本発明においては、グリコール酸オリゴマーの解重合反応性を向上させるために、溶媒を使用することが好ましい。このような溶媒としては極性有機溶媒が好ましく、沸点が230~450℃である高沸点極性有機溶媒がより好ましい。このような高沸点極性有機溶媒は、解重合反応において溶媒として作用するとともに、生成したグリコリドを反応系から取り出す際の共留出成分として作用し、製造ラインの内壁にグリコリドなどが付着することを防ぐことができる。したがって、極性有機溶媒の沸点が前記下限未満になると、解重合反応温度を高く設定することができず、グリコリドの生成速度が低下する傾向にある。他方、極性有機溶媒の沸点が前記上限を超えると、解重合反応時に極性有機溶媒が留出しにくく、生成したグリコリドとの共留出が困難となる傾向にある。このような観点から、高沸点極性有機溶媒の沸点としては235~450℃がより好ましく、255~430℃がさらに好ましく、280~420℃が特に好ましい。なお、本発明において極性有機溶媒の沸点は、常圧下での値であり、減圧下で沸点を測定した場合には常圧での値に換算する。

本発明のグリコリドの製造方法においては、フェノール系酸化防止剤の存在下でグリコール酸オリゴマーを解重合させる。この解重合は、溶媒中で行うことが好ましい。これにより、グリコリドの生成および揮発速度を向上させることが可能となる。また、スズ化合物の存在下、可溶化剤の存在下、またはこれらを組み合わせた条件下で前記解重合を行うことも好ましい。以下、フェノール系酸化防止剤の存在下、溶媒中でグリコール酸オリゴマーを解重合させる方法について詳細に説明する。
先ず、グリコール酸オリゴマーとフェノール系酸化防止剤と溶媒とを混合する。得られた混合物を加熱して、溶媒にグリコール酸オリゴマーおよびフェノール系酸化防止剤を溶解させる。このとき、前記混合物には可溶化剤を混合することが好ましい。これにより、グリコール酸オリゴマーの溶媒への溶解性が向上し、グリコリドの生成および揮発速度を飛躍的に向上させることが可能となる。また、必要に応じてスズ化合物を混合してもよい。これにより、グリコリドの収量を増大させることができる。
次に、このようにして調製した溶液相(グリコール酸オリゴマーとフェノール系酸化防止剤と、必要に応じて可溶化剤およびスズ化合物とを溶媒中に実質的に均一に溶解したもの)の加熱をさらに継続し、前記溶液相中でグリコール酸オリゴマーを解重合させ、グリコリドを生成させる。本発明においては、フェノール系酸化防止剤の存在下でグリコール酸オリゴマーを解重合させるため、オリゴマーの重質化が抑制され、長時間にわたってグリコリドを製造することが可能となる。
次に、このようにして生成したグリコリドを溶媒とともに留出させる。これにより、製造ラインの内壁へのグリコリドの付着が抑制され、ラインの閉塞を防止することができる。また、この解重合反応は可逆反応であるため、グリコリドを反応系から留出させることによってグリコール酸オリゴマーの解重合反応が効率的に進行する。特に、減圧下で解重合反応を行うとグリコリドが留出しやすく、解重合反応がより効率的に進行する。
このように、溶媒とともに留出したグリコリドは、特開2004-523596号公報または国際公開第WO02/014303号に記載の方法により回収することができる。例えば、グリコリドと溶媒との共留出物を冷却し、必要に応じて貧溶媒を添加して固化・析出させることによって回収することができる。また、国際公開第WO02/014303号に記載されているように、熱安定性に優れた溶媒を用いた場合には、相分離によって回収することもできる。
示差走査熱量計(DSC)を用いて不活性ガス雰囲気下、昇温速度10℃/分の条件で測定した。
1リットルのセパラブルフラスコに、グリコール酸の70%水溶液(デュポン社製工業用グレード)1kgを仕込み、常圧で撹拌しながら加熱して室温から220℃まで4時間かけて昇温させた。この間、生成した水を留去しながら縮合反応を行なった。次に、フラスコ内を常圧から2kPaまで1時間かけて徐々に減圧した後、220℃で3時間加熱して縮合反応を継続した。その後、未反応原料などの低沸分を留去してグリコール酸オリゴマー(GAO)480gを得た。このグリコール酸オリゴマーの融点は211℃であった。
100mlの耐圧容器に、調製例1で得られたグリコール酸オリゴマー(GAO)4.57g、溶媒としてテトラエチレングリコールジブチルエーテル(TEG-DB、沸点:340℃、分子量:306、グリコリドの溶解度:4.6%)2.86g、可溶化剤としてオクチルトリエチレングリコール(OTEG)2.54g、触媒として二塩化スズ(SnCl2)二水和物0.071g、およびフェノール系酸化防止剤として1,3,5-トリメチル-2,4,6-トリス(3,5-ジ-t-ブチル-4-ヒドロキシベンジル)ベンゼン((株)ADEKA製「アデカスタブAO-330」、分子量:775)100mgを仕込み、260℃まで加熱して均一な溶液を調製した。
フェノール系酸化防止剤を使用しなかった以外は実施例1と同様にしてグリコリドを合成し、反応終了後の溶液中のアルカリ分解不溶物の濃度を求めたところ、11.6質量%であった。
