Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyaniline derivative preparation technology, and more particularly to a method for preparing poly2,3-dimethylaniline. Background Technology

[0002] Polyaniline (PANI) is an effective additive in anti-corrosion coatings, and its low toxicity, non-polluting nature, and low price have made it highly popular. While PANI has achieved some commercial application, its rigid molecular chain and strong intermolecular forces result in poor solubility and processability, significantly limiting its commercial prospects. Research has found that PANI molecular chains with substituents on the benzene ring have lower rigidity, which is considered an effective way to improve PANI's solubility and processability. Poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) (P(2,3-DMA)), as one of the main derivatives of PANI, can reduce the rigidity of the PANI molecular chain and decrease in interchain forces due to the steric hindrance effect of the two methyl groups (-CH3) on the benzene ring, thus significantly improving PANI's solubility and showing promising application prospects in corrosion protection.

[0003] Poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), as a novel functional polymer material, has been subject to limited research both domestically and internationally regarding its synthesis process. One preparation method involves solution in-situ polymerization to synthesize doped poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), which exhibits superior solubility and corrosion resistance compared to polyaniline. However, this method utilizes ammonium persulfate (APS) as the primary oxidant, and the reduction product (ammonium sulfate) from this oxidant easily causes environmental pollution and increases product costs, inevitably leading to a loss of market competitiveness. Existing technologies also employ different acid doping methods for preparing poly(2,3-dimethylaniline). Phosphoric acid doping yields only around 75%, while camphor sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid doping yields do not exceed 70%. Although these methods significantly improve the solubility and corrosion resistance of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), their low yields, the use of APS as the oxidant, high costs, environmental pollution, and the significant salt production from the ammonium persulfate oxidation system make treatment extremely difficult. Furthermore, existing technologies also utilize APS / Fe... 2+ A method for preparing poly-2,3-dimethylaniline using composite oxidants, involving the addition of a reducing agent Fe. 2+ When combined with APS, the activation energy of the redox reaction between the two is greatly reduced. Although the product has excellent crystallization properties, the yield is only 54.5%. In the existing technology, a single oxidant is used to synthesize poly2,3-dimethylaniline. Although the process is simple, the yield is low, with the highest yield being only 70.43%.

[0004] In summary, the yields of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) prepared by existing technologies are all low, and it is relatively difficult to improve the yield. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), wherein the poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) prepared by the method has a high yield, which can reach more than 90%.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), comprising the following steps: Mix nitric acid solution and 2,3-dimethylaniline until completely dissolved, then add Fe. 3+ The catalyst is subjected to a first heat preservation, hydrogen peroxide is added, and a second heat preservation is performed to obtain the poly(2,3-dimethylaniline); The molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the nitric acid solution is (0.95~1.3):1.

[0007] Preferably, the mass percentage concentration of the nitric acid solution is 3% to 4%; The mixing temperature is 40~50℃.

[0008] Preferably, the Fe 3+ The catalyst includes one or more of ferric chloride, ferric nitrate and ferric sulfate.

[0009] Preferably, the Fe 3+ The molar ratio of catalyst to 2,3-dimethylaniline is (0.02~0.03):1.

[0010] Preferably, the temperature of the first heat preservation is 40~50℃ and the time is 0.5~1h.

[0011] Preferably, the hydrogen peroxide has a mass percentage concentration of 25% to 30%.

[0012] Preferably, the molar ratio of H2O2 and 2,3-dimethylaniline in the hydrogen peroxide is (1.8~2.3):1.

[0013] Preferably, the hydrogen peroxide is added over a period of 1 to 3 hours.

[0014] Preferably, the second heat preservation temperature is 40~50℃ and the time is 2~4h.

[0015] Preferably, after the second insulation is completed, post-processing is also included; The post-processing includes sequential cooling crystallization, filtration, washing, and drying.

[0016] This invention provides a method for preparing poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), comprising the following steps: mixing nitric acid solution and 2,3-dimethylaniline until completely dissolved, and adding Fe... 3+ The catalyst is subjected to a first heat treatment, hydrogen peroxide is added, and a second heat treatment is performed to obtain the poly(2,3-dimethylaniline); the molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the nitric acid solution is (0.95~1.3):1. The preparation method of this invention controls the molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dimethylaniline within the above range, which can ensure the yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline). When the molar ratio is greater than 1.3, due to the high content of nitric acid in the reaction system and its large proportion in the solution space structure, the nitric acid nitrate salt does not dissolve in the solution, and the corresponding yield will gradually decrease. When the molar ratio is less than 0.95, nitric acid preferentially forms nitric acid nitrate salt with 2,3-dimethylaniline, and there is no acid-catalyzed oxidation activity of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction system, which also leads to a significant decrease in the reaction yield. Meanwhile, the applicant found that when using a ferrous catalyst, the ferrous catalyst catalyzes the rapid oxidation rate of hydrogen peroxide, leading to high oxidation of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) with different degrees of polymerization, resulting in a decrease in the final yield. Using Fe... 3+ The catalyst serves two purposes: firstly, iron itself possesses oxidizing properties, capable of oxidizing 2,3-dimethylaniline to synthesize poly-2,3-dimethylaniline, thus increasing the yield; secondly, after its oxidizing effect, iron is reduced to ferrous iron, which acts as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxide, facilitating the oxidation of 2,3-dimethylaniline. Simultaneously, due to the oxidation of iron itself, the ferrous catalyst in the hydrogen peroxide solution becomes insufficient, reducing the high oxidation rate of poly-2,3-dimethylaniline by hydrogen peroxide, thereby reducing the hydrogen peroxide / Fe ratio. 3+ The combination of catalysts increased the reaction yield; then only in H2O2 / Fe 3+ The catalytic system still inevitably suffers from over-oxidation of 2,3-dimethylaniline. Therefore, this invention further uses nitric acid as the acid system and the steric hindrance effect generated by nitric acid and the dimethyl group of 2,3-dimethylaniline greatly reduces the over-oxidation, ultimately achieving a poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) yield of over 90%.

