Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of an aminoalkino, which comprises the following steps: a. reacting an alkynyl alcohol with HC1 to form a chloroalkyl, b. reacting said chloroalkyne with a water-soluble aminating agent in the presence of a surfactant to form an aminoalkino and, optionally, c. purify said aminoalkyne by distillation

Description

Process for Amines This invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of amines, which are useful in the subsequent formation of biologically active materials.
The process of this invention comprises a two-step sequence wherein an alcohol is converted to an organic chloride through the reaction with a chlorinating agent in a first step, followed by amination of the organic chloride in the corresponding amine in a second stage. . In the second step, a surfactant is employed to facilitate the reaction. The presence of the surfactant is especially valuable when the organic chloride that is formed in the first stage is insoluble in water but the aminating agent is soluble in water. Although in theory it is not desired to bind, it is believed that the surfactant increases the surface area of the organic chloride in the aqueous medium. This results in a large contact area for the reaction with the aminating agent, and consequently improves the mass transfer ability; thus, the reaction time is reduced. Additionally, the selectivity and production of the desired amine material are increased due to the reduced formation of unwanted byproducts; this results in an economically viable process and the ability to market the subsequent pesticide product in a more economical way. The process of this invention, with the use of a surfactant, is most useful for the preparation of aminoalkynes from the corresponding chloroalkyne and its precursor alkynyl alcohol, wherein the chloroalkyne is insoluble in water and the amination agent, such as Ammonia or methylamine, is soluble in water. Processes for the chlorination of chloroalkines have been described in Michelotti et al. in US 5,254,584 as in Hennion et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 75, 1653 (1953); however, the use of a surfactant agent in such processes was not disclosed or suggested. Another method for preparing an aminoalkyne by reaction of chloroalkine with sodium amide in liquid ammonia in J: Org. Chem., 45, 4616 (1980); however, these processes are only feasible on a laboratory scale and are not suitable as a large-scale commercial process. The process of the present invention comprises the following steps: a. reacting an alkynyl alcohol with HCl to form a chloroalkyl, b. reacting said chloroalkyne with a water-soluble aminating agent in the presence of a surfactant to form an aminoalkino and, optionally, c. purify said aminoalkyne by distillation. More specifically, the process of this invention comprises the following steps: a. reacting an alkynyl alcohol of the formula with a saturated aqueous solution of HCl to form a chloroalkyne of the formula b. reacting said chloroalkyne with a water soluble amination agent of the formula NR3R4 in the presence of a nonionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant to form an aminoalkyne of the formula and, optionally, c. purifying said aminoalkino by distillation; wherein R is a hydrogen atom, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl or aralkyl; R1 and R2 are each, separately, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, aralkyl or, together with the carbon atom to which they are added, form a cycloalkyl; and R3 and R4 are each, separately, a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl. In this invention, the alkyl is straight or branched chain (C? -C8) alkyl and includes, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n -amyl, isoamyl, n-hexyl and n-octyl. The lower alkyl is straight or branched chain (C 1 -C 4) alkyl. Cycloalkyl includes, for example, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Cycloalkylalkyl includes, for example, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Cycloalkylalkyl includes, for example, cyclopentylmethyl, cyclohexylethyl, 3-cyclopentylpropyl, 4-cyclohexylbutyl and the like. For aralkyl, the aryl portion of the moiety is defined as phenyl or phenyl substituted with one or two substituents independently selected from halo and alkyl; the alkyl part of the half is defined as straight chain (C 1 -C 4) alkyl. Examples of aralkyl include benzyl, phenethyl, 4-chlorobenzyl, 4-methylbenzyl and 2-chlorophenethyl. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, R is a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl, R1 and R2 are, separately, lower alkyl or, together with the carbon atom to which they are added, form a cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl, R3 and R4 they are, separately, a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl, and the surfactant is non-ionic. In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, R is a hydrogen atom, R1 and R2 are, separately, methyl or ethyl, R3 and R4 are hydrogen atoms, and the surfactant is an alkylphenoxy-polyethoxy-ethanol. In an even more preferred embodiment of this invention, R1 is methyl and R2 is methyl or ethyl. The reaction sequence for steps 1 and 2 is carried out more conveniently at ambient pressure and at a temperature of about 10 ° C to about -10 ° C. However, if desired, the sequence can be brought under a higher pressure at atmospheric pressure and at higher temperatures. Stoichiometry is relatively unimportant, but it is generally more convenient to employ a stoichiometric excess of HCl in the first stage, and a stoichiometric excess of the amination agent in the second stage. In the first stage, a chlorination catalyst such as copper chloride (I) can be used. Generally, a depression of hydrogen chloride, for example, a strong base such as potassium or sodium hydroxide, is used in the second stage to reduce the consumption of the amination reagent; however, if desired, an excess of amination reagent such as HCl depression may also be employed. The reaction times for both stages can vary, and usually depend on the cooling capacity and the mixing characteristics of the reaction vessel; the conversion of the starting material to the desired product or intermediate is conveniently followed by the use of liquid gas chromatography (CLG) or high performance liquid chromatography (CLAD). The amount of the surfactant used in step 2 can be varied, but is generally within the range of 0.01 to 10% by weight, based on the amount of organic chloride present. Preferably, the amount of the surfactant will be within the range of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, based on the amount of organic chloride present. The following examples are to better illustrate the present invention and not to limit its scope, which is defined by the claims.
