The invention relates to a process for the preparation of onium salts with dialkylphosphate, dialkylphosphinate or (O-alkyl)alkyl- or alkylphosphonate anions by reaction of an onium halide with a trialkyl phosphate, alkyl dialkylphosphinate, dialkyl alkylphosphonate or trialkylsilyl ester or mixed alkyl trialkylsilyl ester of phosphoric, dialkylphosphinic or alkylphosphonic acid.
A large number of onium salts, including dialkylphosphates, dialkylphosphinates or phosphonates, can be used as ionic liquids. Due to their properties, ionic liquids represent an effective alternative to traditional volatile organic solvents for organic synthesis in modern research. The use of ionic liquids as novel reaction medium could furthermore be a practical solution both for solvent emission and also for problems in the reprocessing of catalysts.
Ionic liquids or liquid salts are ionic species which consist of an organic cation and a generally inorganic anion. They do not contain any neutral molecules and usually have melting points below 373 K. However, the melting point may also be higher without restricting the usability of the salts in all areas of application. Examples of organic cations are, inter alia, tetra-alkylammonium, tetraalkylphosphonium, N-alkylpyridinium, 1,3-dialkyl-imidazolium or trialkylsulfonium. Amongst a multiplicity of suitable anions, mention may be made, for example, of BF4−, PF6−, SbF6−, NO3−, CF3SO3−, (CF3SO2)2N−, arylSO3−, CF3CO2−, CH3CO2− or Al2Cl7−.
A general method for the preparation of onium dialkylphosphates is, for example, alkylation of the organic base, i.e., for example, the amine, phosphine, guanidine or heterocyclic base, using a trialkyl phosphate, also disclosed by D. Corbridge, Phosphorus. An Outline of its Chemistry, Bio-chemistry and Technology, 2nd Edition, Elsevier, N.Y., 1980, or for phosphonium salts, disclosed by WO 04/094438. A general method for the preparation of onium dialkylphosphinates is disclosed by Jean, Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. (1957), 783-785, or R. Jentzsch et al. J. Prakt. Chem. (1977), 319, 871-874.
A disadvantage of these methods is, however, that a substituent of the onium cation formed always corresponds to the corresponding alkyl group of the alkyl ester. If, for example, 1-butylimidazolium is reacted with trimethyl phosphate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate is formed. However, asymmetrically substituted onium salts, i.e. salts in which the alkyl group of the ester employed is not a substituent of the onium salt formed, are desired.
Asymmetrical onium salts with dialkylphosphate, dialkylphosphinate, (O-alkyl)alkyl- or alkylphosphonate anions, as defined above, can also be prepared by a metathesis by reacting an onium halide with a corresponding alkali metal salt of the corresponding acid. However, the alkali metal halide formed, for example sodium chloride, has to be removed by an additional purification method. The contamination by halide ions, for example chloride ions, greater than 1000 ppm (0.1%), reduces the usability of the ionic liquid, in particular in the use for electrochemical processes. The technology is therefore of crucial importance in processes for the preparation of onium salts, in particular ionic liquids, in order that they can be synthesised with low impurity levels by the reaction per se or by the reaction procedure, and thus further expensive additional process steps during the synthesis are superfluous.
The object of the present invention was accordingly to provide an alternative process for the preparation of onium salts with dialkylphosphate, dialkylphosphinate, alkylphosphonate or (O-alkyl)alkylphosphonate anions having a low halide content which results in salts, preferably in asymmetrically substituted onium salts, of high purity in good yield and is also suitable for large-scale industrial production.
A process of this type is of course then also suitable for the preparation of symmetrically substituted onium salts.
The process according to the invention is likewise suitable for the preparation of onium salts with diarylphosphate, diarylphosphinate, arylphosphonate or mixed alkylarylphosphate, -phosphinate or -phosphonate anions. Aryl here describes, in particular, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, where the substitution possibilities are described below for phenyl, and alkyl has a meaning described for the dialkylphosphates, dialkylphosphinates or alkylphosphonates.
