The present invention relates to a method for producing glycerol acetate by reacting allyl acetate with acetic acid and molecular oxygen in a liquid phase in the presence of iodide ions and nitric acid, and by hydrolyzing the resulting glycerol acetate. Glycerin can be easily produced. Conventionally, most glycerin has been produced by saponification or hydrolysis of natural oils and fats, and most synthetic glycerin has been produced by the so-called epichlorohydrin method in which propylene is converted to epichlorohydrin. In recent years, for the purpose of synthesizing glycerin, many methods have been reported for producing glycerin acetate by reacting allyl acetate with acetic acid and molecular oxygen (Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-43205, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-11704,
52-89613, 53-147021, etc.) However, each of these methods has drawbacks, which hinder their industrial implementation. For example, methods using palladium or palladium compounds and nitrogen-containing oxygen compounds as catalysts have the disadvantage of producing large amounts of low-boiling by-products and low selectivity. Methods using catalysts or catalysts consisting of iodine and tin or cerium compounds have the disadvantage of low catalytic activity. In view of the above circumstances, the present inventor conducted various studies to develop a catalyst with excellent activity and selectivity in a method for obtaining glycerin acetate by reacting allyl acetate with acetic acid and molecular oxygen. The present invention was achieved by discovering that a catalyst system consisting of ions and nitric acid has good activity and selectivity. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The process of the invention uses an excess of acetic acid relative to allyl acetate and is carried out in the liquid phase. Usually, an excess amount of acetic acid also serves as a reaction solvent, but an inert organic solvent can be used in the reaction if desired. In this case, if the concentration of allyl acetate in the liquid phase is low, the reaction rate will be low, so the concentration is preferably 0.5 mol/or more. Iodine ions do not exist uniquely in the reaction system, but nitrogen oxides, which are nitric acid further oxidized to a highly oxidized state by nitric acid or molecular oxygen, oxidize iodide ions to form I 2 , I 2 O, IO - , IO 2 -
Iodine compound species in a higher oxidation state are formed, and these act on allyl acetate to progress acetoxylation, and the iodine compound species in a higher oxidation state are reduced to a lower oxidation state. It is thought that it becomes an iodine ion or an iodine compound. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, it is sufficient to supply to the reaction system an iodine compound that can be incorporated into the above reaction mechanism to generate iodide ions, such as elemental iodine, hydrogen iodide,
Lithium iodide, sodium iodide, potassium iodide,
Examples include metal iodides such as magnesium iodide and copper iodide, hypoiodic acid or its salts, iodic acid or its salts, and periodic acid or its salts. Iodine ions are contained in the reaction system at a rate of 1 gram ion/or less,
It is preferably used in an amount of 0.05 to 0.2 gram ion/. Nitric acid is used in the reaction system in an amount of 1 mol or less, preferably 0.05 to 0.2 mol/. Molecular oxygen can be used in a pure state, but it can also be used diluted with a gas inert to the reaction, such as nitrogen or argon. In addition, in the method of the present invention, the reaction can proceed more efficiently when the oxygen partial pressure is high, so the reaction can be carried out at normal pressure, but it is preferable to carry out the reaction by increasing the oxygen partial pressure. . A suitable oxygen partial pressure is 0.1-100 Kg/ cm2 . The reaction temperature is usually
It is carried out at room temperature to 200°C, preferably 90 to 140°C. The glycerin acetate obtained by the method of the present invention can be used as it is as a solvent, and glycerin can be easily obtained by hydrolysis. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 100 ml of acetic acid and 10 ml of allyl acetate (approximately 93 m
mol), 3.32 g of potassium iodide and 2 ml of concentrated nitric acid (approximately 27 mmol of nitric acid), nitrogen containing 6% oxygen by volume was introduced under pressure to 50 kg/cm 2 G, and the mixture was heated at 130°C
Allowed time to react. After cooling the autoclave to room temperature, the pressure was released and the reaction product liquid was analyzed by gas chromatography, and it was found that triacetin was 3.09.
mmol, monoacetin and diacetin 12.55m
mol was generated. The autoclave containing the above reaction product liquid was heated again with nitrogen containing 6% oxygen by volume.
The pressure was increased to 50 kg/cm 2 G, and the reaction was carried out at 130° C. for 8 hours, then allowed to cool, the pressure was released, and the resulting reaction product liquid was analyzed by gas chromatography. the result,
The amount of triacetin produced was 16.1 mmol, and the amount of monoacetin and diacetin produced was 12.0 mmol. Example 2 50 ml of acetic acid and 5 ml of allyl acetate were placed in a glass reactor equipped with a reflux condenser and a gas inlet with an internal volume of 100 c.c.
(approximately 46 mmol), 1.66 g of potassium iodide and 1 ml of concentrated nitric acid (approximately 13 mmol as nitric acid), and heated to 130°C.
Immerse the reactor in an oil bath with oxygen gas at 40N per minute.
The reaction was carried out for 90 minutes while flowing at a flow rate of 1 ml. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product solution was analyzed by gas chromatography, and it was found that 0.24 m of triacetin was detected.
mol, monoacetin and diacetin 4.52 mmol
was being generated. Examples 3 to 5, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 Reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2 using the catalysts listed in Table 1 instead of potassium iodide and concentrated nitric acid, and at the reaction temperature and reaction time listed in Table 1. I did this. The results are shown in Table-1.
