particularly described in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to diamines, their production and their use in the 5 production of polyamides.
According to the invention, which is the subject of our parent British Patent Application No 16146/78 (Serial No 1,604,696), there is provided a process for producing a dinitrile having the following general formula R 1 R 3 H I I I NC-C-C-C-CN (I) 10 I I I R 2 R 4 Rs wherein each of R' and R 2, which are the same or different, is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, or R' and R 2 together represent a divalent aliphatic radical, R 3 is an aliphatic, aromatic or cycloaliphatic radical, R 4 is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, and R 5 is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic radical, and where two of R 3, R 4 and Rs together may 15 represent a divalent aliphatic radical forming with the carbon atom(s) to which it is bound a closed ring; which process comprises reacting a first nitrile having the following general formula:
R' H-C-CN (II) R 2 wherein RI and R 2 are as defined above, with an alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile 20 having the following general formula:
R 3-C=C-CN (III) { I R 4 R 5 wherein R 3, R 4 and R 5 are as defined above That invention permits various substituted dinitriles to be obtained with good yields and selectivity.
The nitriles of formula II are, certainly when R' or R 2 is other than a hydrogen 25 atom, saturated alpha, beta-nitriles, and for the sake of convenience all the nitriles of formula II will sometimes hereafter be referred to as "alpha, betasaturated nitriles", to distinguish them from the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitriles of formula III.
The dinitrile of formula I derives from the addition of the alpha, betasaturated nitrile of formula II to the double bond of the alpha-beta unsaturated nitrile of formula III.
Examples of suitable alpha, beta-saturated nitriles are: acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, isobutylronitrile, valeronitrile and, in general, the 5 nitriles of other saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched, monocarboxylic acids, cyclohexanecarbonitrile, cyclopentanecarbonitrile, cyclohexylacetonitrile, cyclopropanecarbonitrile, cyclopentylacetonitrile, 3cyclopentylpropionitrile, and 2 ' methylcyclopent 1 ' ylacetonitrile.
Examples of suitable alpha, beta-unsaturated nitriles are: 3,3 10 dimethylacrylonitrile, 3,3 diethylacrylonitrile, 2,3,3 trimethylacrylonitrile, 1 cyclohex 1 enecarbonitrile, I cyclopent I enecarbonitrile, 3 methylcinnamonitrile, 2,3 dimethylcinnamonitrile, 3,7 dimethylocta 2,6dienenitrile ("geranonitrile"), and cyclogeranonitrile.
Thus, by reacting various alpha, beta-saturated nitriles with various alpha, 15 beta-unsaturated nitriles, there can be obtained a variety of dinitriles which are useful, particularly after their hydrogenation to the corresponding diamines, in the synthesis of amorphous polyamides.
Examples of dinitriles which can be obtained by the process according to the invention of our parent Application No 16146/78 (Serial No 1,604,696), are: 20 CH j 3 CH CH CH 2 CH i 3 i 3 i/ NC CH CN, NC CH C -CH 2 CN 2 ' I CH 3 CH 3 CH2 CN CH C 2 c T C 2 c K 7 HCH 2 CH 3 CH 2 CH 3 CH CH 013 OH OH K 11 Y C= CH-( O H 2)2 -O CH ON and CH 3 CH 2 CN CH 3 NC H CH 2C CH 2 CN CH 3 Of these five compounds, only the last is known from the literature 25 The reaction for producing the dinitriles, according to the invention of our parent Application No 16146/78 (Serial No 1,604,696), is preferably effected by contacting the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile with a strong base, whereafter there is added to the resulting mixture the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile A few minutes after the addition of the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile, the reaction may be 30 stopped by the addition of ammonium chloride The dinitrile produced may be separated according to a conventional procedure; for example, after having evaporated off the solvent, water may be added and the extraction then effected by 1,604,697 means of a water-immiscible solvent The dinitrile which has been extracted in this way may possibly be purified by distillation under reduced pressures.
As regards the stoichiometry of the reaction, the alpha, beta-saturated and a,/3-unsaturated nitriles may, if desired, be used in equimolar amounts The two reactants can be used as such or diluted by an inert solvent such as diethyl ether, 5 tetrahydrofuran or a hydrocarbonaceous solvent The strong bases which can be used are preferably the amides of alkali metals, such as sodamide, potassium amide or lithium amide; the hydrides of alkali metals or of alkaline earth metals, such as sodium hydride, lithium hydride, potassium hydride and calcium hydride; and metal alkyls such as lithium n-butyl and lithium isopropyl 10 The strong bases listed above desirably are in an at least equimolar amount relative to each of the alpha, beta-saturated nitriles, and the a 4 punsaturated nitriles and thus, as a general rule, they are within the range of from i to 5 moles of base per mole of saturated nitrile, preferably from 1 to 1 8 moles per mole of saturated nitrile It is possible, obviously, to adopt a ratio below the 1:1 molar ratio 15 but this can result in not only a lower yield but also a fall in selectivity caused by the formation of undesirable products.
