Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydroformylation reaction catalyst composition including a bidentate phosphorus compound and a process for hydroformylation reaction using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for hydroformylation reaction of olefins to prepare aldehydes which includes stirring a transition metal catalyst modified with a nitrogen-containing bidentate phosphorus compound ligand, an olefin compound, and a mixed gas of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, under high temperature and pressure condition.
  • hydroformylation reaction also well known as an oxo reaction
  • oxo reaction is a process in which an olefin reacts with a synthesis gas (CO/H ) in the presence of a metal catalyst and a ligand to produce a linear (normal) or branched (iso) aldehyde which has one more carbon atom than the olefin.
  • CO/H synthesis gas
  • the oxo reaction was originally discovered in 1938 by a German scientist, Otto Roelen. About 8,400,000 tons of aldehydes (including alcohol derivatives) were produced by oxo reaction and consumed around the world in 2001 (SRI report, November 2002, 682. 700A).
  • Aldehydes produced by the oxo reaction are oxidized or reduced to their corresponding derivatives, acids or alcohols.
  • aldehydes can also be converted to long alkyl chain-containing acids or alcohols through aldol condensation and then oxidation or reduction.
  • the alcohols and acids thus produced are used as solvents, additives, materials of various plasticizers, etc.
  • ratio of linear (normal) to branched (iso) isomers selectivity of aldehydes varies according to the type of ligand used and operating conditions. To date, a rhodium- catalyzed, low-pressure oxo process has been adopted in at least 70% of oxo plants worldwide.
  • TPP triphenylphosphine

Description
PHSPHORUS-CONTAINING CATALYST COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR HYDROFORMYLATION REACTION USING
THE SAME
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a hydroformylation reaction catalyst composition including a bidentate phosphorus compound and a process for hydroformylation reaction using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for hydroformylation reaction of olefins to prepare aldehydes which includes stirring a transition metal catalyst modified with a nitrogen-containing bidentate phosphorus compound ligand, an olefin compound, and a mixed gas of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, under high temperature and pressure condition.
Background Art
[2] Generally, hydroformylation reaction, also well known as an oxo reaction, is a process in which an olefin reacts with a synthesis gas (CO/H ) in the presence of a metal catalyst and a ligand to produce a linear (normal) or branched (iso) aldehyde which has one more carbon atom than the olefin. The oxo reaction was originally discovered in 1938 by a German scientist, Otto Roelen. About 8,400,000 tons of aldehydes (including alcohol derivatives) were produced by oxo reaction and consumed around the world in 2001 (SRI report, November 2002, 682. 700A). Aldehydes produced by the oxo reaction are oxidized or reduced to their corresponding derivatives, acids or alcohols. In addition, aldehydes can also be converted to long alkyl chain-containing acids or alcohols through aldol condensation and then oxidation or reduction. The alcohols and acids thus produced are used as solvents, additives, materials of various plasticizers, etc.
[3] Currently, cobalt and rhodium catalysts are mainly used in an oxo process. The N/I
(ratio of linear (normal) to branched (iso) isomers) selectivity of aldehydes varies according to the type of ligand used and operating conditions. To date, a rhodium- catalyzed, low-pressure oxo process has been adopted in at least 70% of oxo plants worldwide.
[4] In addition to cobalt (Co) and rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru), osmium
(Os), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), etc. can be used as a central metal of an oxo catalyst. However, since it is known that the descending order of catalytic activity is as follows: Rh » Co > Ir, Ru > Os > Pt > Pd > Fe > Ni, most processes and studies have been focused on rhodium and cobalt. A ligand of the oxo catalyst may be phosphine (PR , R=C H , n-C H ), phosphine oxide (O=P(C H ) ), phosphite, amine, amide, isonitrile, etc. However, there are few ligands superior to triphenylphosphine (TPP) considering catalytic activity, stability, and costs. Thus, a rhodium catalyst modified with a TPP ligand is used in most oxo processes. Furthermore, it is known that a TPP ligand is used in an amount of 100 eq. or more based on rhodium metal present in the rhodium complex catalyst to increase catalyst stability.
