Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved process for the production of alkylor cycloalkyl tin halides by the direct reaction of metallic tin with alkylor cycloalkyl halides, comprising carrying out the reaction in the presence of an organo-antimony compound, or a mixture consisting of organo-antimony compounds as a catalyst.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of alkylor cycloalkyl tin halides, respectively, by the direction reaction of metallic tin with alkyland cycloalkyl halides, respectively, or mixtures of alkyland/or cycloalkyl halides.
  • alkyl halides in which the alkyl group contains more than four carbon atoms.
  • the reaction may be carried out in the presence of an alcohol, an ether, an ester or tetrahydrofuran and in the presence of certain metals and/or alkyl metal halides.
  • specific solvents however, is a serious drawback of this known process.
  • alkyl tin halides by direct reaction of metallic tin with alkyl halides, by means of which process both alkyl bromides and alkyl chlorides with lower alkyl groups, such as the ethyl-, propyland butyl compounds, and alkyl bromides and alkyl chlorides with higher alkyl groups, such as the hexyl-, heptyland octyl compounds, as well as cycloalkyl halides, such as the cyclohexyl compounds, can be converted to mixtures of the corresponding alkyland cycloalkyl tin halides, respectively, with good yields, and without the necessity of using specific solvents.
  • the process for the production of alkyl or cycloalkyl tin halides by the direct reaction of metallic tin with alkylor cycloalkyl halides, respectively, or mixtures of alkyl and/or cycloalkyl halides at higher temperatures is characterised by the fact, that the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of an organo-antimony compound or a mixture consisting of organo-antimony compounds.
  • dialkyland dicycloalkyl tin dihalides are obtained as the main product of the reaction
  • monoalkyland monocycloalkyl tin trihalides are formed as by-products, as well as, most often in smaller quantities, the trialkyland tricycloalkyl tin monohalides, respectively.
  • organo-antimony compound a compound of trivalent or pentavalent antimony, in which at least one alkyl-, alkenyl-, cycloalkyl-, aryl-, alkarylor aralkyl group is directly bonded to an antimony atom. If there are two or more of the said groups in the compound, these groups may diifer.
  • Compounds of a more complex structure such as tetraorgano diantimony compounds or complexes of tetraorgano antimony with metal halides or with halogens, are also included in the above definition.
  • organo-antimony compounds which may be used as catalysts according to this invention: triethyl antimony, tri-n-butyl antimony, tri-isobutyl antimony, di-n-butyl antimony bromide, dim-butyl antimony chloride, monobutyl antimony dibromide, ethyl dibutyl antimony, tetrabutyl antimony bromide, tri-butyl antimony dibromide, diethyl tributyl antimony, tri-n-octyl antimony, di-noctyl antimony bromide, divinyl antimony bromide, tricyclohexyl antimony, triphenyl antimony, diphenyl antimony chloride, phenyl antimony dibromide, tetraphenyl antimony bromide, tolyl antimony dibromide, tribenzyl antimony, tetraphenyl diantimony, bis(tetrabuty1 antimony
  • the organoantimony compounds are mostly added in amounts varying from 1 to 8 mol. percent, calculated on the tin used, preferably in amounts from 3 to 5 mol. percent.
  • an organo-antimony compound in which the organic group(s) is (are) the same as the alkylor cycloalkyl group, respectively, in the halide to be converted is advisable to use, as a catalyst, an organo-antimony compound in which the organic group(s) is (are) the same as the alkylor cycloalkyl group, respectively, in the halide to be converted.
  • the iodide can also be added in the form of an alkylor cycloalkyl tin iodide, respectively, e.g. as dialkyl tin diiodide or tin tetraiodide.
  • the process according to this invention may be carried out using the amounts of alkylor cycloalkyl halide, respectively, and tin in proportions which can be varied within wide limits.
  • tin in proportions which can be varied within wide limits.
  • the form and quality of the tin used as the starting material are not determinative for the carrying out of the process. In most cases, it is possible to achieve a very good reaction when using tin in the form of fine shavings but is is also possible to use fine or coarser powdered tin as the starting material.
  • the reaction is carried out at temperatures between 130 and 210 C.; the reaction temperature is preferably chosen between 160 and 180 C.
  • the process can be carried out both in a closed system under pressure and in an open system under atmospheric pressure, in which case the evaporating liquid is recycled by means of a reflux condenser.
  • the reaction mixture obtained can be further processed and the alkylor cycloalkyl tin halides, respectively, can be purified according to known processes, e.g. by means of distillation.
  • the alkylor cycloalkyl tin halides can be purified according to known processes, e.g. by means of distillation.
  • For an analytical determination of the composition of the mixture good use can be made of the gas chromatographic method.
  • alkylor cycloalkyl tin halides obtained according to the process of the present invention, in particular the dialkylor dicycloalkyl tin dihalides, constitute valuable intermediates for the preparation of alkylor cycloalkyl tin compounds, respectively, which are applied as plastics additives.
  • EXAMPLE 1 6.0 g. pure tin in the form of fine shavings (0.1 to 0.3 mm. thick) and 21.0 g. n-butyl bromide are introduced into a Carius tube. After the air has been displaced by nitrogen 0.5 g. di-n-butyl antimony bromide is added and the tube is next heated under autogenous pressure at 180 C. for 16 hours, during which the tin completely goes into solution.
  • reaction mixture is heated under autogenous pressure for 16 hours at180 C. in a Carius tube, in which the air has been displaced by nitrogen. After the experiment has been completed, the reaction mixture is further processed in the same way as described in Example 1.
  • EXAMPLE 5 A mixture of the same composition as indicated in Example 4, in which the tri-n-butyl antimony is replaced by triphenyl antimony, after being heated at 180 C. for 16 hours gives the following yields based upon added tin: di-n-bu-tyl tin dichloride 53.8%, n-butyl tin trichloride 19.6% and tri-n-butyl tin chloride nil.
  • EXAMPLE 7 A mixture of: G. Tin 6.0 n-Octyl bromide 24.9 n-Octyl iodide 2.0
  • EXAMPLE 9 A mixture of: G. Tin (shavings of 0.1-0.3 mm.) 6.0 n-Octyl bromide 58.0
  • the autoclave is introduced after the air in the autoclave has been replaced by nitrogen.
  • the autoclave is next heated at 175 C. for three hours, whilst the stirrer is rotated at a velocity of 480 rotations/min. During the reaction the pressure rises to approx. 9 kg./cm.
  • organo-antimony compound catalyst is present in an amount of from 3 mol percent to 5 mol percent.
  • organo-antimony compound catalyst contains only alkyl or cycloalkyl groups corresponding to said organic halides selected from the group consisting of alkyl halides and cycloalkyl halides.
  • part of said organoantimony compound catalyst is the antimony-containing distillation residues from a previous reaction.
  • a process for the production of n-butyl tin chlorides which consists essentially of reacting metallic tin with n-butyl chloride in a molecular ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 in the presence of from 3 mol percent to 5 mol percent, based on the amount of tin, of tri-n-butyl antimony and in the presence of from 0.5 mol percent to 10 mol percent, calculated on the amount of n -butyl chloride, of n-butyl iodide, at a temperature of between. 160 C. and 180 C and recovering said n-butyl tin chlorides.
