Abstract
A process for preparing aminopropyl silanes in which an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane in the presence of a catalyst comprising (i) metallic rhodium or a rhodium compound and (ii) a basic compound. By the proposed process the corresponding gammaaminopropyl silane can be prepared in a high selectivity and yield within a short period of reaction time.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for preparing aminopropyl silanes such as aminopropyl alkoxy silanes. More particularly, it relates to a process for preparing aminopropyl silanes, in which metallic rhodium or a rhodium compound is used as a catalyst.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Silane coupling agents are compounds having in their molecule an organic functional group and a hydrolizable group reactive with inorganic materials. Since the silane coupling agents are, due to their functional groups, capable of chemically bonding an organic polymer with an inorganic material, such as silica, thereby remarkably increasing the mechanical strength of the organic polymer, they are now indispensable in the development of ultrafashionable composite materials.
Aminopropyl silanes such as gamma-aminopropyl alkoxy silanes are used in the art as the silane coupling agent, and it is known that they can be prepared by hydrosililation of an allylamine, which may be substituted on the nitrogen atom, with a hydrosilane.
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 60-81189 discloses a process for the preparation of aminopropyl alkoxy silanes, which comprises reacting an allylamine with a hydrosilane using a platinum catalyst, such as chloroplatinic acid, in the presence of a promoter, such as anhydrous sodium carbonate. However, the reaction of an allylamine with a hydrosilane in the presence of a platinum catalyst, such as chloroplatinic acid, inevitably produces the corresponding beta-aminopropyl alkoxy silane, which may be referred to herein as the beta-isomer in addition to the desired gamma-aminopropyl alkoxy silane, which may be referred to herein as the gamma-isomer, normally with a ratio of the gamma-isomer to the beta-isomer of from 4 to 6, posing a problem in that the selectivity of the desired gamma-isomer is not satisfactorily high.
Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 61-229,885 discloses a process for the preparation of aminopropyl alkoxy silanes by reacting an allylamine with a hydrosilane in the presence of a catalyst comprising rhodium organic tertiary phosphine complex and optionally triphenylphosphine. By this process gamma-aminopropyl alkoxy silanes can be prepared in a high selectivity. The process is disadvantageous, however, in that a prolonged reaction time is required to achieve a high conversion. Further, an excessive amount of triphenylphosphine must be used to achieve a high selectivity of the gamma-isomer.
J. of Organomet. Chem., 149, 29-36 (1978) deals with the hydrosililation of olefins in the presence of a metallic carbonyl catalyst, such as cobalt-, rhodium-, iridium- and iron-carbonyl compounds and reports that N,N-dimethylaminopropyl triethoxy silane is obtainable in a high yield from N,N-dimethylallylamine and triethoxy silane. It is stated in this article that when an olefinic amine, such as allylamine is hydrosililated, the sililation proceeds preferentially on the amine nitrogen atom. This statement means that hydrosililation of an N-unsubstituted allylamine with a hydrosilane would be unsuitable for the preparation of the corresponding aminopropyl alkoxy silane.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The invention is to solve the problems involved in the prior art and an object of the invention is to provide a process for preparing aminopropyl silanes from a hydrosilane and an allylamine wherein gamma-aminopropyl silanes can be prepared in a high selectivity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that when an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane in the presence of a catalyst comprising (i) metallic rhodium or a rhodium compound and (ii) a basic compound, the desired gamma-aminopropyl silanes can be prepared in a high yield and within a shortened reaction time.

BASIC COMPOUNDS
In the process according to the invention use is made of a catalyst comprising (i) metallic rhodium or the rhodium compound as described above and (ii) a basic material which is (a) an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or (b) a basic compound containing at least one nitrogen atom and which may be a basic electron doner, a Lewis base or a basic reducing agent.
BASIC ELECTRON DONER
The basic electron doners may be halogen, chalcogen, Group VA(N.P. As, Sb and Bi), Group IVA (C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) and Group IIIA(B, Al, Ga, In and Tl) compounds of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Group IIIA metals and oniums of Group VA elements
Examples of such basic electron doners which can be used herein include, for example, potassium fluoride, rubidium fluoride, cesium fluoride, lithium fluoride, sodium fluoride, barium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, lithium oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, rubidium oxide, cesium oxide, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, diethylaluminum hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, lithium methoxide, lithium ethoxide, lithium propoxide, lithium butoxide, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium methoxide, potassium ethoxide, rubidium ethoxide, cesium ethoxide, triethylammonium methoxide, sodium triphenylsilanolate (NaOSiPh.sub.3), lithium triphenylsilanolate (LiOSiPh.sub.3), sodium triethylgermylate (NaOGeEt.sub.3), potassium tributylstannylate (KOSnBu.sub.3), sodium phenoxide, diethylaluminum methoxide, sodium carbonate, potassium acetate, sodium sulfite, sodium nitrite, sodium hypochlorite, potassium chlorite, sodium chlorate, sodium perchlorate, potassium cyanate, sodium thiocyanate, lithium hydrosulfide (LiSH), sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH), potassium hydrosulfide (KSH), sodium azide, sodiumamide (H.sub.2 NNa), potassium diethylamide, sodium diphenylphosphide (Ph.sub.2 PNa), n-butyllithium, phenyllithium, isopropylmagnesium chloride, phenylmagnesium bromide, diphenylmethylsilyllithium, triphenylgermyllithium, tributylstannyllithium and sodium tetrafluoroborate.
