Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic chemistry, particularly the field of organic pigment synthesis, and specifically to a method for synthesizing high-performance organic pigments using a high-concentration system. Background Technology

[0002] High-performance organic pigments possess advantages such as vibrant colors, high tinting strength, excellent durability, good dispersibility, acid and alkali resistance, solvent resistance, and heat resistance. They are widely used in coloring inks, paints, coatings, plastics, and synthetic fibers, as well as in optoelectronic materials such as organic solar cells, organic field-effect transistors, and organic light-emitting diodes.

[0003] In the field of high-performance organic pigment synthesis, the industry commonly uses large amounts of solvents for pigment synthesis (depending on the type of pigment, this can be 4 times, 8 times, or even higher). With the continuous rise in global energy prices, the manufacturing process of traditional high-performance organic pigments is becoming increasingly expensive and profitable due to its large solvent consumption, high energy consumption, and recycling costs.

[0004] Due to the aforementioned cost considerations, high-performance organic pigments such as azo series, macromolecular series pigments, and pyrrolopyrrole dione series are difficult to replace some pigment varieties that fail to achieve intrinsic safety for users, or for which downstream manufacturers require significant costs to achieve green production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve and develop a green and economical method for producing high-performance organic pigments. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The preparation of the IPN includes reacting sodium nitrite, an alcohol solvent, and an acid to prepare IPN, wherein the molar ratio of sodium nitrite, isopropanol, and hydrochloric acid is 1:1-2:0.7-1.5.

Preferably, the color base and the coupling component are pulped in a solvent, such as isopropanol, isoamyl alcohol, isobutyl ester, and acetic acid, preferably isopropanol, acetic acid, or a mixed solution of isopropanol and acetic acid.

[0012] After pulping, IPN is added dropwise at -5 to 50°C, preferably at 20 to 40°C. After the addition is complete, the temperature is maintained for 10 to 60 minutes. After the temperature maintenance is complete, sodium methoxide is added to adjust the pH to weakly alkaline, and then the temperature is raised to 30 to 80°C, preferably at 40 to 70°C, and maintained for 30 to 120 minutes. After the reaction is complete, the azo pigment reaction system is obtained.

[0013] In step three, the post-processing includes pigmentation. Preferably, the synthesized azo pigment reaction system is kept at 90-150℃ for 2-12 hours to remove solvent and salt, and then dried to obtain the azo pigment.

The mixture was maintained for 0.5 hours, and then turquoise oil (an auxiliary agent) was added, followed by stirring for another 0.5 hours. The solution was filtered, and the mother liquor was collected to obtain a diazo solution.

[0101] On the other hand, 6.59 g (0.0236 mol) of diacetyl-p-phenylenediamine and 1.95 g (0.0483 mol) of sodium hydroxide were added to 80 mL of water, stirred until completely dissolved, and filtered to obtain a diacetyl-p-phenylenediamine solution. 6 g of acetic acid was added to 15 g of water and stirred until homogeneous. 2 g of wetting and dispersing agent Tego® Disper 755w and 4 g of silica were added to the diacetyl-p-phenylenediamine solution, stirred for 10 minutes, and then the prepared acetic acid solution was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour to obtain a suspension slurry of diacetyl-p-phenylenediamine.

[0102] Add an appropriate amount of sodium acetate to the diazonium solution to adjust the pH to 3-4. Then, at 35℃-40℃, add the prepared diacetyl-p-phenylenediamine slurry dropwise to the diazonium salt solution. After the addition is complete, use acetic acid to check whether the diazonium salt is in excess. If it is in excess, add the coupling component slurry until the diazonium salt reaction is complete, resulting in a yellow pigment suspension.

[0103] The pigment suspension was heat-treated at reflux temperature for 25-30 hours. After heat treatment, the pigment content in the system was 12%. The mixture was filtered, washed with water until neutral, and the filter cake was dried and pulverized to obtain 22.6 grams of yellow pigment. Its XRD pattern is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, its TEM image is as follows Figure 5 As shown.

[0104] Example 3 3.16 g of sodium nitrite was dissolved in 64 g of water, then mixed with 35.08 g of isopropanol. At -5 to 0 °C, 49.96 g of 36.5% hydrochloric acid solution was added dropwise. After the addition was complete, the mixture was allowed to stand. The upper layer was a light yellow liquid, which was the product, isopropyl nitrite, and the lower layer was an aqueous phase. 40 g of isopropyl nitrite was obtained.

