Description

  

      Torfahren    zur Herstellung von     a-Naphthylessigsäure.       Es     wurde        gefunden,    dass man     a-Naph-          thylessigsäure    auf sehr einfache Weise und  viel billiger als bisher herstellen kann,     wenn     man gemäss der vorliegenden     Erfindung     Naphthalin in schwefelsaurer Lösung     Di-          chlormethyläther    (Cl .<B>CH,</B> - 0 -     CH,    Cl)  zusetzt,

   das entstandene     a-Chlormethylnaph-          thalin        mit        Alkalicyanid        in    das     Nitril    über  führt und     letzteres.    zu     a-Naphthylessigsäure     verseift.  



  Vorzugsweise verwendet man eine Lösung  von Naphthalin in     zirka    40 %     iger    Schwefel  säure und     führt    die Umsetzung mit dem     Di-          ehlormethyläther        unter    Rühren bei einer  Temperatur von 60-65  C durch.  



       Beispiel:     Zu einer     Lösung    von 128 g Naphthalin       in    14 g konzentrierter Schwefelsäure und 35 g  Wasser werden tropfenweise und unter Rüh  ren 114 g     Dichlormethyläther    zugegeben und  das Reaktionsgemisch dann 24 Stunden lang  weiter gerührt, wobei es während dieser gan  zen Zeit auf einer Temperatur von 60-65  C    gehalten wird. Dann wird das entstandene       a-Chlormethylnaphthalin    abgetrennt, mit  Wasser gewaschen und in bekannter Weise  mit     Natriumcyanid    umgesetzt. Das entstandene       Naphthylacetonitril    wird alkalisch zu     a-Naph-          thylessigsäure    verseift.  



  Soll letztere     in    Form ihres     Natriumsalzes     zur Verwendung gelangen, so     wird    sie zweck  mässigerweise in so viel Natronlauge gelöst,  dass die entstehende     Lösung    gerade den       pH-Wert    7 aufweist.     Hierzu    sind bei Verwen  dung von 1 n Na<B>01 197,5</B> % der äquivalenten  Menge und bei Verwendung von 0,1n Na OH  99 % der äquivalenten Menge erforderlich.  Man verwendet also jeweils auf 186 g     a-Naph-          thylessigsäure    entweder 975 cm' 1 n Na OH  oder 9900     cm3    0,1n Na OH. Die Lösung wird  zur Trockne verdampft und der Rückstand  gepulvert .sowie nochmals scharf getrocknet.

    Das erhaltene     Präparat    ist unter Ausschluss  von Feuchtigkeit aufzubewahren. Aus der  Lösung des     Natriumsalzes    kann die freie       a-Naphthylessigsäure        durch    Zugabe von kon  zentrierter Salzsäure wieder abgeschieden  werden.



      Tor driving for the production of a-naphthylacetic acid. It has been found that a-naphthylacetic acid can be produced in a very simple way and much cheaper than before if, according to the present invention, naphthalene in a sulfuric acid solution is dichloromethyl ether (Cl. CH, - 0 - CH, Cl) adds,

   the resulting α-chloromethylnaphthalene with alkali metal cyanide converts into nitrile and the latter. saponified to a-naphthylacetic acid.



  A solution of naphthalene in approximately 40% strength sulfuric acid is preferably used and the reaction with the dichloromethyl ether is carried out at a temperature of 60-65 ° C. with stirring.



       Example: 114 g of dichloromethyl ether are added dropwise and with stirring to a solution of 128 g of naphthalene in 14 g of concentrated sulfuric acid and 35 g of water and the reaction mixture is then stirred for a further 24 hours, during which time it is kept at a temperature of 60 -65 C. The α-chloromethylnaphthalene formed is then separated off, washed with water and reacted in a known manner with sodium cyanide. The resulting naphthylacetonitrile is saponified under alkaline conditions to give α-naphthylacetic acid.



  If the latter is to be used in the form of its sodium salt, it is expediently dissolved in enough sodium hydroxide solution that the resulting solution just has a pH of 7. For this purpose, when using 1N Na 01 197.5% of the equivalent amount and when using 0.1N Na OH 99% of the equivalent amount are required. Either 975 cm -1 N Na OH or 9900 cm 3 0.1 N Na OH are used for each 186 g of a-naphthylacetic acid. The solution is evaporated to dryness and the residue is powdered and dried again sharply.

    The preparation obtained must be stored in the absence of moisture. The free α-naphthylacetic acid can be separated out again from the solution of the sodium salt by adding concentrated hydrochloric acid.
