Description

United States Patent 3,290,370 PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF META- HALOSULFONYLBENZOYL HALIDE Edward D. Weil, Lewiston, N.Y., and Robert J. Lisanke,
Sr., Pitman, N.J., assignors to Hooker Chemical Corggoraition, Niagara Falls, N.Y., a corporation of New or No Drawing. Filed May 27, 1963, Ser. No. 283,571 6 Claims. (Cl. 260-544) The present invention is concerned with a process for the preparation of m-halosulfonylbenzoyl halides. More specifically, the present invention relates to the reaction of benzotrihalide and a sulfonating agent.
It has been known that sulphonyl chlorides are formed by the action of chlorosulfonic acid on aromatic hydrocarbons and that the yields of sulphonyl chlorides obtained may be increased by increasing the chlorosulfonic acid used, as is disclosed in Berichte der deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, volume 42, page 1802.. Therefore, in the large scale manufacture of sulphonyl chlorides of aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorosulphonic acid is generally employed in a large excess, or to avoid this necessity, the sulphonylchlorides are prepared from the sulphonic acids by reaction with phosphorus chlorides.
It has also been known that sulphonyl chlorides of aromatic carboxylic acids are obtained by the action of chlorosulphonic acid in large excess upon aromatic carboxylic acids, as, for example, in the conversion of an aromatic carboxylic acid chloride into the sulphonylchloride of the aromatic carboxylic acid by means of a large excess (14 mols) of chlorosulphonic acid (J. Chem. Soc. (London), 1934).
These processes yield chlorosulfonyl aroyl acids. Further reaction with an acylating agent such as PCl S Cl and the like, is required to convert the product to chlorosulfonyl aroyl chloride. Ingeneral, therefore, these processes are multi-step, requiring the utilization of costly reagents and equipment.
In accordance with the present invention benzotrihalide is reacted with a sulphonating agent in the presence of heat. The reaction may be exemplified by the following equation:
' o ox heat xso n 2 SOzX wherein X is a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine. It is surprisingly found that no substantial excess of halosulfonic acid is required, and that the dibasic acid dihalide is obtained directly in good yield and under moderate conditions. This result is especially surprising in view of the well known deactivating effect of a trihalomethyl group toward electrophilic substitution on the aromatic ring. Illustrative examples of the benzotrihalide starting reagent include benzotrichloride and benzotribromide. Among the sulfonating agents which may be utilized to practice the present invention are chlorosulfonic acid and bromosulfonic acid.
The reaction is generally accomplished by heating and stirring mixtures of the reactants until the evolution of hydrogen halide ceases. Reaction temperatures will vary with the reactivity of the particular starting reactants. Such a temperature will generally be in the range of from about 50 degrees centigrade to about 200 degrees centigrade. The preferred temperature employed in the practice of the present invention is in the range of about 60 degrees centigrade to about 150 degrees centigrade.
The reagents are generally utilized in substantially equimolar amounts, but may be varied if desired. Generally ice the molar ratio of halosulfonic acid to benzotrihalide is in the range of less than 1:1 to about 6:1 with the preferred range being about 2 moles of halosulfonic acid to about 1 mole of benzotrichloride.
Pressures employed in effecting the processes of the present invention are conveniently about atmospheric but subor super-atmospheric pressures may be employed. The pressure can obviously be as low as the vapor pressure of the halosulfonic acid starting reactant at operating temperatures. Pressures as high as those obtained in autoclaves e.g. 1,000 atmospheres, can be employed.
A solvent is not generally necessary but one can be used to moderate or facilitate the reaction. Among the solvents which may be used are sulfonation-resistant solvents such as chlorobenzenes, nitrobenzenes, nitroalkanes, chloroalkanes, and the like. Other solvents of high enough boiling point to maintain the required reaction temperature and which do not react with either of the selected starting reagents may be utilized.
In a preferred embodiment benzotrichloride is added to chlorosulfonic acid in the presence of heat until the evolution of hydrogen halide has been completed and the resulting mixture is then purified, which may be done conveniently by distillation or other suitable means. The reaction may be illustrated by the following equation:
heat m 0180 11 S0201 21101 In order that those skilled in the art may better understand the present invention, the manner in which it may be practiced, the following specific examples are given.
Example 1.-Pr0cess for preparing m-chlorosulfonylbenzoylchloride from benzotrichloride 543 grams (4.65 moles) of chlorosulfonic acid were heated to a temperature of about 60 degrees centigrade in a flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer and addition funnel, and 392 grams (2 moles) benzotrichloride were added dropwise to the warm chlorosulfonic acid with stirring. The addition was accompanied by evolution of hydrogen chloride gas, which continued for about two hours after the addition was completed. After the addition was complete the temperature of the reaction mixture was brought to about 130 degrees centigrade for about two hours, until little or no further evolution of hydrogen chloride wa observed. Distillation of the mixture results in about a percent yield of metachlorosulfonyl benzoyl chloride, of boiling point of 161-3 degrees centigrade at 9 mm. mercury. Approximately 60 parts of chlorosulfonic acid is recovered in the foreshot, along with a little HCl and S0 Example 2 Similar to Example 1, 196 grams benzotrichloride was added over a two hour period to 175 grams of chlorosulfonic acid at to 127 degrees centigrade with agitation. The temperature was maintained at 120 degrees centigrade for 2.5 hours and the product was distilled. 193 grams of rnetachloros-ulfonyl benzoyl chloride was obtained as identified by infrared analysis.
While there have been described various embodiments of the invention, the methods and elements described are not intended to be understood as limiting the scope of the invention, as it is realized that changes therewithin are possible, and it is further intended that each element recited in any of the following claims is to be understood as referring to all equivalent elements for accomplishing substantially the same results in substantially the same or equivalent manner, it being intended to cover the invention broadly in whatever form its principle may be utilized.
