Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.-butylfenol ved alkylering av fenol med isobutylen ved for-høyet temperatur i nærvær av en aluminiumfenolatkatalysator. The present invention relates to the production of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol by alkylation of phenol with isobutylene at an elevated temperature in the presence of an aluminum phenolate catalyst.

2,6-di-tert.butylfenol er brukbart når det gjelder organiske synteser og spesielt for fremstilling av fenoliske stabili-satorer som benyttes for stabilisering av syntetisk gummi, plastikk og syntetiske fibre. 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol is useful when it comes to organic syntheses and especially for the production of phenolic stabilizers which are used to stabilize synthetic rubber, plastics and synthetic fibres.

En kjent fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butyl-fenol omfatter alkylering av fenol med et olefin i nærvær av aluminiumfenolat. Denne fremgangsmåte er beskrevet av G.N. Harlampovich og GU.V. Churkin i "Phenols", s. 226, A known method for the production of 2,6-di-tert.butyl-phenol comprises the alkylation of phenol with an olefin in the presence of aluminum phenolate. This procedure is described by G.N. Harlampovich and GU.V. Churkin in "Phenols", p. 226,

1974 . 1974.

Denne kjente fremgangsmåte gjør det mulig å oppnå 2,6-di-tert . butylfenol i et utbytte på 75-78 vekt-%, mens 22-25% utgjør biprodukter, nemlig para-tert.butylfenol, 2,4-di-tert.butylfenol og tri-tert.butylfenol. This known method makes it possible to obtain 2,6-di-tert. butylphenol in a yield of 75-78% by weight, while 22-25% are by-products, namely para-tert.butylphenol, 2,4-di-tert.butylphenol and tri-tert.butylphenol.

Videre er det kjent en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol ved alkylering av fenol med isobutylen i nærvær av aluminiumklorid under et trykk på 7 0 atmosfærer (se US patent nr. 2.923.745). Ved denne fremgangsmåte er produktutbyttet 56-60 vekt-%. Furthermore, a method is known for the production of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol by alkylating phenol with isobutylene in the presence of aluminum chloride under a pressure of 70 atmospheres (see US patent no. 2,923,745). In this method, the product yield is 56-60% by weight.

Også kjent fra den ovenfor nevnt bok er en fremgangsmåte Also known from the above-mentioned book is a procedure

for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol ved alkylering av fenol med isobutylen i nærvær av aluminiumfenolat ved en temperatur på 150°C under et trykk fra 45-50 atmosfærer. for the production of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol by alkylation of phenol with isobutylene in the presence of aluminum phenolate at a temperature of 150°C under a pressure of 45-50 atmospheres.

Utbyttet av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol er 76-79 vekt-%. På tross av det høye produktutbyttet har denne fremgangsmåte mangler som ligger i nødvendigheten av å benytte et kompli-sert prosessutstyr på grunn av anvendelsen av høye trykk og temperaturer. The yield of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol is 76-79% by weight. Despite the high product yield, this method has shortcomings which lie in the necessity of using a complicated process equipment due to the application of high pressures and temperatures.

Det skal videre henvises til US-PS 3.426.082 og de eksempler i beskrivelsen i dette patent der det anvendes katalysator uten halogenider. Spesielt under henvisning til kolonne 9, tabell VIII og IX, angis sammensetningen av alkylfenoler fremstilt i disse eksempler og det fremgår at det gjennom-føres en praktisk talt fullstendig alkylering av fenol (spesielt i henhold til tabell IX) for å oppnå det ønskede produkt 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol samt biproduktene, 2,4-di-tert.butylfenol og 2,4,6-tri-tert.butylfenol, noe som viser at anvendelse av slike katalysatorer for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol er problematisk. Further reference should be made to US-PS 3,426,082 and the examples in the description in this patent where a catalyst without halides is used. In particular with reference to column 9, tables VIII and IX, the composition of alkylphenols produced in these examples is indicated and it appears that a practically complete alkylation of phenol is carried out (especially according to table IX) to obtain the desired product 2 ,6-di-tert.butylphenol as well as the by-products, 2,4-di-tert.butylphenol and 2,4,6-tri-tert.butylphenol, which shows that the use of such catalysts for the production of 2,6-di- tert.butylphenol is problematic.

