Description

Denne oppfinnelse angår en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av.o-fenylfenol fra cykloheksanon. This invention relates to a process for the production of o-phenylphenol from cyclohexanone.

Det er kjent å omdanne cykloheksanon til cykloheksenyl-cykloheksanon. Tysk patent 857.960 beskriver en slik fremgangsmåte hvor en kationebytterharpiks anvendes som katalysator. US-patent 3.256.334 beskriver en dampfaseprosess for omdannelse av cykloheksanon under anvendelse av et alkalimetallfosfat som katalysator. I patentet angis også at det er velkjent å anvende mineralsyrer og alkali som katalysatorer ved fremgangsmåten. It is known to convert cyclohexanone into cyclohexenyl-cyclohexanone. German patent 857,960 describes such a method where a cation exchange resin is used as catalyst. US Patent 3,256,334 describes a vapor phase process for the conversion of cyclohexanone using an alkali metal phosphate as a catalyst. The patent also states that it is well known to use mineral acids and alkali as catalysts in the method.

US-patent 2.719.863 beskriver en selvkondensasjon av cykloheksanon i nærvær av relativt store mengder titanalkoksyd som katalysator. Hovedproduktet er cykloheksyliden-cykloheksanon, og dessuten dannes betydelige mengder dicykloheksyliden-cykloheksanon. US patent 2,719,863 describes a self-condensation of cyclohexanone in the presence of relatively large amounts of titanium alkoxide as catalyst. The main product is cyclohexylidene-cyclohexanone, and significant amounts of dicyclohexylidene-cyclohexanone are also formed.

Det er kjent å fremstille o-fenylfenol ved dehydrogenering av 2-(1-cykloheksenyl)-cykloheksanon. For dette formål var det nødvendig å fremstille utgangsforbindelsen 2-(1-cykloheksenyl)-cykloheksanon ved en relativt.krevende fremgangsmåte. En direkte viderebearbeidelse til o-fenylfenol var ikke mulig, da den kjente fremgangsmåte på grunn av for høyt energibehov, for dårlige ut-bytter, for lang reaksjonstid og/eller for komplisert gjennomføring av fremgangsmåten, ialt var for uøkonomisk. It is known to prepare o-phenylphenol by dehydrogenation of 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-cyclohexanone. For this purpose, it was necessary to prepare the starting compound 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-cyclohexanone by a relatively demanding method. A direct further processing to o-phenylphenol was not possible, as the known method was altogether too uneconomic due to too high energy requirements, too poor yields, too long a reaction time and/or too complicated execution of the method.

Til grunn for foreliggende oppfinnelse ligger den oppgave The present invention is based on that task

å fremstille o-fenylfenol fra cykloheksanon på økonomisk måte. to produce o-phenylphenol from cyclohexanone economically.

Løsningen på denne oppgave består i henhold til oppfinnelsen i at cykloheksanon omsettes ved en temperatur fra 50-250°C og ved et trykk som holder reaksjonsmediet i flytende fase, i nærvær av en katalytisk mengde av et titan-, vanadium-, mangan-, kobolt-, sink-, zirkonium-, kadmium-, tinn-, molybden- eller wolframsalt av en alifatisk karboksylsyre med opptil 20 karbonatomer eller en naftensyre eller en polysyre resp. heteropolysyre av disse metaller, så som fosformolybden- eller silisiumwolframsyre, According to the invention, the solution to this task consists in cyclohexanone being reacted at a temperature of 50-250°C and at a pressure that keeps the reaction medium in liquid phase, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a titanium, vanadium, manganese, cobalt, zinc, zirconium, cadmium, tin, molybdenum or tungsten salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid with up to 20 carbon atoms or a naphthenic acid or a polyacid resp. heteropolyacid of these metals, such as phosphomolybdenum or silicotungstic acid,

og det dannede 2- (1-cykloheksenyl)- and the formed 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-

cykloheksanon dehydrogeneres på i og for seg kjent måte i nærvær av en edelmetallkatalysator så som platina, på trekull, kiselsyre eller aluminiumoksyd, eller nikkel og tinn, på kiselsyre. cyclohexanone is dehydrogenated in a manner known per se in the presence of a noble metal catalyst such as platinum, on charcoal, silicic acid or aluminum oxide, or nickel and tin, on silicic acid.

Fortrinnsvis finner omsetningen sted i nærvær av vanadiumstearat, titanpalmitat, vanadiumoleat eller vanadiumnaftenat som katalysator. Preferably, the reaction takes place in the presence of vanadium stearate, titanium palmitate, vanadium oleate or vanadium naphthenate as catalyst.

Hensiktsmessig er mengden av katalytisk virkende metallforbindelse opptil 0,5 mol metall pr. mol tilstedeværende cykloheksanon, fortrinnsvis opptil 0,05 mol metall pr. mol tilstede--5 -2 Suitably, the amount of catalytically active metal compound is up to 0.5 mol of metal per moles of cyclohexanone present, preferably up to 0.05 moles of metal per moles present--5 -2

værende cykloheksanon, særlig i omradet 10 - 10 mol metall pr. mol tilstedeværende cykloheksanon. being cyclohexanone, particularly in the range of 10 - 10 mol metal per moles of cyclohexanone present.

Ved fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen anvendes som utgangsmateriale fortrinnsvis et cykloheksanon som er fremstilt ved oksydasjon av cykloheksan i nærvær av en borforbindelse og foreligger i blanding med cykloheksanon. In the method according to the invention, a cyclohexanone is preferably used as starting material, which is produced by oxidation of cyclohexane in the presence of a boron compound and is present in a mixture with cyclohexanone.

Først ved fremstilling av o-fenylfenol ved dehydrogenering av 2-(1-cykloheksenyl)-cykloheksanon fremstilt ifølge oppfinnelsen, ble det mulig å fremstille o-fenylfenol syntetisk i stor teknisk målestokk. Grunnlaget for foreliggende fremgangsmåte er at det er funnet en ny metode til å fremstille det kjemiske mellomprodukt, nemlig 2-(1-cykloheksenyl)-cykloheksanon på en lettvint måte med godt utbytte. Det var tidligere ikke mulig å fremstille den teknisk verdifulle forbindelse o-fenylfenol under anvendelse av cykloheksanon som eneste utgangsmateriale på en slik måte at man først omsetter denne forbindelse til mellomproduktet og derefter dehydro-generer dette . til o-fenylfenol. Det består derfor en generell knapphet på o-fenylfenol, særlig eftersom fenolfremstilling fra klorbenzen har mer og mer vist seg å være ulønnsom, og følgelig ble den eneste kilde til fremstilling av o-fenylfenol redusert. It was only when o-phenylphenol was produced by dehydrogenation of 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-cyclohexanone produced according to the invention that it became possible to produce o-phenylphenol synthetically on a large technical scale. The basis for the present method is that a new method has been found to produce the chemical intermediate, namely 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-cyclohexanone in an easy way with a good yield. It was previously not possible to produce the technically valuable compound o-phenylphenol using cyclohexanone as the only starting material in such a way that one first converts this compound into the intermediate product and then dehydrogenates it. to o-phenylphenol. There is therefore a general scarcity of o-phenylphenol, especially since the production of phenol from chlorobenzene has more and more proved to be unprofitable, and consequently the only source for the production of o-phenylphenol was reduced.

Mer enn én metallforbindelse kan anvendes ved fremgangsmåten, f.eks. kan blandinger av vanadium- og titanforbindelser benyttes, og også blandinger av forbindelser av det samme metall. More than one metal compound can be used in the method, e.g. mixtures of vanadium and titanium compounds can be used, and also mixtures of compounds of the same metal.

Særlig egnede metallforbindelser er f.eks. vanadiumstearat, titanpalmitat, vanadiumoleat og vanadiumnaftenat. Når et metall-karboksylat anvendes, er det hensiktsmessig å innføre den tilsvar-ende karboksylsyre i reaksjonsblandingen, f.eks. kan stearinsyre tilsettes når vanadiumstearat er katalysatoren. Fortrinnsvis er konsentrasjonen av karboksylsyren opptil 5% vekt/vekt. Particularly suitable metal compounds are e.g. vanadium stearate, titanium palmitate, vanadium oleate and vanadium naphthenate. When a metal carboxylate is used, it is appropriate to introduce the corresponding carboxylic acid into the reaction mixture, e.g. can stearic acid be added when vanadium stearate is the catalyst. Preferably, the concentration of the carboxylic acid is up to 5% w/w.

