Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic compound preparation, specifically relating to a fluorinated phosphonic acid type weak acidic cationic resin catalyst and its preparation method, and a method for preparing tert-butyl methacrylate. Background Technology

[0002] Tert-butyl methacrylate (TMB)A is an important organic synthesis raw material widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives, plastics, resins, and other fields, with broad application prospects and market demand.

[0003] Currently, the main method for industrial production of tert-butyl methacrylate is to synthesize it by reacting (meth)acrylic acid and isobutylene under acidic catalytic conditions.

[0004] Patent CN202210076468.3 discloses a method for synthesizing tert-butyl (meth)acrylate, which involves reacting (meth)acrylate with isobutylene in the presence of a polymerization inhibitor and a catalyst to prepare tert-butyl (meth)acrylate. The catalyst used is a macroporous, strongly acidic cation exchange resin polymerized primarily from styrene and divinylbenzene. However, this method exhibits high selectivity for the byproducts diisobutylene and triisobutylene, while the selectivity for the product tert-butyl acrylate is low, at only 94.9%.

[0005] Patent CN202211477485.4 discloses a process for preparing tert-butyl methacrylate, which involves adding (meth)acrylic acid, a catalyst, a polymerization inhibitor, isobutylene, and an inert substance into a reaction vessel to synthesize tert-butyl methacrylate. The catalyst is one or more of acidic cationic resin, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and Nafion. However, this method uses a batch reaction process, and the selectivity of tert-butyl acrylate is only 98.6%, resulting in a low yield.

[0006] Patent CN201310041364.X discloses a process for the catalytic synthesis of tert-butyl acrylate using a strongly acidic cation exchange resin as a catalyst. Acrylic acid, a strongly acidic cation exchange resin, polymerization inhibitor A, and polymerization inhibitor B are added to a closed reactor. Liquefied isobutylene is added dropwise to initiate an esterification reaction. After the addition is complete, the reactor is kept at a constant temperature. After the temperature is maintained, the closed reactor is depressurized, filtered, and the liquid components are drawn into a distillation column. The byproducts tert-butanol and diisobutylene, and the target product tert-butyl acrylate, are separated sequentially. This example uses a batch reaction process.

[0007] Patent CN201911266958.4 discloses a process for synthesizing tert-butyl acrylate, using acrylic acid and isobutylene as raw materials and p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst. The process involves an acid-olefin addition reaction in a microchannel reactor, and the reaction solution is separated to obtain tert-butyl acrylate. This process utilizes a microchannel reactor, which is suitable for the strongly exothermic acid-olefin addition reaction, improving the reaction conversion rate and product selectivity. However, the selectivity of tert-butyl acrylate still needs further improvement.

[0008] Due to the high selectivity of diisobutylene and triisobutylene byproducts in the traditional direct olefin addition reaction of (meth)acrylic acid and isobutylene to prepare tert-butyl methacrylate, but low product selectivity, there is an urgent need to develop new catalysts and preparation methods for tert-butyl methacrylate to achieve high product selectivity and continuous and stable operation. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a fluorinated phosphonic acid type weakly acidic cationic resin catalyst and its preparation method, as well as a method for preparing tert-butyl methacrylate. The fluorinated phosphonic acid type weakly acidic cationic resin catalyst of this invention can be used to catalyze the acid-olefin addition reaction of (meth)acrylic acid and isobutylene. It exhibits low swelling ratio in the isobutylene system. When used in the preparation of tert-butyl methacrylate, the selectivity for byproducts diisobutylene and triisobutylene is low, enabling continuous production of tert-butyl methacrylate with high product selectivity.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] This invention provides a fluorinated phosphonic acid type weakly acidic cationic resin catalyst having at least one of the following structural formulas:

[0012]

[0013] The values ​​of m and n are independently 5 to 50, preferably 10 to 40;

[0023] The styrene units and perfluoroolefin units in the catalyst are random copolymers.

[0024] In step (1) of this invention, the polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 60-130°C, preferably 85-105°C, for a time of 3-14 hours, preferably 8-9 hours, and at a pressure of 2-7 MPaG, preferably 3-4 MPaG. After the reaction is completed, the pressure is released to atmospheric pressure.

[0025] The molar ratio of the perfluoroolefin to p-chlorostyrene is 1 to 4:1, preferably 2 to 3:1.

[0026] The perfluoroolefin is at least one of tetrafluoroethylene and / or hexafluoropropylene, preferably tetrafluoroethylene.

[0027] In step (1), an initiator is also added, which is selected from peroxide or azo initiators.

[0028] Preferably, the polymerization reaction further includes post-processing steps such as preparing oil beads. Known techniques in the art can be used, such as adding pure water and a gelatin-methylene blue solution to a reaction vessel, heating to 60-100°C, then adding the oil phase obtained after the polymerization reaction and reacting for 4-12 hours.

[0030] In the phosphonylation reaction, the alkyl phosphite is at least one selected from trimethyl phosphite, triethyl phosphite, and tributyl phosphite, preferably triethyl phosphite.

