United States Patent PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF N-TERT. ALKYL AMIDES AND, [F DESIRED, N-TERT. ALKYL AMINES Wolfgang Haaf, Mulheim (Ruhr), Germany, assignor to Studiengesellsehaft Kohle m.b.H., Mulheim (Ruhr), Germany No Drawing. Filed Aug. 22, 1961, Ser. No. 133,061 Claims priority, application Germany Aug. 25, 1960 7 Ciaims. (Cl. 260561) This invention relates to a process for the production of N-tert. alkyl amides and, if desired, N-tert. alkyl amines.
The addition of nitriles or of HCN to olefins or alcohols in the presence of acid catalysts is known. In this reaction, alkyl amides, e.g. N-tert. butyl formamide, are obtained from isobutene and HCN.
It has now been found very surprisingly that isoparaffins can also be converted into N-tert. alkyl amides.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process for the production of N-tert. alkyl amides and, if desired, of N-tert. alkyl amines with the use of olefins, alkyl halides or aliphatic monoalcohols and nitriles, HCN or HCN evolving compounds in the presence of acid catalysts, which process comprises contacting nitriles, HCN or HCN evolving compounds with olefins, alkyl halides or alcohols in the presence of isoparafiins having at least one tertiary hydrogen atom while thoroughly mixing the reactants and recovering from the reaction product the alkyl amide which corresponds to the isoparaffin and which, if desired, is saponified in conventional manner to form a N-tert. alkyl amine. Theoretically, a maximum of 1 mol parafiin is capable of being converted into the N-tert. alkyl amide by 1 mol of olefin or alcohol or alkyl halide. From the olefin charged or the analogous compound, an amide corresponding to this compound is likewise formed invariably. When operating with an excess of isoparafiin, the yield of amide from the parafi'in can be increased. The isoparafiin which is not consumed in the reaction is preferably recycled into the reaction.
A preferred catalyst in the process of the invention is concentrated sulfuric acid, especially one having a concentration of 90 to 100%. The process is preferably carried out at a temperature of between 0 and 80 C., especially at 40 C. Particularly good results for the case of using solid reactants are obtained when operating in the presence of inert solvents. Particularly suitable inert solvents are n-parafiins or unbranched cycloparalfins, particularly n-hexane, n-heptane or cyclohexane.
Suitable isoparaffins for the process of the invention are acyclic and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons, suitably those having from 4 to 15 carbon atoms, preferably isobutane, isopentane, Z-methyl-pentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane and 3- methylheptane. Examples of suitably cyclic isoparafiins include alkyl cyclohexane such as methyl cyclohexane, ethyl cyclohexane or methyl cyclopentane and diand polycyclic compounds such as decahydronaphthalene, adamantane or perhydroacenaphthene, i.e. compounds having from 6 to 15 carbon atoms.
The olefins used may be unbranched and branched olefins, particularly those having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms. Butene-l and butene-Z, isobutene or also pentene-l or pentene-Z will preferably be used for a commercial process.
Alcohols which are particularly suitable for the process of the invention are alcohols containing up to carbon atoms, particularly tertiary butanol or butanol-2. A particularly suitable alkyl halide is tertiary butyl chloride. However, on principle, other alkyl halides may also be used.
Thorough mixing (emulsification) of the phases which are not miscible with one another (catalyst and isoparaf- 3,152,180 Patented Oct. 6, 1964 fin) is absolutely necessary for the process of the invention, the use of a stirring device permitting smooth emulsification having been found to be particularly advantageous.
In specific cases, e.g. in case of adamantane, it may be desirable to obtain in one reaction stage as high a yield of N-(adamantyl-l)-formamide as is possible. It may be desirable under these conditions to operate with an excess of the relatively inexpensive alcohol, particularly tertiary butanol.
The N-tertiary alkyl amides produced in accordance with the invention are suitable intermediates in pharmaceutical industry.
