Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING CYCLIC ALPHA, BETA-UNSATURATED ETHER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3795974
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a cyclic α,β-unsaturated ether useful as an intermediate for various kinds of medicines and agrochemicals at high productivity and high conversion and selectivity by performing dehydrogenation and dehydration of an alkane diol in the presence of a cobalt catalyst.
SOLUTION: This cyclic α,β-unsaturated ether is produced by reacting an alkanediol of the formula, HO(CH2)2X(CH2)2OH (X is a single bond, methylene, ethylene, ethylidene or 0) at 210-250°C in the presence of a cobalt-containing catalyst, an organic sulfonic acid and a high boiling amine to dehydrogenate and dehydrate the alkanediol. A catalyst in which cobalt, cobalt oxide and zirconium is supported on diatomaceous earth is preferable as the catalyst, and the catalyst is used in an amount of 0.01-0.3wt.% based on the alkanediol in terms of pure cobalt. The use of the organic sulfonic acid is 0.001-0.1wt.% based on the alkanediol, and the high boiling amine is used in an amount of 1-10mol based on 1mol of the organic sulfonic acid. The amount of distillation of the cyclic α,β-unsaturated ether per unit catalyst is about 50g/g-catalyst for 1hr, and it is clear that the catalyst has high activity.
