Abstract

INVENTORS: Richard Leshin, Penelope R. Pappas and Dane K. Parker INVENTION: PREPARATION OF 2-(3-METHYLPIPERIDINOTHIO)-BENZOTHIAZOLE AND 2-(4-METHYLPIPERIDINOTHIO)-BENZOTHIAZOLE

Abstract of the Disclosure This invention relates to an improved procsss for preparing 2-(3-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole and 2-(4-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole wherein the order of addition of the reactants comprises slurrying benzothiazolyl disulfide in water, adding an oxidizing agent and effecting a reaction by the addition of an amine or an amine salt solution.

Description

lO~S;~;~O

me present invention relates to 2-(3-methyl-piperidinothio)-benzothiazole and 2-(4-methylpiperidinothio) -benzothiazole and to a process for their preparation in water. More particularly this invention relates to the order of addition of the reactants when the reaction is carried out in water in the absence of organic solvents.
These sulfenamides are known to be good vulcani-zation accelerators for the curing of natural and synthetic rubber. mese materials do not exhibit early vulcanization, known as scorch, and accomplish vulcanization quickly once the vulcanization temperature has been reached.
Aqueous preparations of these sulfenamides have been reported in Canadian Patent No. 890,433 which discusses the merits of these compounds as accelerators and describes their preparation from sodium mercaptobenzothiazole in water, and from other benzothiazole-containing precursors in organic solvents. Preparation of these materials from benzothiazolyl disulfide in water is not described. Other examples of aqueous preparations of sulfenamides can be found in U.S. Patents 2~045,888; 3,178,428 and 3,144,652.
Attempts to prepare these materials using the usual prior art order of addition of oxidation of an aqueous benzothia-solyl disulfide-amine mixture, where the amine is 3-methyl-piperidine or 4-methylpiperidine~ yielded a product of poor form and poor purity.
It is therefore an ob~ect of the present invention to provide an improved process for the production of 2-(3-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole and 2-(4-methylpiperi-dinothio)-benzothiazole in a completely aqueous medium.
Other ob~ects will become apparent to those skilled in this -1- .

10~i~3'~0 art as the description proceeds.
It has now unexpectedly been discovered that changing the order of addition of reactants according to the present invention allows preparation of 2-(3-methylpiperi-dinothio)-benzothiazole and 2-(4-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole of good form, purity and yield. me sulfen-amides are prepared in an aqueous reaction medium by adding the amine to an aqueous benzothiazolyl disulfide and bleach mixture as contrasted to the prior art procedure of adding bleach to a mixture of amine and benzothiazolyl disulfide.
Ihe invention comprises (a) placing the benzothiazolyl disulfide in water to form a slurry, (b) adding bleach to the slurry, (c) adding an amine selected from the group consisting of 3-methylpiperidine and 4-methylpiperidine, and (d) allowing the mixture to react to obtain the sulfenamide.
me term "bleach" as used throughout the specifi-cation and claims is intended to denote oxidizing agentswhich permit the reaction to occur. The most preferred oxidizing agent is sodium hypochlorite, commonly referred to as bleach.
The invention as described uses a methylpiperidine pr~cursor. These methylpiperidines may be obtained by the catalytic reduction of the corresponding picolinium salts in aqueous acidic medium. Aqueous solutions of these methyl-piperidinium salts derived from such catalytic hydrogena-tions are adaptable for use in the present invention without neutralization, isolation or purification of the amine.

