Description

Process for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane and process for producing 1,1-disubstituted olefin

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a process for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethanes and a process for producing 1,1-disubstituted olefins.

[0002] Cyanoacrylates have traditionally been used in a variety of applications (for example, adhesives, coating agents, sealants, etc.).

[0003] Cyanoacrylates are generally produced by condensing cyanoacetate and formaldehyde in an organic solvent and then depolymerizing the resulting polymer at high temperature and reduced pressure. The resulting cyanoacrylate (hereinafter also referred to as "crude cyanoacrylate") contains impurities (e.g., cyanoacrylate raw materials, catalysts, by-products, etc.). Therefore, the crude cyanoacrylate is distilled to obtain a highly pure cyanoacrylate (hereinafter also referred to as "purified cyanoacrylate") (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2004 / 106284

[0005] However, distillation may not be sufficient to remove impurities from crude cyanoacrylates. Therefore, there is a need for a method for producing anionically polymerizable 1,1-disubstituted olefins (e.g., cyanoacrylates) (hereinafter also referred to as "anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefins") in high yields by separating impurities without distillation.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above circumstances. An object of one embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane that can be used as a raw material in a production method that can produce anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefins in high yield without performing distillation. An object of another embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a method for producing 1,1-disubstituted olefins that can produce anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefins in high yield without performing distillation.

[0020] The term "hydrogenation catalyst" refers to a solid catalyst for a hydrogenation reaction. The term "hydrogenation reaction" refers to a reaction in which hydrogen is added to the unsaturated bond of an unsaturated organic compound.

[0021] The method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane of the first embodiment has the above-described configuration, and therefore can produce 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane that can be used as a raw material in a production method that can produce anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefins in high yield without performing distillation.

[0022] The anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefin is represented by the following formula (III):

In other words, a water scavenger may be further added to the reaction vessel to allow the reduction reaction to proceed. The reduction reaction step may be carried out in the absence of a water scavenger.

[0062] The term "water scavenger" refers to a solid that has the property of absorbing moisture.

[0063] The reduction reaction step is preferably carried out in the presence of a water scavenger. When synthesizing the trisubstituted ethane (II), a compound having a highly electron-withdrawing functional group (e.g., a cyano group) at the carbon at the first position of the carbon-carbon multiple bond is prone to side reactions (e.g., elimination of a substituent at the carbon at the second position of the carbon-carbon multiple bond). The presence of a basic atmosphere or a Lewis basic compound can cause an elimination reaction. By carrying out the reduction reaction step in the presence of a water scavenger (i.e., a dehydrating agent), water, which can become a Lewis base, is removed. This makes it difficult for side reactions to proceed. As a result, the method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane of the first embodiment can produce the trisubstituted ethane (II) in a higher yield than when the reduction reaction step is not carried out in the presence of a water scavenger.

[0064] Examples of water scavenger agents include crystalline zeolites (e.g., molecular sieves), carboxylic acid anhydrides (e.g., acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, and butyric anhydride), and oxides (e.g., phosphorus pentoxide, calcium oxide, barium oxide, and magnesium oxide). These water scavenger agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The water scavenger agent may be a known water scavenger.

[0065] When the reduction reaction step is carried out in the presence of a water scavenger, the water scavenger preferably contains a crystalline zeolite and a carboxylic acid anhydride. This makes it easier to remove water, which can become a Lewis base. As a result, the method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane of the first embodiment can produce trisubstituted ethane (II) in a higher yield than in a configuration in which the water scavenger does not contain a crystalline zeolite or a carboxylic acid anhydride.

[0066] When the reduction reaction step is carried out in the presence of a water scavenger, the amount of the water scavenger used is not particularly limited. When the water scavenger contains a carboxylic acid anhydride, the amount of the water scavenger used is preferably 1 part by mass to 100 parts by mass, more preferably 5 parts by mass to 50 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the tri-substituted olefin (I). When the water scavenger contains a molecular sieve, the amount of the water scavenger used is preferably 10 parts by mass to 500 parts by mass, more preferably 100 parts by mass to 200 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the tri-substituted olefin (I).

[0067] (1.1.1.6) Solvent The reduction reaction step may be carried out in the presence of a solvent. In other words, the reduction reaction may be carried out by adding a solvent to the reaction vessel. The reduction reaction step may be carried out in the absence of a solvent.

