Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing benzohydroxamic acid. Background Art

[0002] Alkyl hydroxamic acid is a collector for oxide ores and transition metal minerals. The oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the hydroxamic acid molecular structure contain lone pair electrons and can react with metal ions Cu 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、W 2+ 、Sn 2+ 、Fe 3+ and Zn 2+ Hydroxamic acid forms stable chelates with various metal ions. Hydroxamic acid has been widely used in hydrometallurgy, biomedicine, chemical separation, organic preparation and other fields. Especially in the flotation industry, hydroxamic acid is a highly efficient chelating oxide ore collector and is widely used in the recovery of various metal oxide ores and rare minerals.

[0003] Alkyl hydroxamic acids are synthesized by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid esters with hydroxylamine. Most of these use organic solvents as dispersants, resulting in high costs for recovering the organic solvents. CN114797705A discloses a system and method for continuously preparing phenylhydroxamic acid using a microreactor. The raw materials, phenylhexanoic acid methyl ester and hydroxylamine hydrochloride or hydroxylamine sulfate, are mixed and reacted in the presence of sodium alkoxide within a microreactor to produce phenylhydroxamic acid sodium salt, which is then further acidified to obtain phenylhydroxamic acid. The method comprises multiple microreactors. The sodium alkoxide catalyst required for the reaction is expensive, and the equipment investment required for mass production is substantial. CN109810022B discloses a high-content liquid sodium benzohydroxamate, its preparation, and application. However, its application in polymer emulsions results in high wastewater treatment and production costs, and the sodium salt is less stable than hydroxamic acid. CN103922968B discloses a method for preparing hydroxamic acid or hydroxamate. The process has a high yield of benzohydroxamic acid and produces no wastewater. However, the process uses highly toxic and flammable methanol as a solvent. Furthermore, the purity of the product prepared by the process is only about 50%, which cannot meet the requirements of mineral flotation.

[0004] Zhang Faming et al. proposed a one-pot process for the synthesis of benzohydroxamic acid in the Journal of Chemical Minerals and Processing, Issue 4, 2020. This process involves esterifying an alkyl acid with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid to form an alkyl carboxylate, which is then directly oximated to hydroxamic acid without separation. Because the sulfuric acid catalyst consumes some sodium hydroxide, the amount of sodium hydroxide added is greater than that of the alkyl ester. Furthermore, excess methanol is not separated during the esterification process, resulting in methanol loss. This process, therefore, is costly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for synthesizing benzohydroxamic acid, in order to provide a benzohydroxamic acid production process with low production cost and high product purity.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing benzohydroxamic acid, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Oximation step: methyl benzoate, hydroxylamine sulfate, a phase transfer catalyst, a defoamer and water are mixed, a base is added, and an oximation reaction is carried out at 25 to 42° C. to obtain an oximation system;

[0008] Acidification step: adding concentrated sulfuric acid to the oximation system to carry out an acidification reaction to obtain an acidified system;

[0009] Crystallization step: the acidified system is cooled to 20-25° C., crystallized, and filtered to obtain benzohydroxamic acid crystals.

[0010] Methyl benzoate is readily soluble in organic solvents but poorly soluble in water, whereas hydroxylamine sulfate and alkali, while readily soluble in water, are poorly soluble in the organic phase, making a two-phase reaction difficult. The inventors attempted to use methanol as the reaction solvent, dissolving the hydroxylamine sulfate and alkali in a small amount of water before reacting with methyl benzoate and methanol. As the reaction proceeds, the resulting sodium benzohydroxamate produces a large amount of foam, making the reaction difficult to proceed; furthermore, as the acidification reaction proceeds, excess sodium sulfate is produced, which precipitates during crystallization, resulting in reduced product purity.

[0011] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: Using water as the solvent in the present invention improves the solubility of sodium benzohydroxamate in water compared to methanol. This facilitates the release of sodium benzohydroxamate from the organic phase into the aqueous phase, promoting the forward progress of the oximation reaction. Furthermore, using water as the solvent is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and low-cost.

