- Lewis acid solid catalysts for the synthesis of methylenedianiline from aniline and formaldehyde
-
A catalyst containing Hf4+ and Zn2+ supported on silica has been found to be highly effective for the synthesis of methylenedianiline (MDA), an indispensable precursor in the polyurethane industry. Its performance was further improved when the silica support was replaced by silica-alumina, which resulted in a catalyst that was both active and selective, as indicated by the high MDA yield and high 4,4′–MDA/(2,2′–MDA + 2,4′–MDA) isomer ratio obtained. Furthermore, the catalyst also gave an appreciable oligomeric MDA (OMDA) yield and was noticeably more stable than the zeolites that were used in comparative tests: it could be used in at least five consecutive runs without any significant loss in activity. The combination of Br?nsted and Lewis acidity strongly increases the overall activity and yields a catalyst that represents a remarkably stable and reusable alternative to the commonly studied systems for this reaction.

- METHOD OF PRODUCING DIAMINES AND POLYAMINES OF THE DIPHENYLMETHANE SERIES
-
The invention relates to a method for producing diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series, by condensing aniline and formaldehyde followed by an acid-catalysed rearrangement at different production capacities with alteration of the content of diamines of the diphenylmethane series (altering the binuclear content). Adapting the molar ratio of the total used aniline to the total used formaldehyde and adapting the reaction temperature allows the rearrangement reaction to be fully completed despite the change in dwell time inevitably associated with a change in production capacity, and allows the formation of undesired by-products to be avoided as far as possible; the intended modification to binuclear content is likewise achieved.

- Towards an industrial synthesis of diamino diphenyl methane (DADPM) using novel delaminated materials: A breakthrough step in the production of isocyanates for polyurethanes
-
Delaminated materials ITQ-2, ITQ-6 and ITQ-18 are very efficient catalysts of zeolitic nature for the synthesis of diamino diphenyl methane (DADPM), the polyamine precursor in the production of MDI for polyurethanes. The exfoliation process results in excellent accessibility of their active sites to reactant molecules as well as fast desorption of products. These catalysts present higher activity and slower rates of deactivation than their corresponding zeolites. Moreover, the topology of the delaminated structure imposes a precise control of the isomer distribution, offering an additional flexibility in the synthesis of DADPM. By optimizing the process conditions it is possible to achieve final DADPM crude under industrial production specifications with ITQ-18. This catalyst represents a real chance for replacing HCl in the industrial production of DADPM.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (4,4′-MDI) by acid-catalyzed condensation of aniline with formaldehyde, reaction of the mixtures of di- and polyamines obtained with phosgene to form the corresponding mixture of MDI isomers and homologues (di- and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series) and subsequent separation of the mixture by distillation to form 4,4′-MDI and polymeric MDI.

- Process for the production of isocyanates
-
Isocyanates, preferably diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series (MDI), are produced by reaction of amines dissolved in a solvent with phosgene in the same solvent to form the corresponding isocyanates. Hydrogen chloride and excess phosgene are subsequently removed from the reaction mixture to obtain a crude isocyanate-containing solution. Subsequently, the crude isocyanate-containing solution is separated by distillation into isocyanates and solvent. The solvent is recycled and used for the production of solutions of the amines and of phosgene. The solvent being recycled is treated to reduce the phosgene and diisocyanate contents before being used for the production of the solution of the amine.

-
4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate is produced at two different sites by a) reacting aniline and formaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce a mixture of diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series at a first production site, b) these diamines and polyamines are then reacted with phosgene to give the corresponding diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series, which may optionally be separated by distillation to give a mixture of diisocyanates and polyisocyanates containing from 50 to 80 wt.% of 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, from 1 to 12 wt.% of 2,4'- and/or 2,2'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate taken together, and from 10 to 45 wt.% of trifunctional and higher-functional polyisocyanates, based on the weight of the mixture of diisocyanates and polyisocyanates, c) transferring the mixture of diisocyanates and polyisocyanates to transport containers and transporting these isocyanate-containing containers to a second production site remote from the first, and d) separating the mixture of diisocyanates and polyisocyanates by distillation and/or crystallization to give a pure 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate containing at least 97 wt.% of 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and a maximum of 3 wt.% of 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

- ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF 2,2'-DINITRODIPHENYLMETHANE AND 2,2'-DINITROBENZOPHENONE AT MERCURY ELECTRODES
-
The last two compounds in a 5-membered series of aromatic dinitrocompounds are reduced in a completely different manner at mercury electrodes. 2,2'-Dinitrodiphenylmethane (I) - in which a conjugation of both symmetrical moieties is ruled out - is electrolytically reduced in an eight-electron step to a bishydroxylamine this being most stable between pH 4.5 and 5.0.In processing the catholyte increase in concentration of this product leads to its intermolecular disproportionation, resulting in the formation of dibenzo-1,2-diazepine 5-oxide (IV) and2,2'-diaminodiphenylmethane (III). 2,2'-Dinitrobenzophenone (II) reduces at more positive potentials.Its preparative electrolysis in acetonitrile (with 0.1M-N(n-C4H9)4PF6 as supporting electrolyte) the application of which was made necesarry by the low solubility of II in ethanol, proceeds in an anomalous way.In the most positive cathodic wave a radical anion results, the following cathodic wave corresponds to a 6-electron reduction of one nitro group to an amino group while the other nitro group splits off as the anion NO2(-) (this later giving an anodic wave).Its formation has been proved by standard addition in polarography and by a qualitative analytical test.The product which results through this electrode process and a follow-up chemical reaction is acridone.This is turn, reduces in the third, most negative 4-electron wave to dihydroacridine.The comparison of all substances studied in this series reveals that their reducibility decreases with respect to the link X, viz. in the sequence CO > O > S and CH2 > NH.The electrolytical reduction on mercury cathodes occurs in a similar manner with analogues where X=O, S or CH2.Here, the main intermediate is the bis-hydroxylamine the stability of which predetermines the structure of final products.The other group comprises the substances with X=CO and NH.Here the main intermediate is the 2-nitro-2'-amino-diphenyl-X which is formed in a 6-electron process taking place at one of the nitro groups.The follow-up cyclization reaction leading to seven-membered heterocyclic rings located between two benzene nuclei only occurs with analogues of the type X=CH2, O and S.A partial reduction of dinitro compounds of this series has been observed with the analogue containing the NH link although that with X=CO has generally good preconditions for this mechanism.
