Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of homogeneous catalysis technology, and particularly relates to a selective oligomerization catalytic system and reaction method for ethylene. Background Technology

[0002] Linear α-olefins (LAOs) are typically long-chain olefins with 6 or more carbon atoms and vinyl functional groups located at the chain ends, primarily referring to 1-hexene and 1-octene. They have a wide range of industrial applications, with global demand exceeding 4 million tons (Pet. Chem. 2010, 50, 283-289; DGMK Tagungsber, 2009, 2, 63-74). These short-chain olefins are mainly consumed globally as comonomers for producing linear low-density polyethylene, and as intermediates for plasticizers and fatty acids (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 12492-12496; Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 7962-7978). The selective oligomerization of ethylene has advantages such as good atom economy and a simple process route, making it the main method for producing higher linear α-olefins such as 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, and 1-dodecene.

[0003] Over the past 20 years, in-depth research on ethylene oligomerization by academic and industrial communities has led to significant progress in this field (Coord. Chem. Rev. 2011, 255, 861-880; Organometallics. 2004, 23, 6288-6292; Organometallics. 2009, 28, 4852-4867). In 2003, Chevron-Phillips achieved the first industrial-scale production of selective trimerization of ethylene, marking a milestone in the history of ethylene oligomerization (Coor. Chem. Rev. 2011, 255, 1499-1517; Russ. J. Appl. Chem. 2008, 81, 1655-1666). Bollmann et al. of Sasol developed the first truly functional ethylene tetramerization catalytic system (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 14712-14713), with a selectivity for 1-octene exceeding 70%. SK Energy researchers developed a Cr-PCCP catalyst with a selectivity for 1-octene of 60% (J. Mol. Catal. A: Chem. 2008, 283, 114-119). Currently, the process for ethylene oligomerization to 1-hexene is relatively mature, but catalytic systems for ethylene tetramerization to 1-octene are usually accompanied by a wide distribution of byproducts, and good compatibility between selectivity and activity for 1-octene has not yet been achieved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an ethylene tetramerization catalyst system with high selectivity and catalytic activity for C8 linear α-olefins (1-octene) by finely adjusting the electronic properties and steric hindrance of the catalyst ligand substituents.

[0006] Ligand a;

[0007] Transition metal compound b, which is a metal compound belonging to groups IVB to VIII;

[0008] Activator C, which is a compound containing a Group IIIA metal;

[0009] The general structural formula of ligand a is shown in formula (I):

[0010]

[0011] R 1 ~R 4 Derivatives, each independently selected from alkyl, hydrogen, aryl, or aryl groups; R 5 Each is independently selected from hydrogen or alkyl groups; R 6 and R 7 Derivatives selected independently from aryl or aryl groups.

[0012] Furthermore, the alkyl group is C1-C. 10 The alkyl group; preferably, the alkyl group is selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl.

[0013] Furthermore, the aryl group is C6-C. 20 The aryl group is preferably selected from phenyl or substituted phenyl groups. More preferably, the aryl group is selected from phenyl, 4-methylphenyl or 4-methoxyphenyl, and the substituted phenyl group is selected from 2-fluorophenyl.

[0014] Furthermore, the aryl derivatives are selected from naphthyl, substituted naphthyl, or fluorenyl.

[0015] Furthermore, transition metal compound b is a compound containing chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, titanium, tantalum, vanadium, zirconium, iron, nickel, or palladium.

[0016] Furthermore, activator c is one or a mixture of two or more of alkylaluminum compounds and alkylaluminoxane compounds; wherein the alkylaluminoxane compounds include alkylaluminoxane compounds with volatile components removed.

[0017] Furthermore, the molar ratio of ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c is 1:0.5–100:0.1–5000.

[0018] This invention proposes a reaction method for selective oligomerization of ethylene, comprising an ethylene oligomerization reaction carried out in the presence of any of the above-mentioned catalyst systems.

[0019] Furthermore, the reaction is carried out in an inert solvent, which is one or more of alkanes, aromatics, alkenes, or ionic liquids; the reaction temperature is 0℃ to 200℃; and the reaction pressure is 0.1MPa to 50MPa.

