摘要:
An improved process for producing benzophenone-azine in which a catalyst can be removed, recovered and recycled is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of:(a) oxidizing benzophenone-imine with molecular oxygen in the presence of cuprous chloride catalyst to produce an oxidation reaction mixture containing benzophenone-azine;(b) contacting the oxidation reaction mixture obtained in step (a) with an aqueous solution containing ammonium chloride and hydrochloric acid to decompose the remaining benzophenone-imine substantially without causing decomposition of the produced benzophenone-azine and simultaneously to extract the catalyst from the oxidation reaction mixture;(c) separating the oxidation reaction mixture containing benzophenone-azine after the extraction in step (b) to recover benzophenone-azine as a solution;(d) neutralizing the catalyst-containing aqueous solution separated after the extraction step (b) with ammonia and then contacting the neutralized catalyst-containing aqueous solution with benzophenone-imine to extract the catalyst into benzophenone-imine; and(e) separating the benzophenone-imine solution containing the catalyst obtained after extraction in step (d) from the aqueous layer and recycling said solution to step (a) to reuse as a catalyst for step (a), without isolating the catalyst from said benzophenone-imine solution.
摘要:
A process for continuously preparing benzophenone-azines comprising oxidizing benzophenone-imines with molecular oxygen or a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a copper halide catalyst is disclosed. The oxidation reaction is carried out in a multistage system under an oxygen partial pressure gradually decreasing from the former stage to the latter stage and at a conversion gradually decreasing from the former stage to the latter stage, while controlling the conversion so that the molar ratio of the benzophenone-imines to the copper halide in the final stage be maintained at 1 or more. By the process, the continuous reaction can stably be performed at a high conversion of the benzophenone-imines without involving insolubilization and sedimentation of the catalyst.

A process for preparing hydrazine hydrohalogenide is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of:(a) oxidizing benzophenone-imines with molecular oxygen in the presence of a copper halide catalyst to produce benzophenone-azines;(b) contacting the oxidation reaction mixture with an aqueous solution containing a hydrohalogenic acid thereby hydrolyzing the benzophenone-azines to produce a hydrazine hydrohalogenide and, simultaneously, extracting and removing the catalyst with the hydrohalogenic acid-containing aqueous solution to obtain an aqueous solution containing the hydrazine hydrohalogenide and the catalyst;(c) separating the aqueous solution and adjusting the solution to a pH of from 3 to 7 with an alkali;(d) contacting the aqueous solution with benzophenone-imines to extract the catalyst;(e) separating the catalyst-containing benzophenone-imines solution from the aqueous solution containing the hydrazine hydrohalogenide to recover the hydrazine hydrohalogenide and to recycle the catalyst-containing benzophenone-imines solution to step (a).The process is advantageous in that the catalyst is easily recovered for reuse.
