Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a mercaptocarboxylic acid in a high yield by reaoting an aqueous solution of an alkaline hydrosulfide with an unsaturated nitrile using a sulfur compound as a reaction accelerator, neutralizing and hydrolyzing the resultant reaction mixture. CONSTITUTION:An unsaturated nitrile (e.g., acrylonitrile) of the formula (R1 and R2 are H or 1-3C alkyl; n is 0-3) is added to an aqueous solution of an alkaline hydrosulfide and the resultant mixture is reacted using a sulfur compound such as sulfur or sodium disulfide as a reaction accelerator in an amount of the order of 0.7-5wt.% based on that of the alkaline hydrosulfide. The resultant reaction mixture is neutralized and hydrolyzed, thus obtaining the objective mercaptocarboxylic acid (e.g., beta-mercaptopropionic acid) in a high yield.

As mentioned above, as a result of repeated tests by the present inventors regarding JP-A-58-198460, we found that the reaction results vary greatly depending on the type of aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution used as a raw material.
A significant difference in the yield of β-mercaptopropionic acid was observed. In other words, when the reaction is carried out using a high-purity aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution, the yield of β-mercaptopropionic acid is low and the yield as described in the publication cannot be obtained, and instead it contains impurities. It has been found that when the reaction is carried out using an aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution with low purity, the yield of β-mercaptopropionic acid may be improved.

The cause of this is thought to be that trace components contained as impurities in the alkali hydrosulfide act as reaction accelerators, promoting the production of β-mercaptopropionic acid, and we have conducted extensive studies. As a result, the present inventors found that when producing β-mercaptopropionic acid from an aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution and acrylonitrile, the yield of β-mercaptopropionic acid was significantly improved by the presence of a sulfur compound as a reaction accelerator. This is what I found.

The reaction involves adding an unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile to an aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution and causing the reaction, and a sulfur compound is present as a reaction accelerator. Examples of the sulfur compound as a reaction accelerator include sulfur, sodium disulfide, Sodium trisulfide, sodium tetrasulfide, sodium trisulfide, potassium disulfide, potassium trisulfide, potassium tetrasulfide,
Examples include potassium trisulfide. In addition, the method of making the sulfur compound present is not particularly limited, but a low-purity alkali hydrosulfide that originally contains sulfur compounds as impurities can be used as is for the reaction, or when using a high-purity alkali hydrosulfide The sulfur compound can be used in the reaction either after the sulfur compound is added to the aqueous alkali hydrosulfide solution and dissolved, or without dissolving it. The ratio of the sulfur compound to the alkali hydrosulfide is preferably 0.4% or more in terms of molar ratio, preferably in the range of 0.7% to 5%.If the amount of sulfur compound is small, β-mercaptopropionic acid The yield is low, and even if it is present in an amount of 5% or more, the effect of improving the yield of β-mercaptopropionic acid is weak, which is economically disadvantageous.

To add an unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile to an alkali hydrosulfide, the unsaturated nitrile can be gradually added dropwise over a period of time to cause the reaction, or it can be added over a short period of time to cause the reaction. However, since the yield of mercaptocarboxylic acid is better when the reaction is carried out by gradual addition, it is more preferable. After dropping the unsaturated nitrile, the reaction is aged for several hours to complete the reaction. Reaction temperature is 20-70
℃, and if the temperature is low, the reaction rate will be slow and the reaction time will be long, resulting in poor productivity.If the temperature is higher than 70℃, there is a disadvantage that the yield of the corresponding mercaptocarboxylic acid will decrease.

The reaction solution obtained under the above conditions is hydrolyzed under acidic or basic conditions to produce mercaptocarboxylic acid. In this case, when hydrolyzing under acidic conditions, it is necessary to Hydrolysis is carried out by adding mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid to the reaction solution to neutralize and acidify it. When hydrolysis is carried out under basic conditions, sodium hydroxide and water are added to the reaction solution after aging. Mercaptocarboxylic acid can be obtained by adding an alkali hydroxide such as potassium oxide to perform hydrolysis and then adding a mineral acid to neutralize it.