[0068] Examples of the solvent include aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene), ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, anisole, and tetrahydrofuran), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and acetophenone), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and n-butanol), carboxylic acids (e.g., formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid), esters (e.g., methyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and benzyl benzoate), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., n-hexane, n-octane, and cyclohexane), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., dichloromethane, trichloroethane, and chlorobenzene), nitro compounds (e.g., nitromethane and nitrobenzene), and carboxylic acid amides (e.g., N,N-dimethyl formamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc.), ureas (e.g., N,N'-dimethylimidazolidone, and N,N,N,N-tetramethylurea, etc.), sulfones (e.g., dimethyl sulfone, and tetramethylene sulfone, etc.), sulfoxides (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, and diphenyl sulfoxide, etc.), lactones (e.g., γ-butyrolactone, and ε-caprolactone, etc.), polyethers (e.g., triglyme (triethylene glycol dimethyl ether), tetraglyme (tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether), and 18-crown-6, etc.), nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile, and benzonitrile, etc.), and carbonates (e.g., dimethyl carbonate, and ethylene carbonate, etc.). These solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0069] The reduction reaction step is preferably carried out in the presence of a solvent, and the solvent preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons, ethers, ketones, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and esters.

[0070] When the reduction reaction step is carried out in the presence of a solvent, the amount of the solvent used is not particularly limited, and is preferably 10 parts by mass to 2000 parts by mass, more preferably 50 parts by mass to 500 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the trisubstituted olefin (I).

[0071] (1.1.1.7) 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane By carrying out the reduction reaction step, trisubstituted ethane (II) is obtained. Trisubstituted ethane (II) is represented by the following formula (II).

[0072]

[0073] In formula (II), A and D are each independently CN, CO 2 R 1 , C.O.R. 1 , CON(R 1 ) 2 , S.O. 2 R 1 , S.O. 3 R 1 , COPO (OR 1 ) 2 , COP(OR 1 ) 2 , and NO 2 R represents one selected from the group consisting of 1 is a linear or branched saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 20 Alkyl, C 1 -C 20 Alkyl halides, C 4 -C 20 Alkylsilane, C 1 -C 20 Acetoxysilane, C 2 -C 20 Alkoxyalkyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkenyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkynyl, C 2 -C 10 Alkylene, C 3 -C 20 Cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, C 3 -C 20In formula (I) and formula (II), R represents a linear, branched, or alicyclic saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 20 It represents an alkoxy group, a carboxy group, a hydroxy group, a fluoroalkylsulfone group, a fluorosulfone group, an alkylsulfone group, an arylsulfone group, a halogen atom, a phenoxy group, or a selenoxy group.

[0074] In formula (II), A, D, and R are the same as those exemplified as A, D, and R in formula (I). A in formula (II) is the same as A in formula (I). D in formula (II) is the same as D in formula (I). R in formula (II) is the same as R in formula (I).

[0075] The trisubstituted ethane (II) includes, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (II-1):

[0076]

[0077] In formula (II-1), p, L 1 , R 7 , and R 8 is as described above in formula (I-1).

[0078] The use of the trisubstituted ethane (II) is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a raw material for anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefins.

[0079] (1.1.2) Separation Step The method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane of the first embodiment may include a separation step. In the separation step, the reaction solution after the reduction reaction step is filtered. The separation step is carried out after the reduction reaction step is carried out. As a result, the hydrogenation catalyst is separated from the reaction solution, and the target trisubstituted ethane (II) can be recovered. When the reduction reaction step is carried out in the presence of a water scavenger, the solid (insoluble) water scavenger is also separated from the reaction solution together with the hydrogenation catalyst by filtration. The filtration method is not particularly limited, and any known method may be used.

[0080] When the reduction reaction step is carried out in the presence of a solvent, the separation step may involve distilling off the solvent from the reaction solution after filtration. The boiling point of the impurity liquid (e.g., carboxylic acid produced from carboxylic acid anhydride and water) contained in the reaction solution after the reduction reaction step is close to the boiling point of the solvent. This separates impurities from the reaction solution in addition to the solvent. As a result, a reaction solution with a higher yield of trisubstituted ethane (II) can be obtained. Examples of distillation methods include evaporators, simple distillation, and thin-film distillation. The temperature during distillation may be 40°C to 120°C.

[0081] (1.2) Method for Producing 1,1-Disubstituted Olefin The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure includes a step of obtaining a 1,1-disubstituted olefin represented by the following formula (III) (hereinafter also referred to as "disubstituted olefin (III)") using 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane obtained by the method for producing 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane according to the first embodiment.

[0082]

[0083] A in (III) is the same as A in formulas (I) and (II), and D in (III) is the same as D in formulas (I) and (II).

