The invention relates to a process for doubly carbonylating allyl alcohols to the corresponding diesters, wherein a linear or branched allyl alcohol is reacted with a linear or branched alkanol (alcohol) with supply of CO and in the presence of a catalytic system composed of a palladium complex and at least one organic phosphorus ligand and in the presence of a hydrogen halide selected from HCl, HBr and HI.
There exist a multitude of methods that are of significance for the synthesis of specific esters. Allyl alcohol in particular is a sustainable organic compound which has already found wide use. For example, the direct carbonylation of the CO unit in order to synthesize β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives was studied for the first time in 1964 by Tsuji [J. Tsuji, J. Kiji, S. Imamura, M. Morikawa, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1964, 86, 4350-4353]. Here, various allyl compounds such as allyl chloride, allyl bromide, allyl ethers and allyl alcohol were converted successively to the corresponding β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic esters in the presence of palladium chloride under CO pressure. Allyl alcohol is used in industry particularly also for preparation of butane-1,4-diol by hydrogenation of the hydroformylation product thereof [a) J. C. Pittman, W. Honnick, J. Org. Chem. 1980, 45, 2132-2139; b) D. ARLT, (UMICORE AG & CO. KG), WO 2012/163831, 2012; c) W. S. Dubner, W. P.-s. Shum (ARCO Chemical Technology, L.P.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,225,509 B1, 2001; d) M.

G. Zajacek, W. P. Shum, (Arco Chemical Technology, L.P.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,127,584 B1, 2000].
In 1980, a catalyst system in combination of palladium halide such as PdCl2, PdBr2, a phosphine ligand, for example PPh3, P(p-Tol)3 and cocatalysts such as CaCl2 and CoCl2 was published for the carbonylation of allylic compounds, for example allyl chloride, allyl bromide and allyl alcohols [J. F. Knifton, J. Organomet. Chem. 1980, 188, 223-236]. In 1992, a similar study by Miura and co-workers in the presence of lithium chloride and titanium isopropoxide as reaction promoter was described as a further example of the carbonylation of allyl alcohol [K. Itoh, N. Hamaguchi, M. Miura, M. Nomura, J. Mol. Catal. 1992, 75, 117-122]. In 1997, the reaction in the presence of phenol was reported [T. Satoh, M. Ikeda, Y. Kushino, M. Miura, M. Nomura, J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 2662-2664]. In 2013, a more general and practical method for the alkoxycarbonylation of allyl alcohol was described by Beller et al. (Equation 1) [Q. Liu, L. Wu, H. Jiao, X. Fang, R. Jackstell, M. Belier, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 8064-8068]. The catalyst system consists of Pd(OAc)2, phosphine ligands, for example Xantphos or BuPAd2, and trifluoroacetic acid. A broad spectrum of substrate spectra was presented, and mechanistic studies were conducted. In all cases reported, the unsaturated C═C bond was conserved after the reaction.
In summary, it can be stated that the selective alkoxycarbonylation of the olefinic unit of allyl alcohols remains a challenge and that there are no known processes for carbonylation of allyl alcohols that lead to diesters. As is well known, diesters are important monomers in the polymer industry for synthesis of polyesters and polyamides via condensation reactions, for example poly(ethylene) adipate and nylon-6,6. The diesters of monomeric compounds can also be used as precursors in the production of dyes, medicaments and agricultural products.
There is therefore a great demand for carboxylic diesters. It is therefore an object of the Invention to find an effective and inexpensive method for synthesis of diesters.
The object is achieved by a process according to Claim 1. The dependent claims constitute preferred process variants. A novel method for synthesis of diesters via a double carbonylation of allyl alcohols is described. The products prepared in accordance with the invention—the diesters—are preferably in the form of isomer mixtures.
The process for doubly carbonylating allyl alcohols to diesters is characterized in that a linear or branched allyl alcohol is reacted with a linear or branched alkanol with supply of CO and in the presence of a catalytic system composed of a palladium complex and at least one organic phosphorus ligand and in the presence of a hydrogen halide selected from HCl, HBr and HI. Preferred hydrogen halides are HCl and HBr. Very particular preference is given to the use of HCl.
Allyl alcohols are preferably compounds of the general formula (1)
where
R1, R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen or a C1 to C10 alkyl radical and R′ is hydrogen, or a saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or cycloaliphatic-aliphatic hydrocarbyl radical having up to 12 carbon atoms, in which C—C bonds may be interrupted by oxygen or the —O—CO— group, or a phenyl radical, where the phenyl radical may be substituted as follows: C1- to C10-alkyl- or C1- to C10-alkoxy groups.
Alkyl is preferably a branched or unbranched radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Alkyl groups are, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 1-butyl, 2-butyl, 1-pentyl, 1-hexyl.
The alcohols used in accordance with the invention may be either primary or secondary alcohols. It is possible to utilize aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or else araliphatic alcohols, preference being given to employing aliphatic and araliphatic alcohols. In general, alcohols ROH used in the process according to the invention are those in which the R radical is a C1- to C10-alkyl, a C1- to C20-cycloalkyl or a C7- to C11-aralkyl group.
Phenyl for R′ and R in ROH may optionally be substituted by substituents such as C1- to C10-alkyl or C1- to C10-alkoxy groups.
Preference is given to using alcohols ROH with unsubstituted R radicals. It is of course also possible to use alcohols having a relatively high number of carbon atoms. In particular, lower alkanols (C1 to C6) are used with preference.