[5] The Eastman Kodak Company and the Union Carbide Company (now a subsidiary of the Dow Chemical Company) developed a bidentate phosphine ligand imparting high activity and N/I selectivity to a catalyst, respectively. (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,694,109 and 4,668,651). It is known that a bisphosphite ligand developed by the Dow Chemical Company has been used in some plants.
[6] U.S. Pat. No. 6,653,485 discloses an asymmetric reaction using a chiral biaryl phosphine or phosphinite ligand and a transition metal catalyst. Even though this patent discloses that a nitrogen-containing bidentate phosphorous compound can be used as the ligand, it is silent about the actual application of the nitrogen-containing bidentate phosphorous compound in hydroformylation reaction.
[7] The industrial importance of normal aldehydes is currently remarkably increasing.
Thus, a catalyst composition that exhibits a high selectivity to normal-aldehyde or iso- aldehyde, and high catalytic activity at high temperature is needed. Disclosure of Invention

[47] wherein, [48] R 10 , R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , and R 15 are each hy Jdrogben,' an alky Jl g torou fp of 1-20 carbon atoms, an aryl group of 6-20 carbon atoms, a triarylsilyl group, a trialkylsilyl group, a carboalkoxy group represented by -CO R where R is an alkyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms or an aryl group of 6-20 carbon atoms, a carboaryloxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkoxy group, an alkylcarbonyl group, an arylcarbonyl group, an amide, a halogen, or a nitrile group.
[49] In the transition metal catalyst, the transition metal M may be cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), or iridium (Ir). More specifically, the transition metal catalyst may be acetylacet- onatodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ), acetylacetonatocarbonyltriphenylphos- phinerhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO)(TPP)), hydridocarbonyltri(triphenylphosphine)rhodium (HRh(CO)(TPP) ), acetylacetonatodicarbonyliridium (Ir(AcAc)(CO) ), or hydrido- carbonyltri(triphenylphosphine)iridium (HIr(CO)(TPP) ).
[50] In the catalytic reaction of the present invention, the content of the transition metal may be in the range from 50 to 500 ppm based on a reactant solution. If the content of the transition metal is less than 50 ppm, hydroformylation reaction may be retarded, which restricts industrial application. On the other hand, if it exceeds 500 ppm, process costs increase due to the increased use of an expensive transition metal. Furthermore, a reaction rate is not increased in proportion to the increased amount of the transition metal.
[51] The content of the bidentate ligand is in the range from 0.5 to 100 moles, preferably from 1 to 20 moles, based on 1 mole of the transition metal. If the content of the bidentate ligand is less than 0.5 moles, the stability of a catalyst system may be lowered. On the other hand, if it exceeds 100 moles, the increased use of the expensive ligand without additional benefits may increase process costs.
[52] Particularly preferably, the transition metal catalyst is acetylacetonatodicar- bonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ), and the bidentate ligand is 2,2'-bis [N-(diphenylphosphino)methylamino] -1,1 '-bipehnyl (BPNP- 1 ) .
[53] The olefin compound may be a compound selected from the group consisting of ethene, propene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, and styrene.
[54] A solvent that can be used in the hydroformylation reaction of the present invention may be aldehydes such as propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, and valeraldehyde; ketones such as acetone, methylethy Ike tone, methylisobutylketone, acetophenone, and cy- clohexanone; aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; halogenated aromatics such as orthodichlorobenzene; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxy ethane, and dioxane; halogenated paraffins such as methylene chloride; paraffin hydrocarbons such as heptane; etc. Aldehydes and aromatics such as toluene are preferable.
[55] The composition of the syngas (CO/H ) used in the hydroformylation reaction of the present invention may be changed within a broad range. Generally, the molar ratio of CO/H is in the range from about 5:95 to 70:30, preferably from about 40:60 to 60:40, particularly preferably about 1:1.