[0017] In summary, the iron catalyst prepared by the method described in this invention is Fe. 3+ Under acidic conditions, not only Fe 3+ It can exist stably while enhancing its oxidizing properties. In the reaction solution, iron catalysts oxidize 2,3-dimethylaniline to synthesize poly-2,3-dimethylaniline, while Fe... 3+ Converted to Fe 2+ Therefore, Fe 3+ It combines directly with hydrogen peroxide, utilizing Fe 3+ During the catalytic synthesis of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), Fe was generated. 2+The catalytic oxidation of hydrogen peroxide was achieved by utilizing the steric hindrance effect of the dimethyl groups in nitric acid and 2,3-dimethylaniline. Experiments verified that this successfully avoided the hydrogen peroxide / Fe... 2+ Fenton degradation oxidation improved the synthesis yield.

[0018] Fe 2+ + H2O2→ Fe 3+ + OH - + •OH The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1) Using H2O2 / Fe 3+ The synthesis of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) using the HNO3 catalytic system can achieve a yield of over 90%, which is significantly higher than that of hydrogen peroxide / Fe2O3. 2+ The yield of the oxidation system and the ammonium persulfate oxidation system increased by 10-20%; 2) Due to the high yield, the corresponding impurity content in the mother liquor is low, which increases the feasibility of reusing the mother liquor. The small molecule polymers contained in the mother liquor can be further recovered. 3) The reaction mother liquor is relatively simple to treat, and the COD content is 50% lower than that of the ammonium persulfate oxidation system, which greatly reduces the difficulty of treatment. In addition, the ammonium persulfate oxidation system produces a lot of salt, which is very difficult to treat. This invention does not produce salt, which further reduces the difficulty of post-treatment. 4) This invention uses hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, which is a green oxidant. The reaction produces •OH and OH-. - It is ultimately produced in the form of water, which further reduces the difficulty of post-processing. Detailed Implementation

[0019] This invention provides a method for preparing poly(2,3-dimethylaniline), comprising the following steps: Mix nitric acid solution and 2,3-dimethylaniline until completely dissolved, then add Fe. 3+ The catalyst is subjected to a first heat preservation, hydrogen peroxide is added, and a second heat preservation is performed to obtain the poly(2,3-dimethylaniline); The molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the nitric acid solution is (0.95~1.3):1.

[0020] In this invention, unless otherwise specified, all raw materials used in the preparation are commercially available products well known to those skilled in the art.

[0021] In this invention, the mass percentage concentration of the nitric acid solution is preferably 3% to 4%, more preferably 3%, 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 3.8%, or 4%. In an embodiment of this invention, the mass percentage concentration of the nitric acid solution may be 3.65% or 4%.

[0022] This invention typically uses hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid instead of nitric acid. It was found that phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid are weak acids, making it difficult to promote the oxidation effect of hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a lower yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline). Furthermore, the presence of dimethyl groups in the benzene ring of 2,3-dimethylaniline leads to poor water solubility. When forming ammonium salts under acidic conditions, these salts are difficult to dissolve in solution, significantly reducing the contact area between the raw material and the oxidant. This reduces the number of oxidation reaction sites in 2,3-dimethylaniline, further decreasing the product yield. However, using nitric acid as the acid system allows the nitric acid aniline salt formed with 2,3-dimethylaniline to dissolve completely in solution. Simultaneously, the larger spatial structure of nitric acid in solution hinders the high-level oxidation of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) with different degrees of polymerization by hydrogen peroxide. High-level oxidation would convert poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) into carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, the introduction of nitric acid enables the effective synthesis of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline).

[0023] In this invention, the molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the nitric acid solution is (0.95~1.3):1, preferably 0.95:1, 1.0:1, 1.05:1, 1.1:1, 1.15:1, 1.2:1, 1.25:1, or 1.3:1.

[0035] The yield in the following examples and comparative examples is calculated as follows: (W1-W2) / W2×100%, where W1 is the mass of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) and W2 is the mass of 2,3-dimethylaniline. Example 1 In a reaction flask, 3029.54 g of a 3.65% nitric acid solution (1.75 mol HNO3) and 187 g of 1.53 mol 2,3-dimethylaniline (HNO3 to 2,3-dimethylaniline molar ratio 1.14:1) were added sequentially. The mixture was stirred and heated to 37°C until the solid was completely dissolved. Then, 10.16 g of 0.042 mol ferric nitrate was added, and the mixture was kept at 44°C for 30 min.

[0040] Example 6 Referring to Example 1, the difference is that the molar ratio of H2O2 to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the hydrogen peroxide was replaced with a molar ratio of 2.3:1, instead of 2.01:1. The mass of hydrogen peroxide was 665.86 g, and the mass of 2,3-dimethylaniline was 187 g, resulting in poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) (product yield: 93.3%, COD: 12388 mg / L).

[0041] Comparative Example 1 Referring to Example 1, the difference is that 3029.54g of 3.65% nitric acid solution was replaced with 1601.63g of 4% hydrochloric acid solution, and the reaction time was kept at the temperature for 5 hours to obtain poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) (product yield 72.3%, COD: 39260mg / L).
