Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical production, and specifically, it provides a method for synthesizing adipate by hydrogen esterification of butadiene. Background Technology

[0002] Adipate esters are important C-6 platform compounds and are common polymer monomers for the synthesis of nylon 66, biodegradable polyesters, and polyurethanes. my country's production capacity reached 3 million tons in 2022, with a value of approximately 30 billion RMB. Currently, they are mainly produced through the nitric acid oxidation of cyclohexane or cyclohexene, a process with long routes, demanding production conditions, and high costs. In particular, it generates a large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, necessitating a revolutionary new method for the synthesis of adipate esters. The one-step synthesis of adipate esters via butadiene hydrogen esterification is a simple and efficient route and represents one of the technological development trends in adipate ester production. However, existing technologies suffer from a series of problems, such as low selectivity and low conversion rates, which hinder the application of this process.

[0003] The hydrogen esterification of butadiene was first discovered by Brewis and Hughes et al. (Chem. Commun. 1965, 8, 157). Catalyzed by bis(butylphosphine) palladium iodide, butadiene reacts with carbon monoxide and methanol to produce methyl 3-pentenoate, with a yield reaching up to 68%. However, this reaction is subject to harsh conditions (>150℃, 100-1000 atm), resulting in low conversion and selectivity, and only producing a single hydrogen esterified product. BASF has achieved a two-step synthesis of adipate esters using a two-step hydrogen esterification process for butadiene. A novel method (US3161672, US3876695, US4259501) using a cobalt-based metal catalyst was proposed, but the reaction conditions were also harsh (>150℃, 100-300 atm), and the selectivity was only 60-80%. Subsequently, companies such as DuPont (US4777284) and Shell (US4861912, WO00056695) investigated the hydrogen esterification of butadiene to prepare adipate, but neither the conversion rate nor the selectivity was improved. Later, US4575562 disclosed a method using trialkyl or triarylphosphine as ligands and palladium-catalyzed hydrogen esterification of butadiene to synthesize adipate, but the conversion rate was only 50% and the selectivity only 70%.

[0004] In 2019, Beller et al. achieved a breakthrough in the direct hydrogen esterification of butadiene using their newly developed bisphosphine ligand, HeMaRaphos, generating dimethyl adipate with 95% conversion and 97% selectivity at 120 °C and 40 atm (Science 2019, 366, 1514–1517). In 2021, building on their previous work, the same group achieved palladium-catalyzed hydrogen esterification of butadiene to synthesize diadipate using the simpler bidentate phosphine ligand dtbpx (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 9527). However, the highest turnover number (TON) of the above reactions was only 60,000, and the conversion frequency (TOF) was only about 1000 / hour, indicating that the catalytic efficiency still needs improvement. CN116925140 discloses the preparation of a heterogeneous catalyst based on bidentate phosphine ligand dtbpx and its application in the hydrogen esterification of butadiene to prepare adipate, but the conversion number of the reaction is 50,000, which has not been improved.

[0005] In summary, the existing palladium-catalyzed butadiene hydrogen esterification reaction has mild conditions, but its low catalytic activity results in low conversion number and conversion frequency, which affects the industrial application of this process. Summary of the Invention
