Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental protection and comprehensive resource utilization technology, and relates to a method for preparing dipropylenetriamine by distilling high-boiling oil of aminopropionitrile produced in the chemical production process of VB1 using acrylonitrile as the starting material. Background Technology

[0002] Vitamin B1, chemically named 3-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-methyl]-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolyl hydrochloride, also known as vitamin B1, thiamine, anti-neuritis factor, and anti-beriberi factor, is a water-soluble white crystalline or crystalline powder found naturally in foods such as rice bran, wheat bran, lean meat, and nuts. As a feed additive, vitamin B1 plays an important role in maintaining normal nerve conduction and the normal functioning of the heart and digestive system in livestock and poultry. As a medicine, vitamin B1 maintains normal glucose metabolism and nerve conduction, and inhibits cholinesterase activity, making it useful as an adjunct treatment for indigestion, neuritis, and beriberi.

[0003] The large-scale industrial production of VB1 mainly relies on chemical methods, involving both convergent and linear routes, with the linear route being the primary method for industrial VB1 production. In the linear route for VB1 production, 2-methyl-4-amino-5-(aminomethyl)pyrimidine is the core intermediate. Depending on the starting materials used, the preparation of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-(aminomethyl)pyrimidine can be achieved via acrylonitrile, malononitrile, or cyanoacetamide routes, with the acrylonitrile route being the most widely used in industrial production. In the acrylonitrile route for preparing 2-methyl-4-amino-5-(aminomethyl)pyrimidine, the initial step involves the reaction of acrylonitrile with ammonia to produce a material containing 3-aminopropionitrile (abbreviated as aminopropionitrile). This material is then distilled to obtain high-purity aminopropionitrile with a relatively low boiling point. The high-boiling-point residue produced during this distillation process is the aminopropionitrile distillate high-boiling oil. In the existing process for producing VB1 based on acrylonitrile as the starting material, the resulting high-boiling oil from aminopropionitrile distillation is classified as hazardous waste and mainly relies on high-temperature incineration to achieve its harmlessness. Although this treatment method can reduce the environmental harm caused by the direct emission of high-boiling oil from aminopropionitrile distillation, it does not achieve the full and effective utilization of resources.

[0004] Dipropylenetriamine, also known as bis(3-aminopropyl)amine, 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine, or dipropylenetriamine, is an organic polyamine. It can be used directly as a curing agent for epoxy resins, or as a basic raw material in the preparation of other types of epoxy resin curing agents. Furthermore, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, adsorption and separation materials, corrosion inhibitors, antistatic agents, fiber softeners, functional polymers, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

[0005] As an organic nitrogen-containing compound possessing both primary and secondary amine structures, diallyltriamine is mainly prepared through two methods: the N-aminopropylation method based on 1,3-propanediamine and the reduction method based on bis(2-cyanoethyl)amine (abbreviated as dicyanethylamine). Additionally, diallyltriamine can also be partially obtained by reducing 3,3′,3′-nitrotripropamide, the addition product of ammonia and acrylamide, with LiAlH4, and by reacting 1,3-propanediol with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst. Among these methods for preparing diallyltriamine, the reduction method based on dicyanethylamine is more widely used in actual production.

[0006] This invention relates to a method for preparing dipropylenetriamine using high-boiling oil from the distillation of aminopropionitrile produced in the VB1 production process. This method belongs to a technical approach for preparing fine organic chemicals from pharmaceutical industrial waste. During the research and development of this technology, numerous technical documents related to the preparation and application of VB1, dicyandiethylamine, and dipropylenetriamine were consulted. Among these, the following documents are of significant reference value: "Synthesis of 2-Methyl-4-amino-5-carboxamide methylpyrimidine" (Applied Chemical Industry, 2005, Vol. 34, No. 3), "An Eight-Step Continuous-Flow Total Synthesis of Vitamin B1" (Engineering, 2024, Vol. 32), "Research Progress in Vitamin B1 Synthesis" (Zhejiang Chemical Industry, 2015, Vol. 46, No. 6), and "Method for producing bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amine (dipropylenetriamine, DPTA)" (US 20080132725).

Summary of the Invention

The main technical problems solved are threefold: first, to achieve the scientific disposal and high-value utilization of the aminopropionitrile distillation high-boiling oil generated in existing chemical processes for producing VB1 using acrylonitrile as a raw material; second, to reduce the dependence on 1,3-propanediamine or acrylonitrile in existing large-scale industrial production of diallyltriamine; and third, to reduce the raw material costs for producing diallyltriamine.
