Phenylphosphonic acid derivative and production process therefor

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate, a production process therefor and a process for producing a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid.
2. Related Art
Only dimethyl 2,3-dimethoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate represented by the following formula (V) is known as a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate. ##STR1## A process for producing this comprises obtaining 1,2-dimethoxycarbonyl-3-dimethoxyphosphonocyclohexa-1,4-diene as an intermediate through a Diels-Alder reaction between 1-(1,3-butadienyl)phosphonic acid and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and aromatizing the obtained intermediate into dimethyl 2,3-dimethoxycarbonylphenyl phosphonate of interest using nitrobenzene and an activated carbon supported palladium catalyst. Although the Diels-Alder reaction is very interesting, it is not preferred and can not: be employed for the industrial-scale production of dimethyl 2,3-dimethoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate because of its low reaction yield (Journal of Organic Chemistry, vol.35, pp.1691, 19703.
Dialkyl monoalkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonates obtained by an Arbuzov reaction are known. A process for producing these comprises reacting a trialkyl phosphite with a monoalkoxy carbonylphenyl halide using nickel chloride as a catalyst at a reaction temperature of 150.degree. to 160.degree. C. �Chem. Ber., vol.103, pp.2428, 1970, Chem. Rev. vol.81, pp.415, 1981 for the outline of the Arbuzov reaction!. However, there are unknown dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonates produced by an Arbuzov reaction using a dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide.
As a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid is known o-dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid represented by the following formula (VI). ##STR2##
A process for producing this comprises reacting o-xylene with phosphorus pentaoxide in an autoclave at a temperature of 270.degree. C., reacting phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentaoxide with the reaction product from which unreacted o-xylene has been removed to obtain o-dimethylphenylphosphonyl dichloride (isomer mixture). This o-dimethylphenylphosphonyl dichloride is chlorinated by exposure to ultraviolet light to obtain a chlorinated product thereof. An aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide is: added to this chlorinated product to oxidize it while the reaction solution is maintained alkaline by an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide and an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate, whereby o-dicarboxylphenylphosphonic acid is obtained �refer to the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 2,834,804!.
However, it cannot be said that this process is a practical production process because the obtained o-dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid is an isomer mixture, potassium permanganate must be treated after completion of the reaction, and special reaction devices such as a high-temperature and high pressure autoclave and a photochemical reaction device are required.
There is known a process for producing a substituted phenylphosphonic acid by hydrolyzing a dialkyl monoalkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate obtained by an Arbuzov reaction with hydrochloric acid �Chem. Ber. vol.103, pp.2428, 1970!. However, there is unknown a process for producing a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid by hydrolyzing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate through an Arbuzov reaction using a dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide.
The inventors of the present invention have paid attention to dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonates which are useful as a resin modifier and have conducted intensive studies on dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonates and a production process therefor. As a result, they have synthesized a novel dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate and have found a process for producing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate and a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid in high yield at a low cost. Thus, they have accomplished the present invention.
In the present invention, it has been found that a supported catalyst is excellent in yield and recovery as a catalyst.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The production process of the present invention will be described in detail.
The process for producing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate obtained by an Arbuzov reaction is first described hereinunder.
The dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide usable in the production process of the present invention is represented by the following general formula (II): ##STR8## wherein R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each selected from the group consisting of alkoxycarbonyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, X is a halogeno group, and R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and X are substituted at arbitrarily selected different positions on a benzene ring. Illustrative examples of the dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide include dimethyl 5-chloroisophthalate, dimethyl 5-bromoisophthalate, dimethyl 5-iodoisophthalate, diethyl 5-chloroisophthalate, diethyl 5-bromoisophthalate, diethyl 5-iodoisophthalate, di-n-propyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-i-propyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-butyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-s-butyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-t-butyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-pentyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-t-pentyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-hexyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-hexyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-heptyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-octyl 5-bromoisophthalate, di-n-nonyl 5-bromoisophthalate, dimethyl 2-chloroterephthalate, dimethyl 2-bromoterephthalate, dimethyl 2-iodoterephthalate, diethyl 2-chloroterephthalate, diethyl 2-bromoterephthalate, diethyl 2-iodoterephthalate, di-n-propyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-i-propyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-butyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-s-butyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-t-butyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-pentyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-t-pentyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-hexyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-hexyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-heptyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-octyl 2-bromoterephthalate, di-n-nonyl 2-bromoterephthalate, dimethyl 3-bromophthalate, diethyl 3-bromophthalate, di-n-propyl 3-bromophthalate, di-i-propyl 3-bromophthalate, di-n-butyl 3-bromophthalate, di-s-butyl 3-bromophthalate, di-t-butyl 3-bromophthalate, dimethyl 4-bromophthalate, diethyl 4-bromophthalate, di-n-propyl 4-bromophthalate, di-i-propyl 4-bromophthalate, di-n-butyl 4-bromophthalate, di-s-butyl 4-bromophthalate, di-t-butyl 4-bromophthalate and the like. When they are compared with one another in terms of reactivity, iodides have higher reactivity than bromides which have higher reactivity than chlorides. Iodides have the highest reaction rate. From a view point of the production costs of halides, there are a few preferred processes for halogenating dialkyl phthalates. Iodides are more expensive than bromides which are more expensive than chlorides. From viewpoints of reactivity and costs which run counter to each other, bromides are preferred and dialkoxycarbonylphenyl bromide is particularly preferred.
The trialkyl phosphite usable in the production process of the present invention is represented by the following general formula (III):
(R.sup.6 O).sub.3 P (III)
wherein R.sup.6 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Illustrative examples of the trialkyl phosphite include trimethyl phosphite, triethyl phosphite, tri-n-propyl phosphite, tri-i-propyl phosphite, tri-n-butyl phosphite, tri-s-butyl phosphite, tri-t-butyl phosphite, tri-n-pentyl phosphite, tri-i-pentyl phosphite, tri-t-pentyl phosphite, tri-n-hexyl phosphite, tri-n-heptyl phosphite, tri-n-octyl phosphite, tri-n-nonyl phosphite, tri-n-decyl phosphite and the like.
Out of these, trimethyl phosphite has a boiling point of 120.degree. C. or lower which is lower than other phosphorous acid compounds. Therefore, as it cannot be heated up to a temperature of 120.degree. C. which is required to carry out a reaction at normal pressure, the reaction must be carried out under pressure. Other phosphorous acid compounds can be heated up to a temperature of 120.degree. C. at normal pressure and a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate can be obtained in high yield.
The catalyst usable in the production process of the present invention is a catalyst comprising an element of group VIII of the periodic table. Preferred examples of the catalyst include palladium catalysts, nickel catalysts and cobalt catalysts which comprise elements of group VIII of the periodic table. Palladium catalysts and nickel catalyst are more preferred and palladium catalysts are the most preferred. Copper catalysts may be used but inferior to catalysts comprising elements of group VIII of the periodic table in catalytic performance.
A preferred catalyst can be selected according to the type of the dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide. When the raw material was dialkyl 5-halogenoisophthalate, palladium catalysts were almost equivalent to nickel catalysts which were superior to cobalt catalysts in the yield of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate of interest. It has been found that palladium catalysts and nickel catalysts are preferred. When the raw material was dialkyl 2-halogenoterephthalate, palladium catalysts were superior to nickel catalysts which were superior to cobalt catalysts in the yield of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate of interest. It has been found that palladium catalysts are preferred.
The elements of these catalysts are preferably metals, metal oxides, inorganic acid salts, organic acid salts, O-valent complexes, alloys thereof and supported catalysts thereof.
Specific example of palladium catalysts include metal catalysts such as palladium black; inorganic acid salt catalysts such as palladium chloride, palladium bromide, palladium iodide, palladium nitrate and palladium sulfate; organic acid salt catalysts such as palladium formate and palladium acetate; O-valent complex catalysts such as tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium and palladium acetyl acetonate; supported catalysts, particularly supported metal catalysts such as activated carbon supported palladium catalyst, alumina supported palladium catalyst, zeolite supported palladium catalyst, diatomaceous earth supported palladium catalyst and ion exchange resin supported palladium catalyst; and the like.
