Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical production, in particular to a method for inhibiting a deamination side reaction in the process of preparing 1-methyl-2,4-cyclohexanediamine by hydrogenating 2,4-diaminotoluene. Background Art

[0002] 1-Methyl-2,4-cyclohexanediamine (HTDA) is an important organic chemical and fine chemical intermediate. It can be used as an epoxy resin curing agent. The product has low viscosity, long operating time, good temperature resistance and high shear strength. It can also be used in composite materials, coatings and high-grade epoxy adhesives. It can also be used in the organic synthesis of polyamides, polyimides, etc., and as an amine chain extender for polyurethane synthesis, it forms urea bonds with isocyanate groups to improve the comprehensive performance of the product. It can also be used in the organic synthesis of medicines, high-grade dyes, etc.

[0003] In industry, diaminotoluene (TDA) is commonly used to hydrogenate HTDA. Due to the high activation energy barrier of the benzene ring, high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions are usually required. As a result, the side reaction of the para-amino group removal is very likely to occur during the hydrogenation of the benzene ring, which leads to the occurrence of a deamination side reaction, and ultimately reduces the selectivity of the product.

[0004] In the prior art, regarding the method of inhibiting the TDA hydrodeamination side reaction, sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is generally used as a deamination inhibitor in China. Although sodium nitrite has certain application value as a deamination inhibitor, its toxicity and potential harm to human health cannot be ignored.

[0005] Therefore, according to the development concept of green chemistry, in order to improve the utilization rate of reactants, inhibiting the occurrence of deamination side reactions has become an important research direction for the hydrogenation of TDA to HTDA. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for inhibiting the deamination side reaction in the hydrogenation process of 2,4-diaminotoluene, so as to solve the technical problem that the deamination side reaction is easy to occur in the hydrogenation reaction of 2,4-diaminotoluene, thereby resulting in the inability to achieve high selectivity of HTDA.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The air in the reactor is replaced with N2 three times at room temperature, and then low-speed stirring is started at 10-100 rpm. At the same time, H2 is introduced to replace the atmosphere in the reactor and part of the hydrogen is dissolved. Finally, H2 is introduced to a pressure of 2-5 MPa, the temperature is controlled at 150-200°C, and the stirring speed is increased to 700-1000 rpm for hydrogenation reaction for 8-15 hours to obtain the corresponding product.

[0013] Preferably, the deamination inhibitor added to the reaction system is aqueous ammonia with a mass concentration of 25%.

[0014] Furthermore, the reaction solvent is isopropanol.

[0015] Furthermore, the usage ratio of the supported single metal ruthenium-based heterogeneous catalyst, 2,4-diaminotoluene, deamination inhibitor, and reaction solvent is 1 g: 5 g: 5 mL: 250 mL.

[0016] Furthermore, the preparation steps of the supported metal ruthenium-based heterogeneous catalyst are:

[0017] (1) Loading metal: weigh a certain amount of carrier into a three-necked flask, add a certain proportion of distilled water and dispersant PEG-400, heat to 70-100°C in an oil bath and stir continuously, then slowly drop the metal precursor solution prepared with distilled water into the three-necked flask, and continue to stir to make it better dispersed; after the solution is added, continue to stir for a certain period of time to allow the metal cations to adsorb onto the carrier; after a period of time, add alkaline solution drop by drop, adjust the pH to 10-12, and stir for 1-2 hours; then stop heating and stirring, and centrifuge and wash the impregnated metal precursor to neutrality to obtain a metal precursor;

[0018] (2) Pretreatment of metal precursor: calcining the metal precursor in a muffle furnace under air atmosphere for 4 h;

[0019] (3) Catalyst reduction: using a fixed bed to reduce the metal precursor treated in step (2) in a hydrogen atmosphere at 250° C. to obtain the corresponding catalyst;

[0020] (4) Catalyst pretreatment: The catalyst treated in step (3) is placed in a 5 wt % LiOH solution for 12 h, washed to neutrality, and dried to obtain a supported single metal ruthenium-based heterogeneous catalyst.

[0022] Preferably, the alkaline solution in step (1) is a NaCO3 or (NH4)2CO3 solution with a molar concentration of 0.01-1 mol / L.

This not only significantly reduces the incidence of side reactions and improves the atomic utilization of the reaction, but also has lower requirements on equipment, meeting the requirements of "green chemistry".

The present invention uses ammonia water as a deamination inhibitor, which not only inhibits the occurrence of deamination side reactions, but also acts as a solvent for dispersing the catalyst. Moreover, as a deamination inhibitor, it is easy to remove, which greatly reduces the separation and purification problems in industrial production.

[0081] Test Case

[0082] The intermediate samples and final products obtained by the methods of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were analyzed and tested in a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument. The evaluation results of the methods of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are shown in Table 1.

[0083] Table 1 Method evaluation results of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] The results show that: compared with Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, when the same catalyst is used and other conditions are exactly the same, the addition of 5mL of ammonia water can increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 16%; compared with Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, when the same catalyst is used and other conditions are exactly the same, the addition of 5mL of ammonia water can increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 35%; compared with Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, when the same catalyst is used and other conditions are exactly the same, the addition of 5mL of ammonia water can increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 41%; compared with Example 4 and Comparative Example 4, when the same catalyst is used and other conditions are exactly the same, the addition of 5mL of ammonia water can increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 23%; compared with Example 5 and Comparative Example 5, when the same catalyst, i.e., 5% Ru / γ-Al2O3 catalyst, and other conditions are exactly the same, the addition of 5mL of ammonia water can increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 23%. Compared with Examples 1, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the same catalyst was used, only the amount of ammonia water added was different, and under the condition that other conditions were exactly the same, the highest selectivity was obtained by adding 5 ml of ammonia water, and adding more ammonia water did not have a better effect. Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 10, under the condition that the same catalyst was used and other conditions were exactly the same, the addition of 3.2 g of ammonium carbonate (the amount of ammonia was equivalent to 5 ml of ammonia water) could increase the selectivity of the final sampled product HTDA by 24%; it can be seen that in the process of preparing HTDA by hydrogenation of TDA catalyzed by a supported single metal ruthenium-based heterogeneous catalyst, the addition of ammonia water can indeed effectively reduce the occurrence of deamination side reactions and improve the selectivity of the product. Under the conditions that the supported single metal ruthenium-based heterogeneous catalyst uses different carriers (activated carbon, ZSM-5, TiO2, Y-type molecular sieve, γ-Al2O3, etc.), the addition of ammonia water can play a role in reducing the occurrence of deamination side reactions.

[0087] The study found that when the same catalyst and other conditions were the same, as the amount of ammonia water added gradually increased, the selectivity of the product gradually increased, but when the amount of ammonia water reached 5 mL, that is, reached 2% of the total mass of the system, the selectivity of the product no longer increased significantly, as shown in the test results of Examples 1 and 6, 7, 8, and 9.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the technical solution and conceptual invention of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
