Embodiment 1

[0038] Example 1. Synthesis of N-methyl-4-chlorophthalimide (VIII)

[0039] Charge 186.5 g (1 mole) of 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride into a suitably configured glass reaction vessel and heat to 150° C. under nitrogen protection. Methylamine gas (32 grams, 1.03 moles) was then introduced subsurface of the reaction vessel for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then heated at 180° C. for 3 hours. The product was then distilled to give N-methyl-4-chlorophthalimide in about 95% yield.

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2. Synthesis of 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride (IX)

[0041] 156.9 g (1.6 moles) of maleic anhydride and 250 ml of toluene were added to the flask. 25 ml of toluene was removed by distillation to dry the solution. 150 g (1.69 moles) of chloroprene dissolved in 250 ml of xylene was slowly added to the flask. The total addition took 30 minutes. The resulting solution was then heated at 55°C for 3 hours. The solution was then distilled to remove the solvent. The remaining material was distilled at 160-165° C. (1-2 mm pressure) to obtain 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride (253 g) with a yield of 85%.

Embodiment 3

[0042] Example 3. Synthesis of 4-chlorophthalic anhydride (III)

[0043] 1.5g of 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride, 0.262g of N-methyl-4-chlorophthalimide, 0.841g of triethylamine and 20ml of water were added to a 50ml resealable stainless steel tube. The tube was sealed and heated in an oil bath at 170°C for 3 hours, then cooled to room temperature.

[0044] A small sample in the aqueous phase was analyzed by means of GCMS. The analysis revealed that 83.2% of the exchanges took place. Analysis also showed that the reaction mixture consisted of 2.4 mol% N-methyl-4-chlorophthalimide, 11.9 mol% N-methyl-4-chlorotetrahydrophthalimide, 11.9 mol % of 4-chlorophthalic anhydride (as the triethylamine salt of the corresponding diacid) and 73.8 mol % of 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride (as the triethylamine salt of the corresponding diacid).

[0045] The aqueous phase was extracted with 20 ml of toluene containing 3 wt% triethylamine in a separatory funnel at room temperature...

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of substituted phthalic anhydrides (IV) wherein R' is a halogen, aromatic or aliphatic group comprising 1-18 carbons, hydrogen or nitro group is the transimidation between a substituted N-alkyl phthalimide (V) wherein R is an alkyl having from 1 to 18 carbons, and a substituted tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (VI): The by product of this reaction, a substituted N-alkyl tetrahydrophthalimide (VII), may be converted by aromatization to the substituted N-alkyl phthalimide (V).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] none [0003] Statement Regarding Federally Funded Research and Development [0004] none Background of the invention [0005] The present invention relates to the preparation method of acid anhydride. More specifically, the present invention relates to a transimidation-based process for the preparation of anhydrides. [0006] Polyetherimide is a high heat-resistant engineering plastic with many uses. As disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,229,482, a route for the synthesis of polyetherimides proceeds via bis(4-chlorophthalimide) having the structure (I) [0007] [0008] wherein X is a divalent alkylene, cycloalkylene or arylene moiety. Bis(4-chlorophthalimide) (II) wherein X is 1,3-phenyl is particularly useful. [0009] [0010] Typically, bis(chlorophthalimide) (I) and (II ). [0011] [0012] 4-Chlorophthalic anhydride is an expensive raw material, which currently has to be synthesized on commission. Ex...