Specific example of nickel catalysts include metal catalysts such as nickel powder, Raney nickel and nickel-aluminum alloy; inorganic acid salt catalysts such as nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel iodide, nickel nitrate and nickel sulfate; organic acid salt catalysts such as nickel formate and nickel acetate; O-valent complex catalysts such as tetrakistriphenylphosphine nickel and nickel acetyl acetonate; supported catalysts, particularly supported metal catalysts such as activated carbon supported nickel catalyst, alumina supported nickel catalyst, zeolite supported nickel catalyst, diatomaceous earth supported nickel catalyst and ion exchange resin supported nickel catalyst; and the like.
Cobalt catalysts include inorganic acid salt catalysts such as cobalt chloride, cobalt bromide, cobalt iodide, cobalt nitrate and cobalt sulfate; organic acid salt catalysts such as cobalt formate and cobalt acetate; O-valent complex catalysts such as cobalt acetyl acetonate; supported catalysts, particularly supported metal catalysts such as alumina supported cobalt catalyst and diatomaceous earth supported cobalt catalyst; and the like.
Supported catalysts produced by known methods have not been used as a catalyst in the Arbuzov reaction. The inventors of the present invention have studied supported catalysts (particularly supported metal catalysts) for the purpose of recover and reuse of a catalyst which are important for practical use and have found a supported catalyst from which a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate is obtained in high yield like an inorganic salt catalyst which has been used as a catalyst in the Arbuzov reaction. Further, they have confirmed that the supported catalyst can be reused.
Carriers for the supported catalysts include general diatomaceous earth, bentonite, bauxite, alundum, corundum, pumice, brick, celite, acid clay, activated carbon, magnesia, alumina, silica gel, silica alumina, titania, chromina, zinc oxide, thoria, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, magnesium carbonate, silicon carbide, zeolite, molecular sieve, ion exchange resins and the like. Out of these, activated carbon, alumina, silica gel, silica alumina and zeolite are preferred. Alumina, silica gel, silica alumina and zeolite are more preferred. Alumina is the most preferred.
The amount of the catalyst used in the production process of the present invention is preferably 0.01 to 30 mol %, more preferably 0.2 to 20 mol %, the most preferably 0.5 to 5 mol %, in terms of atoms of the element of group VIII of the periodic table of the catalyst based on 1 mole of the dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide as a raw material.
In the Arbuzov reaction, the catalyst has been used in an amount of 10 mol % in terms of the atoms of the element of group VIII of the periodic table or copper element of the catalyst based on 1 mole of the halide as a raw material in most cases. The present invention has succeeded in reducing the amount of a catalyst used to 1 mol % or less in terms of the atoms of an element of group VIII of the periodic table of the catalyst based on 1 mole of the halide by using a supported metal catalyst. Particularly, when a 5% palladium catalyst supported by alumina is used in an amount of 0.5 mol % in terms of the atoms of the palladium component of the catalyst based on 1 mole of the halide, a fixed quantity of a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate can be obtained. Further, it has been confirmed that even when a catalyst is used in an amount of 0.2 mol % in terms of the atoms of the palladium component of the catalyst based on 1 mole of the halide, a raw material conversion of 50% or more is obtained.
As described above, in the present invention, as a supported metal catalyst, particularly by using an alumina supported palladium catalyst, a reduction in the amount of the catalyst used and the reuse of the catalyst are made possible and an industrially advantageous process for producing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate can be provided.
Although the Arbuzov reaction can be carried out without a solvent in the production process of the present invention, it has been found that use of a solvent is effective in promoting the proceeding of the reaction when a reaction substrate, a raw material, is solid, and suppressing the production of a by-product to improve the selectivity of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate.
Any solvents can be used if they do not take part in the Arbuzov reaction directly. Preferred solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons and ethers.
Illustrative examples of the solvent include toluene, xylene, ethyl benzene, cumene, t-butylbenzene, di-i-propylbenzene, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1,2-diethoxyethane, 2-methoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 1,4-dioxane, 1,3-dioxane and the like.
