Abstract:

Process for the preparation of an ester of a C22-C40-monocarboxylic acid Esterification of a C22-C40-monocarboxylic acid with alcohols in the presence of an acidic ion exchanger as the catalyst gives esters having a very low metal ion content, low conductivity and very good thermal and color stability.

Description

2~2~3~
HOECHST AKTIENGE5ELLSCHAFT HOE 89/F 211 ~r. DA/gm Description Process for the preparation of an ester of ~ C~-C~O-monocar~o~ylic acid ~he invention relates to a process for the preparation o~
an ester of a C22-C40-monocarboxylic acid having a low content of metal ions and low electrical conductivity.

Industrial pla8tic8, in particular tho~e based on poly-esters, polycarbonates, polyaryl ether sulfones or polyether ketones have particular resistance to mechan-ical and/or thermal stress. However, the functional groups which are pre~ent in these plastics are suscept-ible to degradation reactions. If degradation reactions occur, the mechanical and thermal propertie~ of the plastics are impaired~ Degradation reaction~ of thi~ type such as, for example, tran6es~erifica~ions, are promoted by metal ions and in particular hare by ~odium ions.

In many applications it i5 essenti l to suppress degrad=
ation reactions of this type and ~o the plastic molding compositions must contain only insignificant amounts of metal ionsO Lubricants and release agents for moldinq compositions of this type must likewi~e independently ~atisfy the hi~h purity requirement~.

The preparation of lubricant waxes by e~teri~ication of long-chain carboxylic acids with alcohol~ normally employs, as catalysts, protonic catalysts ~uch as H2SO4, p-toluenesulfonic acid, H3POzl or Zn compounds or Sn compounds. In this procednre, the cataly~t must be deactivated after the reaction~ The re~ulting salts either remain in the product or mu~t be ~eparated in a complex operation, for example by extraction or distillatio~.

, , : , .

20203~1 Although the use of ion exchangers as esterifica~ion catalysts in the non-aqueous medium has been disclos~d (cf. US-A-3,90,073), this use is limited to the prepar ation of low molecular weigh~, dissolved compound~.

The object of the invention is to provide an esterifi-cation process in which esters of long-~hain carboxylic acids having an extremely low metal ion content axs obtained in a single step.

It has been found that this objec~ can be achieved if the esterification cataly~t used is an acidic ion exchanger.

The present i~vention accordingly provides a process for the preparation of an ester of a C22-C40-monocarboxylic acid by esterification of the carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises using an acid ion exchanger as the catalys~.

The process according to the invention employs a C22-C40-, premprises using a C24-C34-monocarboxylic acid. Examples of suitable acids are tetracosanoic acid, lignoceric acid, cerotic acid, montanic acid and melis~ic acid. Preference is given to montanic acid, in particular industri~l montanic acid which is a mixture of C2q-C34-monocarboxylic acids and is obtained by oxidation of crude montan wa~O
Most particular preference i8 given to an acid which h~s an acid number of above 120, a content of Na ions of below 10 ppm and a conductivity of le~s than 150 ~S.

Suitable alcohols for the process according to the invention are mono- and poly-hydr$c alcohols having 2 to 18 carbon atoms and 1 to 6 OH groups, preferably C2~C6-polyol~ having 2 to 6 OH group~. Alcohol~ of this type are lauryl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,4-butanediol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol and glycerol. Among the~e alcohols, preference i8 given to the use of 1,2-ethanediol and trimethylolpropane.

.

2~20~

The es~erification ca~alyst is an acidic ion exchanger.
Suitable ion exchangers are ca~ion exchangers, which are commercially aYailable from a number of manufacturer~.
Particularly suitable are polytstyrenesulfonic acids), for example having a particle size of 0.1 to 2.0 mm. The ion exchanger is used in an amount from 2.0 to 0.1 % by weight, relative to the total batch.

The reaction is carried out in the melt at a temperature of 100 to 135, preferably 115 to 125DC. This reaction can be carried out under atmo~pheric pres~ure or under reduced pressure, and it i~ also pos~i~le to use an inert gas atmosphere. The reaction time is 1 to 10, preferably 3 to 7 hours. In this reaction, the ion exchanger func-tions not only as a cataly~t bu~ as an adsorbent for polar substances which impair the thermal stability.

After the e~terification, the ion exchanger is removed by filtration and freed from adhering products by wa~hing with a solvent, for example toluene or CH2C12. The ion exchanger can be then be reu~ed. Regeneration i~ only necessa~y after repeated use.

The esters which have been prepared by the process according to the invention have very good thermal stabil-ity, high color stability, a very low ion content and low conductivity.

The invention is further explained by means of the examples which follow.

The conductivity was determined by adding 100 cm3 of deionized wa~er to 10 g of wax and heating the mixture in a 300 cm3 Erlenmeyer flask for 10 minutes under reflux.
The agueous phase wa~ separated off and the pH of this phase and itB conductivity at room temperature were measured. A calibrated conductometer wa~ used for the measurement.
