Process for continuously preparing unsaturated carboxylic anhydrides of the general formula I
R—C(O)—O—C(O)—R (I)
in which R is an unsaturated organic radical having 2 to 12 carbon atoms
by transanhydridization of an aliphatic carboxylic anhydride with a carboxylic acid of the general formula II
R—COOH (II)
in which R is as defined above
in a rectification column having an upper, middle and lower region, characterized in that
f) an inert boiling oil is initially charged in the bottom of the column,
g) the reactants are fed into a reaction region in stoichiometric ratios,
h) the carboxylic acid formed as the by-product is withdrawn at the top of the column,
i) the unconverted reactants are recycled into the reaction region and
j) the product of the formula I is obtained via a side draw, preferably between the middle and lower column region.
将通式I
R—C(O)—O—C(O)—R (I)
中R为具有2至12个碳原子的不饱和有机基团
通过将脂肪族
羧酸酐与通式II
R—COOH (II)
中R如上所定义的
羧酸进行酸酐转化反应的过程
在具有上部、中部和下部区域的精馏塔中进行,其特征在于
f) 最初在塔底充入惰性沸腾油,
g) 反应物以
化学计量比进入反应区域,
h) 作为副产物形成的
羧酸在塔顶处被抽出,
i) 未反应的反应物被循环回反应区域,
j) 通过侧抽取获得通式I的产物,最好在中部和下部塔区域之间。