Example 1 To achieve satisfactory intermixing of sulfuric acid and isoparafiin, the reaction was effected in a 1.5 l. round-bottom flask in which a centrifugal stirrer of stainless steel was arranged almost horizontally, the suction opening of which, when not in operation, covered the total height of the organic phase as well as part of the sulfuric acid. Satisfactory emulsification could be achieved at a speed of 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
12.2 liters (0.54 mol) of propene were introduced within 3 hours through a frit into an emulsion of 770 gms.:420 ml. of a 96% sulfuric acid and 144 gms. (2 mols) of isopentane at 20 C. At the same time, 27 gms. (1 mol) of liquid hydrocyanic acid were slowly added dropwise from a dropping funnel. After 3 hours of post-reaction, the reaction mixture was decomposed with ice and refluxed overnight. In doing so, the excess isopentane escaped. Then the amine was set free from the sulfuric acid solution by means of a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, distilled over and dried with solid NaOH. Distillation by means of a spinning band column resulted in 8.5 gms.=27% of the theory of 2- amino-propane (boiling point, 33 C.) and 7.2 gms.=15% of the theory of Z-aminO-Z-methyl-butane (boiling point, 76 C., n =1.4020).
Example 2 In the apparatus described in Example 1, 880 gms. of a 96% sulfuric acid and 86 gms. (1 mole) of 2,3-dimethylbutane were emulsified. To this end, 28 gms. (0.5 mol) of isobutene were introduced Within 2 hours at 30 C. During the same time, 27 gms. (1 mol) of liquid hydrocyanic acid were added dropwise. After 3 hours of postreaction, decomposition with ice and saponification, 30 gms.:40 ml. of amine could be obtained. Precision fractionation resulted in 13 gms.=35% of the theory of tertiary butyl amine (boiling point, 46 C.) and 13 gms.:30% of the theory of 2-amino-2,3-dimethyl-butane (boiling point, 104 C., n =1.4l35).
Example 3 360 ml. of 96% sulfuric acid and a solution of 13.6 gms. (0.1 mole) of adamantane in 100 ml. of n-hexane were emulsified in the apparatus described and provided with an inclined centrifugal stirrer. Then a mixture of 46 gms. (1.7 moles) of liquid hydrocyanic acid and 29.6 gms. (0.4 mole) of tertiary butanol was added dropwise within 1.5 hours at about 25 C. After 30 minutes of postreaction, the product was poured on ice. The granular mass which precipitated (N-(adamantyl-1)-formamide) was sucked off and washed with water. The raw product (37 gms.) was then refluxed for 10 hours with a solution of 60 gms. of NaOH in 600 ml. of diethylene glycol. After cooling, the solution was diluted with 1.5 liters of water and subjected to three extractions with ether. The amine was extracted from the ethereal solution with 2 N HCl and liberated therefrom by the addition of solid NaOH (while cooling). The alkaline solution was extracted with ether and the ethereal solution was dried with solid NaOH. Distillation resulted in 10.6 gins. (=70% of the theory) of l-aminoadamantane which, after sublimation, melted at 180 to 192 C. (seal capillary).
Example 4 In the apparatus described in Example 1, 360 ml. of a 96% sulfuric acid and 72 gms. (1 mol) of isopentane were emulsified. A mixture of 74 gms. (1 mol) of tertiary butanol and 82 gms. (2 mols) of acetonitrile were added dropwise within 2% hours at 25 C. After a postreaction time of 10 minutes, the product was decomposed with ice and neutralized with solid sodium carbonate. The weakly alkaline solution was extracted with ether, the ether dried over potassium carbonate and distilled off. The residue was refluxed for 12 hours with a solution of 60 gms. of NaOH in 600 ml. of diethylene glycol. The amine formed was colected in dilute hydrochloric acid and liberated therefrom with solid NaOH. Precision fractionation resulted in 22 gms. (=30% of the theory) of tertiary butyiamine and 10.5 grns. (=12% of the theory) of 2-amino-2-methyl-butane.