[0084] The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment preferably includes an elimination reaction step of obtaining a trisubstituted ethane (II) by the method for producing a 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane of the first embodiment, and an elimination reaction step of obtaining a 1,1-disubstituted olefin represented by the following formula (III) (i.e., a disubstituted olefin (III)) by eliminating the functional group R of the trisubstituted ethane (II), as shown in the following reaction formula: The elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of at least one catalyst selected from the group consisting of an acid catalyst, a base catalyst, and an acid-base catalyst (hereinafter also referred to as an "elimination reaction catalyst").

[0085]

[0086] A in (III) is the same as A in formulas (I) and (II), and D in (III) is the same as D in formulas (I) and (II).

[0087] The term "acid-base catalyst" refers to a catalyst that is a mixture of an acid and a base.

[0088] The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and therefore can produce an anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefin in high yield without carrying out distillation.

[0089] In the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, trisubstituted ethane (II) is used as a raw material. Therefore, according to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, an anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefin can be produced without high-temperature treatment (e.g., depolymerization, etc.). Due to its reactivity, the anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefin (III) is prone to polymerization reaction with the reactants, catalysts, and additives used during synthesis and purification. This may result in a decrease in the yield of the disubstituted olefin (III). According to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, the disubstituted olefin (III) can be synthesized in an acidic atmosphere that stabilizes the disubstituted olefin (III). This allows the anionically polymerizable disubstituted olefin to be obtained in high yield. Furthermore, after the elimination reaction step, a purification method appropriate for the type of disubstituted olefin (III) can be adopted. According to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, when the disubstituted olefin (III) is a polyfunctional monomer, the formation of a crosslinked oligomer is not required. Therefore, according to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, it is possible to produce a polyfunctional monomer that has been difficult to synthesize by conventional methods. In the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, an alkoxy group is used as the leaving group of the trisubstituted olefin (I), a low-boiling carboxylic acid anhydride is used as the leaving alcohol scavenger, and a solid acid is used as the reaction catalyst, whereby the disubstituted olefin (III) is obtained by filtration and distillation of the low-boiling components. Therefore, according to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, it is possible to produce the disubstituted olefin (III) even if the disubstituted olefin (III) is a monomer that is extremely difficult to distill (e.g., a solid monomer, a polyfunctional monomer, etc.).

[0090] (1.2.1) Elimination Reaction Step In the elimination reaction step, a reaction of eliminating the functional group R from the trisubstituted ethane (II) (hereinafter also referred to as "elimination reaction") proceeds in the presence of an elimination reaction catalyst to obtain a disubstituted olefin (III).

[0091] (1.2.1.1) Catalyst for Elimination Reaction The catalyst for the elimination reaction is at least one selected from the group consisting of acid catalysts, base catalysts, and acid-base catalysts, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a catalyst that promotes the elimination reaction of the trisubstituted ethane (II).

It is preferable that the phosphate buffer solution contains at least one selected from the group consisting of monoisotridecyl phosphate, monohexadecyl phosphate, monooleyl phosphate, monotetracosyl phosphate, monophenyl phosphate, dimethyl phosphate, diethyl phosphate, dipropyl phosphate, diisopropyl phosphate, dibutyl phosphate, dihexyl phosphate, dibenzyl phosphate, didecyl phosphate, diisodecyl phosphate, didodecyl phosphate, dibutoxyethyl phosphate, di-2-ethylhexyl phosphate, diisotridecyl phosphate, dihexadecyl phosphate, dioleyl phosphate, ditetracosyl phosphate, and diphenyl phosphate.

[0094] When the elimination reaction catalyst is an acid catalyst, the amount of the acid catalyst used is not particularly limited, and is preferably 1 mol % to 30 mol %, more preferably 10 mol % to 20 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the trisubstituted ethane (II).

These base catalysts may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0096] When the elimination reaction catalyst is a base catalyst, the amount of the base catalyst used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mol % to 20 mol %, more preferably 1 mol % to 5 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the trisubstituted ethane (II).

[0097] (1.2.1.1.3) Acid-Base Catalyst Examples of the acid-base catalyst include salts of the above-mentioned acid catalysts and the above-mentioned base catalysts, such as salts of methanesulfonic acid and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, salts of p-toluenesulfonic acid and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, salts of laurylbenzenesulfonic acid and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, and salts of methanesulfonic acid and alkali metals. These acid-base catalysts may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0098] When the elimination reaction catalyst is an acid-base catalyst, the amount of the acid catalyst used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mol % to 30 mol %, more preferably 10 mol % to 20 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the tri-substituted ethane (II). The amount of the base catalyst used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mol % to 20 mol %, more preferably 1 mol % to 5 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the tri-substituted ethane (II).