When strong bases are used they can be preformed or formed "in situ"; for example, sodamide can be obtained by introducing elemental sodium in ammonia in the presence of an appropriate catalyst 20 It is advisable to use a solvent which is capable of dissolving at least in part, any strong base present For example, for the amides of alkali metals, it is preferable that ammonia be used, whereas for the lithium alkyls it is preferred that diethyl ether, hexane or tetrahydrofuran be used Understandably it is not appropriate to use, as the solvent, a substance which would interfere with the basic 25 substance, such as an acid or ester.
The reaction proceeds rapidly, even at temperatures below 00 C, so that there is no need to raise the temperature in order to increase the reaction rate The reaction generally takes place in the range from -800 C to + 700 C, the range from -500 C to -100 C being preferred In the presence of the strong base, the reaction 30 progresses through three discrete stages.
In the first stage of the preferred embodiment indicated above, the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile is contacted with the strong base, to form an anion of the cr,saturated nitrile.
In the second stage, there is added to the resulting mixture the alpha, beta 35 unsaturated nitrile, thus enabling the anion of the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile (formed in the first stage), to react with and be added to the double bond of the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile.
The third stage involves stopping the reaction with an acid, or with a salt of a strong acid and a weak base, preferably ammonium chloride, which neutralizes the 40 anion and produces the desired dinitrile For convenience, reference will hereafter be made to the case in which ammonium chloride is used, but it will be appreciated that what is stated in respect of ammonium chloride also applies to the acid or to the salt of the strong acid and weak base.
When using a strong base, the reaction can be regarded as a sequence of three 45 orderly subsequential stages, and thus the order for the addition of the nitriles is fixed Thus, conveniently, the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile is introduced into the reactor, and, after reaction of that nitrile with the base, the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile is poured into the reaction mixture As regards the reaction times, the first stage, i e the ionization of the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile, usually takes from 10 50 minutes to 100 minutes, and more frequently it takes from 20 minutes to 40 minutes.
The second stage, i e the reaction of anion of the alpha, beta-saturated nitrile with the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile, requires preferably, between the completion of the addition of the alpha, beta-unsaturated nitrile and the reaction 55 with ammonium chloride, a time of from 1 minute to 60 minutes, more preferably from 3 minutes to 10 minutes.
Ammonium chloride is generally to be used in a molar quantity equal to or greater than that of the strong base, preferably in a molar ratio of ammonium chloride to strong base of 1:1 to 5:1 Usually, it is sufficient to use from 1 1 to 2 60 moles of ammonium chloride per mole of base used.
Ammonium chloride may be poured cautiously into the reaction mixture: as an alternative, it is preferred to siphon the reaction mixture into an externally cooled vessel which contains ammonium chloride: the latter can be solid, or I 1,604,697 dissolved or slurried in an inert solvent, for example dissolved in water or slurried in diethyl ether.
The reaction is largely unaffected by pressure therefore it can be performed either at atmospheric pressure or at a greater pressure.
The present invention relates to the use of 1,5-dinitriles in the production of 5 1,5-diamines Thus, the present invention provides a process for producing a diamine having the following general formula:

Diamines are useful in the production of polyamides, and there are many patents and publications which relate to the synthesis of transparent polyamides A 15 principal process for producing such polymers is the polycondensation of a particular class of aliphatic diamines, in fact the diamines of which the main chain is substituted by one or more alkyl groups The polyamides obtained therefrom generally show a very low crystallinity and very often they are wholly amorphous, thus they are transparent This phenomenon is an outcome of the steric hindrance 20 caused by the presence of the alkyls.
The substituted aliphatic diamines which are best known from the literature are: 2,2,4-trimethyl and 2,4,4-trimethyl hexamethylenediamine which may be derived from isophorone; 3 aminomethyl 3,5,5 trimethylcyclohexylamine which may also be derived from isophorone; a mixture of diamines based on 25 trimers of cyclopentadiene; and 2,2-dimethyl pentadiamine These diamines, however, cannot be obtained in a convenient and cheap manner; in fact, their production involves a series of reactions which sometimes use toxic reagents such as hydrogen cyanide.
When the process according to the present invention for producing a diamine 30 is effected in the presence of a catalyst, the catalyst is preferably palladium, platinum, rhodium or ruthenium, which can be used in the pure state or in the state of an oxide and otherwise, and which may be unsupported or may be deposited on an inert supporting member such as activated carbon or alumina Other suitable catalysts can be other metals of Group VIII of the Periodic Table, such as nickel, 35 Raney nickel, cobalt, and Raney cobalt.