[0012] Moreover, in the present invention, a phase transfer catalyst is added in the oximation step. The phase transfer catalyst can undergo ion exchange with the reactants in the aqueous phase to form ion pairs soluble in organic solvents, and the reactants in the aqueous phase are transferred to the organic phase. Then, ion exchange is performed again to promote the reaction and accelerate the reaction rate.

[0013] The inventors also discovered that the sodium benzohydroxamate generated during the reaction produces foam that envelops the reactant methyl benzoate, causing it to float on the upper surface of the reaction solution, making it difficult for it to come into contact with the aqueous phase, hindering the reaction. Therefore, in the present invention, a defoaming agent is added during the oximation step to facilitate the entry of the sodium benzohydroxamate generated during the reaction into the reaction system, thereby reducing foam generation, facilitating the reaction, and improving the yield of benzohydroxamic acid.

[0014] The inventors also discovered that after the acidification reaction, the crystallization temperature significantly affects the purity and yield of the benzohydroxamic acid product. Low crystallization temperatures cause the byproduct sodium sulfate to crystallize with the product, reducing its purity; high crystallization temperatures also result in low product yields. Therefore, the present invention controls the crystallization temperature at 20-25°C to ensure optimal product purity and yield.

[0015] The synthesis method of the present invention has the advantages of stable production indicators, simple process control, and low cost. In addition, the benzohydroxamic acid product prepared by the present invention has high purity and good yield. The purity of benzohydroxamic acid is as high as 99%, and it can be directly used as a mineral flotation agent without further purification.

[0016] Optionally, the molar ratio of the methyl benzoate, hydroxylamine sulfate, base, phase transfer catalyst and defoamer is 1:0.5-0.6:2-2.2:0.016-0.02:0.015-0.134. In this embodiment, the molar ratio of the methyl benzoate, hydroxylamine sulfate, base, phase transfer catalyst and defoamer is limited so that the proportion and amount of the methyl benzoate, hydroxylamine sulfate, base, phase transfer catalyst and defoamer are appropriate.

[0017] Optionally, the molar ratio of methyl benzoate, hydroxylamine sulfate, base, phase transfer catalyst and defoaming agent is 1:0.5:2:0.018:0.134. In this embodiment, under this molar ratio, the purity and yield of benzohydroxamic acid are both good.

[0018] Optionally, the molar ratio of methyl benzoate to concentrated sulfuric acid is 1:0.50 to 0.53. In this solution, under this molar ratio, the molar amount of concentrated sulfuric acid is appropriate to avoid excessive or insufficient use of concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0019] Optionally, the molar ratio of methyl benzoate to concentrated sulfuric acid is 1:0.51.

[0020] Optionally, the phase transfer catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt, and the quaternary ammonium salt is selected from one or more of benzyltriethylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, trioctylmethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride and tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride.

[0021] Optionally, the phase transfer catalyst is tetraethylammonium chloride.

[0022] Optionally, the defoaming agent is a C4-C8 alcohol.

[0023] Optionally, the defoaming agent is butanol.

[0024] Optionally, the base is one or both of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

[0025] Optionally, the base is sodium hydroxide.

[0026] Optionally, in the oximation step, the oximation reaction temperature is 38-42° C. Using this temperature range for the oximation reaction can ensure the reaction rate and avoid many side reactions: when the reaction temperature is too low, the reaction rate is slow; when the reaction temperature is too high, many side reactions occur, such as the hydrolysis reaction of methyl benzoate.

[0027] Optionally, in the acidification step, the temperature of the acidification reaction is 30-42° C. In this embodiment, since benzohydroxamic acid itself is not very stable, the temperature of the oximation reaction and the acidification reaction should not be too high to reduce product decomposition.

[0028] Optionally, in the crystallization step, the crystallization temperature is 22-25° C. In this embodiment, 22-25° C. is the preferred crystallization temperature range, and the obtained benzohydroxamic acid product has a good yield and high purity.

[0029] Optionally, in the crystallization step, the crystallization temperature is 22°C.

[0030] Alternatively, hydroxylamine sulfate is replaced by hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the oximation step.

[0031] Alternatively, in the acidification step, concentrated sulfuric acid is replaced by concentrated hydrochloric acid. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