[0099] (1.2.1.1.4) Preferred Aspects The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment is preferably the first aspect. In the first aspect, the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of the acid catalyst, and the acid catalyst contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, and phosphorous acid (hereinafter also referred to as the "specific compound"). This allows the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment to produce the disubstituted olefin (III) more efficiently than a configuration in which the acid catalyst does not contain the specific compound.

[0100] (1.2.1.2) Elimination Reaction The elimination reaction is carried out by charging the trisubstituted ethane (II) and the elimination reaction catalyst into a reaction vessel. The reaction vessel may be operated batchwise or continuously.

[0101] The reaction temperature is not particularly limited and may be 60° C. to 160° C. or 80° C. to 120° C. The reaction time is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the type and amount of the trisubstituted ethane (II), etc. The reaction time may be 1 hour to 12 hours.

[0102] (1.2.1.3) Alcohol Scavenger The elimination reaction step may be carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger. In other words, an alcohol scavenger may be further added to the reaction vessel to allow the elimination reaction to proceed. The elimination reaction step may be carried out in the absence of an alcohol scavenger.

[0103] The term "alcohol scavenger" refers to a substance that has the property of absorbing alcohol by forming a chemical bond or by physical adsorption. The alcohol scavenger may be either liquid or solid.

[0104] Examples of alcohol scavengers include carboxylic acid anhydrides (e.g., succinic anhydride, acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, maleic anhydride, and phthalic anhydride), crystalline zeolites (e.g., molecular sieves), and oxides (e.g., phosphorus pentoxide, calcium oxide, barium oxide, and magnesium oxide). These alcohol scavengers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0105] It is preferable that R represents the alkoxy group and the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger. This makes it possible to suppress the polymerization reaction of the disubstituted olefin (III) caused by the alcohol and to obtain the disubstituted olefin (III) in a higher reaction yield than in a configuration in which the elimination reaction step is carried out in the absence of an alcohol scavenger.

[0106] When R represents the alkoxy group and the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger, the alcohol scavenger preferably contains a carboxylic acid anhydride. As a result, in the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, the elimination reaction can be carried out in an acidic atmosphere and the polymerization reaction of the produced disubstituted olefin (III) can be more effectively suppressed than in a configuration in which the alcohol scavenger does not contain a carboxylic acid anhydride.

[0107] When R represents the alkoxy group, the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger, and the alcohol scavenger contains a carboxylic acid anhydride, the carboxylic acid anhydride preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, maleic anhydride, and succinic anhydride (hereinafter also referred to as a "specific carboxylic acid anhydride"). As a result, in the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, by-products having lower boiling points are produced than in a configuration in which the carboxylic acid anhydride does not contain the specific carboxylic acid anhydride, and these by-products can be easily removed using an evaporator or the like in the purification step.

[0108] When the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger, the amount of the alcohol scavenger used is not particularly limited, and is preferably 100 mol % to 500 mol %, more preferably 100 mol % to 200 mol %, relative to 100 mol % of the trisubstituted ethane (II).

[0109] (1.2.1.4) Solvent The elimination reaction step may be carried out in the presence of a solvent. In other words, the elimination reaction may be carried out by further adding a solvent to the reaction vessel. The elimination reaction step may be carried out in the absence of a solvent.

[0110] Examples of the solvent include aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene), ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, anisole, and tetrahydrofuran), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and acetophenone), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and n-butanol), carboxylic acids (e.g., formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid), esters (e.g., methyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and benzyl benzoate), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., n-hexane, n-octane, and cyclohexane), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., dichloromethane, trichloroethane, and chlorobenzene), nitro compounds (e.g., nitromethane and nitrobenzene), and carboxylic acid amides (e.g., N,N-dimethyl formamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc.), ureas (e.g., N,N'-dimethylimidazolidone, and N,N,N,N-tetramethylurea, etc.), sulfones (e.g., dimethyl sulfone, and tetramethylene sulfone, etc.), sulfoxides (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, and diphenyl sulfoxide, etc.), lactones (e.g., γ-butyrolactone, and ε-caprolactone, etc.), polyethers (e.g., triglyme (triethylene glycol dimethyl ether), tetraglyme (tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether), and 18-crown-6, etc.), nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile, and benzonitrile, etc.), and carbonates (e.g., dimethyl carbonate, and ethylene carbonate, etc.). These solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0111] When the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of a solvent, the amount of the solvent used is not particularly limited, and is preferably 100 parts by mass to 1,000 parts by mass, more preferably 100 parts by mass to 200 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the trisubstituted ethane (II).

