Embodiment 1

[0048] 10.5 liters of catalyst were added to the reaction tube. The acrolein concentration in the aqueous solution was 17.5% (-500 ppm hydroquinone) and 100 ppm propionic acid was added. The solution was pumped through a catalyst bed (Lewatit TP 208, Form H) at a rate of 6.5 liters / hour. The average temperature of the reactor is 69°C, and the pH before the reactor is 4.1. After an experiment duration of about 10 hours, the reactor pressure difference reached 0.4 bar. The conversion was 54.4%, and the selectivity to 3-hydroxypropanal was 81.9%. After a further interval of 316 hours, a differential pressure of 0.4 bar was determined, a conversion of 53.9% and a selectivity to 3-hydroxypropanal of 81.4%. in H 2 In the O distillate, the content of propionic acid added is 80%. The purity of the 1,3-propanediol distillate was 99.8% by gas chromatographic area.

[0049] When comparative example 1 is compared with embodiment 1, it is obvious that adding propionic acid prevents t...

Abstract

3-Hydroxypropanal is prepared by reacting acrolein with water under pressure and in the presence of an ion exchange resin while adding a carboxylic acid to the reaction mixture.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing 3-hydroxypropanal. technical background [0002] 3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde is an intermediate product in the preparation of 1,3-propanediol. 1,3-Propanediol can be further processed into polyesters, such as polytrimethylene terephthalate, which are used for fiber spinning, or can be processed into other commercial articles such as polyols. [0003] It is known that 3-hydroxypropanal can be prepared by hydrating acrolein with water at 30-120° C. under a pressure of 1-20 bar in the presence of a chelate-forming ion exchanger, such as U.S. Described in Patent No. 5,171,898, incorporated herein by reference. [0004] U.S. Patent No. 5,284,979 discloses the homogeneous hydration of 2-alkenals to 3-hydroxyalkanals in the presence of an acid catalyst and a dissolved acid-base buffer brought to a pH of 2-5. A preferred acid-base buffer is propionic acid / triethylammonium propionate. [...
