Description
~l- 8CL~3500 IMPROVED PROCESS FOR ~HE P~EPARATION
OF AROMATIC CARBONATES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Organic carbonates such as the dialiphatic carbonates, ~liphatic aromatic carbonates, and diaro~atic carbonates are generally conventionally prepared by ~he reaction of phenols or alcohols wi~h phosgene in the presence of acid binding agents such as the organic bases or inorganic bases. However, due to the toxicity of phosgene it is sometimes desir-able to avoid the use of phosgc~e in the preparation of ~hese organic carbonates.
Since the dialipha~ic carbonat~s, such as the dialkyl carbonates, may be prepared from alcohols by routes other than those utiliæing phosgene, i.e, ~atalytically from carbon mono~ide and oxygen, it 1~ is possible to prepare the aliphatic aromatic carbon-ates and the diarvmatic carbonates from these dialiphatic carbonates and phenols withou~ using phosgene. Such phosgene free processes are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,045,464 and 4,182,726. These patents disclose ~A'~
the prepartion of alkyl aryl carbona~es and di-aryl carbonat~s from dialkyl carbonates and phenols in the presence of a ca~alyst which is selected from Lewis acids and compounds of transition metals.
It would, however, be mos~ advantageous if a phosgene free process which is more efective and efficient ~han those presently available could be provided for the preparation of aliphatic aromatic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates from dialiphatic carbonates. It is, thereore, an object of the instant invention to provide such a phosgene free transesterifi-cation process for ~he production of aliphatic aroma~ic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates from dialiphatic carbonates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The instant invention is directed to a trans-esterification process for theprepara~ion of aliph-atic aromatic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates from dialiphatic carbonates utilizing a ca~alytic amount of a catalyst system w~ich is comprlsed of, in physical admix~ure:
(i) at least one Lewis acid; and (ii) at least one pro~ie acid.
DESC~IP~IQN OF THE IN~ENTION
.
The insta~t invention is directed to an improved transesterification process for ~he preparation of aromatic carbonates rom aliphatic carbonates , the improvement comprising carrying out the reaction ~2~ 8 in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ~atalyst which is co~prised of a physical admixture of (i) at least one Lewis acîd, and (ii) at least one protic acid.
The aromatic carbonates which may be prepared by the process o~ the instant invention include the aliphatic aromatic carbonates and the diaromatic carbonates. The aliphatic aromatic carbonates may be represented by the general formula o 10 I. Ar-0-C-O-R
wherein:
R is selected from monovalent aliphatic hydro-carbon radicals; and Ar is selected from monovalent aroma~ic radicals.
The preferred monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals represen~ed by R are the alkyl radicals and the cycloàlkyl radicals. The preferred lkyl radicals are those containing ~rom 1 to about 12 carbsn atoms.
These alkyl radicals include the ~traight chain alkyl radicals and the branched alkyl radicals. Some illus~rative non-limi~ing examples of these alkyl radicals include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, and heptyl.
The pre~erred cycloalkyl radicals are those containing rom 4 to about 7 ring carbon atoms. Some illus-trative non-limiting ex2mples of these cycloalkyl radicals include cyclobutyl, cyclopen~yl, methyl-cyclohexyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl.
The monovalent aroma~ic radicals repres nted by Ar include the aryl radicals containing from 6 to 12 carbo~ atoms. These include phenyl, naphthyl, and biphenyl. Preferred aryl radicals are those rep-resented by the general formula (Rl) n ,~, ~ '~
'tJ
~R )5-wherein R i~ independently selec~ed from monovalent hydrocarborl radicals and halogen radicals;
R2 i~ hydrogen; and n is a positive i~t~ger having a value of from O
to 5 inclusive.
The mo~ovale~ hydroear~o~ radicals represen~ed by Rl include the alkyl radicals, cycloalkyl radicals, aryl radicals, aralkyl radicals, and alk~ryl radicals.
i78 The preferred alkyl radicals represented by Rl are those containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.
