Description

Process for the production of cyanic acid C,C'-[2-(6-ox\do-6H-(i\benz[c,e]^,2]oxa- phosphorin-6-yl)-1 ,4-phenylene] ester
The present invention relates to a process for the production of cyanic acid C C-[2-(6-oxido-6/τklibenz[c,e][1 ,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1 ,4-phenylene] ester of formula
Figure imgf000002_0001
wherein R is -C≡N.
The above ester of cyanic acid is a flameproofing agent, in particular for epoxy resins (JP 2008-088079 A). It has been prepared by reacting the corresponding hydro- quinone compound 2-(6-oxido-6Λk.ibenz[c,e][1 ,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1 ,4-benzenediol (I, R = H), which is commercially available from Sanko Co., Ltd., Japan, with cyanogen bromide and triethylamine in acetone at 0-5 0C (JP 2008-088079 A). The work-up described in JP 2008-088079 A requires the use of dichloromethane and several aqueous washing steps and it has been found that the product obtained contains significant amounts of residual halogenide and diethylcyanamide as a byproduct. The halogenide content is particularly disadvantageous in applications such as molding compounds for electronic components.
It was an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for the production of cyanic acid CC-[2-(6<>xido-6/τklibenz[c,e][1 ,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)- 1 ,4-phenylene] ester that does without halogenated solvents and aqueous washing steps and affords a pure product containing only negligible traces of halogenide.
This object has been achieved by the process of claim 1.
It has been found that pure cyanic acid C, C-[2-(6-oxido-6/y-dibenz[c, e][1 ,2]oxaphos- phorin-6-yl)-1 ,4-phenylene] ester of formula
Figure imgf000003_0001
wherein R is -C≡N, can be prepared in a process comprising the steps of
(i) preparing a suspension of 2-(6-oxido-6/τkϋbenz[c,6?][1 ,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)- 1 ,4-benzenediol (I, R = H) in a solvent selected from the group consisting of acetone, butanone, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, diethyl ether, diethyl carbonate, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and any mixture of any of the foregoing,
(ii) adding at least two mol, based on one mol of benzenediol (I, R = H)1 of cyanogen chloride at a temperature below 0 CC to the suspension obtained in step (i), (iii) slowly adding at least two mol, based on one mol of benzenediol (I1 R = H), of triethylamine at a temperature below 0 0C, (iv) separating off the solid triethylammonium chloride formed during step (iii),
(v) evaporating the solvent until a concentrated solution containing at least 40 wt.% of the desired product (I, R = -C≡N) is obtained, (vi) cooling the concentrated solution obtained in step (v) to induce crystallization of the product, and (vii) separating off and drying the crystallized product.
In a preferred embodiment the solvent used throughout the process is selected from the group consisting of acetone, butanone and tetrahydrofuran.
Most preferably the solvent is acetone.
The concentration of the benzenediol starting material (I, R = H) in the suspension of step (i) is not critical, it may be for example in the range of 10-15 wt.%.
The cyanogen chloride in step (ii) is advantageously used in a slight excess, preferably in an amount of 2.0 to 2.5 mol per mol of benzenediol starting material (I1 R = H). More preferably, cyanogen chloride is used in an amount of 2.1 to 2.3 mol per mol of benzenediol. Likewise, the triethylamine in step (iii) is used in a slight excess, preferably in an amount of 2.0 to 2.2 mol per mol of benzenediol starting material (I, R = H). More preferably, triethylamine is used in an amount of 2.05 to 2.15 mol per mol of benzenediol.
The temperature of the reaction mixture in steps (ii) and (iii) is preferably between -5 0C and -12 0C.
Since in particular step (iii) of the process of the invention is exothermic, the temperature of the reaction mixture should be controlled by appropriate cooling and the rate of addition of triethylamine has to be limited and the reaction mixture agitated in order to avoid temperature excursions which may lead to unwanted side reactions.
The triethylammonium chloride precipitate may be separated of by any method known in the art, in particular by filtration or centhfugation. In order to avoid product loss by inclusion or adsorption the triethylammonium chloride is advantageously washed with cold fresh solvent after filtration or centrifugation.
Since the triethylammonium chloride is obtained in solid form, the triethylamine required in step (iii) can be easily recovered and recycled, e.g. by adding a strong base such as sodium hydroxide and distilling off the triethylamine from the chloride of the strong base (e.g., sodium chloride) formed. This will also substantially reduce the amount of waste produced in the process of the invention.
The product solution obtained after separating off the triethylammonium chloride is concentrated by evaporating an amount of solvent that is sufficient to achieve a product concentration of at least 40 wt.% in the remaining solution. The evaporation may be carried out at ambient or reduced pressure. When acetone is used as solvent the final product concentration can be as high as 45-50 wt.% or more.
The crystallization of the product is advantageously induced by the addition of seed crystals of the desired product and carried out at a temperature of 0-15 0C, for example about 10 0C.
In the final step (vi) the crystallized product is separated from the mother liquor, which again can be achieved by any method known in the art, such as filtration or centrifugation, and eventually dried. The purity of the product may be further improved by washing with cold fresh solvent. The process of the invention requires only one non-halogenated solvent and avoids any contact of the product or starting materials with water. This reduces the amount of waste generated and allows recycling of the solvent and recovery of the triethylamine from the triethylammonium chloride byproduct. The product is obtained as a white crystalline solid with extremely low halogenide content.
Example 1
2-(6-Oxido-6/τklibenz[c, e][1 ,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)-1 ,4-benzenediol (800 g, 2.46 mol) was suspended in dry acetone (6000 g) at -6 0C. Gaseous cyanogen chloride (346.6 g, 5.52 mol) was added to this suspension at -9 0C. At this temperature triethylamine (527 g, 5.18 mol) was added over a period of 2 h under vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 45 min at -9 0C before the suspension formed was allowed to warm to -6 0C. The precipitated triethylammonium chloride was filtered off and the filter cake was washed with acetone. The combined filtrates were concentrated by evaporation of the solvent until a 45-50 wt.% solution of the title compound in acetone was obtained. The solution was transferred into a crystallization flask and cooled to 10 0C. Upon addition of some seed crystals the product began to crystallize. The crystals were separated by filtration and washed with cold acetone. Yield: 690 g, (1.84 mol, 75%) of a white crystalline solid.
