Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, this method requires large amounts of protein-derived emulsifiers, which are not industrially feasible
Furthermore, inorganic ammonium salts cannot (easily) be removed from produced IBDU
Furthermore, an increase in the reaction temperature to 100 °C can lead to evaporation of isobutyraldehyde and thus lower yields

Embodiment 1

[0054] Example 1 (inventive example): Condensation of isobutyraldehyde with urea using phenyltrimethylammonium chloride at 40°C.

[0055] As described in Table 1, the following amounts of reactants were employed in this experiment.

[0056]

[0057] The condensation reaction at 40°C was described as follows: Reactions were carried out in a 1.0 liter jacketed reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, condenser and dropping funnel. Temperature was measured using a K-type chromel-alumel thermocouple.

[0058] The reactants (isobutyraldehyde and urea) were taken in two reaction flasks. Add a measured amount of water to the urea flask and stir well to make an aqueous urea solution.

[0059] A urea solution (52 wt% in demineralized water) was added to the reactor, followed by the required amount of phenyltrimethylammonium chloride. The reaction mixture was then stirred and heated to 40°C. Liquid isobutyraldehyde was then added slowly through the dropping funne...

Embodiment II

[0061] Example II (comparative): Condensation of isobutyraldehyde with urea using sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid at 40°C.

[0062] As described in Table 2, the following amounts of reactants were employed in this experiment.

[0063]

[0064] The condensation reaction performed at 40°C is described as follows: The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in US Pat. No. 3,962,329.

[0065] The reactants (isobutyraldehyde and urea) were taken in two reaction flasks. A measured amount of water was added to the urea flask and stirred well to make an aqueous urea solution.

[0066] The urea solution was added to the reactor, followed by the required amount of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. The mixture was then stirred and heated to 40°C. Liquid isobutyraldehyde was then added slowly through the dropping funnel and no exotherm was observed and the reaction did not start. The reaction was run at the same temperature for 30 minutes, but no isobutylidene product was...

Embodiment III

[0067] Example III (comparative example): Condensation reaction of isobutyraldehyde with urea using ammonium sulfate at 40°C.

[0068] As described in Table 3, the following amounts of reactants were employed in this experiment.

[0069]

[0070] The condensation reaction carried out at 40°C is described as follows: The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in US Pat. No. 4,062,890, except that ammonium sulfate was used alone as a catalyst, and without collagen-derived protein.

[0071] The reactants (isobutyraldehyde and urea) were taken in two reaction flasks. A measured amount of water was added to the urea flask and stirred well to make an aqueous urea solution.

[0072] The urea solution was added to the reactor followed by the required amount of ammonium sulfate. The reaction mixture was then stirred and heated to 40°C. Liquid isobutyraldehyde was then added slowly through the dropping funnel and no exotherm was observed and the reaction did not start. Th...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process comprising: reacting isobutyraldehyde with an aqueous solution of urea in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to form isobutylidene biurea. Preferably, the phase transfer catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt, more preferably benzyltriethylammonium chloride. Even more preferably, the process is carried out in a one-pot process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of isobutylidene-diurea, to the isobutylidene-diurea obtainable by said process and to the use of said isobutylidene-diurea as fertilizer. Background technique [0002] Isobutylidene-diurea (IBDU) is the condensation product of urea and isobutyraldehyde. IBDU is used as a slow acting nitrogenous fertilizer and can replace urea as a source of nitrogen in the nutrition of ruminants. [0003] Methods for preparing IBDUs are known in the art. [0004] For example, many methods for the preparation of IBDU involve the reaction of urea and isobutyraldehyde in a vigorously mixed aqueous acid solution (see for example US3,322,528; US3,326,665; US3,441,539; GB949,408; GB1,099,643; or GB1,212,605). A major disadvantage of these techniques for making IBDUs, however, is the relative lack of control over the condensation reaction. That is, the reaction rate and the total time of the reaction are the ...