The object is achieved by the process according to the invention since the ester employed alkylates the anion of the onium halide employed and not the organic onium cation. The alkyl halides formed as by-product are generally gases or very volatile compounds which can be removed from the reaction mixture without major engineering effort. Some of these by-products are themselves valuable materials for organic syntheses.
The invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of onium salts with dialkylphosphate, dialkylphosphinate or (O-alkyl)alkyl- or alkylphosphonate anions by reaction of an onium halide with a trialkyl phosphate, alkyl dialkylphosphinate, dialkyl alkylphosphonate or trialkylsilyl ester or mixed alkyl trialkylsilyl ester of phosphoric, dialkylphosphinic or alkylphosphonic acid.
Suitable onium halides are phosphonium halides, thiouronium halides, guanidinium halides or halides with a heterocyclic cation, where the halides can be selected from the group chlorides, bromides or iodides. Chlorides or bromides are preferably employed in the process according to the invention. For the preparation of thiouronium salts, thiouronium iodides are preferably employed.
The onium halides are generally commercially available or can be prepared by synthetic methods as known from the literature, for example in the standard works, such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods of Organic Chemistry], Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, or Richard C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, 2nd Edition, Wiley-VCH, New York, 1999. Use can also be made here of variants known per se which are not mentioned here in greater detail.

A general scheme summarises the process according to the invention:
The substituents R, R1 to R7 and HetN+ of the compounds of the formulae (1) to (8) correspond to the meanings as described above. [Acid anion]− denotes the corresponding anion from the ester employed after removal of an alkyl group, for example [(alkyl-O)2P(O)]−, [(alkyl)2P(O)O]− or [(alkyl-O)(alkyl)P(O)O]−.
The reaction is carried out in accordance with the invention at temperatures between 200 and 100° C., preferably at 80° to 100°, particularly preferably at 100° C., if alkyl esters of the corresponding acids are employed. If the trialkylsilyl esters or mixed esters of the acids are employed, the reaction is carried out at between 0° C. and 30° C., preferably at room temperature. No solvent is required. However, it is also possible to employ solvents, for example dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, dioxane, propionitrile or mixtures thereof.
The reaction is carried out with a maximum excess of up to 20% or an equimolar amount of the corresponding ester of phosphoric, phosphinic or phosphonic acid.
The method according to the invention can also be used for the purification of halide-containing onium salts with dialkylphosphate, dialkylphosphinate, alkylphosphonate or (O-alkyl)alkylphosphonate anions.
The invention also relates to the starting materials of the trialkylsilyl esters of dialkylphosphinic acid, in particular (C2F5)2P(O)OSi(alkyl)3, (C3F7)2P(O)—OSi(alkyl)3 and (C4F9)2P(O)OSi(alkyl)3, where the alkyl groups of the trialkylsilyl group can have 1 to 4 C atoms. The alkyl groups of the trialkylsilyl group are preferably identical.
Particularly preferred trialkylsilyl esters are (C2F5)2P(O)OSi(CH3)3, (C2F5)2P(O)OSi(C2H5)3, (C3F7)2P(O)OSi(CH3)3, (C3F7)2P(O)OSi(C2H5)3, (C4F9)2P(O)OSi(CH3)3 or (C4F9)2P(O)OSi(C2H5)3.
These compounds are, in particular, excellent silylating reagents, independently of the process according to the invention.
A known trialkylsilyl ester is (CF3)2P(O)OSi(CH3)3, but this compound is difficult to prepare and is unstable since the F3C—P bond is labile.
Even without further comments, it is assumed that a person skilled in the art will be able to utilise the above description in the broadest scope. The preferred embodiments and examples should therefore merely be regarded as descriptive disclosure which is absolutely not limiting in any way.
It goes without saying for the person skilled in the art that substituents in the compounds mentioned above and below, such as, for example, H, N, O, Cl or F, can be replaced by the corresponding isotopes.
