siendo incorporado el anhídrido en una cantidad suficiente para mantener a la primera solución substancialmente anhídrida; b) incorporar entre 0.3 y 2 moles de peróxido de hidrógeno por mol de cetona en la primera solución, siendo incorporado el peróxido de hidrógeno a una velocidad controlada para evitar acumular un excedente substancial de peróxido de hidrógeno en la mezcla de reacción, para mantener al solvente líquido y preferentemente mantener la temperatura de la priemra reacción entre 30 y 100 grados C; c) incorporar una cantidad catalítica de un catalizador básico en la primera solución, dicha cantidad catalítica preferentemente equivalente a menos de 50 moles por ciento del peróxido de hidrógeno empleado y suficiente para permitir completar el peróxido de hidrógeno dentro de menos de cuatro horas, convirtiendo así por lo menos parte de la cetona cíclica a la lactona correspondiente y por lo menos parte del anhídrido del ácido polibásico al correspondiente ácido polibásico, y d) recuperar la lactona como un destilado del producto de la etapa (b) para dejar como residuo una solución del ácido polibá sico en el solvente.The present invention relates to a process for oxidizing a cyclic ketone to the corresponding lactone, comprising the steps of: a) forming a first solution incorporating a cyclic ketone containing from 4 to 30 cyclic carbon atoms, a cyclic anhydride of a polybasic acid , preferably a maleic, succinic, phthalic or substituted phthalic anhydride and an inert solvent having a boiling point substantially higher than the boiling point of the corresponding lactone, the anhydride being incorporated in an amount sufficient to maintain the first substantially anhydrous solution; b) incorporate between 0.3 and 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide per mole of ketone in the first solution, with hydrogen peroxide being incorporated at a controlled rate to avoid accumulating a substantial surplus of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction mixture, to maintain the liquid solvent and preferably keep the temperature of the first reaction between 30 and 100 degrees C; c) incorporating a catalytic amount of a basic catalyst in the first solution, said catalytic amount preferably equivalent to less than 50 mol percent of the hydrogen peroxide used and sufficient to allow the completion of the hydrogen peroxide within less than four hours, thus converting at least part of the cyclic ketone to the corresponding lactone and at least part of the polybasic acid anhydride to the corresponding polybasic acid, and d) recovering the lactone as a distillate from the product of step (b) to leave a solution of the Polybasic acid in the solvent.