Out of these, solvents having a boiling point of 150.degree. C. or lower can be used under pressure and solvents having a boiling point of 150.degree. C. or higher can be used at normal pressure. As a matter of course, solvents having a boiling point of 150.degree. C. or higher can be used under pressure. Out of these, preferred solvents which can be used at normal pressure include cumene, t-butylbenzene, di-i-propylbenzene, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether and the like.
The amount of the solvent used is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, based on 1 part by weight of the dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide as a raw material.
In the production process of the present invention, the Arbuzov reaction is carried out by heating. Since the reaction proceeds too slow at a temperature of 120.degree. C. or lower, the reaction temperature must be 120.degree. C. or higher. That is, the reaction temperature is preferably 120.degree. to 250.degree. C., more preferably 140.degree. to 220.degree. C., the most preferably 155.degree. to 220.degree. C.
The reaction time of the Arbuzov reaction in the production process of the present invention is such that the proceeding of the reaction can be tracked by the analysis of the reaction solution by gas chromatography or high-speed liquid chromatography. Therefore, the reaction end point of interest can be found by analysis such as gas chromatography or high-speed liquid chromatography.
The reaction time is generally 1 to 20 hours, preferably 1 to 10 hours from an industrial point of view.
The Arbuzov reaction in the production process of the present invention can be carried out at normal pressure or under pressure and in a batch or continuous manner.
As for a treatment after the Arbuzov reaction, the solvent, excessive or unreacted dialkoxycarbonylphenyl halide and excessive or unreacted trialkyl phosphite are recovered by distillation and then, a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate as the reaction product is purified and isolated by distillation, recrystallization, column chromatography and the like in accordance with a commonly used method.
A description is subsequently given of a process for producing a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid which is obtained by hydrolyzing the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate.
A hydrolytic reaction requires the presence of an acid or base.
Illustrative examples of the acid include inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; and organic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and trifluoroacetic acid. Out of these, hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid are particularly preferred.
Illustrative examples of the base include inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and barium hydroxide; and organic bases such as 1,5-diazabicyclo�4.3.0!non-5-en, 1,4-diazabicyclo�2.2.2!octane, 1,8-diazabicyclo�5.4.0!undec-7-en, and triethylamine. Out of these, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are particularly preferred.
The amount of an acid or base used is 2 to 40 equivalents, preferably 4 to 20 equivalents, based on the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate as a raw material.
A solvent can be used in the hydrolytic reaction. The solvent is water and an organic solvent. Illustrative examples of the organic solvent include ethers such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane and 1,4-dioxane; alcohols such as ethanol and n-butanol; and aliphatic hydrocarbon halides such as 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,2,3-trichloropropane. These organic solvents may be used alone or in admixture of two or more.
The amount of the solvent used in the hydrolytic reaction is 0 to 100 times, preferably 0 to 20 times the weight of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate as a raw material.
The hydrolytic reaction may be carried out at a temperature near the boiling point of the solvent but may be carried out in a hermetically sealed device under pressure. Therefore, the reaction temperature is 0.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. The reaction time is 1 to 24 hours, preferably 1 to 10 hours.
The hydrolytic reaction can be carried out at normal pressure or under pressure and in a batch or continuous manner.
As for a treatment after the hydrolytic reaction, when the treatment is carried out in the presence of an acid, a reacted solution or concentrated solution thereof is cooled to deposit crystals. The deposited crystals are filtrated and dried to obtain the dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid of interest. When the treatment is carried out in the presence of a base, an acid more than the equivalent of the base is added and then a reacted solution or concentrated solution thereof is treated to obtain the dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid of interest as in the case where the treatment is carried out in the presence of an acid.
When the dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid must be purified, its purity can be improved by a recrystallization method using a solvent such as methanol or dioxane.

203.4 g (0.8 mol) of bis(hydroxyethyl)terephthalate, 66 .45 g (0.40 mol) of terephthalic acid and 37.22 g (0.60 mol) of ethylene glycol were charged into a 500 ml glass reactor, and the mixture in the reactor was heated at 260.degree. C. for 3 hours under agitation in a nitrogen atmosphere at normal pressure to obtain an esterification reaction product.