Example 1; Formation of 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-pentyne In a reactor, consisting of a one-liter resin vessel, equipped with a thermometer, a gas dispersion tube, a general agitation motor with a stirring blade of recoil, a circulating bath of Lauda type, a caustic scrubber and an addition funnel to compensate the pressure with an attachment for a slow nitrogen sweep, 300 ml were added. (3.6 mol) of concentrated hydrochloric acid together with 1.58 gr. (16 mmol) of copper (I) chloride. The cooling bath was set at 0 ° C, and the hydrogen chloride gas was introduced. The HCl solution was exothermic; As the solution approached saturation, the temperature of the bath was lowered until a container temperature of ~ -5 ° C was reached. 3-Methyl-1-pentin-3-ol (250 gr. , 2.5 mol) was charged in the addition funnel. A slow nitrogen sweep was started so that the HCl vapor would reach the alcohol through the lateral arm. The alcohol was added dropwise at an index such that the reaction temperature remained at 0 ° C or less for 2 to 3 hours. The addition of hydrogen chloride gas was continued during feeding to maintain saturation. At the end of the feed, the addition of hydrogen chloride was stopped and the dispersion tube was raised above the liquid level. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 30 minutes at 0 ° C, then the stirring was stopped and the layers were allowed to separate. The inner aqueous layer was removed and the organic phase was washed with water and then with a mixture of saturated brine and sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was stored in a refrigerator until used in the next stage. The procedure provided approximately 280 to 290 gr. from a yellow liquid to coffee, whose purity estimated by CLG was found to be between 90 to 96%.
Example 2: Formation of 3-amino-3-methyl-1-pentyne. In a reactor, consisting of a one-liter resin container, a Lauda-type refrigerated bath, a gas dispersion tube, two addition funnels to compensate the pressure, a thermometer, a nitrogen sweep and a gas inlet and outlet. equipped with the appropriate siphons, 350 ml were added. (2.6 mol) of concentrated ammonium hydroxide solution and 1.00 gr. of Triton® X-100 (trademark of Union Carbide Chemical &Plastics Co.). The cooling bath was set at approximately 0 ° C, and the ammonia gas was introduced. The ammonia solution was a bit exothermic. As the solution approached saturation, the bath temperature was lowered until a container temperature of ~ -5 ° C was reached. One of the addition funnels was charged with 250 g. (2.0 mol) of 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-pentyne, and the other was loaded with 172 g. (2.2 mol) of 50% sodium hydroxide. A slow nitrogen sweep was placed in the addition funnel containing chloride to prevent ammonia vapors from entering the funnel through the lateral arm. The chloride and the caustic were added simultaneously by dropping at an index such that the reaction temperature remained at 0 ° C or less for 3 to 4 hours. The addition of ammonia was continued during feeding to maintain saturation. At the end of the feed, the ammonia addition was stopped and the dispersion tube was raised above the liquid level. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 0 ° C until it was found that the level of unreacted chloride was less than 1% by CLG. Stirring was stopped and the layers were allowed to separate. The lower aqueous layer was removed and discarded, and the upper organic layer transferred to a distillation flask together with 75 ml. of water. Then the mixture was distilled using a 15 cm Vigreuex covered column. The fraction boiling from 85 to 92 ° C was collected to provide 174.3 gr. of a white water liquid. The largest fraction was distilled as an azeotrope with water. It was found that the material contained ~ -28% water. Of the remaining organic material, the CLG analysis indicated 90% of 3-amino-3-methyl-1-pentyne with most of the remainder being 3-methyl-1-pentin-3-ol and butanone. The production of 3-amino-3-methyl-1-pentyne was 60%, based on the starting material of 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-pentyne.
Comparative Example: Formation of 3-amino-3-methyl-1-pentin.
The procedure used was substantially similar to that employed in Example 2, except that no surfactant was added to the reactor system. The production of 3-amino-3-methyl-1-pentyne in this case was 39%, based on the starting material of 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-pentyne. It should be understood that the foregoing description is indicated by way of illustration and not limitation, and that various changes and modifications may be made to it without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined by the following claims.
