DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing diacetoxybutane (hereinafter referred to as DABA) from diacetoxybutene (hereinafter referred to as DABE) by hydrogenation. DABA is an intermediate raw material for 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran, which is industrially useful as a raw material for urethane, polyester, etc. DABE can be obtained, for example, by reacting butadiene with acetic acid and oxygen in the presence of a solid catalyst;
DABE is obtained by hydrogenating DABE. Conventionally, to hydrogenate this DABE, palladium,
Methods have been used to carry out the reaction in the liquid phase using catalysts mainly composed of nickel, etc.
In these methods, in addition to the main reaction that produces DABE,
Because the side reaction that mainly produces butyl acetate also proceeds at the same time, in order to produce DABE industrially advantageously,
An extremely important issue was how to suppress this side reaction and carry out the reaction with good selectivity. The present inventors, while keeping in mind the above-mentioned problems, have conducted extensive studies on the liquid phase hydrogenation reaction of DABE using a catalyst containing palladium as the main component. It was discovered that carbon, which has not been described, dramatically increases the reaction rate per palladium compared to other common carriers such as alumina, silica, diatomaceous earth, and pumice. Furthermore, completely unexpectedly, by selecting the concentration of the catalyst for the raw material DABE in a specific range that is much smaller than the amount generally used, the by-product of butyl acetate is suppressed, and therefore DABE can be selectively obtained. We have found that this effect becomes more pronounced by specifying the conditions such as temperature and pressure for the hydrogenation reaction. That is, by using carbon as a carrier, using a palladium catalyst at a specific low concentration of DABE, and by adopting specific hydrogenation reaction conditions, surprisingly, extremely high selectivity and large reaction rate were obtained for DABE.
The present invention was achieved based on the knowledge that a hydrogenation reaction occurs. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The catalyst used in the present invention is a palladium catalyst with carbon as a carrier, and some amount of other elements may be added. The feature of this invention is that palladium
The problem is the concentration relative to DABE, not the concentration of the support including the catalyst relative to DABE, nor the content of the catalyst in the support.Therefore, the content of palladium relative to the support is not particularly limited, but per palladium. From the viewpoint of high reaction rate, preferably 0.1 to 15% by weight, more preferably 1 to 10% by weight of palladium catalyst is used. The type of carbon used as the carrier is not particularly limited, but commonly used activated carbon is preferred. Activated carbon has a particle size of 20~
Powder form in the range of 200 mesh and surface area between 200 and 1500
m 2 /g is preferably used. There is a characteristic relationship between the concentration of palladium supported on carbon used as a catalyst for DABE and the selectivity of the reaction. That is,
As the catalyst concentration for DABE increases
The selectivity of the reaction to DABE over DABE decreases,
In particular, when the concentration of palladium metal exceeds 1 x 10 -1 % by weight relative to diacetoxybutene, the selectivity decreases markedly. The concentration of palladium metal is 1×
When the amount is 10 -1 % by weight or less, it is possible to carry out the reaction with high selectivity, and DABE can be selectively produced. On the other hand, if the concentration of palladium metal relative to DABE is extremely low, less than 1×10 -6 weight %, the reaction rate is so low that it is almost impossible to carry out the reaction industrially. When hydrogenating DABE to produce DABA, a catalyst is added so that the palladium metal concentration is 1 x 10-6 to 1 x 10-1 % by weight, preferably 5 x 10-4 to 5 x 10-2 % by weight. If a liquid phase reaction is carried out using a catalyst suspended in a reaction solution, the reaction can be carried out industrially with good selectivity. Therefore, according to the method of the present invention, the amount of palladium used for DABE can be extremely reduced compared to the amount of palladium used in conventional DABE hydrogenation methods, and this is advantageous for increasing the selectivity. It is. Palladium is an expensive precious metal, and a significant reduction in its usage can be said to be extremely effective from an industrial standpoint. The method for preparing the catalyst used in the method of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be prepared by various commonly used methods. For example, a predetermined amount of activated carbon powder (60 to 80 mesh) is sprinkled with a predetermined amount of a dilute hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride (0.1 Pd mol/l), evaporated to dryness at a temperature of about 80°C, and then hydrogenated. It can be adjusted by reduction at a temperature of 200° C. with a stream of air. Furthermore, commercially available palladium catalysts supported on carbon can also be used. In the hydrogenation method of DABE in the method of the present invention, the reaction temperature is 0 to 180°C, and the reaction pressure is normal pressure to 100°C.
Although a good selectivity can be obtained within the range of Kg/cm 2 , the selectivity can be further improved by limiting the reaction temperature and pressure. That is, the reaction temperature is
The temperature is preferably 150°C or lower, particularly in the range of 40 to 120°C, and the reaction pressure is preferably in the range of 10 to 50 Kg/ cm2 , and DABE can be hydrogenated with extremely high selectivity within these ranges. can do. The reaction raw materials used in the method of the present invention are pure
DABE or a diluted version of DABE with a solvent may also be used. Therefore, it may be a product obtained by separating and concentrating 1,4DABE from the product obtained by the acetoxylation reaction of butadiene, or a product containing reactants and by-products in the acetoxylation reaction, and may be a product containing butadiene, water, acetic acid, and DABE. It may contain various isomers, high-boiling substances with high molecular weights, aldehydes such as crotonaldehyde, and the like. Of course, it may also contain the reaction products DABE and butyl acetate. Hydrogen, which is the other raw material for the reaction, does not necessarily have to be pure; hydrogen diluted with an inert gas, saturated hydrocarbon gas, etc. can also be used. In that case, the hydrogen content is not particularly limited, and is preferably 10% by volume or more, particularly 50% by volume or more. The reaction method is not particularly limited as long as it is a liquid phase reaction in which a catalyst is suspended in a reaction liquid.
That is, it can be applied regardless of the difference between batch type and flow type, the shape of the reactor, the flow type, and the gas-liquid mixing type. As described above, when DABE is hydrogenated according to the method of the present invention, DABA can be obtained with extremely high selectivity, and DABA can be produced industrially advantageously. Next, the method of the present invention will be specifically explained using examples. Example 1 52g of reaction raw material containing 96% by weight of 1,4DABE,

The entire reaction system was maintained at 70° C., the total pressure was set to 40 Kg/cm 2 using hydrogen having a purity of 99% by volume, and the reaction was started with stirring at a rotational speed of 1000 rpm. As a result, after the reaction starts
It showed a conversion rate of 68% in 10 minutes, and the selectivity at this time was
It was 99%. The selectivity after 100% conversion (result 1 hour after the start of the reaction) was also 99%. The palladium concentration for DABE in this experiment was 1.9×
It was 10 -3 % by weight. Comparative Example 1 The same procedure as Example 1 was carried out except that 100 mg of alumina powder supporting 1% by weight of catalyst palladium was used.