The working conditions are generally selected as a function of any catalyst which is adopted In the case in which the catalyst is a noble metal, there is preferably used as the solvent an aliphatic carboxylic acid such as acetic acid or propionic acid, acetic acid being, however, preferred 40 There can be used other solvents, such as, in the case of rhodium, an ammoniacal solution.
The temperature at which the reduction is carried out is generally, but not necessarily, in the range from 10 C to 150 C, room temperature being preferred.
The reduction, moreover, can be conducted under a wide range of pressures of 45 hydrogen, from values near atmospheric pressure to 300 atmospheres, preferably from 30 to 150 atmospheres When the catalyst employed is a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table such as Raney cobalt, or Raney nickel, the presence of a solvent is not essential, although it is preferred to work with a diluent such as ethanol or dioxan in variable proportions It is preferred to work in the presence of 50 ammonia, so as to minimize the formation of secondary and tertiary amines The quantity of ammonia to be used is preferably from 5 to 20 moles per mole of dinitrile The reduction is preferably carried out at a temperature of from 10 C to 1,604,697 C, more preferably from 60 to 150 O C, and under a hydrogen pressure of from I to 700 atmospheres, more preferably from 120 to 450 atmospheres.
The hydrogenation of compound (I) may alternatively be carried out without any catalyst, for example when using sodium and alcohol, or diborane The resulting diamines having the general formula IV can be used with advantage not 5 only for the synthesis of polyamides, on the properties of which a discussion will be made hereinafter, but also as stabilizers or anti-oxidants for lubricant oils, as agents for treating polyepoxides, and as intermediates for the synthesis of the corresponding isocyanates.
A second divisional application No 8010981 (Serial No 1,604,698) of the 10 parent Application No 16146/78 (Serial No 1,604,696) provides a process for producing an amorphous polyamide, which is transparent, by polycondensing a diamine of the formula IV above with a dicarboxylic aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic acid or a derivative of the same, such as a salt, ester or halide (e g chloride The use of a diamine produced by the present invention in the production 15 of such a polyamide constitutes a further aspect of the present invention.
For the synthesis of these novel polaymides, conventional polycondensation techniques can be adopted It is possible, for example, to heat together the diamine and the diacid, as such or in the form of salts, with water or in an anhydrous environment, with no oxygen being present, and at temperatures and pressures 20 which are preferably high, and to complete the polycondensation by heating, for example, in vacuum to dispel the water produced As a modification, a salt can be heated in an inert solvent such as m-cresol In order that the molecular weight of the polymer may be limited, a slight excess of the diamine or the diacid can be employed, or there can be added a reagent capable of forming a monofunctional 25 amide bond, such as acetic acid The same reaction can likewise be effected between the diamine and a diester of the dicarboxylic acid Methods of interface polycondensation can also be adopted by reacting a dichloride of a dicarboxylic acid, dissolved in a water-immiscible organic solvent, with an aqueous solution of a diamine which contains another proton acceptor Various solvents can be used, 30 such as benzene, toluene, chloroform, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride As proton acceptors there can be used the diamine itself, a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine, a mineral base such as calcium hydroxide, or the solvent itself if this is an amide, for example bimethyl acetamide.
Examples of suitable dicarboxylic acids are glutaric acid, adipic acid, 35 monomethyladipic, dimethyladipic and trimethyladipic acids, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, undecanedioic acid, dodecanedioic acid, tetradecanedioic acid, octadecanedioic acid, 3-ethylsebacic acid, 3butylsuberic acid, cyclohexane 1,4 dicarboxylic acid, cyclopentane 1,3 dicarboxylic acid, isophthalic acid, 4-methylisophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, 2 40 methylterephthalic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acids.
Examples of suitable chlorides of the diacids are o-phthaloyl chloride, methoxy-, dimethoxy or ethoxy-isophthaloyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, 2,5 dibromoterephthaloyl chloride, and the acid chlorides of succinic, adipic and sebacic acids 45 Examples of suitable esters are diethyl oxalate, dibutyl oxalate, butyl phenylmalonate, and the methyl and phenyl diesters of (i) ortho-, iso and terephthalic acids, (ii) pyridine 2,5 dicarboxylic acid and (iii) furan 2, 5 dicarboxylic acid.
Another aspect of the invention of our second divisional Application No 50 8010981 (Serial No 1,604,698) is a process for producing copolymers by reacting one or more of the dicarboxylic acids or of their derivatives, with two or more diamines, at least one of the latter diamines being of the general formula IV.
