The reaction route for preparing m-xylylene diisocyanate is as follows:
(1) m-xylylene dicarbamate (M-XDC):
(2) preparation of M-xylylene diisocyanate (M-XDI):
the invention adopts nano SiO in the step (1)2Or TiO2As a catalyst carrier, the catalyst carrier makes full use of the high specific surface area: firstly, the active ingredient, namely Lewis acid, is fully adsorbed and uniformly distributed on a carrier, and the adsorption quantity and the adsorption tightness can be improved; secondly, the nano-carrier can fully adsorb the reaction liquid to ensure that the active ingredients, namely Lewis acid, are closely contacted with the reaction components (m-xylylenediamine and dimethyl carbonate). Further, in step (1)Nano SiO2Or TiO2The supported catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst, and compared with a Lewis acid homogeneous catalyst, the supported catalyst has the remarkable advantages of easy separation, no catalyst residue, repeated recycling, high raw material conversion rate, high product yield and the like.
The reaction of M-xylylenediamine (M-XDA) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) usually results in less formation of di-substituted methyl dicarbamate, with more formation of substantially mono-substituted methyl monocarbamate. However, in the present invention, the conversion of M-XDA into disubstituted M-XDC can be greatly promoted by using a Lewis acid supported catalyst, and the product is mainly disubstituted M-XDC. With Zn (OAc)2For example, the possible reaction mechanism is shown below:
first, Zn (OAc)2Zn in (1)2+Coordinated to the carbonyl oxygen atom of DMC to form a Zn-O coordination bond, Zn (OAc)2Conversion to a bidentate complex allows the carbonyl carbon atom in the DMC to be activated. One amino group in M-XDA is taken as a nucleophilic reagent to perform nucleophilic reaction (methoxycarbonylation) with activated carbonyl carbon atoms in the complex to generate intermediate products, namely methyl monocarbamate and methanol. Finally, another unreacted amino group in the methyl monocarbamate re-nucleophilically attacks another activated carbonyl carbon atom in the DMC to form the M-XDC final product.
The method adopts the superfine composite oxide as the heterogeneous catalyst in the step (2), and has the advantages of simple operation, easy separation, no catalyst residue, repeated recycling, high raw material conversion rate, high product yield and the like.
In the reaction process of the step (2), the problem that the final product M-XDI is easy to recombine with the byproduct methanol in the thermal cracking process also exists, which is one of the difficult problems of the thermal cracking process, and the generated methanol needs to be removed in time. The invention can be emptied in time by setting the interval time or the pressure limit value in the reaction process to remove the byproduct methanol generated in the reaction, thereby solving the process problem.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the method adopts low-toxicity, green and environment-friendly dimethyl carbonate to replace highly-toxic phosgene or triphosgene to prepare m-xylylene diisocyanate, accords with the green chemical development concept, changes the main by-product of the reaction process from highly-corrosive hydrochloric acid into methanol, reduces the requirement on equipment to a great extent, prolongs the service life of the equipment, reduces the production cost, does not relate to chlorine element in the reaction process, does not have the problem of chlorine ion residue in the product, improves the product quality, and has wider application field;
(2) in the preparation stage of an intermediate product, namely M-xylylene dicarbamate (M-XDC), and in the preparation stage of a final product, namely M-xylylene diisocyanato ester (M-XDI), supported Lewis acid (Lewis acid) and superfine composite oxide with high specific surface area are respectively adopted as catalysts, the two catalysts are heterogeneous catalysts, and the preparation method has the advantages of simplicity in operation, easiness in separation, no catalyst residue, reusability, high raw material conversion rate, high product yield and the like, and the finally prepared M-xylylene diisocyanate (M-XDI) has high purity and high yield by screening the high-efficiency supported Lewis acid catalyst and the superfine composite oxide catalyst and assisting a purification process and a reduced pressure rectification process under high vacuum degree;
(3) when M-xylylene diisocyanate (M-XDI) is prepared, the air is discharged in time by setting interval time or pressure limit value to remove a byproduct methanol generated in the reaction, the problem that M-xylylene diisocyanate is easy to recombine with the byproduct methanol in a thermal cracking process in the preparation process is solved, and high-purity M-xylylene diisocyanate is obtained by vacuum rectification under high vacuum degree.

