Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily, economically and advantageously obtain a compound useful as a synthetic intermediate for medicines, agricultural chemicals and functional materials in good yield by reacting diphenyl sulfide with chlorosulfuric acid in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. CONSTITUTION:Diphenyl sulfide is subjected to sulfonating reaction using industrially inexpensive chlorosulfuric acid as a sulfonating agent in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent at -10 to +50 deg.C temperature to afford the objective substance. At least one selected from dichoroethane, chloroform, dichloromethane and chlorobenzene is used as the chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. The resultant product is readily dried by using a low-boiling solvent and the method is economically more advantageous. The chlorosulfuric acid is used at 0.6-1.2 molar ratio based on the diphenyl sulfide.

Its usefulness is being widely recognized as an important synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of functional materials. 4-(Phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid is useful on its own, but
It can lead to sulfonyl chlorides and thiols, and as a result, it can serve as a starting material for the synthesis of various compounds. Furthermore, by oxidizing the divalent sulfur moiety sandwiched between two phenyl groups and changing its oxidation number, a wide range of applications can be expected.

One possible reason for this is that an industrial manufacturing method for this compound has not yet been established, and it has not been possible to supply it in large quantities at low cost.

The existence of barium salt of 4-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid has been known for a long time (Ber, 2

The sulfonate itself can serve as a starting material for the synthesis of various compounds. However, since sulfonate salts are generally extracted from an aqueous solution, there are problems such as it takes a long time to dry, and when thionyl chloride or the like is used to form an acid chloride, salts are formed in the system. Therefore, obtaining 4-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid in the form of the free acid is considered to be industrially more useful than obtaining it in the form of the salt.

今までこの化合物が遊離酸の形でほとんど取り出された

The reason why this compound has rarely been extracted in the form of a free acid is that aromatic sulfonic acids generally have low thermal stability in an anhydrous state.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As shown above, the conventional methods, both the sulfonating agent and the reaction solvent, have had major problems from the standpoint of industrialization. Therefore, when producing 4-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid, the present inventors conducted intensive studies on a method of sulfonating diphenyl sulfide, which is an inexpensive raw material, and made efforts to establish an industrially practicable production method. At this time, since diphenyl sulfide naturally has o- and p-orientation, it was also necessary to consider obtaining only the P-isomer in good yield.

Since it has P-orientation, the selectivity for only P-isomer (
Next, since diphenyl sulfide has two engineered nyl rings (with a sulfur atom in between), it was important not to create a compound in which sulfonic acid groups were introduced into both phenyl rings.

Conventionally, the method using sulfur trioxide mentioned above has been known for sulfonation of diphenyl sulfide, but we have conducted extensive research on a sulfonating agent that satisfies the above two conditions and is industrially usable. However, it has been discovered that chlorosulfuric acid is suitable for this purpose.

That is, when chlorosulfuric acid is used as the sulfonating agent, since diphenyl sulfide itself is a liquid, the reaction proceeds simply by dropping the former into the latter and stirring, without using a reaction solvent. However, the product 4-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid precipitates in the system as a solid, making it difficult to complete the reaction and requiring the use of a solvent.

Therefore, as a result of various studies regarding solvents, the present inventors found that
We have found that chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents give the best results. The chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent is not particularly limited as long as it does not react with chlorosulfuric acid and dissolves diphenyl sulfide, but among others, dichloroethane, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrachloroethane, chlorobenzene, etc. can be used. The desired product can be obtained in good yield. These solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

When the reaction is carried out in the above solvent, a reaction yield of 90% or more is usually obtained. It is also very easy to remove the product from the reaction solution, and in many cases it is sufficient to simply remove the product that has precipitated during the reaction.

When a low boiling point solvent such as dichloroethane is used in the reaction, the resulting crystals may be dried at a low temperature;
-(Phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid can be obtained with high purity without thermal denaturation. The by-product 2-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid was not found in the product, confirming that the reaction proceeded regioselectively.

This reaction is preferably carried out at a reaction temperature of -10'C to 50C. If the reaction temperature is higher than 50°C, by-products with sulfone groups introduced at the 4 and 4' positions of both phenyl groups will increase, and if it is lower than -10°C, the reaction rate will be slow, which is economically disadvantageous. .

Effects of the Invention The present invention has made it possible to easily synthesize 4-(phenylthio)benzenesulfonic acid, which was conventionally considered difficult to synthesize.
