Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Tetrahydrofuran Gegenstand des Pate4ts 711 709 ist ,ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Tetrahydro- furan, bei dem man i, 4-Butylenglykol mit Wasser unter Druck in Gegenwart wasser- abspaltender Katalysatoren auf Temperaturen über 25o° in Anwesenheit der flüssigen Phase erhitzt. Es wurde raun gefunden, daß sich Tetrahy- drofuran in ebenso vorteilhafter Weise her- stellen lä.ßt, weinen man i, 4-Butylenglykol mit Wasser unter -Druck in Gegenwart von wasserabspaltend wirkenden Katalysatoren auf Temperaturen zwischen Zoo und 250° in Anwesenheit der flüssigen Phase erhitzt. Be- reits bei 2oo° und wenig darüber kann man so unter im übrigen grundsätzlich gleichen Umsetzungsbedingungen die Wasserabspal- tung mit mehr als go%iger Ausbeute durch- führen. Besonders gut gelingt die Umsetzung bei tieferer Temperatur als 25o° unter Verwen- dung von Säuren oder unter den Um- setzungsbedingungen sauren Verbindungen als Katalysatoren oder auch Mischungen, meh- rerer derartiger Stoffe. Die in denn nachstehenden teispiel ange- gebenen Teile sind Gewichtsteile. Bleispiel i Man versetzt 27oo Teile einer 35%igen wäßrigen, rohen i, 4-Butylenglykollösung, wie sie bei der Kondensation von Formalde- hyd und Aoetylen in Gegenwart von Kupfer- acetylid und anschließender Hydrierung an- fällt, mit 6 bis 8 Teilen Phosphorsäure. Die Mischung wird unter einen Druck von i 2o Atmosphären gesetzt, auf etwa 230' vorge- heizt und mit einer .Geschwindigkeit von o,5 1 Lösung in der Stunde auf 1 1 Um- setzungsraum bei 235° durch ein wärmeiso- liertes Rohr geleitet. Da die Wasserabspal- tung in flüssiger Phase schwach exotherm ist, ist eine Heizung nicht erforderlich. Das das Umsetzungsgefäß verlassende Gemisch wird entspannt und in einer Destillierkolonne in Wasser und Tetrahydrofuran zerlegt. Im Sumpfe der Destillierkolonne laufen das ur- sprünglich im Gemisch enthaltene und das bei der Umsetzung entstandene Wasser fort- laufend ab, während am Kopfe der D@estillier- kolonne ein aus 96 Gewichtsprozent Tetrahy- drofuran und 4. Gewichtsprozent Wasser be- s::ehendes Gemisch abzieht. Dieses Gemisch kann durch Rühren m_t hlatriumchlorid und anschließende Behandlung mit Kaliumhydr- oxyd in wasserfreies, reines Tetrahydrafuran vom Siedepunkt 6,1,5° übergeführt werden. Man !erhält so 726 Teile reines Tetrahydro- furan. Ein ähnliches Ergebnis erzielt man unter sonst gleichen Bedingungen, wenn man an Stelle, dqex,,.Phosphorsäure q. Teile Ammonium- chlQ?id : od'Nr Aluminiumsulfat zusetzt. Beispiel 2 Man ,ersetzt 5q.o Teile einer wäßrigen 35%igen i, 4-Butylenglykollösung mit 2 Tei- len Ammoniurnchlorid und erhitzt in einem eisernen Hochdruckgefäß von 21 Inhalt 12 Stunden lang auf 23o'. Dabei stellt sich ,ein Druck von etwa 65 Atmosphären ein. Nach dem Erkalten filtriert man das Um- setzungsgemisch und destilliert. Man erhält 142 Teile reines Tetrahydrofuran. Process for the production of tetrahydrofuran The subject of patent 71 1 709 is a Process for the production of tetrahydro- furan, in which one i, 4-butylene glycol with Water under pressure in the presence of eliminating catalysts to temperatures over 25o ° in the presence of the liquid phase heated. It was found that Tetrahy- drofuran in an equally advantageous way leaves, weep i, 4-butylene glycol with water under pressure in the presence of dehydrating catalysts to temperatures between zoo and 250 ° in Heated presence of the liquid phase. Loading you can already at 2oo ° and a little above it so under otherwise basically the same Implementation conditions the water release with more than a% yield. to lead. The implementation is particularly successful temperature lower than 25o ° when using acid or under the environment Settlement conditions of acidic compounds as catalysts or mixtures, several rer such substances. The examples given below given parts are parts by weight. Lead game i 27oo parts of a 35% strength are added aqueous, crude i, 4-butylene glycol solution, such as in the condensation of formaldehyde hyd and aoetylene in the presence of copper acetylide and subsequent hydrogenation falls, with 6 to 8 parts of phosphoric acid. the Mixture is under a pressure of i 2o Atmospheres set at about 230 ' heats and with a .speed of 0.5 1 solution per hour to 1 1 um- settlement space at 235 ° due to a thermal piped pipe. Since the water chipping slightly exothermic in the liquid phase heating is not required. That the mixture leaving the reaction vessel is relaxed and in a distillation column decomposed into water and tetrahydrofuran. in the Bottoms of the distillation column run the primeval originally contained in the mixture and that water created during implementation while the D @estillier- column made of 96 percent by weight of tetrahy- drofuran and 4th percent by weight of water s :: drawing off the mixture. This mixture can be stirred with sodium chloride and subsequent treatment with potassium hydride oxide in anhydrous, pure tetrahydrofuran be converted from the boiling point 6.1.5 °. 726 parts of pure tetrahydro- furan. A similar result can be achieved under otherwise same conditions if one at Digit, dqex ,,. Phosphoric acid q. Parts ammonium chlQ? id: od'Nr aluminum sulfate added. Example 2 One replaces 5q.o parts of an aqueous 35% i, 4-butylene glycol solution with 2 parts len ammonium chloride and heated in one iron high pressure vessel of 21 contents At 23o 'for 12 hours. It arises , a pressure of about 65 atmospheres. After cooling down, filter the surrounding mixed and distilled. You get 142 parts of pure tetrahydrofuran.