[56] Generally, the hydroformylation reaction is performed at a temperature of about 20 to 180 0C , preferably about 50 to 150 0C , and at a pressure of about 1 to 700 bar, preferably 1 to 300 bar.
[57] A process for preparing the compound of formula 1 will now be described in detail.
First, a compound of formula 4 below is dissolved in a solvent, and a base such as n- butyl lithium is added to the reactant solution with cooling to 0 0C or less to obtain an amine salt. A compound represented by XPR R (where X is a halogen, and R and R are as defined above) is dropwise added to the amine salt solution, and the resultant precipitate is then filtered, purified, and dried, to obtain a bidentate compound with a direct phosphorus -nitrogen bond as represented by formula 1.

The base may be selected from the group consisting of n-butyl lithium, tert-butyl lithium, sodium hydride (NaH), potassium hydride (KH), tri- ethylamine, and pyridine.
[62] In the compound represented by XPR R , X may be chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), or iodine (I), R and R may each be a phenyl group, a phenyloxy group, an alkyl group, or an alkyloxy group.
[63] A catalyst composition according to the present invention including a nitrogen- containing bidentate phosphorus compound ligand exhibits very high catalytic activity, and at the same time high selectivity to normal- aldehyde or iso-aldehyde according to the type of a substituent in the hydroformylation reaction of an olefin compound.
Mode for Invention
[64] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the following examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[65] Synthesis Example 1: Synthesis of 2.2'-bisrN-(diphenylphosphino)methylaminol - l.l'-biphenyl (BPNP-D
[66] 1.5 g of 2,2'-bismethylamino-l,l'-bipheny was dissolved in an anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solvent. 6.5 mL of a n-butyl lithium (2.5 M) solution was added to the reactant solution with cooling with ice water and stirred for 30 minutes. Then, 15 mL of an anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solution containing 3.1 mL of chlorodiphenylphosphine was dropwise added to the reactant solution with stirring and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. A precipitate was filtered, and a solvent was removed from the remaining solution under a reduced pressure. The resultant precipitate was washed with a small quantity of purified ethanol and dried in a vacuum to give 2.66 g (yield 65%) of the titled compound. The titled compound was dissolved in chloroform-D (CDCl ) to perform the hydrogen and phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum analysis for the titled compound. The NMR analysis results were as follows: H NMR (CDCl ): δ 2.52 (s, 6H, -CH ), 6.81-7.32 (m, 28H, Ar-H). 31P NMR (CDCl ): δ 54.39 (s).

[68] The titled compound was synthesized in the same manner as in Synthesis Example
1 except that chlorodipyrrolylphosphine was used instead of chlorodiphenylphosphine. The titled compound was dissolved in chloroform-D (CDCl ) to perform the hydrogen NMR spectrum analysis for the titled compound. The NMR analysis result was as follows: 1H NMR (CDCl ): δ 2.58 (bs, 3H, -CH ), 3.04 (bs, 3H, -CH ), 6.24 (t, 2H, - py), 6.45 (t, 6H, -py), 6.82 (m, 2H, -py), 6.89 (m, 6H, -py), 7.32-7.40 (m, 8H, Ar-H).
[69] Examples 1-4: Hydroformylation reaction of propene using acetylacetonatodicar- bonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) and 2.2'-bisrN-(diphenylphosphino)methylaminol - l.l'-biphenyl (BPNP- 1)
[70] 0.100 mg (0.390 mmol) of a Rh(AcAc)(CO) catalyst, 0.2 mL of hexadecane which was an internal standard for GC analysis, and BPNP-I as bidentate ligand, according to its molar ratio relative to rhodium presented in Table 1 below were dissolved in a toluene solvent until the total volume of the reactant solution reached 100 mL, and charged into a high throughput screen (HTS) unit manufactured by the Autoclave company. A reaction gas of propene, CO, and H (1:1:1, molar ratio) was injected to the reactant solutiont to maintain a pressure at 6bar, and then the reactant solution was stirred at a temperature of 85 0C for 2.5 hours.
