The present invention relates to a method for producing N-alkyl-2-oxazolidones, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing N-alkyl-2-oxazolidones, and more specifically to a method for producing 2-oxazolidones with a lower alkyl halide in a polyethylene glycol di-lower alkyl ether solvent in the presence of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The present invention relates to a method for producing N-alkyl-2-oxazolidones in an industrially advantageous manner through selective, high-yield N-alkylation. N-alkyl-2-oxazolidones have various uses as aprotic polar solvents and have a large dielectric constant, and some of their derivatives have physiological activity, making them a useful group of compounds that have recently attracted attention. It is. As a method for synthesizing N-alkyl-2-oxazolidones, the Hohmeyer method, in which an N-alkylethanolamine derivative is reacted with a carbonic acid diester, has been known for a long time, but N-alkylation of 2-oxazolidones is an unestablished synthetic method. It was hot on the route. The N-alkylation of 2-oxazolidones in the literature is a method in which the hydrogen of the amine group is first metallized with an alkali metal such as lithium or sodium, and then alkylated with alkyl iodide. This production method has problems such as low efficiency due to the two-stage reaction, low yield considering the use of expensive and dangerous alkali metals (Jitsugoku Publication, 1972-
7959). The present inventors have conducted intensive research to overcome such problems, and have found that polyethylene glycol di-lower alkyl ether is used as a solvent in the dehydrohalogenation reaction of 2-oxazolidones and lower alkyl halides using an alkali metal hydroxide. The present inventors have discovered that this reaction can proceed with high selectivity and high yield by using this method, leading to the present invention. The 2-oxazolidones of the present invention have the general formula (In the formula, R 1 to R 4 represent either a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having a linear or side chain having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group having or not having an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group) and R 1 to R 4 may be the same or different. The sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide of the present invention may be used in the reaction as a solid without being dissolved, and the amount can be freely determined, but in order to achieve a high reaction rate, 2-oxazolidone An equivalent amount or more is required for the class. Taking economic efficiency into account, the preferred range is 1.0 to 3.0 in terms of molar ratio to the 2-oxazolidones, with 1.1 to 1.7 being particularly preferred. The halogenated lower alkyl of the present invention includes methyl,
These are iodides, bromides, and chlorides of ethyl, n-propyl, and n-butyl, and they can be used in the reaction in a liquid or gas state, and the amount can be freely determined, but in order to achieve a high reaction rate, is required in an amount equivalent to or more than the 2-oxazolidones. Taking economic efficiency into account, the preferred range is 1.0 to 2.0, particularly 1.05 to 1.5, in terms of molar ratio to the 2-oxazolidones. The polyethylene glycol di-lower alkyl ether used as a solvent in the present invention can also be used as a mixture of two or more. As the lower alkyl group, a linear one having 1 to 4 carbon atoms is preferable, and polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether is particularly excellent. In order to achieve a high reaction rate, it is necessary to completely dissolve the 2-oxazolidones under the reaction conditions, and the amount of solvent required is six times the amount of the 2-oxazolidones by weight. Taking economic efficiency into consideration, the amount of solvent is 6 to 20 times, preferably 7 to 15 times. The reaction temperature can be arbitrarily selected within the range of 20°C to 150°C, but 30 to 100°C is particularly preferred.
Although the reaction may be carried out under atmospheric pressure, it is preferable to carry out the reaction under elevated pressure. When the method of the present invention is carried out industrially, either a batch method or a continuous method can be employed as long as sufficient raw material contact is possible. or,
In separating the product after the reaction, common separation operations can be applied. For example, in the case of N-methyl-2-oxazolidone, after the reaction is completed, by-product salts are removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation or filtering, and the separated liquid is subsequently purified by distillation to obtain the desired N-methyl-2-oxazolidone. −
Oxazolidone can be easily obtained. The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples. Example 1 2-
40 g (0.47 mol) of oxazolidone, 28 g (0.7 mol) of sodium hydroxide and 400 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether were charged, and
24 g (0.48 mol) of methyl chloride was introduced in gaseous form over a period of time to cause a reaction. After the introduction of methyl chloride, the temperature was raised to 95°C and the reaction was carried out for 4 hours. By-product salts were separated from the reaction solution, and the solution was analyzed by gas chromatography. The yield of N-methyl-2-oxazolidone is
It was 99.9%. Comparative Example 1 400g of toluene was added in place of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether in Example 1, and Example 1
I reacted in the same way. Methyl chloride is 5.5g
(0.11 mol) could be introduced. When the by-product salt was separated from the reaction solution, the target product was separated into the by-product salt. It was extracted with butyl alcohol and the extract was analyzed by gas chromatography. N-methyl-2-
The yield of oxazolidone was 22%. Compared to Example 1, it is clear that the effect of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is greater. Comparative Example 2 40 g of 2-oxazolidone, 10.6 g (0.46 mol) of sodium metal, and 400 g of toluene were added to the apparatus of Example 1.
was charged, the temperature was raised to 100°C, the reaction was cooled and the generated hydrogen was purged, and then the reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. Only 5.7 g of methyl chloride could be introduced, and it was treated and analyzed in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1. N-methyl-2
-The yield of oxazolidone was 23%. Examples 2 to 4 In the same manner as in Example 1, reactions were carried out using the raw materials shown in Table 1.
