Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a catalyst, and particularly to a rhodium-containing catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Oxo synthesis of olefins is an important method for preparing aldehydes and alcohols. The products are widely used in fields such as plasticizers and detergents. Usually, a rhodium-phosphine complex formed by a phosphine ligand and a rhodium precursor is used as a catalyst. During the oxo synthesis reaction of olefins, usually, the rhodium precursor and the phosphine ligand are simultaneously added to the reaction kettle, and the required catalyst is formed by in-situ generation of the rhodium-phosphine complex. In this method, the catalyst precursor and the phosphine ligand in the system cannot completely form the rhodium complex of the phosphine ligand, resulting in waste of rhodium and low catalytic reaction efficiency. At present, there are also methods recorded in the literature for directly preparing the rhodium-phosphine complex and then using it, but there are often problems such as cumbersome preparation processes and low yields.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms used herein should be understood as having the meaning commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. In case of conflict, this specification prevails.

[0038] Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, and equipment used in the present application can be obtained through the market or can be prepared by existing methods.

[0039] The preparation of existing rhodium-phosphine complexes has technical problems such as cumbersome processes and low yields.

[0040] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application to solve the above technical problems have the following general ideas:

[0041] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing a rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst. Please refer to Figure 1 , and the method for preparing the rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst includes the following steps:

[0042] S1: Provide an alcohol solution of a bidentate phosphine ligand;

[0043] S2: In an inert gas atmosphere, sequentially drop an alcohol solution of rhodium trihalide hydrate and a formaldehyde solution into the alcohol solution of the bidentate phosphine ligand to obtain a premixed solution;

[0044] S3: Heat the premixed solution to a predetermined temperature and react for a predetermined time to obtain a rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst.

[0045] Among them, the bidentate phosphine ligand is one of the molecules represented by the general formula (1):

[0046]

[0047] Among them, R1 is selected from one of the groups represented by the general formula (2.1), the general formula (2.2), the general formula (2.3), and the general formula (2.4):

[0048]

[0049] Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 are all aryl groups.

[0050] The beneficial effect that R1 is selected from one of the groups represented by the general formula (2.1), the general formula (2.2), the general formula (2.3), and the general formula (2.4) is that it changes the steric hindrance and electronic structure of the ligand in the catalytically active species, modulates the performance of the catalyst, and selects ligands with different structures according to the market demand for products to meet the needs of industrial production.

[0051] In the present application, by selecting a ligand with a bidentate phosphine structure and rhodium trihalide as reactants, a rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst can be generated through a one-step reaction, which is simple and easy to operate, does not have the problem of cumbersome processes, and achieves a high yield of about 95%.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 are each independently selected from one of the molecules represented by the general formula (3):

[0053]

[0054] Among them, R4 is a substituent.

[0055] The beneficial effects of Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 being selected from the above general formula are that the generated catalyst has good activity and good selectivity.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a trifluoromethyl group, a nitro group, a sulfonic acid group, or a cyano group.

[0057] When R2, R3, and R4 are selected from the above groups, it has at least one of the beneficial effects of good activity of the generated catalyst and high normal-to-iso ratio of the generated product.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the hydrated rhodium trihalide is at least one of hydrated rhodium trifluoride, hydrated rhodium trichloride, hydrated rhodium tribromide, and hydrated rhodium triiodide.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the solvent of the alcoholic solution of the bidentate phosphine ligand is at least one of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, isopropanol, 1,3-propanediol, 1-butanol, and 2-butanol.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the concentration of the alcoholic solution of the bidentate phosphine ligand is 0.15 to 3.0 mol / L.

[0061] The beneficial effects of the concentration of the alcoholic solution of the bidentate phosphine ligand being selected from the above range are that it can not only fully dissolve the bidentate phosphine ligand but also ensure a high concentration of the bidentate phosphine ligand to increase the reaction rate. In addition, the reactants of the chemical reaction involved in the method of the present application are the bidentate phosphine ligand and rhodium trihalide. Increasing the concentration of the bidentate phosphine ligand is beneficial to making as much rhodium trihalide react as possible, thereby increasing the yield of the chemical reaction.

[0062] As an example, the concentration of the alcoholic solution of the bidentate phosphine ligand can be 0.15 mol / L, 0.4 mol / L, 1 mol / L, 2 mol / L, or 3.0 mol / L.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the solvent of the formaldehyde solution is at least one of water and ethanol.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the molar ratio of the bidentate phosphine ligand to the hydrated rhodium trihalide is 1.2 to 5.0:1.

[0065] It is easy to understand that in order to consume the relatively expensive rhodium trihalide as much as possible, the bidentate phosphine ligand should be in excess. However, when the molar ratio of the bidentate phosphine ligand to the hydrated rhodium trihalide is greater than 5.0:1, the effect of increasing the yield brought by the increase in its concentration will become very small.

[0066] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst, and the rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst is one of the molecules represented by the general formula (4):

[0067]

[0068] Wherein, R1 is selected from one of the groups represented by the general formula (2.1), general formula (2.2), general formula (2.3), and general formula (2.4):

[0069]

[0070] Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 are all aryl groups.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 are each independently selected from one of the molecules represented by the general formula (3):

[0072]

[0073] Wherein, R4 is a substituent.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a trifluoromethyl group, a nitro group, a sulfonic acid group, or a cyano group.

[0075] It is easy to understand that the rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst described in any embodiment of the second aspect of the present application can be prepared by the method described in a certain embodiment of the first aspect of the present application.

[0076] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and not to limit the scope of the present application.