[71] The types of the catalyst and the ligand used, the molar ratio of the ligand to the catalyst, the N/I selectivity, and the catalytic activity are listed in Table 1 below.
[72] In Table 1, the N/I selectivity value is the production ratio of normal-butyraldehyde to iso-butyraldehyde. The production amount of each aldehyde was calculated based on the amount of hexadecane used as the internal standard for the GC analysis.
[73] The catalytic activity was obtained by dividing the total amount of normal- butyraldehyde and iso-butyraldehyde produced by the molecular weight of bu- tyraldehyde, the concentration of the used catalyst, and the reaction time. The unit of the catalytic activity was mol (BAL) /mol (Rh) /h.

[81] Comparative Example 1 : Hydroformylation reaction of propene using acetylaceto- natodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) and triphenylphosohine (TPP) [82] A catalytic activity experiment was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that TPP was used as a ligand and the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium was 100, and the results are presented in Table 4 below.
[83] Comparative Examples 2-3: Hydroformylation reaction of propene with respect to temperature using acetylacetonatodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) and triph- enylphosphine (TPP) [84] Catalytic activity experiments were performed in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the reaction temperature was 70 0C (Comparative Example 2) and 100 0C (Comparative Example 3), and the results are presented in Table 4 below.
[85] Comparative Example 4: Hvdroformylation reaction of propene using acetylaceto- natodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) and ISO-44 [86] A catalytic activity experiment was performed in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a bisphosphite ligand,

[87] Comparative Examples 5-6: Hydroformylation reaction of propene using acetylace- tonatodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAcVCO^ Wd BISBI
[88] Catalytic activity experiments were performed in the same manner as in
Comparative Example 1 except that 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)- 1,1 '-biphenyl (BISBI) was used instead of TPP, and the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium was 3 (Comparative Example 5) and 10 (Comparative Example 6), and the results are presented in Table 4 below.
[89] Comparative Example 7: Hvdroformylation reaction of propene using acetylaceto- natodicarbonylrhodium (Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) and 2.2'-bis[N-(diphenylphosphino)aminol - l.l'-biphenyl (BPNP-O)
[90] A catalytic activity experiment was performed in the same manner as in
Comparative Example 1 except that BPNP-O was used instead of TPP, and the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium was 1, and the results are presented in Table 4 below.
[91] Table 4
Figure imgf000012_0001
Figure imgf000013_0001
[92] As shown in Table 4, in Comparative Example 1, in which hydroformylation reaction of propene was performed using a monodentate phosphorous compound, TPP, catalytic activity was 85.4 mol /mol /h, and N/I selectivity was 3.9. In
(BAL) (Rh)
Comparative Examples 2-3, in which hydroformylation reaction of propene was performed using the same catalyst system as in Comparative Example 1 at a temperature of 70 0C and 100 0C , respectively, the catalytic activity {111.2 mol / mol (Rh) /h) of Com rparative Exam rple 3 was remarkably J g breater than that ( V26.4 mol (BAL) / mol /h) of Comparative Example 2. N/I selectivity was also remarkably increased with increasing reaction temperature (3.6 and 8.0). [93] Among currently available ligands, ISO-44 is known to be the most excellent for catalytic activity and N/I selectivity. It is also known that ISO-44 has been still applied in some processes under the trade name MARK-IV. In Comparative Example 4, in which hydroformylation reaction of propene was performed using a catalyst modified with ISO-44, catalytic activity was 219.3 mol /mol /h, and N/I selectivity was 9.5.
(BAL) (Rh)
[94] In Comparative Examples 5-6, in which hydroformylation reaction of propene was performed using BISBI, a very high N/I selectivity of 20 or more was observed, but catalytic activity was relatively low. In particular, as the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium increased, the catalytic activity was gradually reduced.
