Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for producing 2-propionylalkanonitriles of the formula (I)
- R is C4-Ci6-alkyl, in particular C6-Cio-alkyl, especially n-octyl.
- the present invention relates in particular to the production of 2-propionyldecanonitrile, i.e. to a compound of formula (I), wherein R is n-octyl.
- ⁇ -Ketonitriles in particular 2-propionylalkanonitriles of the above formula (I), are interesting starting materials for the preparation of heterocyclic active compounds, in partic- ular for the preparation of fungicidally active 7-aminoazolopyrimidines (see, for example, EP-A-1 41 31 7, WO2006/087325).
- ⁇ -Ketonitriles are usually prepared by condensation of nitriles having hydrogen atoms in the a-position to the nitrile group with carboxylic esters in the presence of a base, as shown in scheme 1 below.
- the variables R a and R b are hydrocarbon radicals, which may bear an ether group and R' is an inert radical which is attached via a carbon atom and generally has 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- EP 141 31 7 describes the preparation of ⁇ -acylated alkanonitriles by reacting alkanonitriles with carboxylic esters and strong bases, for example alkali metal hydrides, alkali metal amides and metal alkyls.
- bases for example alkali metal hydrides, alkali metal amides and metal alkyls.
- bases are relatively ex- pensive and difficult to handle, making it difficult to transfer this reaction to an industrial scale.
- WO2008/107397 describes the preparation of ⁇ -ketonitriles by reacting a carboxylic acid ester with an alkanonitrile in the presence of a potassium alkoxide, wherein at least 80% of the nitrile of the formula II are added to the reaction under reaction conditions. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of additional alkanol.
- Example 4 of WO2008/107397 describes the preparation of 2-propionlydecanonitrile by reacting decanonitrile and ethyl propionate in the presence of potassium methoxide resulting in high yields of the 2-propionyldecanonitrile.
- potassium methoxide is used in large amounts, which leads to problems during workup and to large amounts of waste water.
- the process is to permit avoidance of difficult to handle bases such as alka- limetal hydrides and to afford the desired products of the formula (I) in high yield and with good purities. Moreover, the process should allow for the reduction of waste-water.
- R' is Ci-C4-alkyl, in particular methyl or ethyl, results in high yields of 85 % or higher of the title compounds of formula (I), if the reaction is preformed with 1.0 to 2.0 mol, in particular 1 .1 to 1.8 mol, especially from 1 .2 to 1.6 mol of potassium methoxide, based on 1 mol of the alkanonitrile of formula (II) provided that at least a portion of the low-boiling compounds which are contained in the reaction mixture is distilled off during or after the reaction of the alkanonitrile of the formula (II) and the Ci-C4-alkyl propionate of the formula (III).
- the present invention therefore relates to a process for producing 2-propionyl- alkanonitriles of the formula (I) as defined herein, which comprises reacting an alkanonitrile of formula (II) as defined herein with an Ci-C4-alkyl propionate of the formula (III) as defined herein, which process is characterized in that the reaction is carried out in a reaction vessel in the presence of 1.0 to 2.0 mol, in particular 1 .1 to 1 .8 mol, especially from 1 .2 to 1.6 mol of potassium methoxide, based on 1 mol of the alkanonitrile of formula (II) and at least a portion of the low-boiling compounds which are contained in the reaction mixture is distilled off during or after the reaction of the alkanonitrile of the formula (II) and the Ci-C4-alkyl propionate of the formula (III).
- the yields of the desired 2- propionylalkanonitriles of the formula (I) are rather high and normally exceed 88 %, based on the amount of alkanonitrile of formula (II) used as a starting material. This is rather surprising as the base is consumed during the reaction. Because the hydrogen atom in the a-position of the formed 2-propionylalkanonitriles of the formula (I) is rather acidic, it is quantitatively deprotonated by the potassium methoxide and therefore, it is deemed that the base is necessary to drive the reaction to the product side.
- Ci-C4-Alkyl which refers to a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon radical hav- ing 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, 1 -methylethyl, butyl, 1 - methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl and 1 ,1 -dimethylethyl.

Then, the (lower) aqueous phase was removed. This gave 207.9 g of a light- yellow solution having a content of product of value of 30.18 % a/a (GC), which can be reacted further as such. The yield of 2-propionyldecanonitrile, based on decanonitrile starting material, was 75.2 %.

Le procédé consiste à faire réagir un alcanonitrile de formule (II) avec un propionate d'alkyle en C1 à C4 de formule (III) dans laquelle R' représente un alkyle en C1 à C4, en particulier un méthyle ou un éthyle, ledit procédé étant caractérisé en ce que la réaction est mise en œuvre dans une cuve de réaction en présence de 1,0 à 2,0 moles, en particulier de 1,1 à 1,8 mole, plus particulièrement de 1,2 à 1,6 mole de méthoxyde de potassium, par rapport à la 1 mole d'alcanonitrile de formule (II), au moins une partie des composés à bas point d'ébullition contenus dans le mélange réactionnel étant éliminée par distillation pendant ou après la réaction de l'alcanonitrile de formule (II) et du propionate d'alkyle en C1 à C4 de formule (III).
