摘要
A vinyl ether of the formula ROCHR1CH2OCH=CH2 wherein R is a C1-C8 alkyl group and R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl, aralkyl or aryl group is obtained by simultaneously reacting, in solution, and in the presence of an alkaline compound of an alkali metal as catalyst (1) acetylene, (2) an alkylene oxide of the formula FORM:0989883/C2/1 and (3) an alcohol ROH; also a vinyl sulphide of the formula HOCHR1CH2SCH=CH2 wherein R1 is as defined above is obtained by simultaneously reacting in solution in a solvent (1) acetylene, (2) an alkylene oxide of the above formula and (3) sodium or potassium hydrosulphide. In the reaction to form the vinyl ether another vinyl ether of the formula R(OCHR1CH2)nOCH=CH2 wherein n is an integer greater than 1, e.g. 2 or 3, is usually obtained as by-product. In one form of the process for forming the vinyl ether the alkylene oxide, preferably ethylene oxide, and preferably in solution in the alcohol, is introduced into the alcohol containing the catalyst and which is maintained above room temperature under acetylene pressure, and in another method the alcohol (together with the catalyst) and the alkylene oxide which is preferably in solution are introduced separately into a liquid medium composed of the alcohol reactant maintained at above room temperature and under acetylene pressure. Specified alkylene oxides are ethylene-, propylene- and styrene oxides and specified alcohols are methanol and tertiary butanol. Examples are given for the production of (a) 2-(t.-butoxy)ethyl vinyl ether and 2-(t.-butoxy-ethoxy)ethyl vinyl ether and (b) 2-methoxy-ethyl vinyl ether and 2-methoxyethoxyethyl vinyl ether, the alkaline catalyst being potassium t.-butoxide and potassium methoxide respectively. In preparing the vinyl sulphides a solution of the alkylene oxide may be introduced by a pump into a solution of the hydro sulphide maintained above room temperature and under acetylene pressure or the alkylene oxide and the hydrosulphide may be introduced separately and in solution into a liquid medium maintained above room temperature and under acetylene pressure. Water is the preferred solvent in the vinyl sulphide process but other solvents, e.g. an alcohol such as methanol, or dioxane, may also be used. The molar ratio of hydrosulphide to alkylene oxide is preferably about 2:1. The acetylene pressure in the production of the vinyl ether and vinyl sulphide is preferably above 350 p.s.i. and each process can be carried out continuously. Examples are given for the production of (a) 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl sulphide together with a small amount of 2-vinyloxyethyl vinyl sulphide and (b) 2-hydroxypropyl vinyl sulphide, the hydrosulphide used in each case being sodium hydrosulphide.
