Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new functional materials and fine chemicals, and particularly relates to hexachlorodimethylbenzene C6H4(CCl3)2 as a new acyl chloride reagent to realize efficient and low-cost green preparation of a series of carboxylic acid chlorides. BACKGROUND
[0002] Acyl chloride is an important class of functional chemical materials or organic synthesis intermediates, and has extremely wide application in the manufacture of fine chemicals, medicines, pesticides and the like. Traditionally, acyl chloride is prepared from corresponding carboxylic acid and so-called acyl chloride reagent, commonly used for example, thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride, (solid) phosgene, oxalyl chloride and the like. The participation of these raw materials usually inevitably produces long-term environmental management problems, including but not limited to emission of harmful three wastes such as sulfur dioxide, (sub)phosphoric acid, carbon monoxide, which is a dangerous or high-emission process strictly controlled by national laws and regulations, and a new process and technology of new type green and efficient and lower cost is urgently needed in the industry.
[0003]
[0004] Another acyl chloride reagent known from the literature is trichloromethylbenzene, which is known to those skilled in the art, which reacts with carboxylic acid to form the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride and benzoyl chloride, and industrialization cases are particularly, for example, trichloromethylbenzene and benzoic acid react to form benzoyl chloride. This process only produces hydrogen chloride dry gas as a byproduct, and the hydrogen chloride dry gas can be easily absorbed by water to form hydrochloric acid solution (used as a byproduct or sold externally), or directly oxidized to generate chlorine to realize the recycling of chlorine, which is a new technology worthy of promotion.
[0005] It needs to be particularly emphasized that dichlorohexamethylbenzene, i.e. para-, meta-, or ortho-substituted hexachlorodimethylbenzene, has few disclosures in the literature and industrial applications. This is worth thinking and attention, since hexachlorodimethylbenzene is derived from petrochemical refining abundant dimethylbenzene aromatic hydrocarbon resources and chlor-alkali chemical resources, which is low in cost and large in scale, and its rationalization and environmentally friendly utilization has extremely important practical significance.
[0006] The current literature is limited to preparing p-terephthaloyl chloride or m-terephthaloyl chloride, i.e. limited to condensation reaction of p-terephthaloyl chloride or m-terephthaloyl chloride with corresponding carboxylic acid of specific molecular skeleton, specifically, p-hexachlorodimethylbenzene and p-terephthalic acid (PTA) are reacted to prepare p-terephthaloyl chloride, or m-hexachlorodimethylbenzene and m-terephthalic acid are reacted to prepare m-terephthaloyl chloride.
[0007] This is not surprising, and the conventional wisdom is that hexachlorodimethylbenzene and trichloromethylbenzene are similar, and the former is recognized by inert thinking as only a special structural derivative of the latter.
[0008] The present application surprisingly found that, because the applicant first broke through the non-illumination liquid flow automated large-scale production of hexachlorodimethyl benzene manufacturing technology, carried out detailed and in-depth research, through practice found, out of the professional practitioners of the technology, unexpectedly, hexachlorodimethyl benzene is essentially a more active than trichlorobenzene, lower cost, more efficient process of new acyl chloride raw materials; that is, it is not a special case of trichlorobenzene, more importantly, it is a more broad-spectrum acyl chloride reagent raw material than trichlorobenzene.
[0009] On the one hand, the unexpectedness of the present application is derived from the fact that the technical personnel in the field have long failed to recognize that the mass ratio of the core functional group density, i.e. the trichloromethyl unit in the unit structure, in the trichlorobenzene structure is 1.5 (i.e. trichloromethyl / benzene ring); in contrast, the mass ratio in the hexachlorodimethyl benzene structure is as high as 3.1, i.e. the latter is more than double the former.
[0010] Higher trichloromethyl active group density means lower use cost. This effect is further amplified in practice, i.e. since hexachlorodimethyl benzene carries two active trichloromethyl functional groups, while trichlorobenzene has only one trichloromethyl functional group, therefore their molar ratio with the corresponding carboxylic acid, the former is 1 / 2, the latter is only 1 / 1, the quantity relationship is doubled, the cost is essentially halved, thus further strengthening the cost reduction and efficiency improvement benefits in terms of product output equivalent and volume. That is, compared with the trichlorobenzene system, hexachlorodimethyl benzene can convert carboxylic acid to its acyl chloride with higher efficiency and lower cost.
[0011] On the other hand, the unexpectedness of the present application also comes from the fact that the technical personnel in the field have not realized that due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of trichloromethyl, hexachlorodimethyl benzene is a significantly electron-deficient electrophile than trichlorobenzene, and thus it is easier to react with carboxylic acid to obtain higher product yield with faster speed and efficiency.
[0012] Meanwhile, further, the benzene diacyl chloride generated by hexachlorodimethyl benzene, especially terephthaloyl chloride, is solid at room temperature, which is significantly different from the liquid state of benzoyl chloride, so the product separation in the following reaction formula (I) becomes exceptionally easy due to the difference in the state of the two acyl chlorides.
[0013] The essence of the present application is to creatively replace trichlorobenzene with hexachlorodimethyl benzene in its cross-condensation reaction with different carboxylic acids of different mother nucleus structures to produce a series of industrially very important acyl chloride chemicals with lower cost and higher efficiency. Unexpectedly, although trichlorobenzene is generally recognized as the cheapest and most readily available acyl chloride reagent, the cost and efficiency benefits obtained by using the hexachlorodimethyl benzene system in the present application show a significant advantage over using the corresponding trichlorobenzene system.
[0014] The present application aims to explicitly establish hexachlorodimethylbenzene as a new generation of environmentally friendly acyl chloride reagent with broader spectrum and lower cost than trichloromethylbenzene for the first time in the industry. Its popularization and use will inevitably promote the manufacturing level of acyl chloride industry to a new height. SUMMARY
[0015] The present application has now found that hexachlorodimethylbenzene of structural formula A and carboxylic acid B (or its anhydride) react under the conditions of reaction formula (I) to co-produce benzene diacyl chloride of structural formula C and acyl chloride D. Both can be conveniently separated and purified by distillation, rectification, or crystallization, etc.

The advantage of using supercritical carbon dioxide as the reaction medium is green and environmentally friendly, and conducive to the occurrence of the reaction and the separation of the product, such advantages are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0025] In some cases, it is preferred to use the anhydride form of carboxylic acid B, because the action of the anhydride and the raw material A does not release hydrochloric acid dry gas while producing acyl chloride products, and the environmental friendliness of the process is more favorable.
[0026] One limitation is that carboxylic acid B does not contain several special structures, i.e. structures with the same molecular skeleton (double-substituted benzene ring) as raw material A, including: terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or phthalic acid; that is, acyl chloride D does not contain terephthaloyl chloride, isophthaloyl chloride, or phthaloyl chloride.