lU~;~3'~0 When utilizing these salts, the method of the present invention comprises (a) placing benzothiazolyl disulfide in water to form a slurry, (b) adding bleach to the slurry, (c) adding a suitable base such as aqueous sodium hydroxide, (d) adding a salt solution selected from the group consisting of sulfate, acetate and chloride salts of 3-methylpiperidine and 4-methylpiperidine,such as 4-methyl-piperidinium acetate and 3-methylpiperidinium sulfate, and (e) allowing the mixture to react.
The amine salts are thus neutralized in situ during the reaction. When desired, the amine salt solution can be preneutralized using a basic material to give a crude aqueous amine which can be used in the process in place of pure amine.
Representative examples of amine salts useful in the present invention are 3-methylpiperidinium sulfate, 4-methylpiperidinium acetate, 4-methylpiperidinium chloride and 3-methylpiperidinium phosphate.
Representative examples of suitable bases useful in the practice of the present invention are aqueous sodium hydroxide, aqueous potassium hydroxide, aqueous sodium car-bonate, aqueous potassium carbonate and aqueous sodium bi-carbonate.
The process of the present invention is effective when the bleach~ benzothiazolyl disulfide, an amine or amine salt and sodium hydroxide are present in stoichiometric amounts. Excess amounts of bleach from 0 to 45 percent and 10~53'~0 of amine from 0 to 35 percent can be used. While higher amounts of excess amine show slightly improved purity, the improvement is negligible at amine excesses above 45 percent.
Preferred proportions of reactants based on benzothiazolyl disulfide are from 25 to 35 percent molar excess of bleach and from 15 to 25 percent molar excess of amine or amine salt and sodium hydroxide. Such excesses of reactants pro-duce 2-(3-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole and 2-(4-methylpiperidinothio)-benzothiazole of excellent purity and in higher yields than if stoichiometric amounts of reactants are used~
me process is generally carried out by adding bleach to an aqueous slurry of benzothiazolyl disulfide in a reaction chamber equipped with good agitation. me amine or amine salt and sodium hydroxide is then added at a moder-ate rate. me temperature is preferably maintained in a range of about 20 C. to about 45 C. during the addition, although temperatures from about 15 C. to about 90 C. can be used. The mixture is stirred briefly and cooled if necessaryO The product solidifies in the aqueous mixture when the aqueous mlxture is below the melting point of the solid. me product is then separated~ water washed and dried to complete the process.
me invention and its improvements over the art are more completely described with reference to the examples belcw in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Example 1 shows the preparation of sulfenamide using the prior art bleach addition method. Example 2 demonstrates the process of the present invention. Example lO~S3'~0 3 illustrates the use of an amine salt solution in the process of the present invention. All examples used tech-nical grade (98.6%) benzothiazolyl disulfide.
,ExamPle 1 A 250 milliliter round-bottom flask was charged with 17.2 grams (.05 mole) of benzothiazolyl disulfide, 80 milliliters of water and 11.9 grams (.12 mole) of 3-methyl-piperidine. me mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature. A slimy, greenish emulsion resulted. To the emulsion was added 28.5 milliliters (.065 mole) of 2.28M
bleach dropwise over a 5 minute period. During the addition the temperature rose from 21 C. to 38.50 C. The emulsion was stirred for about 10 minutes between 380 C. and 34 C., during which time the product solidified in irregular greenish-brown chunks. After cooling to 240 C. the mixture was filtered. The product was water washed and dried at 40 C. me product was obtained in 97.3 percent yield and had a melting point between 55.50 c. and 590 c. Purity by reduction with hydrogen sulfide followed by titration of the amine with dilute acid was 90.2 percent.
ExamPle 2 A 250 milliliter round-bottom flask was charged with 17.2 grams (.05 mole) of benzothiazolyl disulfide, 80 milliliters of water~ and 28.5 milliliters (.065 mole) of
2.28M bleach. The mixture was stirred, forming a cream colored slurry after approximately 10 minutes. To this slurry was added 11.9 grams (.12 mole) 3-methylpiperidine dropwise over a 5 minute period. During the addition the temperature rose to 35 C. The emulsion was allowed to stir for about 10 minutes at a temperature between 380 C. and 10~53'~0 35 C. The mixture was cooled to 240 C. solidifying the product as small, light tan granules of uniform size. The solids were filtered, washed with water and dried at ~oo C.
The product was obtained in 98.4 percent yield, having a melting point between 57.5O C. and 61 C. A purity of 96.9 percent was obtained using the method described in Example 1.
Exam~le ~
A 250 milliliter round-bottom flask was charged with 8.6 grams (.025 mole) of benzothiazolyl disulfide, 40 milliliters of water and 13.6 milliliters (.0325 mole) of 2.39M bleach. A solution of 2.4 grams (.o6 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 10 milliliters of water was added. me mixture was cooled slightly to maintain the temperature at about 250 C. To this mixture was added 20.4 grams (.06 mole) of an aqueous solution of 4-methylpiperidinium sulfate (29.2 percent theoretical amine content) dropwise over a 2 minute period while the mixture was agitating. ~uring addition the temperature rose from 21 C. to 29.50 C. me mixture was stirred for approximately 15 minutes at 280 C. to 29 C.
during which time the product solidified as tan granules.
The granules were water washed and dried at 40 C. me product was obtained in 96.6 percent yield and had a melting point between 48.5 and 50 C. Using the method described in Example 1~ a purity of 94.5 percent was obtained.
me results of Examples 1-3 are s D arized in Table I. me column titled "Method of Addition" refers to the material added last to a mixture of benzothiazolyl di-sulfide and other reactants. Thus~ Example 1 is seen to be an illustration of prior art procedures and Examples 2 and
3 are illustrations of the present invention.

When the process of the prior art is used in aqueous solu-tion, a preliminary reaction between the disulfide and amine occurs in the water giving a curd-like mixture thought to be sulfenamide and amine-mercaptobenzothiazole salts. Subse-quent bleach oxidation of this mixture as described in Example 1 results in a sulfenamide of lower purity and poor form. me process of the present invention avoids the pre-reaction. A clean oxidation to the sulfenamide results when the amine is added to the disulfide in the presence of aqueous bleach as described and exemplified in Example 2.
The amine salt solution addition described in Example 3 may also be run using preneutralized amine salt solution. me preneutralization gives a crude solution of aqueous amine which can then be used in the process exem-plified in Example 2 in place of pure amine. The reaction is now the same as the process using pure amine, except water is present in the reagent amine.
While certain representative embodiments and details have been shown for the purpose of illustrating the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in this art 10~i53'~0 that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