.Som salter av polysyrer og heteropolysyrer, kan f.eks. an- .As salts of polyacids and heteropolyacids, e.g. an-

vendes fosformolybdensyre, silisiumwolframsyre og fosforvanadium-syre. phosphormolybdic acid, silicon tungstic acid and phosphorvanadium acid are reversed.

Fremgangsmåten utføres i flytende fase under anvendelse av oppløselige metallforbindelser, og hvis det er nødvendig kan det anvendes et øket trykk, som i det minste er tilstrekkelig til å holde reaksjonsblandingen i væskefase ved arbeidstemperaturen. Anvendelse av heterogen væskefase er også mulig. The process is carried out in liquid phase using soluble metal compounds, and if necessary, an increased pressure can be used, which is at least sufficient to keep the reaction mixture in liquid phase at the working temperature. Application of a heterogeneous liquid phase is also possible.

- Fremgangsmåten kan hensiktsmessig utføres ved en temperatur - The method can conveniently be carried out at a temperature

i området 120 - 180°C. Kokepunktet for cykloheksanon er en egnet temperatur. in the range 120 - 180°C. The boiling point of cyclohexanone is a suitable temperature.

Omsetningen utføres fortrinnsvis under anvendelse av cykloheksanon som oppløsningsmiddel, men hvis et inert oppløsningsmiddel anvendes, er det ønskelig å holde en høy konsentrasjon av keton i reaksjonssonen. Det er også ønskelig at vann som dannes under pro-sessen, i størst mulig utstrekning fjernes straks det dannes, ettersom opphopning av vann i reaksjonsblandingen reduserer reaksjons-hastigheten. Fjernelse av det dannede vann oppnås hensiktsmessig, når dette er mulig, ved destillering av et azeotrop av ketonet og vann fra reaksjonssonen. Cykloheksanon danner azeotroper med vann, men hvis det er nødvendig, kan et inert azeotropdannende middel, f.eks. toluen, settes til reaksjonsblandingen. Spyling med inert gass kan også .anvendes for å fremme fjernelsen av vann. The reaction is preferably carried out using cyclohexanone as solvent, but if an inert solvent is used, it is desirable to maintain a high concentration of ketone in the reaction zone. It is also desirable that water formed during the process is removed to the greatest extent possible as soon as it is formed, as the accumulation of water in the reaction mixture reduces the reaction rate. Removal of the water formed is conveniently achieved, when possible, by distilling an azeotrope of the ketone and water from the reaction zone. Cyclohexanone forms azeotropes with water, but if necessary, an inert azeotrope-forming agent, e.g. toluene, is added to the reaction mixture. Flushing with inert gas can also be used to promote the removal of water.

Fortrinnsvis utelukkes oksygen fra reaksjonssonen, og omsetningen utføres i en inert atmosfære såsom nitrogen eller argon for å forhindre oksydasjon av ketonet. Preferably, oxygen is excluded from the reaction zone, and the reaction is carried out in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent oxidation of the ketone.

Det dannede 2-(1-cykloheksenyl)cykloheksanon dehydrogeneres lett til ortofenylfenol. Dette produkt er nyttig som fungicid og konserveringsmiddel. The 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)cyclohexanone formed is easily dehydrogenated to orthophenylphenol. This product is useful as a fungicide and preservative.

Cykloheksanon erholdes kommersielt ved oksydasjon av cykloheksan med molekylært oksygen, ofte i nærvær av katalysatorer såsom overgangsmetall- eller borforbindelser. Produktet ved denne oksydasjon er en blanding av cykloheksanol og cykloheksanon, men ettersom cykloheksanol er tilnærmet inert ved de betingelser som anvendes ved fremgangsmåten i henhold til oppfinnelsen9 er det ikke nødvendig at den skilles fra cykloheksanonet, og cykloheksanol/ cykloheksanon-blandingen kan anvendes som utgangsmateriale for fremgangsmåten. Cyclohexanone is obtained commercially by oxidation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen, often in the presence of catalysts such as transition metal or boron compounds. The product of this oxidation is a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, but as cyclohexanol is almost inert under the conditions used in the method according to the invention9, it is not necessary for it to be separated from the cyclohexanone, and the cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone mixture can be used as starting material for the procedure.
