[Formula] (In the formula, R 1 represents hydrogen or a methyl group.) Alkyleneimine represented by the general formula R 2 NH 2 (In the formula, R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.) A monoalkylamine represented by is used in a ratio of 2 to 5 moles of the latter to 1 mole of the former, and the mixture is heated at 90 to 150°C in a monohydric lower aliphatic alcohol solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst in a closed system. It is characterized in that the reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of . The reaction is carried out using an acid catalyst, a monoalkylamine, and a monovalent aliphatic lower alcohol.
Adding the alkyleneimine continuously or intermittently to the mixture maintained at a temperature in the range of 90-150°C,
The yield of N-alkyl alkylene diamine can be dramatically increased by maintaining the reaction system at the temperature after the completion of the addition, if necessary. The alkylene imine in the present invention is represented by the above general formula, and includes, for example, ethyleneimine and propylene imine, which can be used singly or as a mixture of two. The monoalkylamine is represented by the above general formula, and includes, for example, monomethylamine, monoethylamine, monopropylamine, etc., and can be used singly or as a mixture of two or more. As the acid catalyst, various acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid can be mentioned, and hydrochloric acid is particularly preferred and can be used in an amount of 1 to 5 mol % based on the alkylene imine. The solvent in the present invention is a monovalent aliphatic lower alcohol, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, etc. having 1 to 1 carbon atoms.
Among them, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and the like are particularly preferred. The amount of solvent to be used is not particularly limited as long as it functions as a reaction solvent, and may be, for example, 20 to 50 wt% based on the total amount of the reactants. The use of a solvent is essential; if it is not used, the yield of the target product will decrease. The reaction between the alkyleneimine and the monoalkylamine is carried out in a closed system, i.e. under spontaneous pressure or external pressure, at a reaction temperature of 90-150°C, preferably
It can be carried out by keeping the temperature in the range of 100 to 130°C.
At this time, if the reaction temperature is set to a low temperature below 90°C, the reaction rate will be slow, and conversely, if the reaction temperature is set to a low temperature exceeding 150°C, it will not contribute to improving the yield and will only unnecessarily increase the system pressure, making it technically meaningless. It is something without. The ratio of both in the total amount of reactants used is 2 to 1 mole of monoalkylamine to 1 mole of alkyleneimine.
A ratio of 5 moles is suitable. When the ratio is less than 2, reaction by-products increase and the yield of the target product decreases, while when it exceeds 5, the amount of monoalkylamine recovered increases, which is not industrially advantageous. Then, the reactant, acid catalyst, and solvent can be charged into a reactor all at once and reacted, or the reactant can be added continuously or intermittently to a solvent containing an acid catalyst and kept at a temperature in the range of 90 to 150 °C. The desired product can be obtained by adding an alkyleneimine continuously or intermittently to a mixture consisting of an acid catalyst, a monoalkylamine, and a solvent kept at a temperature in the range of 90 to 150°C. Accordingly, the yield of the target product can be dramatically increased by maintaining the reaction system at the temperature and allowing the reaction to occur even after the completion of the addition. The N-alkylalkylene diamine can be easily separated from the reaction product following a fractional distillation procedure. According to the production method of the present invention, N-alkylalkylene diamine can be produced in high yield through simple production steps. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 An autoclave with a capacity of 500 c.c. was charged with 90 g of methyl alcohol, 155 g (5 moles) of monomethylamine, and 73 g of a 15 wt % hydrochloric acid/methyl alcohol solution, and the autoclave was sealed. Raise and maintain the temperature at 120℃, under stirring,
43 g (1 mol) of ethyleneimine was added over 1 hour, and after the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for an additional 2 hours at a temperature of 120°C. The pressure in the reaction system during this time was 8 Kg/cm 2 . After cooling, the reaction product was taken out and analyzed by gas chromatography, and it was found that the yield of N-methylethylenediamine was the same as that of ethyleneimine.
It was 93 mol%. The reaction product was distilled to obtain a fraction with a boiling point of 116°C.
The fraction was confirmed to be N-methylethylenediamine by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and NMR. Example 2 The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 except that monoethylamine was used instead of monomethylamine. The yield of N-ethylethylenediamine was 80 mol%. Example 3 The reaction was carried out in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 1, except that propylene imine was used instead of ethylene imine. The yield of N-methylpropylene diamine was 68 mol%. Examples 4 to 7 The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the reaction conditions shown in Table 1 were used. The yield of N-methylethylenediamine was as shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 1 90 g of water and 155 g of monomethylamine were charged into a 500 c.c. four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, reflux condenser, stirrer and dropping device. The temperature was raised to and maintained at 60 to 70°C, and 43 g of ethyleneimine was added over 1 hour while stirring, and after the addition was completed, stirring was continued at a temperature of 60 to 70°C for 2 hours. The yield of N-methylethylenediamine was 30 mol%. Comparative Example 2 The reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the autoclave was an open system and the reaction temperature was set to reflux temperature. The yield was as shown in Table 1.
