DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0006]
The present inventors found that when an amine compound is
synthesized by imino-hydrogenating an aldehyde compound, if a
25 compound derived from a phosphorus compound used for a
hydroformylation reaction remains, yield of the reaction is reduced.
In order to improve the yield of the reaction, after the
3
hydroformylation reaction, the obtained aldehyde compound and the
compound derived from the phosphorus compound need to be separated
beforehand.
[0007]
5 However, when the boiling point of the aldehyde compound is close
to the boiling point of the compound derived from the phosphorus
compound, it is difficult to separate the compounds by distillation
in some cases. Furthermore, when the phosphorus compound is
hydrolyzed such that it can be separated by distillation, the solution
10 becomes acidic, and thus the aldehyde compound loses stability in
some cases. In addition, when the acidic solution obtained after
the hydrolysis is neutralized with a base compound, so as to improve
the stability of the aldehyde compound, the base compound causes
polymerization/decomposition of the aldehyde compound, and thus the
15 stability deteriorates in some cases.
For this reason, the present invention aims to establish a
purification technique of an aldehyde compound that separates an
aldehyde compound and a compound derived from a phosphorus compound
while maintaining stability of the aldehyde compound as a target
20 substance.
[0008]
As a result of performing intensive examination to solve the
above problem, the present inventors found a method for separating
a compound derived from a phosphorus compound while maintaining
25 stability of an aldehyde compound by using a predetermined base
compound.

phosphite, triethyl phosphite, tripropyl phosphite, triisopropyl
phosphite, trimethylphenyl phosphite, and
15
tris(2, 4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite. One kind of these can be
used singly, or two or more kinds thereof can be used in combination.
A hydroformylation reaction using these raw materials can be
performed such that it satisfies the following condition (1), the
5 condition (2) , and/or the condition (3) . In the present embodiment,
it is preferable for the reaction to satisfy two conditions including
the condition (1) and the condition (2).
[0035]
(1) The amount of the metal of groups 8 to 10 included in the
10 metal compound of groups 8 to 10 is 0.01 ppmmol to 300 ppmmol,

[0036]
The method satisfying such conditions can achieve excellent
productivity of an aldehyde compound and can obtained high yield,
5 even when the amount of the metal of groups 8 to 10 is reduced.
Presumably, because the amount of the phosphorus compound used is
increased, the activity of the metal compound of groups 8 to 10 is
improved more than expected, hence the aforementioned effects are
obtained. It is also considered that the compound represented by
10 Formula (al) or (a2) exerts a strong steric or electronic influence,
hence the aforementioned effects are obtained.
[0037]
Specifically, an aldehyde compound can be synthesized in the
following manner.
15 First, a rhodium compound, a phosphorus compound, and the
compound as a raw material represented by Formula (al) or (a2) are
put into a reactor. Then hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas are
supplied into the reactor, and in this state, a hydroformylation
reaction can be performed at a temperature of 30°C to 120°C under
20 a pressure of 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa for a reaction time of 1 hour to
8 hours. Herein, a uniform reaction system including only an oil
phase or a double layer reaction system including a water layer and
an oil layer can be appropriately selected to perform the
hydroformylation reaction.
25 In this way, the compound represented by Formula (al) or (a2)
is hydroformylated, and an aldehyde compound is synthesized.
[0038]
17
The hydroformylation reaction can be performed without using
a solvent, and can use a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic
compound, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon
compound, or an alcohol. The hydroformylation reaction can be
5 performed in a solvent such as toluene, benzene, hexane, octane,
acetonitrile, benzonitrile, o-dichlorobenzene, ethanol, pentanol,
or octanol. The hydroformylation reaction of the present embodiment
exhibits excellent reactivity at a high concentration. Accordingly,
the hydroformylation reaction can be performed without using a
10 solvent. As a result, a step of evaporating a solvent and the like
become unnecessary, hence the reaction is performed by a simple step.
Furthermore, the volume efficiency is improved, and the production
efficiency becomes excellent.
[0039]
15 By the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, an
aldehyde compound represented by the following Formula (bl) is
synthesized from the compound of Formula (al). Moreover, from the
compound of Formula (a2), an aldehyde compound represented by the
following Formula (b2) is synthesized.
[0042]
When n is 1 or 2, and X is a group other than a hydrogen atom,
the compound represented by Formula (bl) or (b2) can be obtained in
5 the form of either a "compound in which the 2-position and the
5-position have been substituted with a predetermined group
(hereinafter, the compound will be referred to as a "2,5-isomer")"
or a "compound-in which the 2-position and the 6-position have been
substituted with a predetermined group (hereinafter, the compound
10 will be referred to as a "2, 6-isomer")", or can be obtained in the
form of a mixture containing these isomers at any ratio. Depending
on the steric configuration of the substituent, each of the 2, 5-isomer
and the 2, 6-isomer can be obtained in any form including an endo-endo
isomer, an endo-exo-isomer, and an exo-exo-isomer, or can be obtained
15 in the form of a mixture containing at least two kinds of these isomers
at any ratio.
Herein, when n is 0, and X is a group other than a hydrogen atom,
the compound represented by Formula (bl) or (b2) can be obtained in
the form of either a cis-isomer or a trans-isomer, or can be obtained
20 in the form of a mixture containing these isomers as any ratio.
In Formula, (bl) or (b2), X and n have the same definition as
X in Formula (al) or (a2).
[0043]
In the present embodiment, the compound represented by Formula
19
(bl) is preferably obtained, and examples of such a compound include
a compound represented by the following Formula (2).
[0044]
5 [0045]
In Formula (2), X has the same definition as X in Formula (1) .
Herein, the aldehyde compound represented by Formula (2) can
be obtained in the form of either a "compound in which the 2-position
of bicyclo[2.2.l]heptane has been substituted with the substituent
10 X and the 5-position thereof has been substituted with an aldehyde
group (hereinafter, the compound will be referred to as a
"2,5-isomer")" or a "compound in which the 2-position has been
substituted with che substituent X and the 6-position has been
substituted with an aldehyde group (hereinafter, the compound will
15 be referred to as a "2,6-isomer")", or can be obtained in the form
of a mixture containing these isomers at any ratio. Furthermore,
depending on the steric configuration of the substituent, each of
the 2, 5-isomer and the 2, 6-isomer can be obtained in any form including
an endo-endo isomer, an endo-exo-isomer, and an exo-exo-isomer, or
20 can be obtained in the form of a mixture containing at least two kinds
of these isomers at any ratio.
After the hydroformylation reaction ends, a target aldehyde
20
compound can be obtained by performing a purification step which will
be described later.
[0046]
5 The purification method of an aldehyde compound of the present
embodiment includes a step of neutralizing a reaction solution, which
contains the aldehyde compound obtained as above, by adding water
and the following base compound to the reaction solution, and a step
of distilling the neutralized reaction solution.
10 The reaction solution which contains the aldehyde compound
contains the aldehyde compound represented by the Formula (bl) or
(b2) , a phosphorus compound, and a compound containing rhodium. In
the present embodiment, the "compound containing rhodium" also
includes any of a compound in the form of a complex consisting of
15 the rhodium compound added as a raw material, the phosphorus compound,
CO/H2 and a free" rhodium compound.
[0047]
When water and a base compound are added to the reaction solution,
water and an aqueous solution of a base compound may be added, or
20 only a solution containing a base compound may be added.
The amount of water to be mixed is 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass,
preferably 5.0% by mass to 9.0% by mass, more preferably 6.0% by mass
to 9.0% by mass, with respect to the total amount of the solution
of the mixture.. This is the total amount of water and water of the
25 aqueous solution of a base compound.
In the present embodiment, the base compound used in the reaction
is at least one kind selected from among carbonate and hydrogen
21
carbonate of metals of group I on the periodic table and carbonate
and hydrogen carbonate of metals of group II on the periodic table.
[0048]
Examples of the base compound include sodium hydrogen carbonate,
5 sodium carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate,
calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and the like.
Herein, at a point in time when the base compound has been added,
i;n some cases, a reaction product (impurities) derived from the base
compound and the phosphorus compound is precipitated, or
10 alternatively, a reaction product (impurities) is precipitated
similarly to the still residue remaining after distillation.
Accordingly, from the viewpoint of industrial process, it is
preferable to use potassium hydrogen carbonate or potassium carbonate
as the base compound. If such bases containing potassium are used,
15 the precipitation of the aforementioned reaction product
(impurities) can be inhibited.
Particularly, potassium carbonate exhibits high solubility in
water and makes it possible to prepare a high-concentration aqueous
solution. Potassium carbonate can increase neutralization
20 efficiency from the viewpoint described above, and availability
thereof is high. Therefore, it can also be suitably used for mass
production.
[0049]
Specifically, purification of an aldehyde compound can be
25 performed as below.
A mixture of a compound containing rhodium, a phosphorus
compound, and a compound represented by Formula (bl) or (b2) is put
22
into a reactor. Then water is added thereto, and the resultant is
treated for a reaction time of 2 hours to 10 hours under normal pressure
at a temperature of 40°C to 80°C, preferably at 40°C to 50°C.
Thereafter, an aqueous solution of a base compound was added
5 thereto to perform a neutralization treatment. The conditions of
the neutralization treatment can be appropriately set according to
the manufacturing scale and the like. However, the neutralization
treatment is preferably performed within a temperature range of equal
to or higher than 40°C and equal to or lower than 50CC. Furthermore,
10 the pressure condition is preferably set to be a normal pressure,
and the neutralization is preferably performed for a reaction time
of 1 hour to 2 hours.
Moreover, in the present embodiment, after the neutralization
treatment, distillation and purification are performed under a
15 reduced pressure.
By these steps, it is possible to suitably separate a compound
derived from a phosphorus compound while maintaining stability of
the aldehyde compound represented by Formula (bl) or (b2).
Consequentially, it is possible to obtain an aldehyde compound, from
20 which a compound derived from a phosphorus compound has been separated
and removed, while maintaining the yield of the aldehyde compound
obtained by the preceding step.
In addition, in the purification step of the present embodiment,
after water is added and a heating treatment is performed, an aqueous
25 solution of a base compound is added. At this time, if the aqueous
solution of a base compound is added within the aforementioned
temperature range, it is possible to efficiently neutralize the
23
reaction system without the need to excessively cool the reaction
system. That is, if neutralization is performed within the
aforementioned temperature range, it is possible to improve the
production efficiency while maintaining stability of the aldehyde
5 compound.
The manufacturing method of an amine compound of the present
embodiment that will be described later and the manufacturing method
of an isocyanate compound using an amine compound obtained by the
aforementioned manufacturing method includes the purification method
10 of an aldehyde compound as a step. Accordingly, the manufacturing
methods are excellent in productivity and yield of the target
compounds.

The manufacturing method of an amine compound of the present
embodiment includes the aforementioned manufacturing method of an
25 aldehyde compound as in Step (a). Therefore, in Step (a), the
productivity and yield of the aldehyde compound are excellent, and
as a result, the productivity and yield of an amine compound as a
24
target compound also become excellent.
Herein, because Step (a) is the same as the step in the
"manufacturing method of an aldehyde compound", description of this
step will not be repeated.

In step (b) , the aldehyde compound represented by the Formula
(al) or (a2) that is obtained by Step (a) is iminated by being reacted
with ammonia, and hydrogen is added thereto in the presence of a
catalyst. In this way, an amine compound is synthesized.

As the catalyst, a metal catalyst such as nickel, platinum,
palladium, or ruthenium, and the like can be used. When the aldehyde
compound has a cyano group as a substituent, a -CH2-NH2 group is
generated by hydrogen reduction.
15 In this way, in Step (b), the aldehyde group of the aldehyde
compound becomes" an amino group by imination, and the cyano group
also becomes an amino group by hydrogen reduction. Consequentially,
an amine compound represented by the following Formula (cl) having
two amino groups is synthesized. Herein, when the aldehyde compound
20 represented by Formula (bl) in which X is a hydrogen atom is used,
an amine compound represented by the following Formula (c2) is
synthesized.