For example, a dicarboxylic acid, its diester or its dichloride can be reacted with one of the diamines according to the present invention, the latter diamine 55 being admixed with another diamine such as hexamethylenediamine, copolyamides being thus obtained which exhibit interesting properties.
The polyamides prepared according to the process of the invention of the second divisional Application No 8010981 (Serial No 1,604,698) generally exhibit a good solubility in m-cresol, dimethylsulphoxide and dimethylformamide These 60 polyamides are swollen by chloroform and by ethanol and, sometimes, in certain cases of aliphatic polyamides, they are dissolved by these solvents They are generally unaffected by acetone, diethyl ether and petroleum ether Depending on the particular dicarboxylic acid which is used, the polyamides according to that invention display a glass transition (Tg) which lies within a wide temperature range 65 1,604,697 Of particular interest are the polyterephthalamides, which have a high Tg and thus a good dimensional stability which enables them to be used even at comparatively high temperatures.
So far as we are aware, all the polyamides of that invention are amorphous, as shown by X-ray analysis performed on the polymers as such, as well as on the 5 annealed polymers Thermal analysis of these samples, performed by differential scanning calorimetry (D S C), in addition to indicating the Tg, shows that the polyamides of that invention are thermally stable since they do not display any appreciable sign of decomposition at temperatures up to 3000 C The polyamides have been characterized, in addition, by measuring their water absorptivity and 10 inherent viscosity (inh q) at 1300 C in a 0 5 % solution in 98 % H 25 04.
The attitude of these polyamides towards film formation, their good adhesion to glass and to certain metals, their good solubility in a few organic solvents and their transparency (attributable to their amorphous structure) suggest the exploitation of such polyamides in the lacquer and varnish industry and, above all, 15 in the manufacture of molded transparent articles.
To provide a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are given by way of illustration, Examples I to 5 illustrating the production of dinitriles, Examples 6 and 7 illustrating the production of diamines and Examples 8 and 9 illustrating the production of polyamides 20 EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of 2,3,3-Trimethyl-Pentane Dinitrile of Formula CH 3 CH 3 I I NC-CH-C-CH 2 CN CH 3 A one-litre flask, equipped with mechanical stirrer having glass vanes, and a dropping funnel with a nitrogen inlet and an inlet for ammonia, was charged under 25 a nitrogen atmosphere with 300 ml of liquid ammonia which had been carefully dehydrated by a first pass over potassium hydroxide pellets and then by a second pass over finely crushed elemental sodium.
During the introduction of ammonia and during the remainder of the reaction, the flask was immersed in a bath of alcohol and dry ice, the temperature of the bath 30 being constantily maintained in the range -410 C to -380 C.
Meanwhile, in a weighing jar containing anhydrous hexane, there were prepared 5 06 grams ( 0 22 mole) of elemental sodium in tiny fragments.
The reaction flask was then charged, with stirring and under a slight stream of anhydrous nitrogen, with a pinch of ferric chloride (about 200 milligrams) and then 35 with one tenth of the metallic sodium which had been prepared beforehand.
After 10 minutes the flask was charged with the remaining sodium pieces, an operation which took 10 minutes approximately.
After an additional 15 minutes there were poured into the flask over the course of 5 minutes, 11 grams ( 0 2 mole) of anhydrous propionitrile diluted with 20 ml of 40 anhydrous diethyl ether.
After a pause of 30 minutes there were added, over the course of 5 minutes, 16.2 grams ( 0 2 mole) of 3,3-dimethyl acrylonitrile of commerical purity (i e 95 %) diluted with 20 ml of anhydrous diethyl ether.
5 Minutes after the completion of the addition of the 3,3-dimethyl 45 acrylonitrile, the reaction mixture was siphoned into an Erlenmeyer flask which contained 22 4 grams ( 0 4 mole) of ammonium chloride slurried in 150 ml of diethyl ether; the flask had a magnetic stirrer and was cooled externally by an alcohol and dry ice bath.
Ammonia was then evaporated off by immersing the flask in a crystallizer 50 filled with alcohol During evaporation, there were added about 150 ml of diethyl ether, whereafter, on completion of the evaporation of ammonia, 150 ml of water were added The two phases were then separated The aqeuous phase was extracted six times with diethyl ether ( 50 ml each time) The ethereal extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and then filtered Ether was then 55 distilled off in a rotary evaporator under a pressure of about 200-250 mm Hg.
There were obtained 30 grams of raw product which still contain diethyl ether.
The raw product was then distilled in a vacuum in a 30-cm Vigreux column The 1,604,697 principal fraction was composed of 20 2 grams (yield 74 8 %) of 2,3,3trimethyl pentanedinitrile, which has a boiling point of 88 C-89 C under about 0 3 mm Hg.