[0112] (1.2.1.5) 1,1-Disubstituted Olefins By carrying out the elimination reaction step, disubstituted olefins (III) are obtained.

[0113] The disubstituted olefin (III) may, for example, be a cyanoacrylate ester represented by the following formula (III-1):

[0114]

[0115] In formula (III-1), p, L 1 , and R 7 is as described above in formula (I-1).

[0116] The disubstituted olefin (III) is suitable for use in a variety of applications (for example, adhesives, coatings, sealants, etc.).

[0117] (1.2.2) Separation Step The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment may include a separation step. When a solid catalyst is used, in the separation step, the reaction solution after the elimination reaction step is filtered. The separation step is carried out after the elimination reaction step is carried out. As a result, the elimination reaction catalyst is separated from the reaction solution, and the target disubstituted olefin (III) can be recovered. When the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of a solid (insoluble) alcohol scavenger, the water scavenger as well as the elimination reaction catalyst are separated from the reaction solution by filtration. The filtration method is not particularly limited, and any known method may be used.

[0118] When the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of a solvent, the solvent may be distilled off from the reaction solution after filtration in the separation step. The boiling point of impurities (e.g., the elimination alcohol, the carboxylic acid ester produced from the carboxylic acid anhydride, and the carboxylic acid) contained in the reaction solution after the elimination reaction step is close to the boiling point of the solvent. This separates impurities from the reaction solution in addition to the solvent. As a result, a reaction solution with a higher yield of disubstituted olefin (III) can be obtained. Examples of distillation methods include evaporators, simple distillation, and thin-film distillation. The temperature during distillation may be 40°C to 120°C.

[0119] According to the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, a disubstituted olefin (III) can be produced according to the following reaction formula:

[0120]

[0121] (2) Second Embodiment A method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure includes an elimination reaction step of eliminating the functional group R from 1,1,2-trisubstituted ethane represented by formula (II) (i.e., trisubstituted ethane (II)) to obtain a 1,1-disubstituted olefin represented by formula (III) (i.e., disubstituted olefin (III)), as shown in the following reaction formula: The elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of at least one catalyst selected from the group consisting of an acid catalyst, a base catalyst, and an acid-base catalyst.

[0122]

[0123] In formula (II) and formula (III), A and D are each independently CN, CO 2 R 1 , C.O.R. 1 , CON(R 1 ) 2 , S.O. 2 R 1 , S.O. 3 R 1 , COPO (OR 1 ) 2 , COP(OR 1 ) 2 , and NO 2 R represents one selected from the group consisting of 1 is a linear or branched saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 20 Alkyl, C 1 -C 20 Alkyl halides, C 4 -C 20 Alkylsilane, C 1 -C 20 Acetoxysilane, C 2 -C 20 Alkoxyalkyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkenyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkynyl, C 2 -C 10 Alkylene, C 3 -C 20 Cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, C 3 -C 20In formulas (II) and (III), R represents a linear, branched, or alicyclic saturated or unsaturated C 1 -C 20 It represents an alkoxy group, a carboxy group, a hydroxy group, a fluoroalkylsulfone group, a fluorosulfone group, an alkylsulfone group, an arylsulfone group, a halogen atom, a phenoxy group, or a selenoxy group.

[0124] The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the second embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and therefore exhibits the same effects as the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment.

[0125] The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the second embodiment is the same as the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment, except that the trisubstituted ethane (II) may not be one produced by the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the first embodiment.

[0126] The method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the second embodiment is preferably the second aspect. In the second aspect, the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of the acid catalyst, and the acid catalyst contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, and phosphorous acid (hereinafter also referred to as the "specific compound"). As a result, the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the second embodiment can produce the disubstituted olefin (III) more efficiently than a configuration in which the acid catalyst does not contain the specific compound.

[0127] It is preferable that R represents the alkoxy group and the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger. This makes it possible to suppress the polymerization reaction of the disubstituted olefin (III) caused by the alcohol and obtain the disubstituted olefin (III) in a higher reaction yield than in a configuration in which the elimination reaction step is carried out in the absence of an alcohol scavenger.

[0128] When R represents the alkoxy group and the elimination reaction step is carried out in the presence of an alcohol scavenger, the alcohol scavenger preferably contains a carboxylic acid anhydride. As a result, in the method for producing a 1,1-disubstituted olefin of the second embodiment, the elimination reaction can be carried out in an acidic atmosphere and the polymerization reaction of the produced disubstituted olefin (III) can be more effectively suppressed than in a configuration in which the alcohol scavenger does not contain a carboxylic acid anhydride.
