In the above method, isethionic acid of good quality can certainly be obtained in high yield, but the reaction solvent used is anhydrous lower alcohol, and the solubility of the raw material sodium isethionate in this solvent is extremely low. . Therefore, perhaps because the reaction with anhydrous hydrogen chloride occurs in a substantially non-uniform state, the reaction rate is slow and when the reaction temperature is raised to avoid this, undesirable side reactions such as decomposition occur, resulting in isethionic acid being obtained. quality has decreased.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present inventors focused on the solubility of isethionate salts and the economical efficiency of isolation of isethionic acid alone obtained by reaction with acid. As a result of further investigation, it was discovered that high-quality isethionic acid can be easily produced industrially by using an ammonium salt of isethionic acid, which has a high solubility in a specific alcohol, which has not been considered until now. reached.

In carrying out the method of the present invention, lower alcohols are used as a reaction solvent, examples of which include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, etc., and the solubility of ammonium isethionate in these alcohols is that of sodium chloride. It is extremely large compared to that of salt.

For example, when comparing the solubility in ethanol at room temperature, in the case of ammonium salt, it is 3% by weight, while in the case of sodium salt, it is only 0.5%.

In this way, due to the difference in solubility, the rate at which the reaction with anhydrous hydrogen chloride proceeds in a homogeneous phase is an order of magnitude higher, and therefore, not only does the reaction proceed faster, but the formation of by-products during the reaction is suppressed, and the above simple substance separation becomes easy.

The mixing ratio of the above-mentioned alcohol solvent and isethionic acid ammonium salt is important for speeding up the reaction, and the weight ratio of the latter to the former is preferably 10 to 60%. 60%
If the amount used is above, the amount of dissolved ammonium salt of isethionate will decrease, which is not preferable, and if it exceeds 10%, not only will the amount of solvent used increase unnecessarily, but the reaction efficiency will deteriorate, which is not preferable.

In that case, there is no limit to the order in which the solvent is added, but for example, a method may be used in which the solvent is first added to the reaction vessel, then isethionic acid ammonium salt is added, and hydrogen chloride is added while stirring while keeping the temperature at a predetermined temperature, or alcohol as a solvent is added. Examples include a method in which hydrogen chloride is dissolved in advance in a mixture, and isethionic acid ammonium salt is added thereto to proceed with the reaction.

Generally, the reaction temperature should be at room temperature or above, but if the temperature is so high that decomposition of isethionic acid ammonium salt or isethionic acid itself is expected, it will cause a decrease in the quality of the product, which is not desirable. Therefore, the reaction temperature should be set at room temperature. The temperature is preferably above 80°C.

The reaction proceeds under the above conditions, and after completion, the ammonium chloride present as a solid in the reaction system is filtered off, and the reaction medium is further removed by distillation if hydrogen chloride is used in excess. Anhydrous and highly pure isethionic acid can be obtained. At this time, in order to avoid decomposition of isethionic acid, the distillation temperature is preferably the same as that during the reaction, even if it is high.
