Description
Patented Dec. 28, 1943 HALOGENATION OF NITRO COMPOUNDS Earl 'r. McBee and Elizabeth F. RileyeWest Lafayette, Ind., assignors .to Purdue Research Foundation, La Fayette, Ind., a corporation of Indiana No Drawing. Application August 3, 1940,
Serial No. 351,142
1'] Claims.
Our invention relates to the chlorination of nitro compounds, and more specifically to the chlorination of organic compounds having a saturated group of at least 2 carbon atomswith a free nitro group attached thereto.
The chlorination of free nitro compounds, as opposed to salts of nitro compounds, is disclosed in our co-pending application, Serial No. 351,141. In accordance with the disclosure of this application, nitro compounds having a saturated group of at least 2 carbon atoms with a free nitro group attached thereto, are subjected to substitutive chlorination, to obtain chloronitro compounds in which the chlorine and nitro group are attached to different carbon atoms.
In this manner all of the various monochlorinated derivatives having the chlorine and nitro groups attached to different carbon atoms, may be prepared, and polychlorinated derivatives may also be produced, if desired. The preferred procedure constitutes liquid phase chlorination, utilizing substantially anhydrous reactants.
We have now found that the yields and conversions obtainable in the liquid phase chlorination process may be considerably improved ii, in addition to employing substantially anhydrous reactants, the reaction mixture is subjected to the action of a dehydrating agent during the chlorination reaction. Since no water is formed in the substitutive chlorination reaction, it is difficult to explain the improved results obtainable by the use of a dehydrating agent. It is possible .that small amounts of water are formed in some side reaction, with a resulting adverse effect on the chlorination reaction, but it is to be understood that our invention is not to be construed as limited to any particular theory of its operation.
The present process is applicable to the chlorination of any organic compound having a saturated group of at least 2 carbon atoms, such as an aliphatic or alicyclic group, with a free nitro group attached thereto. Our process is particularly suited for the chlorination of nitro hydrocarbons, and especially nitroalkanes of at least 2 carbon atoms. Chlorine is preferably employed as the chlorinating agent, but other-chlorinating agents which are suitable for the chlorination of aliphatic hydrocarbons, and which are not adversely affected by the presence of nitro groups, may also be used if desired.
The chlorination may be carried out in accordance with known practices for the liquid phase chlorination of aliphatic hydrocarbons, and our invention is especially suited for use inliquid phase photochemical chlorinations. The procedures for the various liquid phase chlorinations may follow in all respects the methods described in U. S. Serial No. 351,141. referred to above. Reaction times and temperatures, and the amount and kind of light employed, may be chosen in accordance with prior practices, and our invention is not limited to any particular procedure in this respect. Any of the various modifications of procedure, previously used in this art, may be followed, and our present invention differs from the prior art only in the use of a dehydrating agent.
Our chlorination process is particularly applicable tochlorination of various nitro hydrocarcons, and especially the nitroalkanes containing 2 or more carbon atoms. As examples of the nitro compounds which may be treated in accordance with our invention, there may be mentioned nitroethane, l-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1 nitrobutane, 2-nitrobutane, 1-nitro-2-methylpropane, nitrocyclohexanes, phenylnitroethane, and the like.
Any dehydrating agent which is chemically inert to the reactants, and which has dehydrating action under the conditions of the reaction, may be employed. As examples of such agents, there may be mentioned phosphorus pentoxide, anhydrous calcium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and dehydrated silica gel. We prefer to employ phosphorus pentoxide in most cases.
The dehydrating agent may be maintained in the reaction mixture in the reaction zone during the entire reaction. Alternatively, the reaction mixture may be circulated successively through the reaction zone, then in contact with an insoluble dehydrating agent, and then recycled back to the reaction zone. Various other modifications or equivalent procedures will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The amount of dehydrating agent to be employed will depend upon the particular agent chosen. and the procedure utilized. If the dehydrating agent is extremely inert, chemically, or is not maintained in the reaction mixture throughout the reaction, a large excess over that required will usually have no adverse effects.
However, in the case of more reactive dehydrating agents such as phosphorus pentoxide, it is usually desirable to employ the minimum amount which is effective in producing the maximum increase in yield and conversion. We prefer to employ phosphorus pentoxide in amounts ranging from 0.01% to 1.0% by weight, based on the weight of the nitro compound being chlorinated.

It is to be understood of course, that the above examples are merely illustrative, and donot limit the scope 01' our invention. As has previously been pointed out our invention is broadly applicable to the liquid phase photochemical chlorination of nitro compounds having a saturated group of at least two carbon atoms, with a free nitro group attached thereto, and is not limited to any particular nitro compounds, chlorinating agents, or chlorination procedure. In general it may be said that the use or any equivalents, or modifications of procedure, which occur to those skilled in the art, is included in the scope of our invention.
