Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing 4′-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid. Biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid has attracted attention as a raw material of polyester or aramid resin having excellent properties such as high heat resistance, high elasticity and high tension. -Carboxylic acid is a useful chemical as a raw material for producing this biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid. That is, 4'-
By oxidizing isopropyl biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid with molecular oxygen, biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid can be obtained easily and in high yield. 2.

4'-formylbiphenyl, which was then dissolved in acetic acid
A method of oxidizing in the presence of a cobalt, manganese, or bromine catalyst. However, these conventional methods have the following problems. That is, the method (1) is a reaction requiring a large amount of aluminum chloride, which is difficult to regenerate and is highly corrosive, as an acetylation catalyst, and oxidation by hypochlorite is also highly corrosive.
It is difficult to implement industrially. The method (2) is not practical because the raw material 4,4'-diacetylbiphenyl is obtained by a Grignard reaction that consumes expensive magnesium. The method (3) uses, as in the method (1), nitrobenzene or carbon disulfide which is difficult to regenerate and is highly corrosive, using iron chloride, aluminum chloride, or the like as a catalyst, and is highly flammable and highly toxic. As a result, 4,4'-dicyclohexylbiphenyl is obtained as a raw material, which is problematic in industrial practice. Furthermore, when this raw material is oxidized, an expensive cyclohexyl group is oxidized and lost, so that it is industrially difficult to carry out. (4) In the method, in order to obtain 4-alkyl-4'-formylbiphenyl as a raw material, highly corrosive hydrogen fluoride and
Since BF 3 is used, it is necessary to make the reactor expensive and corrosion-resistant, and disubstitutes other than the 4,4'-form are generated, so that the purification becomes complicated. is there. Each of the above-mentioned processes conventionally proposed as a process for producing biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid has its own drawbacks, and efforts have been made to improve them, but they have not yet been able to achieve a sufficient effect. Therefore biphenyl-4,4 '
-The high price of dicarboxylic acids is an obstacle to expanding applications. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present inventors have overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art in studying a method for producing biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid by oxidizing a biphenyl derivative with molecular oxygen. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to develop a method for producing biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, which can easily obtain a raw material biphenyl derivative and can be easily purified in a high yield. As a result, 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-dicarboxylic acid can be produced by oxidizing 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl, and this 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-dicarboxylic acid is oxidized with molecular oxygen. By doing so, it was found that biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid could be easily obtained in high yield, and the present invention was completed. According to the present invention, 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl is oxidized with molecular oxygen in an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid solution having 3 or less carbon atoms in the presence of a cobalt catalyst and / or a manganese catalyst. A process for producing 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid is provided. (Physical properties of 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid) Table 1 shows physical and chemical properties of 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid, which is the object of the present invention, as identification data. (Method for producing 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid) Next, 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-carboxylic acid according to the present invention is used.
The method for producing 4-carboxylic acid will be described. First, 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl as a raw material used in the present invention is obtained by separating diisopropylbiphenyls from a mixture having a high content of diisopropyl obtained by propylation and transalkylation of biphenyl by a known method, by distillation. Then, by utilizing the difference in crystallinity from the diisopropyl biphenyls, 4,4′-diisopropyl biphenyl is separated by crystallization and has a high purity, that is, 9
Purity of 9.8% or more was obtained and used. The starting material 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl is oxidized with molecular oxygen in an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid solvent having 3 or less carbon atoms in the presence of a cobalt catalyst and / or a manganese catalyst to give 4'-isopropylbiphenyl- Produce 4-carboxylic acid. The amount of the solvent used is 2 to 20% based on the total weight of the raw material and the target 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid.
Weight times are convenient to use. Examples of the solvent include aliphatic monocarboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid, and acetic acid is particularly preferable. The cobalt catalyst and the manganese catalyst may be any metal or compound as long as they can be dissolved in the oxidation reaction system. For example, oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, basic carbonates, and halides And the like; salts with organic carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, naphthenic acid and aromatic carboxylic acids. Among these, preferred are fatty acid salts, particularly acetate salts. Further, the temperature of the oxidation reaction is preferably from 100 ° C to 240 ° C. The oxidation reaction pressure may be higher than the pressure required for the solvent to maintain a liquid phase under the reaction temperature condition, and the higher the oxygen partial pressure, the better. An oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 to 8 kg / cm 2 -abs. Is sufficient.
In the case of molecular oxygen diluted with an inert gas, such as air, the total pressure is in the range of 0 to 30 kg / cm 2 gauge pressure. The oxidation reaction can be carried out in either a batch system or a continuous system. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples. Example 200 In a stainless steel autoclave, 10 g of 4,4′-diisopropylbiphenyl, 100 g of glacial acetic acid, 6.4 g of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate, and 18.9 g of manganese acetate tetrahydrate were placed, and the temperature was 180 ° C. and the gauge pressure was 15 kg / g. While maintaining a pressure of 2 cm2 and stirring vigorously, air was converted to standard conditions at a rate of 24 per hour.
Introduced for 5 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled to 90 ° C., the content was filtered, the precipitate was washed with a small amount of acetic acid, and then dried to obtain 2.81 g of a precipitate (A) composed of crude 4′-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid. . Dissolve 2.7 g of this precipitate in 100 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, add 0.5 g of activated carbon, filter, remove the solvent from the filtrate, recrystallize the remaining solid from 100 ml of benzene, and purify 99.9%.
4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid 0.54
g was obtained. When the precipitate (A) was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (* 1), 80.5% by weight of 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid, biphenyl-4,
The composition consisted of 9.0% by weight of 4'-dicarboxylic acid, the balance being mainly the cobalt and manganese acetates of the catalyst. Further, the filtrate obtained by separating the precipitate (A) by filtration and the washing liquid were combined and (B) analyzed by gas chromatography (* 2). As a result, 4′-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid was obtained.
4.60 g, 2.64 g of unreacted 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl
g was included. Therefore, from the results of analysis of the precipitate (A), the filtrate and the washing solution (B), the yield based on the starting material 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl was 68.0% for 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid and biphenyl-4,4 2.5% of '-dicarboxylic acid,
Unreacted 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl was 26.4%. The selectivity for 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid was as high as 92.4%. In addition, purity 99.8-99.9% obtained by refine | purifying by the said method.
10 g of 4'-isopropylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid
