Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine. 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine is a class of nitrogen-containing compounds that simultaneously integrate a 1,3,5-triazine heterocycle, an azo conjugated structure, and multiple amino functional groups. These structural characteristics give it potential application value in functional dyes, pharmaceutical intermediates, and biomolecular recognition probes. The preparation method provided by this invention can synthesize this compound efficiently and with high purity. Background Technology

[0002] The conjugated system of the six-membered triazine ring endows it with good chemical and thermal stability. Meanwhile, the carbon atoms on the ring (such as at positions 4 and 6) exhibit high reactivity, allowing for the convenient introduction of azo groups (-N=N-). This structure endows it with potential application value in functional dyes, optoelectronic functional materials (such as organic photoconductors), pharmaceutical intermediates (nitrogen-containing heterocyclic drug precursors), and biomolecular recognition probes. Currently, the main reported methods for preparing 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine are as follows: Route: Hydrazine monohydrate (34.45 mmol) is slowly added to a solution of trichlorotriazine (68.9 mmol) and potassium carbonate (68.9 mmol) while stirring at 50 °C. A condenser was connected to the reaction system, and the reaction was carried out overnight at 50 °C in an oil bath to obtain N,N'-bis(4,6-dichloro-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)hydrazine. A solution was then prepared by dissolving 35 mL of 31.5 g / L ammonia and 11.6 g of sodium bicarbonate in 100 mL of water and stirring at room temperature. Simultaneously, 7.2 g of N,N'-bis(4,6-dichloro-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)hydrazine dissolved in 75 mL of acetone was added. The solution was initially bright yellow, becoming powdery and thickening with increasing temperature. The reactants were heated to 65 °C and allowed to stand overnight to obtain a white suspension. The suspension was filtered, and the precipitate was washed with plenty of water to remove alkali and chloride salts, followed by washing with acetone and drying under vacuum to obtain N,N'-bis-(4,6-diamino-(1,3,5)triazine-2-yl)-hydrazine. 11 g of NBS (64 mM) was dissolved in 150 mL of acetonitrile, and then 4.02 g of N,N'-bis-(4,6-diamino-(1,3,5)triazine-2-yl)-hydrazine (16 mM) was added in portions. The initially white suspension slowly transformed into an orange product under reflux for 4 h. The acetonitrile supernatant was decanted, 500 mL of water was added, the suspension was sonicated for 10 min, and then allowed to precipitate. The resulting product was dried in an oven to obtain 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine (Journal of Energetic Materials 27.2 (2009): 63-93). This route also suffers from numerous steps, long reaction times, and cumbersome operations, and the small amount of reagents used in each step makes it difficult to achieve industrial-scale production. Therefore, developing a method that is mild in reaction conditions, simple in operation, environmentally friendly, and efficient in preparing high-purity 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine has significant practical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing methods for preparing 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine, such as cumbersome reaction steps, harsh conditions, high reagent toxicity, and low yield. This invention provides a method that is mild in reaction conditions, simple in operation, environmentally friendly, and can efficiently prepare high-purity 4,4',6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: (1) Preparation of 4,4', 6,6'-tetrachloroamineazo-1,3,5-triazine: TCM raw material is mixed with sodium hydroxide under stirring and reacted to obtain 4,4', 6,6'-tetrachloroamineazo-1,3,5-triazine product; (2) Preparation of 4,4', 6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine: The product of step (1) is dissolved in sodium carbonate solution, and sodium thiosulfate solid is added. After the crystals precipitate, they are separated and dried to obtain pure 4,4', 6,6'-tetraaminoazo-1,3,5-triazine. Further, in step (1), the alkaline solvent is an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide, or a mixture thereof, with a concentration of 1 to 3 mol∙L. -1 To ensure that the TCM raw material and sodium hydroxide are fully dissolved and to maintain the alkaline environment of the reaction system. Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of TCM raw material to alkali is 1:1 to 1:5. Further, in step (1), the stirring speed is 100 to 500 r / min, and the two solutions are mixed evenly by continuous stirring. Further, in step (1), the reaction temperature is controlled at 10℃ to 40℃, preferably 20℃ to 30℃; the reaction time is 5 to 30 minutes, preferably 8 to 20 minutes. Further, in step (2), the amount of water used is preferably enough to almost dissolve the product obtained in step (1). Further, in step (2), the alkaline solvent is sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, aqueous solution or various mixtures, and its concentration is 0.5 to 3 mol∙L. -1 Further, in step (2), the reducing solvent is one or a mixture of sodium thiosulfate and sodium sulfite solutions. Its concentration is 1–5 mol·L⁻¹. -1Further, in step (2), the reaction temperature is controlled at 20℃~40℃, preferably 20℃~30℃; the reaction time is 5~40 minutes, preferably 10~30 minutes. Further, in step (2), the stirring speed is 100~400r / min, and the two solutions are mixed evenly by continuous stirring. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the prior art requires multiple steps of reaction and consumes time and materials to complete the synthesis, with a total time of several hours to tens of hours; while the present invention can be completed in only two steps, with the reaction stage requiring only 1~30 minutes. The overall process is short and simple to operate, greatly improving the preparation efficiency. The prior art requires harsh conditions such as high temperature reflux, oxygen supply or long-term standing (24 h), which consumes a lot of energy and is complicated to operate; the reaction temperature of the present invention is only 20℃~30℃, without the need for high temperature and high pressure or special gas atmosphere, and the conditions are mild and easy to control, reducing the requirements for equipment and the operational risks. Existing technologies rely on reagents with safety risks, such as hydrazine hydrate (toxic) and ammonia, which can easily cause environmental pollution and product residues. This invention uses sodium hydroxide as the reaction reagent, which has low toxicity and simple post-processing. The alkaline solvent can be recycled, reducing the discharge of waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste, and conforming to the principles of green chemistry. (See attached figures.)
