Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical substance preparation, and particularly relates to an organic phosphite, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, organic phosphoric acids are not easy to produce in batches. In particular, alkyl phosphorous acids have a long production process route and easily generate harmful waste, which requires a relatively high treatment cost. There are mainly two mainstream methods for organic phosphites. One is to synthesize an organic phosphoric acid ester from phosphorus trichloride and then obtain an organic phosphorous acid through hydrolysis. The organic phosphorous acid then reacts with metals, metal oxides, or metal hydroxides to obtain an organic phosphite. CN201711175795.X describes the use of dialkyl phosphites to be heated and hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to obtain alkyl phosphorous acids, which then react with metals or metal compounds to obtain alkyl phosphites. The other is to use an aqueous solution of sodium hypophosphite to react with alkenes to synthesize monoalkyl phosphinates, which are then oxidized and acidified with an oxidizing acid to obtain organic phosphorous acids, and then react with metal compounds to obtain organic phosphites. CN200980138621.3 describes the use of alkyl phosphinic acids and their salts to react with alkenes to obtain alkyl phosphinic acids and their salts or esters, which are then further oxidized to alkyl phosphoric acids and their salts or esters. These methods have high energy consumption during the synthesis process and generate waste such as waste acids and strong oxidants, making subsequent treatment and recycling difficult and costly.

[0003] To solve these problems, the present invention uses phosphorous acid and its salts as starting agents, with a relatively simple reaction process that does not produce excess waste acids or strong oxidants, and has simple post-treatment and low costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention relates to the preparation and uses of an organic phosphite, which simplifies the synthesis process from inorganic phosphorus to organic phosphorus and reduces various wastes generated during production. Introducing a photoinitiator system enables the reaction in the system to be temperature-independent and can react at relatively low temperatures.

[0105] Comparative Example 1

[0106] Use 2 mol of DEEP (diethyl ethylphosphonate) and place it in a 2 L flask. Then add 500 ml of 2 mol / L sulfuric acid. Heat it up to 110 °C and reflux for 48 hours.

[0109] Through such a reaction, the content of ethylphosphonic acid obtained is relatively low, and there is residual sulfuric acid that needs to be treated. The process of distillation under reduced pressure easily causes the target product to be oxidized and turn yellow.

[0110] Comparative Example 2

[0111] Place 2 mol of DEEP (diethyl ethylphosphonate) in a 2 L flask, add 550 ml of 4 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, heat it up to 110 °C and reflux for 48 hours.

[0112] Sodium ethylphosphonate: 80 mol%;

[0113] Sodium monoethyl ethylphosphonate: 20 mol%;

[0114] There is still excessive alkali in the sodium ethylphosphonate synthesized by this method. After neutralization, there will be excess salt generated, which is mixed in the sodium ethylphosphonate and has a lower purity and is not easy to separate.

[0116] Put 2000 L of 1 mol / L hypophosphorous acid solution into a 5 L reaction kettle lined with enamel. After purging with nitrogen 3 times, introduce ethylene. When the pressure reaches 1 MPa and the temperature rises to 80 °C, add a sodium persulfate solution. Stop the reaction when about 1 mol of ethylene is consumed, evacuate the ethylene, and then acidify and oxidize the product with 10 mol of concentrated nitric acid for 10 hours to obtain an ethylphosphonic acid solution. Since there is a large amount of residual nitric acid in the solution, at this time, distill the nitric acid and then dissolve it to obtain the by-product dilute nitric acid and a sodium ethylphosphonate solution. After testing the phosphorus spectrum, carbon spectrum and hydrogen spectrum by nuclear magnetic resonance, the composition of the synthesized product is as follows:

[0117] Sodium ethylphosphonate: 50 mol%;

[0118] Sodium diethylphosphinate: 25 mol%;

[0119] Sodium phosphate: 25 mol%.

[0120] When synthesizing with this method, it is necessary to process the remaining nitric acid. The treatment process is complex, there are many impurities, the overall purity is poor, and it is not easy to industrialize.

[0121] It can be seen from the above Comparative Examples 1-3 that the content of organic phosphonous acid / organic phosphonite in the synthesis product is low, the quality is low, there are many impurities, and the treatment process is rather complex. In the synthesis product of the present invention, the active ingredient reaches more than 99%, and the process route is short, which is very suitable for industrialization.

[0122] Comparative Example 4

[0123] Dissolve potassium phosphite in deionized water to form an aqueous solution with a concentration of 2 mol / L, and add it to a stainless steel reaction kettle that has been purged with nitrogen three times in advance. When the temperature is raised to 80 °C, add ethylene to the reaction kettle. When the ethylene pressure reaches 10 MPa, slowly drop a mixed solution of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution and 0.02% ferrous sulfite solution, and then turn on the UV lamp to initiate the reaction. During the reaction, the reaction pressure is always maintained at 9.9-10 MPa, the reaction time is 20 h. After the reaction is completed, evacuate the ethylene, discharge the product and filter it. After testing the phosphorus spectrum by nuclear magnetic resonance, the composition of the synthesized product is as follows:

[0124] Potassium ethylphosphate: 87 mol%;

[0125] Potassium phosphite: 12.5 mol%;

[0126] Unknown potassium compound: 0.5 mol%.

[0127] It can be seen from the above Comparative Examples 1-3 that the content of organic phosphonous acid / organic phosphonite in the synthesis product is low, the quality is low, there are many impurities, and the treatment process is rather complex. It can be seen from Comparative Example 4 that when using ethylene alone, even when the pressure reaches 10 MPa, the reaction temperature reaches 80 °C and the reaction time reaches 20 hours, the product purity is only 87 mol%, and 12.5 mol% is still unreacted. In the synthesis product of the present invention, the active ingredient reaches more than 99%, and the process route is short, which is very suitable for industrialization.
