This invention relates to the preparation of nitriles.
More particularly this invention relates to a new process chemical or catalytic dehydration of amides, dehydration of cyanohydrins, and reaction of alkyl halides with alkali metal cyanides. However, because of the commercial importance of aliphatic nitriles, there is continued interest in finding new methods for their synthesis which ofier ease of operation over known methods or advantages of cost reduction from available starting materials.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new process for the preparation of aliphatic nitriles. A further object is to provide an easily operated process for preparing aliphatic nitriles from available starting materials. Other objects will appear hereinafter,
These objects are accomplished according to this invention by the following process for obtaining aliphatic nitriles which comprises pyrolyzing aliphatic hydrazones,
ketazines, ketimines and ketoximes at a temperature in excess of 375 C., and condensing the pyrolysate containing aliphatic nitrile and other pyrolysis products.
In one convenient method of operation, the aliphatic hydrazone, ketazine, ketimine, or ketoxime is passed through a reaction ZOE-8 heated to above 375 C. and the pyrolysis products are rapidly cooled to a temperature below 0 C. In practice, the reaction products are led directly from the reaction zone into a cold receiver. The exact temperature at which the receiver is maintained depends upon the nature of the reaction products. In some instances, temperatures as low as liquid nitrogen are useful, in others solid carbon dioxide/ acetone temperatures are adequate, while in others -50 C. will sufiice. The composition of the pyrolysis products can be determined either by mass spectrometry as in Example III or by infrared, as inthe remaining examples. The nitriles produced in accordance with this invention can be separated from other pyrolysis products, and purified, by distillation at normal pressure or at pressures below atmospheric, or by other means well known to those skilled in the art.
The pyrolysis can be effected in reaction vessels which are constructed of materials which are inert to the nitriles and to their precursors. Satisfactory materials are heatresistant glass, quartz, and inert metals. The vessel in which the pyrolysis is eflected is conveniently a cylindrical tube packed with an inert material, such as granular quartz, to improve heat transfer. Heat is applied to the reaction vessel by external means and a convenient source is an electrical heating coil.
The pressure at which the pyrolysis is effected is not critical but it is preferred to use pressures of 10 to 20 mm. or less. Especially good results are obtained when the pressure in the system (measured at a point following the cold receiver) is maintained at less than tenmicrons.
Patented Nov. 13, 1956 "ice The temperature at which. the pyrolysis is effected is in excess of 375 C. Usually, however, the pyrolysis is elfected at temperatures in the range of 400 to 1000 C. Because the best results from the standpoint of yield of desired products and reaction times are achieved in the range of 600 to 870 C., the pyrolysis is usually carried out at a temperature in this range.
The time of reaction depends on the pressure and temperature employed. It the pyrolysis is effected at temperatures of the order of 600 to 1000 C. and pressures of less than 10 microns, the time of reaction is usually one second or less. On the other hand, using higher pressure, e. g., 10 to 20 mm. and temperatures of the order of 375 to 600 C. the required reaction time may be longer.
The examples which follow are submitted to illustrate and not to limit this invention. Parts are by weight, unless otherwise stated.
EXAMPLE I Ten parts of acetoneazine are distilled through a cylindrical quartz tube (1 x 12") filled with quartz chips and heated at 700 C., the pressure in the system being held at approximately one micron of mercury (measured between the vacuum pump and the cold receiver). The pyrolysis products from the hot tube are led through a liquid nitrogen trap in which they condense. Analysis of these products by infrared absorption spectra shows ethane and acetonitrile to be present as major constituents. Similar results occur when the pyrolysis is carried out at 800 C.
EXAMPLE II Twenty parts of cyclohexanoneazine are dropped slowly through the apparatus and under the conditions described in Example I and the products condensed at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The major volatile pyrolysis products are acrylonitrile, C4 nitriles, and ethylene, as shown by infrared analysis.
EXAMPLE III Acetonitrile 2 Propionitrile 8 Acrylonitrile 58 C4 saturated uitrile 4 C4 unsaturated nitrile 20 C5 unsaturated nitrile 4 Cyanoprene (2-cyanobutadiene-l,3) 4
EXAMPLE IV Pyrolysis at 850 C. by sublimation of 10 parts of cyclopentanoneoxime through the system and under the pressure conditions described in Example I gives substantial quantities of ethylene and acrylonitrile together with hydroxyl group containing compounds, as determined by infrared analysis.
EXAMPLE V Ten parts of acetoneazine are passed through the apparatus and under the pressure conditions described in Example I at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 C. Infrared analysis shows that at 200 and 300 C., acetoneaziue is recovered unchanged, while at 400 C. and above, acetonitrile and ethane in increasing amounts are obtained.
EXAMPLE VI Ten parts of acetoneoxime are pyrolyzed at 800 C. in the apparatus and under the pressure conditions described in Example I. Infrared analysis shows that acetonitrile and ethane are the major pyrolysis products. No acetoneoxime is found in the pyrolysis products.
EXAMPLE VII wherein R and R are acyclic aliphatic groups, or when joined together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a cycloaliphatic group, and particularly are alkyl radicals, preferably of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or alkylene radicals which together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a carbocyclic ring, preferably of 5 to 7 ring carbon atoms, and X is hydrogen, or hydroxyl, or alkoxy, particularly of l to 12 carbon atoms, or acyloxy, preferably of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or monovalcnt aliphatic hydrocarbon, especially alkyl, particularly of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or amino, or
wherein R and R have the previously indicated meanings.
