Title: Improvements in the production of substituted formamides
IPC: C07D295/182
Filed: 1952-10-28
Abstract: In a process for the production of substituted formamides by the reaction of primary or secondary amines and carbon monoxide at elevated temperature and under increased pressure in the presence of carbonyl-forming metals having an atomic weight between 52 and 59 or their compounds, the reaction is carried out in the presence of water.  Amine starting materials mentioned are all primary and secondary amines, preferably those miscible with water such as methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine and diethylamine and amines of limited miscibility or which are immiscible such as aniline, piperidine and aliphatic amines with long aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals.  Organic liquids miscible with water such as lower alcohols, tetrahydrofurane and acetone may be added, preferably when amines of limited miscibility or immiscible with water are employed. Gases containing carbon monoxide, e.g. water gas or mixtures of carbon monoxide and nitrogen may be employed. Suitable catalysts are all of the carbonyl-forming metals having an atomic weight between 52 and 59, preferably nickel and cobalt, these metals being used in finely-divided form or in the form of cyanides or oxides.  The process may be carried out discontinuously or continuously, e.g. in trickling towers.  The reaction products are subjected to distillation to obtain the desired products.  Agents which absorb water such as sodium sulphate or zinc chloride may be added to the reaction products before distillation.  In examples: dimethylformamide is obtained by heating aqueous dimethylamine and carbon monoxide with nickel cyanide under pressure (1); diethylformamide is obtained by leading aqueous diethylamine over nickel cyanide applied to silica gel in a trickling tower under carbon monoxide at elevated pressure (2); cyclohexylformamide is obtained by treating cyclohexylamine and water with carbon monoxide at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of nickel powder (3); and formylpiperidine is obtained by treating piperidine with carbon monoxide in the presence of water, methanol and nickel cyanide under similar conditions.