[0105] 54.65 g of 2,2'-dichloroazobenzene and 84.26 g of p-methylacetylacetanilide were mixed thoroughly in 500 g of isopropanol and 32 g of acetic acid. 40 g of isopropyl nitrite was added dropwise over 60 minutes at 35°C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was kept at this temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 59.5 g of sodium methoxide was added, and the mixture was kept at 70°C for 60 minutes. The reaction was then complete.

[0106] The reaction system was pressurized and heated to 100℃, and held at this temperature for 2 hours to obtain a yellow paste containing 26.68% pigment. After washing and drying the paste, 139.4 g of Pigment Yellow 55 was obtained, and its XRD pattern is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the yield was calculated based on the starting material 2,2'-dichloroazobenzene, and the yield was 98.17%.

[0107] The comparison shows that the pigment content in the system after the reaction in Comparative Example 1 was 12%; while the pigment content in the systems after the reaction in Examples 1, 2, and 3 was >25%. It is estimated that the amount of solvent used to produce the same amount of pigment can be reduced by about 60%, and the energy used for solvent recovery and solvent loss during the recovery process can be reduced by about 60%, which can significantly reduce production costs and reduce the cost of waste disposal.

[0108] Comparative Example 2 The traditional method for synthesizing Pigment Yellow 55 is as follows: 50.6 g of 2,2'-dichloroazobenzene was added to 190 g (30%) hydrochloric acid at 0-5°C for 4 h, stirred overnight at room temperature, and then reacted at 50°C for 5 h until complete rearrangement to 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0-5°C with 3000 g of ice and then diazotized with 26.2 g of sodium nitrite. Separately, 70.1 g of p-methylacetylacetanilide was dissolved in 700 g of water and 25 g of sodium hydroxide solution, precipitated with 40 g of acetic acid, and the pH was adjusted to 5-6. The mixture was cooled to 0-5°C and added to the diazotized solution, maintaining the coupling pH at 4-5. After coupling, the mixture was heated to boiling for 1.5 h, at which point the pigment content was approximately 3%. The mixture was filtered, washed with water, and dried at 70°C to obtain 115.6 g of Pigment Yellow 55. Its XRD pattern is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the yield was calculated based on the feedstock 2,2'-dichloroazobenzene, and the yield was 86%.

[0116] Viscosity comparison method: The viscosity of the samples was measured using a rotational viscometer (BROOKFIELD Viscometer, USA) and compared.

[0117] Method for comparing gloss: The gloss of the uncolored lacquer flakes was measured and compared using a triangular digital gloss meter (Weida Measurement Instrument Factory, Quanzhou, Fujian, China).

Furthermore, a greater advantage of this invention is that the process described in the embodiments is more green and economical, with higher production efficiency and energy conservation and emission reduction, as shown in Table 3 below: Table 3:

[0123] Table 3 shows that, compared with the traditional process, the high-concentration strong mixing synthesis scheme of the present invention significantly reduces the amount of solvent, and the corresponding energy consumption and emissions are reduced.

Add 4.9 g (approximately 0.055 mol) of isopropyl nitrite dropwise over 1 hour at room temperature. After the addition is complete, keep warm for 2 hours.

[0125] The temperature was then raised to 80°C, and 6.55 g (approximately 0.055 mol) of thionyl chloride was added dropwise over 30 minutes. After the addition was complete, the temperature was maintained at 110°C for 3 hours. After the maintenance was complete, the residual thionyl chloride was distilled off. After distillation, the temperature was raised to 80°C, and 2.67 g (approximately 0.025 mol) of solid 1,4-p-phenylenediamine was added. The temperature was raised to 135°C and maintained for 6 hours. After the maintenance was complete, the mixture was evaporated to dryness, yielding a total of 19.65 g of Pigment Red 166, with a yield of 99%. Its infrared spectrum is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, for reference, the infrared spectrum of Pigment Red 166 standard is as follows. Figure 9 As shown.

[0126] The performance of Pigment Red 166 product prepared in Example 4 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 4 below: Table 4:

[0127] Example 5 Add 9.4 g (approximately 0.05 mol) of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and 9.78 g (approximately 0.05 mol) of 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline to 19.5 g of xylene. Add 4.9 g (approximately 0.055 mol) of isopropyl nitrite dropwise over 1 hour at room temperature. After the addition is complete, keep warm for 2 hours.

[0128] The temperature was then raised to 80°C, and 6.55 g (approximately 0.055 mol) of thionyl chloride was added dropwise over 30 minutes. After the addition was complete, the temperature was maintained at 110°C for 3 hours. After the maintenance was complete, the residual thionyl chloride was distilled off. After distillation, the temperature was raised to 80°C, and 4.43 g (approximately 0.025 mol) of solid 2,5-dichloro-1,4-p-phenylenediamine was added. The temperature was raised to 135°C and maintained for 6 hours. After the maintenance was complete, the mixture was evaporated to dryness, yielding a total of 23.03 g of Pigment Red 242, with a yield of 99%.

[0129] Example 6 31 g (approximately 1.35 mol) of metallic sodium was melted and 150 g (approximately 1.70 mol) of tert-amyl alcohol preheated to 90 °C was introduced into a microchannel reactor preheated to 120 °C. The residence time was controlled at 0-0.2 MPa for 2 h. A tert-amyl alcohol solution of sodium tert-amyl alcohol was introduced into a reactor; 90 g of p-chlorobenzonitrile and 78 g of diisopropyl succinate were added, and the reaction was carried out at 120 °C. During the reaction, solvents with boiling points below 90 °C were continuously collected. After the reaction was completed, the remaining solvent was evaporated to obtain sodium salt powder of the product, and the solvent components with boiling points below and above 90 °C were recovered separately.

[0130] The sodium salt of the product was hydrolyzed by reacting with 800 g of water in a reactor at 45 °C for 1 hour. After separation, the product was dried to obtain bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dione pyrrolopyrrole. Its infrared spectrum was basically consistent with that of the purchased BASF standard bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dione pyrrolopyrrole, with a mass of 107.8 g and a yield of 90.3% (based on the complete reaction of p-chlorobenzonitrile). The transmission electron microscopy image of the obtained product is shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of the purchased BASF bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dione pyrrolopyrrole standard is as follows. Figure 11 As shown. From Figure 10 and 11 It can be seen that the overall difference between the prepared sample particles and the standard is small.

[0131] The 41g of solvent with a boiling point below 90°C that was recovered was directly subjected to concentrated sulfuric acid catalytic esterification at a temperature of 70-80°C to synthesize 68g of diisopropyl succinate, which was then used as a raw material (see Example 9 below).

[0132] Comparative Example 3 (referring to the method disclosed in CN108250789A) Under nitrogen protection, 11.3 parts of metallic sodium were added to 120 parts of anhydrous tert-amyl alcohol, followed by 0.02 parts of anhydrous ferric chloride.

After the addition was complete, the mixture was refluxed for 0.5 hours, and then reacted for another 1.5 hours with a reflux ratio of 6-7, maintaining the column top temperature below 90°C. Isopropanol was removed continuously, and the mixture was cooled to 65°C. 200 parts of methanol were added to the reaction flask, followed by the slow addition of 34 parts of glacial acetic acid. The mixture was refluxed for 0 hours. After 0.5 hours of complete protonation, the mixture was filtered, washed with methanol until the filtrate was colorless, rinsed with distilled water, dried at 80°C for 10 hours, and pulverized to obtain 44.5 parts of pigment product, with a yield of 86%.

The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the obtained product is shown below. Figure 12 As shown, and with Figure 10 and 11 The comparison shows that the overall difference between the prepared sample particles and the standard is small. There may be slight differences in particle size, crystallinity, etc. between batches. These differences will cause fluctuations in parameters such as strength in the test data.

A tert-amyl alcohol solution of sodium tert-amyl alcohol was obtained and introduced into the reactor. 78 g of p-chlorobenzonitrile and 68 g of diisopropyl succinate were added, and the reaction was carried out at 120 °C. Solvents with boiling points below 90 °C were continuously sampled during the reaction. After the reaction was completed, the remaining solvent was evaporated to obtain the sodium salt powder of the product.

[0140] The sodium salt of the product was hydrolyzed by reacting it with 700 g of water in a reactor at 45°C for 1 hour. After separation, the product was dried to obtain bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dione pyrrolopyrrole, with a mass of 93.4 g and a yield of 89.7%.