,These include the straight chain and branched alkyl radicals. The preferred cycloalkyl radicals rep-resented by Rl are ~hose containing from 4 to about 7ring carbon atoms. The preerred aryl radicals are those containing from 6 to 12 ring carbon atoms and include phenyl, biphenyl and naphthyl. The preferred aralkyl and alkaryl radicals represented by Rl are 10 those containing from 7 to about 14 carbon atoms.
The preferred halogen radicals represented by R are chlorine and bromine The diaromatic carbonates may be represented by the general formula 15 II. Ar-O-C-O Ar wherein Ar is as defined hereinafore.
The aliphatic aromatic carbonates of the inst~nt inven~ion may be prepared by ~he reaction of a phenol of the general ormula Ar-OH
whe~ein Ar is as defined hereinafore, with a dialiphatic carborlate of the general formula ~2~ 78 ~I `
R-O-C-O-R
wherein R is as defined hereinafore, in the presence of a catalytic amount of the catalyst of ~hP instant in-vention.
.The reaction of the phenol with the dialiphatic carbonate may ~e represented by ~he formula cat.
(a) R-O-C-O-R ~ Ar-OH ~~~~~~~ R-O-C-O-Ar + R OH
wherein R and Ar are as defined hereinafore and ca~.
is a cat~lytic amount of the catalyst of the instant invention.
The diaromatic carbonates of ~he instant in-vention may be prepared by either one of two methods.
The first method involves reaeting the aliphatic aromatic carbonate formed as de~cribed hereinafore with a phenol, in the presence of a catalytic am~unt o the catalyst of the instant in~en~ion. This reaction may be rep-resented by the general ormu1a O cat O
(b) R-O-C-O-Ar + Ar-OH = Ar-O-C-O-Ar ~ R-OH
herein R, Ar and cat. are as defined hereinafor~.
.... . .. ..... ..... . ..... . . .. . ... . . .
~2~'78 The second method involves the reaction of the aliphatic aromatic carbonate with itself or with another aliph~tic aromatic carbonate in the presence of a catalytic ~mount o the catalyst of the instant invention. This reaction may be represented by the general formula O O O
1~ cat. ~
(c) 2 R-O-C-O-Ar ~ - Ar-O-C-O-Ar ~ R-O-C-O-R
wherein Ar, R and cat. are as defined hereinafore.
The reactions depicted by formulae (a), (b) and (c) may be carried out in the liquid phase, with or without the presence of a solvent, at temperatures of from about 60C to about 300C, preferahly from about 150C to about 250C. The~e reactions may be carried out at pressures ranging from subatmospheric pressures to supera~mospheric pressures, e.g. from about 0.1 to about 50 atmospheres. These reactions proceed readily a~ atmospheric press~r~s.
Since ~he reactions depic~ed in Formulae (a) and (b) are equilibrium reactions, it is ad~a~tageous to remove the alcohol formed ~Q as to continuously shift the equilibrium until the reac~ions reach completion.
Since the alcohol is most conveniently removed by di~illation it is desirable that the reactants in the equations depicted by Formulae (a) and (b) are so sel~cted that the R-OH byproduct has a lo~er boiling point ~han ~he Ar-OH reactant and thus can be distilled off as it is formed. It is for this reason that the lower dialiphatic carbonates or aliphatic aromatic carbonates are the preferred reactan~s in the processes of the instant invention, i.e., R is a lower alkyl rad-ical containing from l to about 4 carbon atoms in thealiphatic aromatic carbonates of Formula I and in the dialiphatic carbonates described hereinafore.
The preparation of the diaromatic carbonates by the reaction depicted by Formula (c) may also be conveniently achieved by the distillation of the dialiphatic carbonate coproduct. For this reason, it i5 also preferred that ~he aliphatic aromatic carbonate reactant be a lower sliphatic aromatic carbona~e so that the dialiphatic carbonate coproduct may be readily distilled off, i.e., R in th~ aliphatic aromatic carbonate is a lower alkyl radical containing from 1 to a~out 4 carbon atoms.
