【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、可塑剤、造核剤、プロセスオイル、動力伝達用オイル及び熱媒体等に好適な脂環式化合物の製造法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、各種熱可塑性樹脂の可塑性付与のために、一次可塑剤としてフタル酸エステル、脂肪族二塩基酸エステル、塩素化パラフィン、二次可塑剤としてポリエステル系可塑剤、エポキシ系可塑剤、リン酸エステル系可塑剤、トリメリット酸系可塑剤等が使用されてきた。しかし従来の一次可塑剤には一長一短があり、相溶性、耐熱性、耐寒性、耐ブリード性、耐候性を同時に満足できる材料がなかった。
特公昭61−46014号公報にはポリオレフィン用の可塑剤として3個または4個のシクロヘキシル環を有する可塑剤の使用例が記載されている。また自動車等の動力伝達用オイルとしては動作温度範囲で液体であること、長期間の熱安定性及び酸化安定性に優れること、動力伝達性能が優れていることが求められ、特公昭8−2329号公報にはα−メチルスチレンを重合して得られるトリアリールアルカン及びテトラアリールアルカンの核水添物が記載されている。
このように可塑剤や動力伝達用オイルには一般的にシクロヘキサン環等の複数の脂環構造を有する化合物が使用されてきた。また熱媒体用のオイルも動力伝達用オイルと同様な化合物が使用されている。
【0003】
これらシクロヘキサン環を数個有する化合物のなかでヒドロインダン型又はインデンの構造を有する化合物はその剛直な構造からシクロヘキサン環を線状に有する化合物よりも高い動力伝達性能や可塑剤としての耐熱性が期待できる。しかしながら特公昭8−23029号公報、Polymer Journal、Vol.13、No.10、P947等に記載されているようにヒドロインダン型又はインデン構造を持つα−メチルスチレン三量体の核水添物を高収率で合成する方法がなかった。特公平8−23029号公報に記載ではヒドロインダン構造を有するα−メチルスチレン類三量体の収率は約3%から6%である。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
請求項1、2及び3記載の発明は、目的とする脂環式化合物を高収率、高純度で製造することができる脂環式化合物の製造法を提供するものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、酸のα−メチルスチレン類に対するモル比が0.0005〜0.1となるようにして、酸を含む有機溶媒中にα−メチルスチレン類を滴下し、反応温度−15〜30℃でα−メチルスチレン類を三量化してα−メチルスチレン類の三量体を得、さらに得られたα−メチルスチレン類の三量体の芳香環に水素添加を行なうことを特徴とする一般式(I)

(式中、R1、R2及びR3は各々独立に炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示し、R1、R2及びR3は同一でも異なっていてもよく、p及びrは各々独立に0〜5の整数であり、qは0〜4の整数である)
で表される脂環式化合物の製造法に関する。

また、本発明は、酸がAlCl3である前記脂環式化合物の製造法に関する。 また、本発明は、水素添加において触媒として安定化ニッケル又はラネーニッケルを用い、反応温度140℃〜220℃で水素添加を行なう前記脂環式化合物の製造法に関する。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明におけるα−メチルスチレン類は、下記一般式(II)で表される化合物である。

(式中、R炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示し複数のRは同一でも異なっていてもよく、nは0〜5の整数である)

