Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title compound useful as an intermediate for drugs, agricultural chemicals, etc., in high yield, in high purity safely and readily by dispersing lime nitrogen into an organic liquid containing methanol, introducing a carbon dioxide gas to the dispersion to give a cyanamide solution and adding an acid to the solution. CONSTITUTION:Lime nitrogen is dispersed into an organic liquid containing methanol as an essential component and optionally acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, etc., to give a dispersion, to which a carbon dioxide gas is introduced to form a cyanamide solution in the organic liquid. Then an acid is added to the solution and O-methylisourea salt is industrially and advantageously obtained without using an isolated cyamanide substance such as cyanamide crystal causing a great number of troubles in terms of production and preservation. The water content of the reaction systems in the processes is preferably low in both the processes.

As is clear from the above reaction formula, in the method of producing cyanamide by dispersing lime nitrogen in water, first the formula (
Since calcium hydroxide is produced as in 1), the cyanamide liberation reaction usually proceeds in an alkaline aqueous medium, so that a portion of cyanamide tends to trimerize and form dicyandiamide as a by-product. In addition, in the process of isolating cyanamide from the produced aqueous cyanamide solution by concentration to dryness, a small amount of dissolved calcium is also concentrated, the aqueous solution gradually becomes more alkaline, and a portion of the cyanamide is likely to further trimerize to form dicyandiamide. Since this reaction sometimes occurs explosively and is extremely dangerous, it is necessary to reduce the amount of dissolved calcium in the aqueous solution as much as possible, which requires complicated operations. Furthermore, since it is generally not easy to separate such by-product dicyandiamide from cyanamide, the cyanamide obtained by the above production method is inevitably contaminated with dicyandiamide, and high-purity cyanamide with a purity exceeding 92% by weight cannot be avoided. It is extremely difficult to manufacture industrially.

Furthermore, the stability of isolated cyanamide powder during storage is not necessarily sufficient, and the content of dicyandiamide may increase over time due to trimerization, and in some cases, this dimerization reaction may be explosive. There is a risk that this may occur, so it is essential to store it at a low temperature, such as in a refrigerator. As described above, the method of isolating cyanamide and its storage involves many delicate and complicated steps, and therefore, the method of producing 0-methylisourea using isolated cyanamide is inevitably expensive. There wasn't.

According to the production method of the present invention, cyanamide isolates such as cyanamide crystals, which have many problems in production and storage, are not used as a starting material, and cyanamide is produced in a methanol-containing organic liquid.
Cyanamide is liberated as a solution by reacting carbon dioxide gas with lime nitrogen, and it is only necessary to add an acid such as sulfuric acid to this solution and react, so it is possible to produce O-methylisourea salt with high yield and high purity in an industrial system. This makes it possible to manufacture safely and easily.