[95] In addition, in Comparative Example 7 using as a ligand
2,2'-bis[N-(diphenylphosphino)amino]-l,l'-biphenyl (BPNP-O), i.e., a compound in which a methyl group attached to a nitrogen of BPNP-I was substituted by hydrogen, catalytic activity was very low. Furthermore, in experiments performed in the same manner as in Comparative Example 7 except that the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium was 3 or more, no aldehydes were observed due to very low catalytic activity.
[96] In Examples 2-4, in which 2,2'-bis[N-(diphenylphosphino)methylamino] - l,l'-biphenyl (BPNP-I) according to the present invention was used as a ligand, and the molar ratio of BPNP-I to rhodium was 3 or more, the average catalytic activity was 165% higher than when Rh/TPP was used. N/I selectivity was about 23, which was 5.9 times higher selectivity to normal- aldehyde than when Rh/TPP was used. From these results, it can be seen that even the use of a small quantity of BPNP-I ensures very high catalytic activity and high N/I selectivity. Even when the molar ratio of the ligand to rhodium was increased from 3 to 10, no reduction in catalytic activity was observed. This is in contrast to the Eastman Kodak report in which catalytic activity rapidly reduced as the amount of BISBI increased under the same conditions (U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,109).
[97] In comparison between Comparative Example 4 using ISO-44 and Example 3 using
BPNP-I under the same conditions, the catalytic activity of Comparative Example 4 was about 30% higher than that of Example 3. However, the N/I selectivity of Comparative Example 4 was 9.5, whereas the N/I selectivity of Example 3 was 23.6 which was 2.5 times that of Comparative Example 4. That is, it can be seen that even though the catalytic activity of BPNP-I is slightly lower than that of ISO-44, BPNP-I exhibits very high selectivity to normal-aldehyde.
[98] In Examples 5-9, in which hydroformylation reaction of propene was performed at a 3: 1 molar ratio of BPNP- 1 to rhodium and at different temperatures from 70 to 110 0C , as the reaction temperature increased, catalytic activity almost linearly increased and N/I selectivity also slightly increased, i.e., from 23 to 31. Such an increase in catalytic activity with increasing reaction temperature was also observed in Comparative Examples 2-3. However, Rh/PBNP-1 exhibited better catalytic activity than Rh/TPP at the same temperature condition. In addition, no change in color of the reactant solution was observed at low reaction temperatures and high reaction tem¬ peratures in Examples 5-9. This shows that a BPNP-I -modified catalyst is very stable under the above conditions.
[99] Table 3 shows the catalytic activity and N/I selectivity of Examples 10-13 using as a ligand 2,2'-bis[N-(diphenylphosphino)methylamino]-l,l'-biphenyl (BPNP-2) in which phenyl groups of R and R of BPNP-I were substituted by pyrroles. In Examples 10-11, in which a molar ratio of BPNP-2 to rhodium was relatively low, catalytic activity was higher than Examples 1-7 in which BPNP-I was used. However, in Examples 12-13, as the molar ratio of BPNP-2 to rhodium increased, catalytic activity gradually reduced. This phenomenon was also observed in Comparative Examples 5-6 using BISBI. However, when BPNP-I was used, the N/I selectivity value was about 23 due to very high selectivity to normal-aldehyde. When BPNP-2 was used, the N/I selectivity value was 3.6 or less due to high selectivity to iso- aldehyde.
Industrial Applicability
[100] From the above results, it can be seen that an acetylacetonatodicarbonylrhodium
(Rh(AcAc)(CO) ) catalyst modified with a bidentate ligand,
2,2'-bis[N-(diphenylphosphino)methylamino]-l,l'-bipehnyl (BPNP-I), exhibits high catalytic activity of 65% or more and high selectivity to normal-aldehyde compared to commercially widely available Rh/TPP. Furthermore, catalytic activity and N/I se¬ lectivity are stably retained even at a high reaction temperature. In addition, a catalyst modified with 2,2'-bis[N-(dipyrrolylphosphino)methylamino]-l,l'-biphenyl (BPNP-2) in which phenyl groups of R and R of BPNP-I are substituted by pyrrole groups exhibits very high catalytic activity and high selectivity to iso-aldehyde.