また、α−メチルスチレン類の三量体は、下記の一般式(III)で表される化合物である。
【化4】
Figure 0004240239
(式中、R1、R2及びR3は、各々独立に炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を示し、これらは同一でも異なっていてもよく、p及びrは各々独立に0〜5の整数であり、qは0〜4の整数である)
【0009】
具体的には、α−メチルスチレン類としては、例えば、α−メチルスチレン、m−又はp−メチル−α−メチルスチレン、m−又はp−エチル−α−メチルスチレン、m−又はp−イソプロピル−α−メチルスチレン等が挙げられ、これらを出発原料としてα−メチルスチレン類の三量体を合成する。原料にα−メチルスチレンを使用すると、その三量体としての1,3−ジメチル−3−フェニル−1−(2−メチル−2−フェニルプロピル)インダン体が得られる。
【0010】
本発明において、α−メチルスチレン類の三量体の合成に用いられる酸としては、例えば、AlCl3、AlCl3−CH3NO2、SnCl4、TiCl4、Al23−TiO2、SiO2−Al23、TiO2−ZrO2等のルイス酸、H2SO4、トリクロロ酢酸等のプロトン酸、酸性白土、活性白土、モンモリオナイト型粘土などを使用することができるが、純率、純度の点からルイス酸が好ましく、中でもAlCl3が好ましい。AlCl3は単体のままで用いてもよいが、CH3NO2(ニトロメタン)等に均一に溶解してから用いると、反応系が均一となり好ましい。
【0011】
使用する酸の量は、α−メチルスチレン類に対するモル比が0.0005〜0.1であることが必要であり、0.001〜0.05であることが好ましく、0.002〜0.01であることがより好ましい。モル比が0.0005未満の場合は反応速度が遅く、反応率が大きく低下する。一方、モル比が0.1を超えると、α−メチルスチレン類の三量体の収率が低下する。
三量化の反応温度は、−15〜30℃とすることが必要であり、−10〜20℃とすることが好ましく、−5〜10℃とすることがより好ましい。反応温度が−15℃未満であると、α−メチルスチレン類の四量体以上のオリゴマーの生成量が増え、三量体の収率が低下する。一方、反応温度が30℃を超えるとα−メチルスチレン類の二量体の生成量が増え、三量体の収率が低下する。
また、三量化の反応時間は、0.25〜5時間程度である。
【0012】
本発明においては、まず三量化の触媒となる酸を有機溶媒中に分散あるいは溶解し、ここにα−メチルスチレン類、あるいは有機溶媒にα−メチルスチレン類を溶解したものを滴下し、反応させることが必須である。酸とα−メチルスチレン類を有機溶媒中で同時に混合したり、α−メチルスチレン類の中にあるいは有機溶媒にα−メチルスチレンを溶解したものの中に、酸あるいは酸を有機溶剤に分散あるいは溶解したものを滴下すると、α−メチルスチレン類の三量体の収率が低くなり、α−メチルスチレン類の三量体を水素添加(核水添)して得られる前記一般式(I)で表される脂環式化合物の収率が低下する。
【0013】
本発明における有機溶媒としては、石油エーテル、ヘキサン、メチルシクロヘキサン等の飽和脂肪族炭化水素、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン等の芳香族炭化水素、ジエチルエーテル、ジブチルエーテル、テトラヒドロフラン等のエーテル類などが挙げられる。
【0014】
α−メチルスチレン類の三量体の芳香環へ水素添加(核水添)を行う際、触媒を使用できる。水素添加の触媒として、例えば、ルテニウム−カーボン、安定化ニッケル、ラネーニッケル、ラネーニッケル−モリブデン、ニッケル珪藻土、白金、白金−アルミナ、ロジウム、ロジウム−アルミナ等の触媒を使用することができるが、収率、純度の点から安定化ニッケル及びラネーニッケルが好ましい。安定化ニッケルは、例えば、堺化学工業(株)から商品名、安定化ニッケル触媒;SN−110、SN−150、SN−250、SN−750、SN−300、ST−100等として商業的に入手できる。また、ラネーニッケルは、例えば、デグッサ社から商品名、FB−AMC等として商業的に入手できる。
触媒を使用する場合、その使用量はα−メチルスチレン類の三量体に対して0.1〜5.0重量%とすることが好ましく、0.25〜2.0重量%とすることがより好ましい。この触媒の使用量が0.1重量%未満では反応時間が長くなる傾向があり、5重量%を超えると副成物が増加する傾向がある。
水素添加の反応温度は140℃〜220℃とすることが好ましく、160℃〜200℃とすることがより好ましい。220℃を超えると副成物が増加する傾向があり、140℃未満では反応時間が長くなる傾向がある。
【0015】
水素添加の反応圧力は4.90×105〜1.47×107Paとすることが好ましく、1.96×106〜9.81×106Paとすることがより好ましい。反応圧力が4.90×105Pa未満では副成物が増加する傾向があり、反応時間が長くなる傾向がある。反応圧力は1.47×107Paを超えると量産性が困難となる傾向がある。水素添加の反応時間は0.5〜20時間とすることが好ましく、1〜10時間とすることがより好ましい。反応時間が0.5時間未満では核水添が不充分となる傾向があり、20時間を超えても収率が向上しない傾向がある。
【0016】
このようにして得られた一般式(I)で表される脂環式化合物は、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、ポリアクリルニトリル、ポリエステル、ポリアミド、ABS樹脂、ポリアセタール、ポリフェニレンエーテル、ポリカーボネート、ポリウレタン、メタクリル樹脂また各種熱可塑性樹脂の可塑剤として好適である。
【0017】
また、本発明の製造法で得られる脂環式化合物は、−40℃〜140℃の広い温度範囲で性状が安定(液体など)しており、耐熱性、耐寒性、酸化安定性、耐候性の向上に有利な化合物であり、射出成形時のプロセスオイル、熱媒体や動力伝達用オイルとしても好適である。

