Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a method for producing a malonate diester, and belongs to the field of chemical catalytic conversion. Background Art
[0002] Dimethyl malonate (DMM) is a general-purpose organic reagent and a key raw material for the production of the pharmaceutical pipemidic acid. Overseas, DMM is primarily used as a raw material for the non-ethoxymethylene process to produce pipemidic acid, reacting with orthoformate and urea to produce pipemidic acid. Currently, the majority of DMM produced by Chinese companies, in addition to export, is used to produce pipemidic acid.
[0003] Traditionally, dimethyl malonate is produced using the cyanide esterification method. Chloroacetic acid is neutralized with sodium carbonate to produce sodium chloroacetate, which is then cyanated with sodium cyanide to produce sodium cyanoacetate. Sodium cyanoacetate is hydrolyzed to sodium malonate, which is then esterified with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid to produce dimethyl malonate. The finished product is then washed and distilled. The industrial product contains ≥98% ester. Raw material consumption requirements include: 1120 kg / t chloroacetic acid, 551 kg / t sodium cyanide, and 955 kg / t methanol. Currently, this technology suffers from issues such as the use of highly toxic sodium cyanide, a complex process, low yield, and difficulty in product and wastewater disposal.
[0004] New processes developed abroad primarily rely on catalytic carbonylation, using chloroacetate, carbon monoxide, and methanol as raw materials in the presence of a catalyst to synthesize dimethyl malonate in a single step. While this process is technologically advanced, it also presents challenges, such as low catalytic activity, high energy consumption, and a complex process. For example, the carbonylation outlet requires three-phase separation of solid, gas, and liquid, with CO gas phase recirculation, followed by distillation of the liquid product to separate the alcohol and malonate diester. Alkali metal salts also require washing, making industrialization difficult. Furthermore, the catalyst mother liquor in the liquid phase must be recycled. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above-mentioned catalytic carbonylation method, the present invention innovates in the catalyst, reaction solvent, and reaction system. It proposes the use of high-efficiency single-atom Pd, Co, and Ni catalysts, focusing on the local chemical environment of the active site, and selecting a specific solvent to significantly improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst; in addition, a fixed-bed tubular reactor is selected.
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a one-step, highly active and highly selective carbonylation method for preparing malonate diesters using a homogeneous or heterogeneous single-active-site Pd / Co / Ni-based catalyst in the presence of methyl chloroacetate, ethyl chloroacetate, or dichloromethane, CO, alcohols, a base, a phosphine ligand, and a solvent. The method has promising industrial applications and addresses the low activity and instability of existing Pd-based catalytic systems, which are prone to aggregation and instability; and the issues of Co-based catalytic systems, which are prone to decomposition in the presence of air and water and unstable when heated, resulting in catalyst metal loss. The Ni-based catalytic system is a novel discovery, characterized by its heat, water, and air resistance, and its stability during the reaction and subsequent flash evaporation process. Furthermore, the system employs a quaternary phosphonium salt catalytic system, which addresses the difficulty in separating catalysts in homogeneous systems.

[0073] In a reactor, raw materials containing methyl chloroacetate, CO, alcohols, Na salts, solvents, and stabilizers react in a reaction system containing a catalyst to obtain a malonate diester.
[0074] A homogeneous catalyst and a high-boiling-point solvent are used. After the reaction, the carbonylation reaction product undergoes phase separation to produce a gas phase, a liquid phase, and a solid phase. The gas phase is returned to a buffer tank by a compressor for secondary reuse, while the liquid and solid phases are separated by a cyclone. The separated solid phase is washed with alcohol in a washing tank, and the washing liquid is returned to the reactor. The washed solid NaCl is electrolyzed with water to produce NaOH, Cl2, and H2. The liquid phase undergoes first-stage distillation, second-stage distillation, and third-stage distillation. The first-stage distillation overhead product I, which includes methyl acetate, methanol, methyl chloroacetate, and dimethyl malonate, undergoes second-stage distillation. The second-stage distillation overhead components, methanol, methyl acetate, and methyl chloroacetate, undergo third-stage distillation, and the remaining methanol and methyl chloroacetate after removing methyl acetate are returned to the reactor. The second-stage distillation bottom product II is the dimethyl malonate product, which is then refined. After the first-stage bottom distillation, the products in the distillation bottom are the high-boiling-point solvent and catalyst, which are returned to the reactor.

[0076] In a reactor, raw materials containing methyl chloroacetate, CO, alcohols, Na salts, solvents, and stabilizers react in a reaction system containing a catalyst to obtain a malonate diester.
[0077] A homogeneous catalyst and a low-boiling-point solvent are used. After the reaction is completed, the carbonylation reaction product undergoes phase separation to produce a gas phase, a liquid phase, and a solid phase. The gas phase is returned to a buffer tank by a compressor for secondary use, while the liquid and solid phases are separated by a cyclone. The separated solid phase is washed with alcohol in a washing tank, and the washing liquid is returned to the reactor. The washed solid NaCl is electrolyzed into NaOH, Cl2, and H2 by adding water. The liquid phase undergoes first-stage distillation, second-stage distillation, and third-stage distillation. The first-stage distillation overhead products, methanol, methyl ester, methyl chloroacetate, and solvent, are distilled to the second stage. The second-stage distillation overhead components, including methanol, methyl acetate, and a small amount of light components, as well as a small amount of unreacted methyl chloroacetate, are distilled to the third stage. After removing methyl acetate, the methanol and chloroacetic acid are returned to the reactor. The bottom product of the second-stage distillation, including the solvent, is returned to the reactor. After the solvent is distilled off in the first stage distillation, the solid catalyst precipitates and is returned to the reactor. The liquid after the first stage distillation is the product, diester malonate, which can be phase-separated. The liquid product malonate diester enters the refining tower for refining.