[0032] The solvent for the phosphonylation reaction is at least one of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and ethylene glycol monotert-butyl ether, preferably N,N-dimethylacetamide.

[0035] In step (3) of this invention, the hydrolysis reaction temperature is 50-110℃, preferably 70-90℃, and the time is 4-16h, preferably 8-12h.

[0036] In step (3), the phosphoric acid is preferably concentrated phosphoric acid with a concentration of 80-85 wt%.

[0037] In step (3), the mass ratio of concentrated phosphoric acid to phosphonylation product is 2 to 7:1, preferably 4 to 5:1.

[0038] Preferably, after the hydrolysis reaction is completed, the process further includes post-treatment processes such as washing, filtering, and drying.

[0039] The present invention also provides a method for preparing tert-butyl (meth)acrylate, wherein (meth)acrylate and isobutylene undergo an acid-olefin addition reaction under the conditions of a fluorinated phosphonic acid type weak acidic cationic resin catalyst as described in the present invention.

[0040] In this invention, a segmented fixed-bed tubular reactor is used, with isobutylene fed in segments.

[0041] This invention employs a segmented fixed-bed tubular reactor, preferably a fixed-bed tubular reactor with three or more segments, and more preferably a fixed-bed tubular reactor with three segments: upper, middle, and lower. Isobutylene is fed from the upper, middle, and lower segments respectively, which can further reduce the generation of by-products diisobutylene and triisobutylene, and reduce the consumption of isobutylene.

[0042] In this invention, the concentration of isobutylene in the fixed-bed tubular reactor can be controlled by controlling the segmented feeding method, so that the concentration of isobutylene inside the fixed-bed tubular reactor is low, avoiding the selective increase of by-product diisobutylene and triisobutylene due to excessively high isobutylene concentration.

[0043] In this invention, the reactor is filled with a fluorinated phosphonic acid type weak acidic cationic resin catalyst.

[0044] In this invention, in order to better achieve a uniform distribution of the reaction heat in the segmented fixed-bed tubular reactor, warm water is used for heat exchange. The temperature of the warm water is 20-40°C, preferably 25-35°C.

[0045] In this invention, a polymerization inhibitor is also added to the reaction, wherein the polymerization inhibitor is at least one of ZJ-701, ZJ-705, ZJ-706 and ZJ-709, preferably ZJ-706;

[0046] In this invention, the mass ratio of the polymerization inhibitor to (meth)acrylic acid is 0.0001 to 0.005:1, preferably 0.001 to 0.002:1.

[0047] In this invention, the molar ratio of isobutylene to (meth)acrylic acid is 1.0 to 2:1, preferably 1.1 to 1.2:1.

[0048] In this invention, the feed volume space velocity of the mixture is 0.3 to 3 h⁻¹. -1 Preferably 0.8–1.5 h -1 The reaction hotspot temperature is 20–50°C, preferably 30–40°C; the reaction pressure is 0.4–1.0 MPaG, preferably 0.6–0.7 MPaG.

[0049] In this invention, compressed nitrogen needs to be continuously introduced during the reaction process to maintain the pressure of the reaction system; preferably, the maximum pressure of the compressed nitrogen required to replenish the system pressure is 0.4 to 1.0 MPaG, more preferably 0.6 to 0.7 MPaG.

[0050] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this invention are as follows:

[0051] The fluorinated phosphonic acid type weak acidic cation exchange resin catalyst has moderate catalyst activity, selectively catalyzes the main reaction, and produces byproducts diisobutylene and triisobutylene with low selectivity. The reaction conditions are mild and the production is continuous. The selectivity of (methyl)tert-butyl ester is as high as 99% or more, and the conversion rate of (meth)acrylic acid is as high as 99.9%.

[0052] The fluorinated phosphonic acid type weak acidic cationic resin catalyst used contains fluorine, which has good resistance to swelling in the reaction liquid containing isobutylene, high strength, and is not easily crushed or pulverized under high pressure, thus extending the service life of the catalyst.

[0053] A segmented fixed-bed tubular reactor is adopted, with isobutylene fed in stages, ensuring uniform isobutylene concentration within the reactor and avoiding increased selectivity of by-products caused by high local isobutylene concentration.

[0054] The entire process is highly atom-economical, produces no catalyst waste liquid, generates little waste, and is environmentally friendly. It can be used for the large-scale continuous production of tert-butyl methacrylate. Detailed Implementation

The isobutylene was divided into three parts and fed into the upper, middle and lower feed ports of the reactor, respectively. The reaction pressure was controlled to 0.6 MPaG by adding oxygen-deficient gas. The reaction hot spot temperature was controlled to 30°C by adjusting the temperature of the jacket water. The ratio of isobutylene to acrylic acid in the raw material mixture was changed. The specific reaction process conditions and reaction results of Examples 3 to 7 are detailed in Table 1.

First, 706 polymerization inhibitor was added to methacrylic acid to prepare a methacrylic acid solution. Isobutylene and the methacrylic acid solution were added to the fixed-bed reactor in a certain proportion.