請求項1、2及び3記載の脂環式化合物の製造法は、目的とする脂環式化合物を高収率、高純度で製造することのできるものである。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing an alicyclic compound suitable for a plasticizer, a nucleating agent, a process oil, a power transmission oil, a heat medium and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, phthalate ester, aliphatic dibasic acid ester, chlorinated paraffin as primary plasticizer, polyester plasticizer, epoxy plasticizer, phosphate ester as secondary plasticizer for imparting plasticity to various thermoplastic resins Plasticizers, trimellitic acid plasticizers, and the like have been used. However, conventional primary plasticizers have advantages and disadvantages, and there is no material that can simultaneously satisfy compatibility, heat resistance, cold resistance, bleed resistance, and weather resistance.
Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 61-46014 describes use examples of plasticizers having 3 or 4 cyclohexyl rings as plasticizers for polyolefins. Further, power transmission oil for automobiles and the like is required to be liquid in the operating temperature range, excellent in long-term thermal stability and oxidation stability, and excellent in power transmission performance. The publication describes a nuclear hydrogenated product of triarylalkane and tetraarylalkane obtained by polymerizing α-methylstyrene.
As described above, compounds having a plurality of alicyclic structures such as cyclohexane rings have generally been used for plasticizers and power transmission oils. Also, the same oil as the power transmission oil is used for the heat medium oil.
[0003]
Among these compounds having several cyclohexane rings, compounds having a hydroindane type or indene structure are expected to have higher power transmission performance and heat resistance as a plasticizer than compounds having a cyclohexane ring in a linear form due to its rigid structure. it can. However, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-23029, Polymer Journal, Vol. 13, No. 10, P947, etc., a nuclear hydrogenated product of α-methylstyrene trimer having a hydroindane type or indene structure is used. There was no way to synthesize in high yield. In Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-23029, the yield of α-methylstyrene trimer having a hydroindane structure is about 3% to 6%.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, α-methylstyrenes are dropped into an organic solvent containing an acid so that the molar ratio of acid to α-methylstyrene is 0.0005 to 0.1, and the reaction temperature is 15 to 30. The α-methylstyrenes are trimerized at a temperature of ℃ to obtain α-methylstyrenes trimer, and the aromatic ring of the resulting α-methylstyrenes trimer is hydrogenated. Formula (I)