[0020] This invention has the following advantages:

[0021] This invention designs a catalytic system with both high activity and excellent selectivity by studying the correlation between the selectivity of ethylene oligomerization and ligand steric hindrance and electronic effects. Its selectivity for the target product 1-octene can reach as high as 80.05%, exceeding that of the most representative PNP-type catalysts currently available. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0023] An embodiment of the present invention provides a catalyst system for the selective oligomerization of ethylene, characterized in that it comprises:

[0024] Ligand a;

[0025] Transition metal compound b, which is a metal compound belonging to groups IVB to VIII;

[0026] Activator C, which is a compound containing a Group IIIA metal;

[0027] The general structural formula of ligand a is shown in formula (I):

[0028]

[0029] R 1 ~R 4 Derivatives, each independently selected from alkyl, hydrogen, aryl, or aryl groups; R 5 Each is independently selected from hydrogen or alkyl groups; R 6 and R 7 Derivatives selected independently from aryl or aryl groups.

[0030] Among them, R 1 ~R 4 They can be the same or different. R 5 and R 1 ~R 4They can be the same or different.

[0031] The catalyst system for selective oligomerization of ethylene proposed in this invention includes ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c. Ligand a has the general structural formula shown in formula (I) and contains phosphorus and nitrogen atoms; transition metal compound b is a metal compound belonging to groups IVB to VIII, with a central metal atom; and activator c is a compound containing a group IIIA metal.

[0032] The ligand a proposed in this invention is an asymmetric ligand. PNP ligands possess excellent ethylene tetramerization properties, while similar PCP ligands completely lack this property. The ligand a proposed in this invention can be considered a PCPN ligand. Compared to PCP ligands, the introduction of the N atom allows the catalytic system's product distribution to shift from a broad distribution to ethylene tetramerization and ethylene trimerization. Furthermore, the steric hindrance of the N atom substituent further enhances its selectivity for 1-C8 to as high as 80.05%, surpassing that of classic PNP ligands and achieving unexpected technical effects. This catalytic system also possesses suitable catalytic activity.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the alkyl group is C1-C. 10 The alkyl group is selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl. More preferably, the alkyl group is selected from methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the aryl group is C6-C. 20 The aryl group is preferably selected from phenyl or substituted phenyl groups. More preferably, the aryl group is selected from phenyl, 4-methylphenyl, or 4-methoxyphenyl. The substituted phenyl group is selected from 2-fluorophenyl. The derivative of the aryl group is selected from naphthyl, substituted naphthyl, or fluorenyl.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transition metal compound b is a compound containing chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, titanium, tantalum, vanadium, zirconium, iron, nickel, or palladium. For example, the transition metal compound b can be one of CrCl3(THF)3, CrCl2(THF)2, CoCl3, and NiBr2. More preferably, the transition metal compound b is a chromium-containing transition metal compound. Selectable chromium compounds include those with the general formula CrR. n The compound shown has R in its formula. n R is an organic anion or neutral molecule. n It typically contains 1 to 10 carbon atoms, where n is an integer from 0 to 6, and chromium has a valence state of 0 to 6. Specifically, R... nThe functional group is an organic compound or its functional group containing a carboxyl group, a β-diketone group, or a hydrocarbon group. From the perspective of ease of solubility and handling, more suitable chromium compounds include one of chromium acetate, chromium isooctanoate, chromium n-octanoate, chromium acetylacetone, chromium diisoprene, chromium diphenyl, CrCl3(THF)3, CrCl2(THF)2, (phenyl)tricarbonyl chromium, and chromium hexacarbonyl.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the activator c is one or a mixture of two or more of alkylaluminum compounds and alkylaluminoxane compounds; wherein the alkylaluminoxane compounds include alkylaluminoxane compounds with volatile components removed.