Examples of aliphatic alcohols are, for example, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, C4 alcohols, e.g. 1-butanol, 2-butanol or isobutyl alcohol, C5 alcohols, e.g. 1-pentanol, isoamyl alcohol or 2-pentanol, C5 alcohols, e.g. 1-hexanol, 2-methyl-1-pentanol, 3-methyl-1-pentanol, 2,2-dimethyl-1-butanol, 2-ethyl-1-butanol, 4-ethyl-1-pentanol, 2-hexanol, 3-hexanol, 3-methyl-2-pentanol, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol, 2-methyl-3-pentanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, C7 alcohols, e.g. n-heptyl alcohol, 2-methyl-1-hexyl alcohol, 3-methyl-1-hexyl alcohol, 4-methyl-1-hexyl alcohol, 5-methyl-1-hexyl alcohol, 2-ethyl-1-pentanol, 3-ethyl-1-pentanol, 2,2-dimethyl-1-pentanol, 3,3-dimethyl-1-pentanol, 4,4-dimethyl-1-pentanol, 2,3-dimethyl-1-pentanol, 2,4-dimethyl-1-pentanol, 3,4-dimethyl-1-pentanol, C8 alcohols, e.g. 1-octanol, 2-methyl-1-heptanol, 3-methyl-1-heptanol, 4-methyl-1-heptanol, 5-methyl-1-heptanol, 2-octanol, 3-octanol, 4-octanol, 2-methyl-2-heptanol, 3-methyl-2-heptanol, 4-methyl-2-heptanol, 5-methyl-2-heptanol, 6-methyl-2-heptanol, 2-methyl-3-heptanol or 3-methyl-3-heptanol, and C9 alcohols, e.g. 1-nonanol.
Examples of the alicyclic alcohols having 4 or more carbon atoms include alicyclic alcohols having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, for example cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol or cyclooctanol.
The C7- to C11-aralkyl group used is preferably the benzyl group.
In one variant of the process, the reaction is conducted in the liquid phase at a temperature of 70 to 250° C., preferably at 80 to 180° C., more preferably at temperatures of 80 to 150° C.
The reaction preferably takes place under a pressure of 2 to 100 bar. Preference is given to conducting the reaction under a pressure of 5 to 50 bar.
In one variant of the process, the palladium complex is formed in situ proceeding from a pre-complex, using, as palladium source, palladium-containing salts and complexes as precursor. The palladium compounds may be in different oxidation states, advantageously including the states of 0 to +IV. Preferably, the palladium catalyst is selected from the group comprising Pd acetate, Pd acetylacetonate, Pd halides, Pd-halogen-1,5-cyclooctadienes, Pd nitrates, Pd oxide and diammonium hexachloropalladate.
A particularly preferred precursor is Pd acetylacetonate.
The preferred phosphine ligands L have a mono- or bidentate structure. For example, the ligands L1 to L12 are used particularly advantageously in the process according to the invention:
Xantphos is particularly preferred, especially in combination with Pd acetylacetonate.
The palladium catalyst comprises the phosphine ligand in a ratio of palladium to ligand in the range from 1:1 to 1:20, preferably in the range from 1:1 to 1:10, more preferably in the range from 1:1 to 1:2. The ratio of palladium to hydrogen halide is in the range from 1:3 to 1:30. All ratios are molar ratios.
Effective amounts of catalyst in the process are preferably 0.01 to 12 mol % of palladium based on the allyl alcohol, preference being given to using 0.05 mol % to 1.5 mol % of palladium, based on the allyl alcohol substrate.
It is possible to use solvents for the process according to the invention. For example, polar inert organic solvents or/and water are used. For example, dipolar aprotic solvents, ethers, aliphatic ethers, amides, aromatic compounds, alcohols and esters, and mixtures thereof, are used. Particular preference is given to using aromatic compounds and aliphatic ethers such as toluene and diethyl ether.
Particular preference is given to using, in the process according to the invention, hydrogen chloride as hydrogen halide, preferably in an apolar organic solvent or solvent mixture. More particularly, the reaction is conducted in a mixture of HCl/diethyl ether and a further solvent, preferably toluene.
In a further embodiment of the process, a metal halide, preferably a sodium or lithium halide, e.g. LiBr or LiI, may be added to the reaction. The ratio of metal halide to the hydrogen halide here is preferably 1:1 to 5:1. More preferably, the ratio of halide to hydrogen halide is 1:1 to 2:1. In a particularly advantageous variant, hydrogen chloride is used together with LiBr or LiI.
Surprisingly, it is possible by the process according to the invention to prepare the corresponding diesters, generally in the form of isomer mixtures, but also in the form of preferably n compounds in good yields. Especially via the addition of lithium halides, it is possible to affect the n/iso product ratio in a surprisingly positive manner for formation of n isomers. The process is thus a diester synthesis of high atom and process economy. Four chemical bonds are formed all at once. Surprisingly, yields up to 75% are attained.
The invention is elucidated in detail in examples which follow.

This septum is pierced with a cannula, and the atmosphere in the vial is replaced by an argon atmosphere through this cannula by three cycles of application of reduced pressure and purging with argon. Through this cannula, 2 ml of toluene, n-butanol (182 μl, 2 mmol), allyl alcohol (68 μl, 1 mmol) and 1 M HCl solution in diethyl ether (50 μl, 5 mol %) are then injected by means of syringes. This vial is then placed in a metal plate which is then transferred into a 300 ml steel autoclave from Parr Instruments under an argon atmosphere. After the autoclave has been purged three times with CO, CO is injected to 40 bar at room temperature. The reaction is conducted while stirring with a magnetic stirrer at 105° C. for 24 hours. After the end of the reaction, the autoclave is cooled down and the pressure is released gradually. The autoclave is purged three times with nitrogen. Subsequently, isooctane (100 μl) is added as internal standard. The yield and selectivity are determined by means of GC analysis.
