2,4,6-Tri (6-aminocaproic acid) -1,3,5-triazine (TACT) is a tricarboxylic acid that is produced by reacting ε-aminocaproic acid with cyanuric chloride and is used as a corrosion protection agent in aqueous systems and as a trifunctional building block for branched and Star-shaped ( dendrimers ) polyamides are used.

presentation

Looking for new pesticides 1963 Triaminocapronsäuretriazin of ε-aminocaproic acid, was established in caustic soda and cyanuric chloride shown and described for the first time.

Synthesis of triaminocaproic acid triazine

An inexpensive source of ε-aminocaproic acid is ε-caprolactam , which is converted into the readily water-soluble sodium 6-aminohexanoate by basic hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide by boiling under reflux for one hour.

Alkaline hydrolysis of ε-caprolactam

Cyanuric chloride has three chlorine atoms with different reactivity towards nucleophiles , which must be taken into account when carrying out the reaction as well as the tendency of cyanuric chloride to hydrolyze in aqueous media, especially in an alkaline environment.

Therefore, the three reaction components are first allowed to react for two hours at 0 to 5 ° C., then kept at 50 ° C. for three hours and then heated to the boil for a further 30 minutes. The TACT formed in 76% yield is precipitated by acidification. Approx. 20% of the so-called ammelidinedihexanoic acid is obtained, the disubstitution product of cyanuric chloride in which the third chlorine atom has been exchanged for a hydroxyl group by hydrolysis in an alkaline environment.

In other patents, cyanuric chloride suspended in water is presented and an aqueous-alkaline solution of the sodium salt of 6-aminohexanoic acid is added.

TACT synthesis in single steps

According to the Degussa process, an alkaline ε-aminocaproic acid solution is added to the cyanuric chloride suspension, which TACT precipitates at 90 ° C. and is filtered off while still hot. The product yield is 97.4% and the residual ammelidinedihexanoic acid content is only 0.5%. The mother liquor containing aminocaproic acid is fed back into the process.

The TACT synthesis from wastewater containing caprolactam is described in detail as a technically feasible route.

properties

2,4,6-Tri (6-aminocaproic acid) -1,3,5-triazine is a white to light beige, odorless crystalline solid which is hardly soluble in water at neutral pH and very readily soluble in alkaline pH. TACT has a low water hazard potential.

use

Triaminocaproic acid triazine is a so-called ash-free and low-foaming inhibitor for the corrosion of iron and iron alloys in aqueous systems and is mostly used as a potassium or triethanolamine salt in concentrations of 0.25 to 1.1% active ingredient content. Compared to triaminoalkanoic acid triazines with shorter alkyl chains, TACT shows the highest anticorrosive activity. The anti-corrosive effect comes about through adsorption of the TACT molecules with their carboxylate functions on the metal surface, with longer alkyl chains leading to thicker and denser protective layers.

Triaminocaproic triazine is a highly effective corrosion inhibitor even in hard water and in multi-metal systems. By adding TACT or its alkali metal or triethanolamine salts, water-containing coolants and antifreezes , hydraulic fluids , metal working fluids and cooling lubricants such as drilling and cutting emulsions (English metal working fluids ), as well as cooling water circuits and aqueous paints can be given an effective anti-corrosive effect.

Triaminocaproic acid triazine was also used as a comonomer, together with ε-aminocaproic acid, with the main monomer ε-caprolactam for the production of branched polyamide fibers which, despite the lack of amino end groups, are characterized by a high affinity for acidic dyes. Despite the branches in the polymer chain, the copolymers can be spun well and the fibers obtained have the same melt viscosity as the starting polymer, which indicates the high thermal stability of the copolyamide.

With TACT as the core, three-armed star-shaped polymers with high thermal stability can also be produced by copolymerization with ε-caprolactam, which show the same properties as a corresponding linear copolyamide even after significantly shorter polymerization times.

three-armed star polymer with TACT core

Because of the lower hydrodynamic radius typical of star polymers than linear polymers of the same composition and molar mass, the copolyamides obtained have significantly lower melt and solution viscosities, so that - at least theoretically - thinner-walled shapes and structures by z. B. injection molding should be achievable.