In the preparation of the diaroma~ic carbonates of the instant invention it is preferred that the reaction process be con~inuous and be carried out in the same reaction vessel. That is to say, once the aliphatic aromatic carbonate iæ for~ed by the reaction of the dialiphatic carbonate and ~he phenol i~ is not removed from the reaction vessel but is allowed to further react with ~he ph nol in the same reaction vessel to form the diaromatic ca~bonate~
While theoretically it requires ~wo moles of phenol for every mole of dialiphatic carbonate to produce ~he diaromatic carbona~e, in practice i~ is ~4~7~
_9_ generally preferred to use an excess of the phenol reactant. Thus, for example, it is generally preferred to use an excess of phenol when reacting the dialiphatic carbonate with the phenol to produce the aliphatic aromatic carbonate, and it is also preferred ~o utilize an excess of phenol when reacting the phenol with the aliphatic aromatic carbonate to produce the diaromatic carbonate. since it i5 generally preferred to employ a continuous process for the preparation of the diarom-atic carbonates, i~ is preferred to use more than twomoles of phenol for every mole of dialiphatic carbonate reactant utilized.
The amount of the catalyst of the instant in-vention utilized in the exchange reactions described herein is a catalytic amount. By catalytic amount is meant an amount effective to catalyze the trans-esterification reaction or the preparation of the aliphatic aromatic carbonates from the dialiphatic carbonate~ and the phenols or the diaromatic carbonates from the aliphatic aromatic carbona~es and phenols.
Generally this amount ;s in the range of from about 0.01 to about 25 weight percent, based on the amounts of dialiphatic carbonate or alipha~ic aromatic car-bonate reactant~ utilized, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent.
The catalysts of the i~s~ant invention are com-prised of a physical mixture o ~i3 at leas~ one Lewis acid, and (ii3 at least one protic acid.
The Lewis acids are well known to those skil led in the art. Basically, according to standard and accepted definition o a Lewis acid, it is a substance that can take up an electron pair to form a covalen~
S bond. Thus, a Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
Some illustrative non-limiting examples of L~wis acids include BX3 t AlX3, TiX3, SnX4, Ug4, 4 3 5 ZnX2, and FPX3, wherein X is halogen, acetoxy, alkoxy, or aryloxy.
Protic acids are well known to those skilled in the art. Basically, according to the standard and accepted definition of a protic acid it is a substance which gives up a proton~ i.e., it is a proton donor.
More ~pecifically, it is a substance which contains hydrogen which hydrogen under appropriate conditions forms hydrogen ions, H+, or protons. The protic acids include the inorganic protic acids and the organic protic acids. Particularly useful organic protic acids are the organic sulfonic acids. Some illustrat-ive non-limitin$ examples of protic acid~ include HCl~ H2S04, H3P04, H2C03, m ~hanesulfonic acid, ~ri-fluorometh~ne sulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid, methane phosphonic acid, and HBr.
Th migture of the Lewis acid and the protic 25 acid which fo~s the catalyst system of the instant invention contains an amount of protic acid efec~ive to cnhance or improve the catalytie activity of said mixture. ~7enerally, this mixture contains a weigh~
8c~-3500 ratio of Lewis acid ~o protic acid of from about ?0:1 to about 1:5.
It is further contemplated that the instan~
catalyst system co~prised of a physical mixture of at least one Lewis acid and at least one protic acid would be effective in catalyzing any transesterifica~ion reac~ion. Thus, while the instant disclosure and exa~ples are directed to the formation of aliphatic aromatic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates from dialiphatic carbonates and aliphatic aromatic carbonates, respect-ively, it is contempla~ed that this catalyst system would be effective in ~he forma~ion of other esters via a transesterification process.
The instant catalyst system contains a physical mixture of at lea~t one Lewis acid and at least one protic acid. Thus, for example, the instant system may contain only one Lewis acid admixed with one protic acid; two different Lewis acids admixed with one protic acid; ~wo dif~erent pro~ic acid~ admixed wi~h one Lewis acid; or two or more differen~ L~wis acids ad-mixed with two or msre different protic acids.

The data inTable I clearly illustrates that the processes of the instant invention, i.e. those utili-zing the catalyst system comprised of a physical mixture of a Lewis aeid and a pro~ic acid, are more eficient ln producing the aliphatic aroma~ic carbon-ates and the diaromatic carbonates from the dialiphatic cabonates than the process utilizing a ca~alyst comp-rised of only a Lewis acid.