The esterification reaction product, 18.25 g (74 mmol or 1.0 wt % in terms of phosphorus atoms based on produced polyester resin) of 2,5-dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid, 0.14 g (0.5 mmol) of antimony trioxide and 0.015 g (0.06 mmol) of a cobalt acetate tetrahydrate salt were charged into the reactor and heated at 270.degree. C. for 3 hours under agitation at normal pressure. These substances were stirred by gradually reducing the pressure to 40 mmHg and heated at 280.degree. C. for 1 hour to carry out polycondensation, and a polyester resin was obtained.
The intrinsic viscosity � .eta. ! of the obtained resin was measured at 25.degree. C. using an equivalent weight mixture of phenol and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane as a solvent. The intrinsic viscosity � .eta. ! was 0.72 dl/g.
The flame retardancy of the obtained resin was evaluated by molding it into a test sample and measuring the flame retard ancy index (oxygen index: OI) of the test sample in accordance with a flame retardancy test method (JIS D1201). The oxygen index indicating self-extinguishing properties must be at least 22. When higher flame retardancy is required, the oxygen index must be at least 27. The oxygen index of the obtained resin is 30.3 which means high flame retardancy.
Example 35
305.1 g (1.20 mols) of bis(hydroxyethyl)terephthalate and 26.58 g (1.0 wt % in terms of phosphorus atoms based on produced polyester resin) of diethyl 2,5-diethoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate were charged into a 500 ml glass reactor and heated under agitation in a nitrogen atmosphere. A reaction was carried out at 200.degree. C. for 2 hours while ethanol and the like produced were removed by distillation at normal pressure and polycondensation was carried out at 280.degree. C. for 1 hour by gradually reducing the pressure to 1 mmHg.
The obtained polyester resin had an intrinsic viscosity � .eta. ! of 0.70 dl/g and a oxygen index of 27.3.
When the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate of the present invention is added as a third component to be copolymerized at the time of polyester polymerization, polyamide polymerization and polyurethane polymerization, an alcohol is eliminated from the alkoxycarbonyl group of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate and the alkoxycarbonyl group is changed into a carboxylic acid group to be copolymerized. When the dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid is added as a third component to be copolymerized, it is copolymerized. As a result, a dialkoxyphosphono group or a phosphono group is introduced into the above polymer. When the introduced dialkoxyphosphono group is stable at the time of copolymerization, it remains as a dialkoxyphosphono group as it is. According to copolymerization conditions, an alcohol is further eliminated from the dialkoxyphosphono group and the group is changed into a phosphono group which serves as a crosslinking agent for a polymer. The phosphono group serves as a crosslinking agent for a polymer.
When the copolymer is processed with a fiber, the fiber having a residual dialkoxyphosphono group has improved cation dyeing properties because this functional group has cation exchange ability. A dialkoxyphosphono group which functions as a crosslinking agent in a fiber prevents shrinkage accompanied by a heat treatment and maintains the feeling of the fiber upon compounding of the fiber with other fibers.
The fiber and resin obtained from the copolymer have flame retardancy which is the characteristic property of a phosphorus-containing substance.
The dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate or dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid of the present invention can be kneaded with a resin as a flame retardant. Illustrative examples of the resin include polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, polyamide resins, epoxy resins, acrylic resins and the like. A non-halogen phosphorus-containing compound such as phenylphosphonate and a triazine derivative such as melamine cyanurate have recently been used in combination to provide flame retardancy to a styrene resin.
It has been found that, in the process of the present invention for producing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate, a supported metal catalyst which has not been used as a catalyst in the Arbuzov reaction is used to achieve a high yield like conventionally known catalysts. Further, it has been confirmed that the supported metal catalyst can be reused. Using an alumina supported palladium catalyst in particular, an industrially advantageous process for producing a dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate can be provided.
A process for producing a dicarboxyphenylphosphonic acid can be provided due to a hydrolytic reaction of the dialkyl dialkoxycarbonylphenylphosphonate.