In the above examples 18 to 23, the reaction conditions and the reaction results are shown in the following table 3:
table 3 reaction conditions and results of examples 18 to 23
As can be seen from Table 3, under the same reaction conditions, based on TiO2Superfine composite oxide ZnO/TiO2、PbO/TiO2、MnO/TiO2Compared with SiO-based2The ultrafine composite oxides of (a) have more excellent catalytic effects, which may be associated with Ti, Zn, Pb and Mn as transition metals, which differ in acidity from one another, resulting in different catalytic activities. As a composite oxide catalyst, different metal ions are tightly connected, and can play a synergistic role in catalyzing the thermal decomposition process of M-XDC, so that the catalyst has a better catalytic effect.
As can be seen from Table 3 above, the ultrafine composite oxide ZnO/TiO in example 212Has the best catalytic effect, and simultaneously has the advantages of easy separation and repeated recycling when being used as a load type heterogeneous catalyst. Based on example 21, an ultrafine composite oxide ZnO/TiO was added2After the catalyst is filtered and separated, the catalyst is washed for 3 times by absolute ethyl alcohol, dried in vacuum at 100 ℃ and recycled. The catalyst was examined for its cyclability in examples 24 to 28 under the operating conditions of example 18. The reaction conditions and the reaction results are shown in table 4:
TABLE 4 reaction conditions and results of examples 24 to 28
As can be seen from Table 4, the ultrafine composite oxide ZnO/TiO2After the catalyst is recycled for 5 times, the yield and the purity of M-XDI are hardly reduced, which shows that the supported catalyst has good recycling performance.
In the reaction step (1), nano SiO2Or TiO2The supported catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst, and compared with a Lewis acid homogeneous catalyst, the supported catalyst has the remarkable advantages of easy separation, no catalyst residue, repeated recycling, high raw material conversion rate, high product yield and the like. In comparative examples 1 to 3, Lewis acid homogeneous catalysts, such as anhydrous Zn (OAc), were used2Anhydrous Pb (OAc)2And anhydrous Mn (OAc)2The reaction process and effect are as follows:

In the above comparative examples 1 to 3, the reaction conditions and the reaction results are shown in the following table 5:
TABLE 5 reaction conditions and reaction results for comparative examples 1 to 3
Comparing the M-XDC yield data in tables 1 and 5, using a Lewis acid homogeneous catalyst such as anhydrous Zn (OAc)2Anhydrous Pb (OAc)2And anhydrous Mn (OAc)2The catalytic effect is obviously inferior to that of corresponding nano SiO2Or TiO2Supported catalysts, especially nano TiO2A supported catalyst. By using nano SiO2Or TiO2As a catalyst carrier, the catalyst fully utilizes the high specific surface area, uniformly disperses the Lewis acid active center and ensures that the reaction activity is higher. In addition, in order to wash out the residual Lewis acid homogeneous catalyst in the product, deionized water needs to be added for washing in the post-treatment process, which results in increased wastewater amount and incapability of recycling the Lewis acid homogeneous catalyst.
In the reaction step (2), the superfine composite oxide adopted in the embodiments 18 to 23 has better catalysisEffect, in particular based on TiO2Superfine composite oxide ZnO/TiO2、PbO/ TiO2、MnO/TiO2The catalytic effect is more excellent, which may be associated with Ti, Zn, Pb and Mn as transition metals, which are different in acidity from each other, so that they have different catalytic activities.

Comparing the M-XDI yield data in tables 3 and 6, the catalytic effect of the catalyst using the ultra-fine single-component oxide catalyst was significantly inferior to that of the ultra-fine composite oxide catalyst.
In addition, as can be seen from the foregoing description, in the step (2), there is a problem that the final product M-XDI is easily recombined with the byproduct methanol of the thermal cracking process, which is also one of the problems of the thermal cracking process, and it is necessary to remove the generated methanol in time. The invention can be emptied in time by setting the interval time or the pressure limit value in the reaction process to remove the byproduct methanol generated in the reaction, thereby solving the process problem. Superfine composite oxide ZnO/TiO with best catalytic effect2As a catalyst, in comparative example 9, the reaction was carried out in such a manner that methanol as a by-product was not excluded, and the reaction process and effects were as follows:
comparative example 9
Adding m-xylylene diamino methyl formate (methyl benzoate) into a 1L high-pressure reaction kettleM-XDC, 126.1g, 0.5 mol), dimethyl phthalate (440.4 g), catalyst superfine composite oxide ZnO/TiO2(0.8g,ZnO+TiO2The ratio of the amount of substance/M-XDC was about 2%). Under the protection of nitrogen, stirring is started, the temperature is raised to 250 ℃ for reaction, and a by-product methanol generated in the reaction is not discharged in the reaction process. After the reaction is finished (after the pressure is not obviously increased any more, the temperature is kept for 30 min), the temperature is reduced to room temperature, and the filtration is carried out to obtain the filtrate of the catalyst and the m-xylylene diisocyanate. And (3) under the condition that the vacuum degree of the obtained filtrate is 1000-2000 Pa, the temperature of the reaction kettle is 100-150 ℃, and the distilled fraction is dimethyl phthalate serving as a solvent. And after the solvent is completely distilled off, continuously reducing the vacuum degree to 50-500 Pa, keeping the temperature of the reaction kettle between 100 ℃ and 150 ℃, and rectifying to obtain 56.6g of m-xylylene diisocyanate with the purity of 99.5% and the yield of 60.2%.
The reaction conditions and the catalyst were the same in example 21 and comparative example 9, and the difference between them was whether methanol produced as a by-product during the reaction was timely removed. By comparing the M-XDI yield of the two, the method can be seen that the byproduct methanol generated in the reaction process is removed in time, and the recombination of the byproduct methanol and M-XDI is prevented, thereby having very important function for improving the M-XDI yield.
