The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of tetraisopropyl
alcohol-based
ethylenediamine, and particularly relates to a catalyst for preparing tetraisopropyl
alcohol-based
ethylenediamine as well as a preparation method and application of the catalyst. The catalyst is formed by chelating two amine
nitrogen atoms with aluminum ions by taking an Al < 3 + > center as
tetra-coordination and 1, 1-dimethoxytrimethylamine as a ligand, and has a structure as shown in a formula I in the specification. The two-component composite catalyst is formed on the basis of coordination and
chelation of the organic
metal compound and the organic amine, the organic
metal compound can promote the antistatic performance of the tetraisopropyl
alcohol ethylenediamine, and the organic amine can promote the compatibility of the tetraisopropyl alcohol ethylenediamine and a
high polymer material, so that the antistatic property of the tetraisopropyl alcohol ethylenediamine is improved. Compared with a pure organic amine catalyst, the composite catalyst has the advantages of high reaction activity,
side reaction inhibition, improvement of the conversion rate and selectivity of tetraisopropanolethylenediamine, no need of separation from the product, promotion of the product, reduction of the
impurity separation problem in the subsequent process, reduction of the reaction pressure, low
equipment requirement and reduction of the equipment investment.