A comparison of Example 2 with Example 5- shows that the instant process yields a greater amount of ~he combined diaromatic carbonate and aliphatic aromatic carbonate than does ~he prior art process which utilizes only the Lewis acid as the catalyst. A comparison of Example 3 with Example 6 shows that ~he process utilizing the catalyst of the ins~ant invention yields greater amounts of both the diaroma~ic carbonate ~nd the aliphatic aromatic carbonate ~han does the proress utilizing only the Lewis acid as a catalyst.
Obviously, other modifications and ~ariations of the present inventlon are possible in light of ~he above ~eachings. It is, ~herefore, to be under-stood that changes may be made in ~he particular em-bodiments of the invention described which are within 7~

Some illustrative non-limiting examples of L~wis acids include BX3 t AlX3, TiX3, SnX4, Ug4, 4 3 5 ZnX2, and FPX3, wherein X is halogen, acetoxy, alkoxy, or aryloxy.
Protic acids are well known to those skilled in the art. Basically, according to the standard and accepted definition of a protic acid it is a substance which gives up a proton~ i.e., it is a proton donor.
More ~pecifically, it is a substance which contains hydrogen which hydrogen under appropriate conditions forms hydrogen ions, H+, or protons. The protic acids include the inorganic protic acids and the organic protic acids. Particularly useful organic protic acids are the organic sulfonic acids. Some illustrat-ive non-limitin$ examples of protic acid~ include HCl~ H2S04, H3P04, H2C03, m ~hanesulfonic acid, ~ri-fluorometh~ne sulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid, methane phosphonic acid, and HBr.
Th migture of the Lewis acid and the protic 25 acid which fo~s the catalyst system of the instant invention contains an amount of protic acid efec~ive to cnhance or improve the catalytie activity of said mixture. ~7enerally, this mixture contains a weigh~
8c~-3500 ratio of Lewis acid ~o protic acid of from about ?0:1 to about 1:5.
It is further contemplated that the instan~
catalyst system co~prised of a physical mixture of at least one Lewis acid and at least one protic acid would be effective in catalyzing any transesterifica~ion reac~ion. Thus, while the instant disclosure and exa~ples are directed to the formation of aliphatic aromatic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates from dialiphatic carbonates and aliphatic aromatic carbonates, respect-ively, it is contempla~ed that this catalyst system would be effective in ~he forma~ion of other esters via a transesterification process.
The instant catalyst system contains a physical mixture of at lea~t one Lewis acid and at least one protic acid. Thus, for example, the instant system may contain only one Lewis acid admixed with one protic acid; two different Lewis acids admixed with one protic acid; ~wo dif~erent pro~ic acid~ admixed wi~h one Lewis acid; or two or more differen~ L~wis acids ad-mixed with two or msre different protic acids.

The data inTable I clearly illustrates that the processes of the instant invention, i.e. those utili-zing the catalyst system comprised of a physical mixture of a Lewis aeid and a pro~ic acid, are more eficient ln producing the aliphatic aroma~ic carbon-ates and the diaromatic carbonates from the dialiphatic cabonates than the process utilizing a ca~alyst comp-rised of only a Lewis acid. Thus, a comparison of Example 1 with Examples 4 and 7 shows that the processes of the instant invention result in greater amoun~s of both the aliphatic aromatic carbonates and diaromatic carbonates being formPd than does the process falling outside the scope of the instant invention. A comparison of Example 2 with Example 5- shows that the instant process yields a greater amount of ~he combined diaromatic carbonate and aliphatic aromatic carbonate than does ~he prior art process which utilizes only the Lewis acid as the catalyst. A comparison of Example 3 with Example 6 shows that ~he process utilizing the catalyst of the ins~ant invention yields greater amounts of both the diaroma~ic carbonate ~nd the aliphatic aromatic carbonate ~han does the proress utilizing only the Lewis acid as a catalyst.
Obviously, other modifications and ~ariations of the present inventlon are possible in light of ~he above ~eachings. It is, ~herefore, to be under-stood that changes may be made in ~he particular em-bodiments of the invention described which are within 7~
the full intended scope of the invention as defined by the ~ppended claims.
