Definitions

  • a compound of the formula CllzCOOR 4 are useful as oiling agents for synthetic fibers and as synthetic lubricating oilbases.
  • This invention relates to a process for preparing esters of adamantane-l-acetic acid. More particularly, it relates to a process for preparing esters of adamantanel-acetic acid and alkyladamantane-l-acetic acid with higher alcohols having from 4 to carbon atoms.
  • R is selected from the group of hydrocarbon radicals having 4 to 20 carbon atoms consisting of (a) linear and branch-chain alkyls and alkenyls, and (b) monocyclic and polycyclic cycloalkyls and cycloalkenyls; and R is H or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • adamantanel -acetic acid and its ring-substituted alkyl derivatives can be esterified with various higher alcohols according to known methods.
  • the present invention provides a method of preparing the novel esters by the reaction of adamantanel-acetic acid, or ring-substituted derivatives thereof, with straight-chain or branched-chain noncyclic or monoor polycyclic alkanols or alkenols in the presence of an acid, neutral or basic catalyst.
  • esters contain the adamantane ring which renders the molecule high thermal stability as well as providing many characteristic advantageous propertiesnot encountered in usual fatty esters. Therefore, these novel esters are very useful as components of oiling agents for synthetic fibers, as synthetic lubricating oil bases, particularly for airplane usage, and for many other purposes.
  • the object of the present invention can be achieved by heating adamantane-l-acetic acid or ringsubstituted alkyl derivatives thereof with the said higher alcohols in the presence of esterification catalysts.
  • the effective catalysts to be used in the present reaction include acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, boron trifluoride and the like, neutral or alkaline catalysts such as oxides or hydroxides of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, zinc, cadmium, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth and the like, all the other known esterification catalysts being included.
  • Examples of the ring-substituted derivatives of adamantane-l-acetic acid are 3-methyl-, 3,5-dimethyl-, 3,5,7-trimethyl-, 3-methyl-5-ethyl-, 3,5-dimethyl-7- ethyl-, and 3-n-propyl-adamantyl-l-acetic acid.
  • the reactivities of substituted derivatives are quite similar to that of the unsubstituted adamantane-l-acetic acid in the esterification reaction of the present invention.
  • the said higher alcohols having 4 to 20 carbon atoms include straight-chain alkanols such as n-butyl alcohol, n-amyl alcohol, n-hexyl alcohol, n-octyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol; branched chain alkanols such as i-butyl alcohol, i-amyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexanol-l 2-methyl-dodecanol-1 straightchain alkenols such as crotyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol and the like; branched-chain alkenols such as methallyl alcohol and the like; monocyclic alkanols such as cyclohe'xanol, methylcyclohexanols, cyclohexyl carbinol; monocyclic unsaturated alcohols such as 2-cycl0hexenol; saturated polycyclic alcohols such as 2-decalo
  • the amount of the catalyst to be used in the present esterification reaction is generally in the range of 0.0001 to 0.1 equivalent, preferably 0.0005 to 0.005 equivalent, per mole of the starting carboxylic acid.
  • the present esterification reaction can be completed within 24 hours.
  • the reaction temperature used in the esterification reaction according to the invention is substantially the same as those used in the esterification of ordinary aliphatic carboxylic acids, namely, in the range of 30 to 300 C, preferably 50 to 270 C.
  • the water produced during the esterification reaction can be removed from the reaction system by any of the known methods such as distillation under reduced pressure, removal by passing an inert gas through the reaction mixture, or use of an azeotropic dehydrating agent. It is preferable in the present process to use an excess of acid rather than an excess of the alcohol if the esters of high boiling point alcohols are to be prepared. Use of excess acid, however, causes the trouble of sublimation of the acid. This is prevented very effectively by the use of an azeotropic dehydration solvent such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene and the like.
  • an azeotropic dehydration solvent such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene and the like.
  • reaction mixture was washed successively with cold water, then with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (until the washings became distinctly alkaline) and then with cold water, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate and fractionated under reduced pressure.
  • EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of Z-ethylhexyl ester of adamantane-l- Nineteen and four tenths (19.4) parts of adamantane-l-aceticacid, 16.93 parts of 2-ethylhexanol, 0.1 1 part of zinc oxide and 5.0 parts of xylene were placed in the reaction vessel as described in Example 1, and the mixture was heated to 210 C for 6 hours with stirring while separating the water formed during the reaction.
  • a reaction mixture comprising 15.54 parts of adamantane-l-acetic acid, 18.63 parts of lauryl alcohol, 0.10 part of stannous oxide and 8.0 parts by volume of xylene was stirred at 210-220 C for 10 hours in the reaction flask as described in Example 1.
  • reaction mixture was diluted with xylene as in the case of Example 2, treated with warm water. and washed with sodium bicarbonate and water. dried over anhydrous sodium bicarbonate and then fractionated in vacuo.
  • a mixture comprising 19.40 parts of adamantane-1- acetic acid, 19.80 parts of 2-exo-hydroxy-exotrimethylenenorbornane, 012 part of zinc oxide, and 10 parts of xylene was stirred at a temperature below 230 for 8 hours.
