Description
で表される骨格を環の構成要素として含む窒素原子含有環状化合物で構成された触媒(以下、単に環状イミノ単位を有する触媒、イミド化合物又は触媒と言う場合がある)と酸素とを連続的に供給しつつ、遷移金属助触媒の存在下、複数のアルキル基を有する芳香族化合物を、複数の温度域で加熱して酸素酸化し、芳香族ポリカルボン酸を製造する。この方法において、基質としての複数のアルキル基を有する芳香族化合物の酸化度を0%、前記芳香族化合物の全てのアルキル基がカルボキシル基に酸化された化合物の酸化度を100%としたとき、前記複数の温度域は、酸化度が30%以上になるまで反応させる温度域と、酸化度が75%以上になるまで反応させる温度域との少なくとも2つの温度域を含む。すなわち、本発明の方法では、触媒と酸素とを連続的に供給する連続式反応において、複数の温度域で反応させる。
イミド化合物は、環の構成要素として前記式(1)で表される骨格(骨格(1))を有する環状イミノ単位を有する化合物である。イミド化合物は、分子中に、少なくとも1つの骨格(1)を有していればよく、複数の骨格(1)を有していてもよい。また、環状イミノ単位は、構成要素として複数の骨格(1)で1つの環を構成していてもよい。環状イミノ単位は、骨格(1)が有する窒素原子以外に、1つ又は複数のヘテロ原子(例えば、窒素原子、硫黄原子、酸素原子など(特に窒素原子))を環の構成原子として有していてもよい。
置換基R1、R2及びR3で表されるハロゲン原子には、ヨウ素、臭素、塩素およびフッ素原子が含まれる。アルキル基には、例えば、メチル、エチル、プロピル、イソプロピル、ブチル、イソブチル、s-ブチル、t-ブチル、ヘキシル、デシル基などの直鎖状又は分岐鎖状C1-20アルキル基(特にC1-16アルキル基)が含まれる。シクロアルキル基には、シクロペンチル、シクロヘキシル基などのC3-10シクロアルキル基が含まれる。アリール基には、フェニル、ナフチル基などが含まれる。
なお、複数の環状イミノ単位を有するイミド化合物としては、例えば、下記式で表される化合物などが例示できる。
置換基R4~R20において、ハロアルキル基には、トリフルオロメチル基などのハロC1-20アルキル基が含まれる。置換基R4~R20は、通常、水素原子、アルキル基、カルボキシル基、置換オキシカルボニル基、ニトロ基、ハロゲン原子である場合が多い。
遷移金属助触媒についても、前記特許文献2,特許文献3,特許文献4などを参照できる。遷移金属助触媒としては、周期表2~15族の金属元素を有する金属化合物を用いる場合が多い。なお、本明細書では、ホウ素Bも金属元素に含まれるものとする。前記金属元素としては、周期表2族元素(Mg、Ca、Sr、Baなど)、3族元素(Sc、ランタノイド元素、アクチノイド元素など)、4族元素(Ti、Zr、Hfなど)、5族元素(Vなど)、6族元素(Cr、Mo、Wなど)、7族元素(Mnなど)、8族元素(Fe、Ru、Osなど)、9族元素(Co、Rh、Irなど)、10族元素(Ni、Pd、Ptなど)、11族元素(Cuなど)、12族元素(Znなど)、13族元素(B、Al、Inなど)、14族元素(Sn、Pbなど)、15族元素(Sb、Biなど)などが挙げられる。好ましい金属元素には、遷移金属元素(周期表3~12族元素)、特に、Mn、Co、Zr、Ce、Fe、V、Moなど(とりわけ、Mn、Co、Zr、Ce、Fe)が好ましい。金属元素の原子価は特に制限されず、例えば0~6価程度である。
本発明では、基質として複数のアルキル基を有する芳香族化合物を用いる。なお、本明細書において基質の「アルキル基」は、アルキル基のほか、当該アルキル基の酸化により生成し、最終的なカルボキシル基又はその等価体(酸無水物基など)には至らないアルキル基の「低次酸化基」をも包含する。