Gjenstand for foreliggende oppfinnelse er å forbedre fremgangsmåten for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol for' The object of the present invention is to improve the process for the production of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol for

å øke produktutbyttet med en samtidig forenkling av prosess-teknologien . to increase the product yield with a simultaneous simplification of the process technology.

Oppfinnelsen angår i henhold til dette en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol ved alkylering av fenol med isobutylen ved forhøyet temperatur i nærvær av en aluminiumfenolatkatalysator, og denne fremgangsmåte karakteriseres ved at det som aluminiumfenolatkatalysator anvendes fenoksyorto-tert.butylfenoksyhydroaluminiumsyre med formelen: Accordingly, the invention relates to a method for the production of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol by alkylating phenol with isobutylene at elevated temperature in the presence of an aluminum phenolate catalyst, and this method is characterized by the fact that phenoxyortho-tert.butylphenoxyhydroaluminum acid is used as the aluminum phenolate catalyst with the formula:

hvor n er 1-3, m er 1-3, under forutsetning av at n + m = 4. where n is 1-3, m is 1-3, provided that n + m = 4.

Fortrinnsvis gjennomføres alkyleringen ved en temperatur innen området 100-110°C. The alkylation is preferably carried out at a temperature in the range 100-110°C.

Denne katalysator gjør det mulig å gjennomføre prosessen under milde betingelser, f.eks. under atmosfæriske trykk, og å øke produktselektiviteten for det ønskede produkt til • opptil 90-95% og som et resultat et produktutbytte på This catalyst makes it possible to carry out the process under mild conditions, e.g. under atmospheric pressure, and to increase the product selectivity for the desired product to • up to 90-95% and as a result a product yield of

80% (vekt-%). 80% (weight %).

Fremgangsmåten ifølge oppfinnelsen gjennomføres på følgende måte. The method according to the invention is carried out in the following way.

Fenol og den ovenfor angitte katalysator tilføres en reak-tor, blandingen oppvarmes til 100-110°C og isobutylenet føres gjennom i 8 timer. Det resulterende alkylat underkastes en vakuum-rektifisering. Etter omkrystallisering av produktet fra alifatiske hydrokarboner oppnås et 100% rent 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol. Phenol and the above-mentioned catalyst are fed into a reactor, the mixture is heated to 100-110°C and the isobutylene is passed through for 8 hours. The resulting alkylate is subjected to a vacuum rectification. After recrystallization of the product from aliphatic hydrocarbons, a 100% pure 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol is obtained.

Alkyleringskatalysatoren kan fremstilles ved å omsette aluminiumfenolat med orto-tert.butylfenol fra alkylat-rektifiseringen. Katalysatormengden ved alkyleringspro-sessen kan varieres innen området 0,5 til 1 vekt-% beregnet på aluminium. The alkylation catalyst can be prepared by reacting aluminum phenolate with ortho-tert-butylphenol from the alkylate rectification. The amount of catalyst in the alkylation process can be varied within the range of 0.5 to 1% by weight calculated on aluminium.

Fremgangsmåten gjennomføres slik som nevnt ovenfor ved en temperatur innen området 100-110°C. Alkylering ved en temperatur under 100°C resulterer i et redusert utbytte av 2,6-di-tert.butylfenol, mens alkylering ved en temperatur over 110°C resulterer i en uønsket forandring i sammensetningen av alkylfenoler og en øket mengde av biprodukter. The procedure is carried out as mentioned above at a temperature within the range of 100-110°C. Alkylation at a temperature below 100°C results in a reduced yield of 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol, while alkylation at a temperature above 110°C results in an undesirable change in the composition of alkylphenols and an increased amount of by-products.
