Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von 3>4,6-TrichlorphthalimidProcess for the preparation of 3> 4,6-trichlorophthalimide

Diese Erfindung betrifft ein neues Verfahren zur Herstellung von 3 4, 6-Trichlorphthalimid 3,4,6-Trichlorphthalimid läßt sich durch Umsetzung von Trichlorphthalsäure oder 3,4,6-Trichlorphthalsäureanhydrid mit konzentrierter wäßriger Ammoniaklösung und anschließendes Erhitzes des zur Trockene eingedampften Reaktionsproduktes auf 240 C darstellen. Dieses aus Ber. 34, 2107 (1901) bekannte Verfahren erfordert jedoch bereits für die Darstellung des Ausgangsmaterials mehrere umständliche Reaktionsstufen und erbringt nur geringe Ausbeuten.This invention relates to a new method of making 3 4,6-trichlorophthalimide 3,4,6-trichlorophthalimide can be obtained by reacting trichlorophthalic acid or 3,4,6-trichlorophthalic anhydride with concentrated aqueous ammonia solution and then heating the reaction product evaporated to dryness 240 C. This from Ber. 34, 2107 (1901) requires known methods several cumbersome reaction stages for the preparation of the starting material and only gives low yields.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß sich 3,4,6-Trichlorphthalimid erheblich vorteilhafter herstellen läßt, wenn man Ester der 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorcyclohexadien-1,2-dicarbonsäure mit basischen Mitteln bei Temperaturen bis 2000C behandelt und die dabei erhaltenen Ester der 3,4,6-Trichlorphthalsäure bei Temperaturen von 100 bis 2000C mit Stoffen umsetzt, die unter den Reaktionsbedingungen Ammoniak abspalten.It has now been found that 3,4,6-trichlorophthalimide changes significantly Can be produced more advantageously if one esters of 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid treated with basic agents at temperatures up to 2000C and the resulting Esters of 3,4,6-trichlorophthalic acid at temperatures from 100 to 2000C with substances converts, which split off ammonia under the reaction conditions.

Überraschenderweise wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eine Bildung von Nebenprodukten oder von Isomeren nicht beobachtet.Surprisingly, in the method according to the invention, a Formation of by-products or of isomers not observed.

Bei den als Ausgangsstoffen zu verwendenden Estern der 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorcyclohexadien-1,2-dicarbonsäure handelt es sich vorzugsweise um die Dialkylester der Dicarbonsäure, in denen der Alkylrest 1 bis 6 C-Atomen enthalten kann. Vorteilhaft verwendet man den Dimethylester. Diese Ester sind auf an sich bekannte Weise durch Veresterung der 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorcyclohexadien-1,2-dicarbonsäure mit den entsprechenden Alkanolen herstellbar. Die 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorcyclohexadien-1,2-dicarbonsäuren selbst ist durch partielle elektrochemische Reduktion der Tetrachlorphthalsäure oder deren Anhydrid in guter Ausbeute erhältlich. Diese Säure liegt vermutlich in Form der 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorcyclohexadien -(3,5)-dicarbonsäure-(1,2) vor. Es ist jedoch nicht auszuschließen, daß auch Isomere, bei denen die beiden Doppelbindungen in anderen Positionen angeordnet sind, vorliegen. Unabhängig von der Struktur des Ausgangsmaterials wird beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren jedoch stets ein einheitliches Endprodukt gebildet.In the case of the esters of 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid to be used as starting materials it is preferably the dialkyl esters of dicarboxylic acid in which the Alkyl radical can contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The dimethyl ester is advantageously used. These esters are known per se by esterifying 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid can be prepared with the corresponding alkanols. The 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexadiene-1,2-dicarboxylic acids itself is through partial electrochemical reduction of the tetrachlorophthalic acid or their anhydride obtainable in good yield. This acid is believed to be in Form of 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexadiene - (3,5) -dicarboxylic acid- (1,2) before. However, it cannot be ruled out that isomers in which the two Double bonds are arranged in other positions, are present. Independent of the structure of the starting material is, however, in the process according to the invention a uniform end product is always formed.

Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden die Ester mit basischen Mitteln bei Temperaturen bis 2000C behandelt. Dabei bilden sich die noch nicht beschriebenen Ester der 3,4,6-Trichlorphthalsäure. Als basische Mittel sind z.B. geeignet: die Hydroxide und Carbonate der Alkalimetalle, wie Natrium-, Kalium- oder Lithiumhydroxid, Natriumcarbonat, ferner Calciumhydroxid, Ammoniak, Ammoniumhydroxid, Natriummethylat und Natriumäthylat.

In the process, those not yet described are formed Esters of 3,4,6-trichlorophthalic acid. Suitable basic agents are, for example: the Hydroxides and carbonates of alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium or lithium hydroxide, Sodium carbonate, also calcium hydroxide, ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, sodium methylate and sodium ethylate. Amines such as mono-, di- and Trialkylamines with alkyl groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, ethylenediamine and arylamines, such as aniline, N-methylaniline and also heterocyclic amines such as pyridine, morpholine, Piperidine, indil and quinoline are suitable.