酸素としては、分子状酸素及び発生期の酸素のいずれでも使用できる。分子状酸素は特に制限されず、純粋な酸素を用いてもよく、窒素、ヘリウム、アルゴン、二酸化炭素などの不活性ガスで希釈した酸素や空気、希釈空気を使用してもよい。また、酸素は系内で発生させてもよい。酸素の使用量は、通常、基質1モルに対して0.5モル以上(例えば、1モル以上)、好ましくは1~10000モル、さらに好ましくは5~1000モル程度である。基質に対して過剰モルの酸素を使用する場合が多い。
反応は溶媒の非存在下で行ってもよいが、通常、溶媒の存在下で行われる。溶媒としては、例えば、ベンゼンなどの芳香族炭化水素類;ジクロロメタン、クロロホルム、1,2-ジクロロエタン、ジクロロベンゼンなどのハロゲン化炭化水素類;t-ブタノール、t-アミルアルコールなどのアルコール類;アセトニトリル、ベンゾニトリルなどのニトリル類;ギ酸、酢酸、プロピオン酸、酪酸、イソ酪酸、ヘキサン酸などの有機酸;酢酸エチルなどのエステル類;ホルムアミド、アセトアミド、ジメチルホルムアミド(DMF)、ジメチルアセトアミドなどのアミド類などが例示でき、これらの溶媒は混合して使用してもよい。これらの溶媒の中でも、有機酸などのプロトン性有機溶媒及びニトリル類など、特に反応性、経済面から酢酸が好ましい。反応溶媒の使用量は、基質(芳香族化合物)に対して1.5~100倍量、好ましくは3~50倍量、さらに好ましくは5~25倍量程度である。
なお、反応系には、必要により、酸無水物を添加してもよい。酸無水物としては、例えば、無水酢酸、無水プロピオン酸、無水酪酸、無水イソ酪酸などの脂肪族モノカルボン酸無水物;無水安息香酸などの芳香族モノカルボン酸無水物;前記触媒の項で記載の酸無水物(脂肪族多価カルボン酸無水物、脂環式多価カルボン酸無水物、芳香族多価カルボン酸無水物)などが挙げられる。これらの酸無水物のうち、脂肪族モノカルボン酸無水物、特に無水酢酸が好ましい。酸無水物の使用量は、例えば、基質(芳香族化合物)1モルに対して、0.1~100モル、好ましくは0.5~40モル、さらに好ましくは1~20モル程度であってもよい。酸無水物は基質に対して大過剰量用いることもできる。
本発明では、前記触媒と金属助触媒とで構成された触媒系の存在下、加熱して基質(芳香族化合物)を酸素酸化する方法において、酸素を連続的に供給しつつ、複数の温度域で加熱して酸素酸化する。なお、反応系では、金属助触媒の存在下、前記触媒と酸素とを連続的に供給してもよい。複数の温度域は、基質としての複数のアルキル基(メチル基など)を有する芳香族化合物の酸化度を0%、芳香族化合物の全てのアルキル基(メチル基など)がカルボキシル基に酸化された化合物の酸化度を100%としたとき、酸化度が30%以上(例えば、30~70%)になるまで反応させる温度域(低温域)と、酸化度が75%以上になるまで反応させる温度域(高温域)との少なくとも2つの温度域を含む。このような複数の温度域で反応させることにより、金属助触媒の消費及び触媒の活性低下を有効に防止でき、芳香族ポリカルボン酸を高い収率で得ることができる。これに対して、反応初期から酸化度を75%以上にすると、金属助触媒と反応系に生成したポリカルボン酸との塩が急激に生成し、触媒活性が大きく低下し、芳香族ポリカルボン酸の収率を向上させることが困難である。なお、前記低温域を反応初期とし、高温域を反応後期とすることができる。
芳香族化合物がデュレン(メチル基の数4)である場合、酸化度は、以下の計算式で算出できる。
なお、上記カルボン酸以外の酸化物(アルデヒド類、アルコール類など)が生成するため、酸化度は現実には上記計算値より高いものの、これらの成分については考慮しないものとする。
