Description

Process for producing bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound and ion-pair compound

The present invention relates to a method for producing a bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound used for the synthesis of battery electrolytes and ionic liquids and the like, and an ion-pair compound containing a bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound obtained by the production method. is there.

Many anion compounds containing elemental fluorine have been reported and are useful, but most of the synthesis methods require special equipment such as using electrolytic fluorine. The production method of the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion, which is an anion containing fluorine element, is disclosed as a method using a very expensive raw material such as fluorosulfonic acid or fluoroisocyanate, or a reaction with a low yield. In many cases, this is a method using Alternatively, a gas that is not easy to handle is used, which is not preferable in terms of cost for production by a general industrial technique.

For example, JP-A-8-511274 discloses a reaction between fluorosulfonic acid and urea, but uses a strongly acidic raw material and is very difficult to handle.

In addition, a method of synthesizing a bis (chlorosulfonyl) imide compound and converting a chlorine atom to a fluorine atom is disclosed, but high-cost chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is used as a raw material, and residual halogen is contained as an impurity. There are problems such as being.

In Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-522681, an example of fluorination under mild conditions of 80 ° C. or less is reported, but an expensive solvent such as nitromethane is substantially used, and the fluoride salt used is NaF or KF. In this case, since 8 equivalents are used, it is not industrially advantageous. In addition, it takes 30 hours or more to convert 98% of the starting material.

Martin et al. (Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 631, 55 (2005)) discloses a synthesis method using raw materials composed of urea and fluorosulfonic acid, but impurities such as fluorosulfonic acid remain. There is a problem. Moreover, although the synthesis method which consists of sulfamic acid, thionyl chloride, and fluorosulfonic acid is also disclosed, many mixtures of a fluoride and a chloride exist. Furthermore, a reaction using chlorosulfonic acid instead of fluorosulfonic acid, which is difficult to use industrially, is disclosed, but the reaction takes 24 hours or more, and a reaction bath is also used in the fluorination reaction. It is necessary to set the temperature to 120 ° C., further 170 ° C. to 180 ° C., and the purity of the product cannot be said to be sufficient due to side reactions, and it is assumed that the yield is low because many steps are involved in purification. .

Thus, in order to synthesize a bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound, it is necessary to use a high cost and low yield reaction in the conventional production method, and the obtained bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide compound The purity of was not high.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have carried out fluorine substitution on a bis (chlorosulfonyl) imide compound obtained using sulfamic acid, chlorosulfonic acid and a halogenating agent as raw materials. Thus, it was found that the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound can be obtained in sufficient yield and high purity, and the production method of the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound of the present invention has been completed.

According to the present invention, the reaction is controlled, and by using a basic catalyst together with an alkali metal fluoride salt in a halogen exchange fluorination reaction, efficient fluorination is possible, and there is almost no residual halogen atom other than fluorine. A pure bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide anion compound can be obtained with sufficient yield and cost.

The sulfamic acid used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably subjected to a drying treatment. Although it does not specifically limit as a drying process, Heat drying, reduced pressure drying, and the storage in a dry gas can be mentioned.

In vacuum drying, the pressure is preferably 10 kPa · s or less, and drying is accelerated by heating. It can also be dried by leaving it in a dry gas environment such as dry air, nitrogen, argon or helium for a long time. These drying methods may be used alone or in combination with, for example, introducing a dry gas into heat drying and vacuum drying.

These containers used for drying are not particularly limited, and those dried by a dryer may be introduced into the reaction container. Alternatively, sulfamic acid may be introduced into the reaction vessel in advance, and one or more of heating, decompression and introduction of dry gas may be appropriately performed.

The chlorosulfonic acid used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably stored in a state of blocking moisture and having a purity of 95% or more, more preferably 98% or more. The thing stored in the state in which the water | moisture content mixes brings about a purity fall, and when the purity is less than 95%, it will bring about the fall of a yield.

Although the halogenating agent used in the present invention is not particularly limited, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride and thionyl chloride are preferable from the viewpoint of easy handling, and thionyl chloride is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of easy removal of by-products.

The contents are preferably heated with boiling and reflux conditions appropriately controlled. The time required for the temperature rise is preferably 24 hours or less, and more preferably 12 hours or less. When the time required for temperature rise exceeds 24 hours, the yield decreases.

In the reaction, the solution temperature is preferably allowed to reach 100 to 150 ° C., more preferably 105 to 140 ° C., and most preferably 110 to 130 ° C. When the solution temperature is less than 100 ° C., the reaction is not completed, and the yield and purity tend to decrease. When the solution temperature exceeds 150 ° C., it is colored due to thermal decomposition of the introduced raw materials and reaction products, resulting in a decrease in purity and yield.

The reaction time is preferably maintained within 24 hours after reaching the reaction temperature, and the reaction time is more preferably within 12 hours, most preferably within 6 hours from the viewpoint of time reduction and cost reduction. preferable.

When the moisture content of the dry gas exceeds 0.1%, the yield and purity are lowered, and when the oxygen concentration exceeds 1%, coloring occurs and the purity is lowered. The amount of the dry gas introduced is preferably 0.005 to 10 liters / minute with respect to 1 mol of sulfamic acid.

It is preferable that hydrochloric acid and sulfur dioxide as by-products by the reaction are removed by gas, and removal from the reaction vessel by the introduced dry gas stream is preferable from the viewpoint of yield and purity.
