Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of methyl alcohol, C10 aromartic and 2-methylnaphthalene alkylation Synthetic 2, the method for 6-dimethylnaphthalene.
Background technology
2,6-dialkyl group naphthalene (2, be to produce the important precursor of novel high-performance polyester material 6-DANs), wherein 2,6-DMN is considered to have most a chemical of application prospect, it can be oxidized into 2, the 6-naphthalic acid, and the latter is a raw material of producing high performance material PEN (PEN).The selling at exorbitant prices of PEN has at present restricted it and has come into the market on a large scale, and the principal element that influences the PEN price is 2, and the 6-dimethylnaphthalene has complex manufacturing now, and production cost is higher.Traditional BP-Amoco complex technical process, step be many, yield poorly, and by product environmental pollution serious (Asian ChemicalNews, Nov.16,1998; Chemical Market Reporter, Aug.2,1999).US Patent 6121501 (M.Motoyuki, K.Yamamoto, shortcomings such as A.V.Sapre et al.) selective conversion by the dimethylnaphthalene isomer mixture prepares 2 with separating, and the 6-dimethylnaphthalene is also various owing to its processing step, overall yield is low are not applied.Ethylization (the G.Takeuchi of report by naphthalene also arranged, Y.Shimoura, T.Hara, Catal.Lett.41 (1996) 195.), propylated (J.Wang, J.N.Park, Y.K.Park et al.Catal.Today 97 (2004) 283.) and butylation (R.P.Marathe, S.Mayadevi, S.A.Pardhy et al.J.Mol.Catal.A 181 (2002) 201.) product comes Synthetic 2, the 6-naphthalic acid.But Comparatively speaking, direct Synthetic 2, the 6-dimethylnaphthalene has more potential value, because there is not the variation of carbonatoms in the oxidising process of subsequent production PEN, and the easier oxidation of methyl.Naphthalene or methylnaphthalene alkylated reaction on zeolite molecular sieve is considered to a kind of efficient, simple 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene synthetic route, especially the direct Synthetic 2 of methylnaphthalene alkylation, the 6-dimethylnaphthalene, utilized the shape selectivity catalysis of molecular sieve, its technology is simple, and is considered to have very high potential using value.Kobe Steel and (the M Motoyuki of ExxonMobil company, K Yamamoto, S Vishwanath, et al.US, Patent.6011190 (2000) .) reported a kind of alkylation by methylnaphthalene on the MCM-22 zeolite catalyst and methyl alcohol, naphthalene and methylnaphthalene transalkylation or isomerization in another reactor subsequently, you come Synthetic 2 with circulation at separating for several times, the technology of 6-dimethylnaphthalene, but because its processing step is many, material consumption is big, and production cost is also very high.WO02060581 reports that (L.D.Lillwita is C.Song) at process FeF

2Carry out the direct Synthetic 2 of alkylated reaction of methylnaphthalene and methyl alcohol on the HZSM-5 molecular sieve of modifying, the 6-dimethylnaphthalene, can obtain 60% 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene selectivity and 1.8~2.2 2,6-/2, the ratio of 7-dimethylnaphthalene isomer, but 2, the synthesis yield of 6-dimethylnaphthalene is still lower.In addition, report (C.Zhang is arranged recently, X.W.Guo, C.S.Song et al.Catalysis Today 149 (2010) 196-201.) claim on HZSM-5 molecular sieve, to have obtained respectively through tetraethoxy modification and steam treatment 5.3% and 7.6% 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene yield, and think and improving 2,6-/2, on the ratio of 7-dimethylnaphthalene isomer, the acidity of zeolite molecular sieve is regulated more more favourable than the control of duct size, but the side reaction of following is more serious, and catalyst deactivation is fast.
At present, though methylnaphthalene and methyl alcohol is the alkylated reaction Synthetic 2 on molecular sieve, the selectivity of product of 6-dimethylnaphthalene can be improved by the modification of acidic zeolite and structure, but 2, the yield of 6-dimethylnaphthalene product is on the low side, and catalyst stability is not good, has influenced the industrial application of this technology.