LEWIS BASES
Examples of the Lewis bases which can be used herein include, for example, hydroxylamine, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, diazabicyclo[2,2,2] octane, acetoaldoxime (CH.sub.3 CH.dbd.NOH), triethylamine, quinuclidine and pyrrolidine.
BASIC REDUCING AGENTS
The basic reducing agents may be hydrides of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Group IIIA metals and Group IVA elements as well as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
Examples of such basic reducing agents which can be used herein include, for example, lithium hydride, calcium hydride, lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride, lithium triethyl borohydride, tributylgermanium hydride, tributyltin hydride, sodium tri-tert-butoxy borohydride, lithium metal, sodium metal, potassium metal, rubidium metal, cesium metal, beryllium metal, magnesium metal and calcium metal.
The basic compound is used in such an amount that from 0.1 to 30 moles, preferably from 0.2 to 5 moles of the basic compound, per mole of the rhodium metal or rhodium compound, may be present in the reaction system. With substantially less than the above-prescribed amount of the basic compound, a satisfactory catalytic activity will not be realized. Whereas when an unduly excessive amount of the basic compound is used, increasing amounts of by-products tend to be formed due to disproportionation of the hydrosilane reactant.
It is also possible to add such an additional amount of the basic compound to the reaction system during or after the reaction so that the total amount of the basic compound is within the above-prescribed range, thereby keeping the catalytic activity at a high level.
The basic compound may be added to the reaction system as such (in solid) or in the form of a solution in an appropriate solvent such as ethanol, DMSO or 18-crown-6-ether.
REACTION CONDITIONS
The allylamine and hydrosilane are preferably used in such amounts that a ratio of the allylamine to the hydrosilane by mole is within the range from about 1.3:1 to about 1:1.3.
The allylamine and hydrosilane are used in the reaction according to the invention preferably after having impurities such as halogen, sulfur and phosphorus compounds removed as far as possible.
The reaction may be carried out under atmospheric or elevated pressure. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of not lower than 15.degree. C., preferably from about 50.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C., more preferably from about 70.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C. If a reaction temperature substantially below 15.degree. C. is used, the desired gamma-aminopropyl silanes will be formed in little amounts. Whereas, when the reaction temperature increases above 250.degree. C., increasing amounts of the beta-isomer tend to be formed, undesirably lowering the selectivity of the gamma-isomer.
While the rhodium metal or compound may be used in an excess amount, it is sufficient for it to be present in the reaction system in an amount on the order of from 10.sup.-6 to 10.sup.-3 mole per mole of the allylamine, on a rhodium basis.
In carrying out the reaction, solvents may or may not be used. When solvents are used, generally, hydrocarbon solvents, such as toluene, xylene, heptane, dodecane, ditolylbutane and cumene are preferred.
When a rhodium complex is employed as the rhodium compound, it is frequently advantageous to carry out the reaction in the presence of excess amounts of an neutral ligand compound which may be the same as or different from neutral ligands of the employed rhodium complex.
While the reaction time greatly depends upon the reaction temperature used, it may normally be within the range between about 0.5 and about 2.0 hours.
When an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane in the presence of a catalyst comprising (i) metallic rhodium or a rhodium compound and (ii) a basic compound in accordance with the invention, we have found as shown in the following examples, that the corresponding gamma-aminopropyl silanes can be produced in a high selectivity with little yield of the beta-isomer, leading to a high gamma/beta ratio. Further, the reaction rapidly proceeds, and thus, the gamma-isomer can be obtained in a yield as high as 75% or higher.
In contrast, if an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane, using a chloroplatinic acid catalyst, the yield of the gamma-isomer is on the order of 40-50%, with a gamma/beta ratio of about 4. Further, if an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane, using a catalyst consisting solely of hydridocarbonyl tris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium complex as a catalyst, the gamma-isomer with a gamma/beta ratio of about 60 can only be obtained at the cost of a prolonged reaction time, e.g., 6 hours or more, owing to a slow reaction rate.
EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION
By a process for preparing aminopropyl silanes according to the invention, in which an allylamine is reacted with a hydrosilane in the presence of a catalyst comprising (i) metallic rhodium or a rhodium compound and (ii) a basic compound, the corresponding gamma-aminopropyl silanes can be prepared in a high selectivity and yield within a short period of reaction time.
While the invention is illustrated by the following examples, the invention is not limited thereto.
EXAMPLE 1
A three-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, stirrer and thermometer, was charged with 0.066 g of rhodium trichloride trihydrate, RhCl.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O (0.1 mole % of Rh per mole of triethoxysilane), 0.060 g of sodium hydroxide powder and 50 ml of xylene. The mixture was heated to a temperature of 130.degree. C. under stirring by placing the flask on an oil bath maintained at a temperature of 130.degree. C. To the heated mixture a mixture of 41 g of triethoxy silane (0.25 mole) and 14 g of allylamine (0.25 mole) was dropwise added over a period of about one hour.
After completion of the reaction the reaction mixture was subjected to gas chromatography analysis. It was revealed that gamma-aminopropyl triethoxy silane had been formed in a yield of 90% on a triethoxysilane basis, while the yield of beta-aminopropyl triethoxy silane was less than 0.2%.