It relates to the manufacturing method of the alicyclic compound represented by these.
[0006]
The present invention also relates to a method for producing the alicyclic compound, wherein the acid is AlCl 3 . Moreover, this invention relates to the manufacturing method of the said alicyclic compound which uses hydrogenation at reaction temperature 140-220 degreeC, using stabilized nickel or Raney nickel as a catalyst in hydrogenation.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The α-methylstyrenes in the present invention are compounds represented by the following general formula (II).
Figure 0004240239
[Chemical 3]
Figure 0004240239
(In the formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a plurality of R may be the same or different, and n is an integer of 0 to 5)
[0008]
Moreover, the trimer of α-methylstyrenes is a compound represented by the following general formula (III).
[Formula 4]
Figure 0004240239
Wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which may be the same or different, and p and r are each independently an integer of 0 to 5 And q is an integer of 0 to 4)
[0009]
Specific examples of the α-methylstyrenes include α-methylstyrene, m- or p-methyl-α-methylstyrene, m- or p-ethyl-α-methylstyrene, m- or p-isopropyl. -Α-methylstyrene and the like are mentioned, and a trimer of α-methylstyrenes is synthesized using these as starting materials. When α-methylstyrene is used as a raw material, 1,3-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1- (2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl) indane as a trimer is obtained.
[0010]
In the present invention, examples of acids used for the synthesis of α-methylstyrene trimers include AlCl 3 , AlCl 3 —CH 3 NO 2 , SnCl 4 , TiCl 4 , Al 2 O 3 —TiO 2 , SiO 2 . Lewis acids such as 2- Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 —ZrO 2 , proton acids such as H 2 SO 4 and trichloroacetic acid, acidic clay, activated clay, montmorillonite type clay and the like can be used. Lewis acid is preferable from the viewpoint of the ratio and purity, and AlCl 3 is particularly preferable. AlCl 3 may be used as it is, but if it is used after it is uniformly dissolved in CH 3 NO 2 (nitromethane) or the like, the reaction system becomes uniform, which is preferable.
[0011]
The amount of the acid to be used must be such that the molar ratio with respect to α-methylstyrenes is 0.0005 to 0.1, preferably 0.001 to 0.05, and 0.002 to 0.00. More preferably, it is 01. When the molar ratio is less than 0.0005, the reaction rate is slow and the reaction rate is greatly reduced. On the other hand, when the molar ratio exceeds 0.1, the yield of trimers of α-methylstyrenes decreases.
The trimerization reaction temperature is required to be −15 to 30 ° C., preferably −10 to 20 ° C., and more preferably −5 to 10 ° C. When the reaction temperature is less than −15 ° C., the amount of oligomers that are tetramers or more of α-methylstyrenes increases, and the yield of trimers decreases. On the other hand, when reaction temperature exceeds 30 degreeC, the production amount of the dimer of (alpha) -methylstyrenes will increase and the yield of a trimer will fall.
The trimerization reaction time is about 0.25 to 5 hours.
[0012]
In the present invention, first, an acid serving as a trimerization catalyst is dispersed or dissolved in an organic solvent, and α-methylstyrenes or those in which α-methylstyrenes are dissolved in an organic solvent are dropped and reacted. It is essential. Acid or α-methylstyrenes are mixed in an organic solvent at the same time, or an acid or acid is dispersed or dissolved in an α-methylstyrenes or a solution in which α-methylstyrene is dissolved in an organic solvent. When the product is added dropwise, the yield of α-methylstyrenes trimer decreases, and the general formula (I) obtained by hydrogenation (nuclear hydrogenation) of the trimer of α-methylstyrenes. The yield of the represented alicyclic compound is reduced.
[0013]

A catalyst can be used when hydrogenation (nuclear hydrogenation) is performed on an aromatic ring of a trimer of α-methylstyrenes. As a catalyst for hydrogenation, for example, a catalyst such as ruthenium-carbon, stabilized nickel, Raney nickel, Raney nickel-molybdenum, nickel diatomaceous earth, platinum, platinum-alumina, rhodium, rhodium-alumina, etc. can be used. Stabilized nickel and Raney nickel are preferred from the standpoint of purity. Stabilized nickel is commercially available from Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. under the trade name, stabilized nickel catalyst; SN-110, SN-150, SN-250, SN-750, SN-300, ST-100, etc. Available. Raney nickel is commercially available from Degussa, for example, under the trade name, FB-AMC.
When a catalyst is used, the amount used is preferably 0.1 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 0.25 to 2.0% by weight, based on the trimer of α-methylstyrenes. More preferred. If the amount of the catalyst used is less than 0.1% by weight, the reaction time tends to be long, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, the by-products tend to increase.
The reaction temperature for hydrogenation is preferably 140 ° C. to 220 ° C., more preferably 160 ° C. to 200 ° C. If it exceeds 220 ° C, by-products tend to increase, and if it is less than 140 ° C, the reaction time tends to be long.
[0015]
The reaction pressure for hydrogenation is preferably 4.90 × 10 5 to 1.47 × 10 7 Pa, more preferably 1.96 × 10 6 to 9.81 × 10 6 Pa. When the reaction pressure is less than 4.90 × 10 5 Pa, by-products tend to increase and the reaction time tends to be long. If the reaction pressure exceeds 1.47 × 10 7 Pa, mass productivity tends to be difficult. The reaction time for hydrogenation is preferably 0.5 to 20 hours, more preferably 1 to 10 hours. If the reaction time is less than 0.5 hours, the nuclear hydrogenation tends to be insufficient, and if it exceeds 20 hours, the yield tends not to improve.
