Beach, Mountainside, N. J., assignor to Standard Oil Development Company, a corporation of Delaware Application September 2'7, 1944, Serial No. 555,936
This invention relates to improvements in the 10 Claims. (Cl. 260-6832) interconversion"ofisomers of tertiary olefins, and
it relates p rticularly to the interconversion of 2-methylbutene-1 and 2-methylbutene-2.
Olefins are known to react with phenols in the presence of a catatlyst at temperatures ranging from to 100 C. to form alkyl phenols and the alkyl phenols may be decomposed to phenols and olefins by the use of heat in the presence of catalysts. This method has been used for separating tertiary olefins which react more readily with the phenols, from mixtures of hydrocarbons containing both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
According to this invention it has now been found that phenols (cresols, xylenols, etc.) may be used to react with tertiary amylenes in mixtures of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons containingS carbon atoms, and that the alkylated phenols upon being decomposed by heat or reduced pressure in the presence of a catalyst to regenerate the phenol result in the formation of an equilibrium mixture of 2-methylbutene-l and 2-methylbutene-2. It has further been found that if the undesired isomer is separated from the equilibrium mixture and alkylated with more or regenerated phenol to form more alkylated phenols, the subsequent decomposition of the alkyl phenol results in another similar equilibrium mixture of the isomers of tertiary amylenes regardless of which one was alkylated initially. This discovery allows a high yield of the desired isomer to be obtained regardless of its concentration in the feed.
Catalysts found to be more or less satisfactory for the alkylation step include all nuclear condensation catalysts, such as sulfuric acid, sulfuric esters, aromatic sulfonic acids, zinc, aluminum and tin chlorides and boron fluorides, the most satisfactory of which are benzenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid. For the regeneration step the same catalysts are more or less satisfactory, the most satisfactory being benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid and the alkyl esters of both.
This invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawing where a mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons of carbon atoms containing tertiary amylenes is passed through pipe I into the bottom of alkylation tower 2 where this mixture passes in countercurrent flow at atmospheric or higher pressure to a phenol introduced into this alkylation tower 2 by means of pipe 3. The unreacted hydrocarbons are removed from the top of the tower by means or pipe 4 and the alkylated phenol is re moved from the bottom of the tower by means of pipe 5 and passed to stripper 6. Stripper 6 also operating under pressure if desired is provided with a reboiler section Lwhere steam pipes or other means of heating not shown are used to raise the temperature. From stripper 6 are removed by means .of pipe 8 the hydrocarbons that have not reacted with the phenol. These hydrocarbons may be recycled by means of pipe 9 to inlet pipe I or may be removed from the circuit by means of pipe Ill. The alkylated phenol substantially free of any unreacted hydrocarbons is then passed through pipe ll into fractionatlng tower 42, operating at a pressure equal to or below those of towers 2 and '6, which is provided with a regeneration section [3 where heat is supplied by means of steam pipes or other heating means (not shown). Product tertiary olefins are distilled overhead through pipe I4 and passed into distillation column l5 by means of pipes IE or IT. The regenerated phenol is removed from the regenerator section l3 by means of pipe 18 to flash tower l 9 or bypassing the flash tower l9 through pipe 20 to phenol feed lines 3. From flash tower [9 the stream of high boiling bottoms is discarded through pipe 2| and the purified phenol passed through pipe 22 to pipe 20. From distillation column IS an overhead product of 2-met-hylbutene-l is obtained through pipe 23 and a bottoms of 2-methylbutene-2 is obtained through pipe 24. If it is desired to obtain substantially Z-methylbutene-l, the 2-methylbutene-2 obtained by means of pipe-24 may be recycled by means of pipes 25 and 26 to alkylation tower 2. If it is desired to obtain substantially 2-methylbutene-2, the overhead product of 2-methy1butene-1 may be passed by means of pipes 23, 21, 25 and 26 to reactor 2. In either case a partof the recycle stream may be sent to the stripper 6 by means of pipes 25 and 28 or if desired pure product could be used for stripping via line 29. By these means it is possible to obtain substantially pure 2-methylbutene-1 or 2-methylbutene-2 or both in maximum yield and substantially pure form.
Example 1 3 190-210 C. The C5 product had a refractive index of 1.3851 corresponding to about 20% 2- methylbutene-i, and this product was further distilled to obtain 2-methylbutene-1 having a boiling point of 31.05 and an index of refraction of 1.3777 and another fraction having a refractive index of 1.3869 and a boiling point of 38.49 C.
Example 2 Pure (99+%) trimethylethylene (one mol) was- Example 3 2.23 mols amylenes, 0.98 mol phenol and 0.0011 mol phenolsulfonic acid were heated for 2 hours at 60 C. in a bomb. The unreacted hydrocarbons were stripped oil and the alkylated phenol decomposed by heat. The index of the recovered tertiary amylenes was 1.3848 which corresponds to an equilibrium mixture containing about 22% 2-methylbutene-1.
Conversely it may be shown that a feed containing no trimethylethylene but only 2-methylbutene-l may be contacted with a phenol in the presence of a catalyst and upon regeneration of the resulting alkylated phenol at 200 C. an equilibrium mixture of trimethylethylene and 2- methylbutene-l is obtained. This mixture may be fractionated, and pure trimethylethylene removed for use and the 2-methylbutene-1 recycled to the akylation step,
Although this invention deals specifically with tertiary amylenes it is recognized thatisomers of higher tertiary olefin isomers may also be isolated in a similar manner; i. e. 2,3-dimethylbutene-2 (B. P. 733 C.) and 2,3-dimethylbutene-1 (B. P. 55.8 C.).
Also, the regenerations are not limited to the range of 190 to 200 C. but may be carried out at higher or lower temperatures under suitable pressures to give mor or less 2-methylbutene-1 in the isomeric mixture of products. The maximum regeneration temperature will usually be fixed by the boiling point (at the regeneration pressure) of the alkylated phenol, and much lower temperatures may be used depending upon the nature and amount of the catalyst and the ease of dealkylation of the alkylated phenol.
This invention may also be applied in'the a1- kylation and dealkylation of other aromatic com pounds (hydrocarbons, etc.) containing a nuclear replaceable hydrogen and which are capable of alkylation by tertiary olefins.
