Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of preparing hexamethylenediamine by hydrogenation of adiponitrile, and in particular to a hydrogenation method for synthesizing hexamethylenediamine and co-producing cycloheximide. Background Art

[0002] Hexamethylenediamine is an important chemical raw material, which can be used to synthesize nylon 66, nylon 610, hexamethylene diisocyanate, etc. Among them, 90% of hexamethylenediamine is used to synthesize nylon salt and then produce nylon 66. Nylon-66 is mainly used to produce engineering plastics and fiber products. Its plastic products have strong tensile strength and weather resistance, and can replace traditional metal materials for the production of mechanical parts, mechanical force components, etc. At present, the methods for industrial production of hexamethylenediamine mainly include low-pressure fluidized bed method and high-pressure fixed bed method. Patent US3821305 discloses the use of Raney nickel for hydrogenation of adiponitrile to prepare hexamethylenediamine. The reaction device is a three-phase fluidized bed. The catalyst particle size in the reaction is about 20-50μm, which is difficult to separate and has a high degree of wear on the device. At the same time, waste alkali liquid is generated, which is difficult to handle and causes great environmental pollution.

[0003] CN106536476B discloses a method and system for preparing hexamethylenediamine using a high-pressure fixed bed, wherein an iron-based catalyst is used in the process and the pressure is higher than 27 MPa.

[0004] Cycloheximide is also an important intermediate. It can be used as a pesticide intermediate to synthesize a variety of carbamate herbicides, and can also be used to prepare cycloheximide penicillin and anti-neuropathy drugs. There are three main methods for preparing cycloheximide: the first is to use aniline as a raw material and produce cycloheximide through hydrogenation reaction; the second is to use caprolactam as a raw material, and CN112079726B discloses this production method; the third is to use hexamethylenediamine as a raw material, and hexamethylenediamine can be deaminated and cyclized to obtain the target product.

[0005] In the prior art, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DCH) and aminomethylcyclopentylamine (AMCPA) are common impurities in hexamethylenediamine products. The content of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is used as one of the important indicators of industrial 1,6-hexamethylenediamine. According to the standard "HG / T 3937-2021", the content of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in superior hexamethylenediamine is ≤10mg / kg, the content of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in first-class hexamethylenediamine is ≤18mg / kg, and the content of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in qualified hexamethylenediamine is ≤30mg / kg. However, diamine impurities have a similar boiling point to hexamethylenediamine, and the diamine impurities produced in the reaction will increase the cost of subsequent product separation.
