Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine. Background Art
[0002] 3,3'-Diaminodipropylamine, also known as dipropylenetriamine, norspermamine, etc., can be used as a synthetic unit of polymer materials, and is also a raw material for a variety of defoaming agents and antistatic agents. It can also be used to synthesize a variety of multidentate ligands and is widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
[0003]
[0004] At present, the method for producing 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine mainly uses ammonia as a raw material to react with acrylonitrile and then separates it by hydrogenation.
[0005] Method 1: Patent CN101817753A reports a method of using liquid ammonia and acrylonitrile to prepare the intermediate N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propylenediamine, and then obtaining 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine with a total yield of more than 80% by nickel-catalyzed hydrogenation.
[0006]
[0007] Method 2: Patent CN101111468A reports a method for preparing 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine by reacting 1,3-propylenediamine with hydrogen under palladium-carbon catalysis.
[0008]
[0009] Method 3: Patent CN116003268A reports a method of using 1,3-propylenediamine as a raw material, reacting with acrylonitrile to obtain an intermediate 3-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]propionitrile, and then hydrogenating it over ruthenium carbon to obtain 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine.
[0010]
[0011] In summary, although the current method for preparing 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine has a high conversion rate, the by-products in the reaction are difficult to avoid, and the molecular structure of the by-products is similar to that of the product, and the purification cost is high. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a synthetic method with both high conversion rate and selectivity. Summary of the invention