[0037] Specifically, activator c can be a compound containing a Group IIIA metal, such as alkylaluminum compounds or alkylaluminoxane compounds. The alkylaluminum compound can be various trialkylaluminum compounds, such as triethylaluminum (TEA), triisobutylaluminum, tri-n-butylaluminum, tri-n-hexylaluminum, or tri-n-octylaluminum; the alkylaluminum compound can also be an alkylaluminum halide, an alkylaluminum hydride, or an alkylaluminum sesquichloride, such as diethylaluminum chloride (AlEt2Cl) and triethylaluminum chloride (Al2Et3Cl3); the alkylaluminoxane compound can be selected from methylaluminoxane (MAO), ethylaluminoxane, isobutylaluminoxane, modified aluminum oxane, and methylaluminoxane (DMAO) with volatile components removed. Preferably, activator c can be a mixture of an alkylaluminum compound and an alkylaluminoxane with volatile components removed, wherein the alkylaluminum compound is TEA and the alkylaluminoxane compound is DMAO. Preferably, the molar ratio of TEA to DMAO is 0.01 to 100, more preferably 0.1 to 10.

[0038] In this invention, TEA has a relatively weak alkylation ability, making it more suitable for the catalyst system proposed in this invention; at the same time, DMAO can shield the influence of volatile components such as toluene on the catalyst complexation process, thereby improving the activity of the catalyst system. The combination of the two can further reduce the amount of activator used.

[0039] Furthermore, the molar ratio of ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c is 1:0.5–100:0.1–5000.

[0040] Furthermore, the molar ratio of ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c is 1:0.5–100:0.1–200.

[0041] Furthermore, the molar ratio of transition metal compound b to activator c is 1:1 to 500.

[0042] Furthermore, the molar ratio of transition metal compound b to activator c is 1:1 to 200.

[0043] The preparation method of the catalyst system of the present invention will be further described below.

After the reaction is complete, filter the solution through a sintered glass funnel to collect the yellow solid, and dry it under vacuum to obtain the product Ph2PCH2Li (TMEDA). The molar ratio of diphenylmethylphosphine:n-BuLi:TMEDA can be 1:1~2:1~2; preferably, the molar ratio of diphenylmethylphosphine:n-BuLi:TMEDA can be 1:1.05:1.

[0047] (2) Preparation of Ph2PCH2P(NR) 1 R 2 (NR) 3 R 4 )

[0048] Take ClP(NR) diluted with n-hexane 1 R 2 (NR) 3 R 4 Cool the solution in a refrigerator for 10-20 minutes. Then, add Ph₂PCH₂Li(TMEDA) to the solution in small amounts several times while stirring vigorously for 12 hours. After the reaction is complete, filter the solution using a sintered glass funnel. Remove volatile components from the filtrate by vacuum distillation to obtain a brown oily substance or solid as the product Ph₂PCH₂P(NR). 1 R 2 (NR) 3 R 4 ); where ClP(NR) 1 R 2 (NR) 3 R 4 The molar ratio of Ph₂PCH₂Li(TMEDA) can be 1:1 to 2; preferably, ClP(NR) 1 R 2 (NR) 3 R 4 The molar ratio of Ph2PCH2Li(TMEDA) can be 1:1.05.

In other words, the catalyst can be prepared by premixing ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c; alternatively, ligand a, transition metal compound b, and activator c can be directly added to the reaction system for in-situ synthesis.

[0051] The reaction involving ligand a (of formula (I)), transition metal compound b, and activator c can occur via liquid-phase reaction, such as in the presence of a solvent (e.g., toluene, benzene, and their derivatives); solid-phase reaction; or in-situ reaction to generate a catalyst during oligomerization. The reaction can involve one, two, or three of the aforementioned ligands, transition metal compounds, and organometallic activators. This reaction process also constitutes the aging (pre-complexation) of the catalyst.

[0052] The method for the catalyst system of the present invention in the ethylene oligomerization reaction is further described below.

[0053] The present invention also provides a method for ethylene oligomerization, comprising an ethylene oligomerization reaction carried out in the presence of the above-described catalyst system.

[0054] In embodiments of the present invention, the reaction is carried out in an inert solvent, which is one or more of alkanes, aromatics, alkenes, or ionic liquids.

It should be noted that the metal here refers to the transition metal in transition metal compound b.
