[0312] Step 1: Irgacure TM Acylation of 2959

[0313] 9g (40mmol) Irgacure TM 2959 was dissolved in 150ml ethyl acetate at 40°C. 4.45 g (44 mmol) triethylamine were added. A solution of 9.20 g (40 mmol) 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionyl bromide in 25 ml ethyl acetate was added dropwise and the reaction was continued at room temperature for 16 hours. A further 2.23 g (22 mmol) of triethylamine were added, followed by 4.6 g (20 mmol) of 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionyl bromide in 10 ml of ethyl acetate. The reaction was allowed to continue for another 1 hour at room temperature. Precipitated salts were removed by filtration. The ethyl acetate fraction was washed twice with a mixture of 50 ml water and 50 ml brine, washed over MgSO 4 Dry and evaporate under reduced pressure. The acylation product is in GraceResolve provided by GRACE TM Purific...

Abstract

A specific RAFT functionalized photoinitiator is disclosed as well as its use in radiation curable compositions, inks and inkjet inks. The specific RAFT functionalized photoinitiator can be advantageously used to reduce migrateables and bad odour.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to RAFT functionalized photoinitiators and their use in UV curable compositions, such as UV curable inks, especially UV curable inkjet inks. Background technique [0002] Flexographic printing systems are increasingly being replaced by industrial inkjet printing systems for packaging applications due to their flexibility of use, such as variable data printing, which when incorporated into production lines allows even last-minute packaging appearance changes . Radiation curable inkjet inks are particularly preferred because high quality images can be printed on non-absorbent ink receivers such as plastic packaging materials. [0003] For food and pharmaceutical packaging, so-called "low-migration" UV-curable inkjet inks have been designed where the amount of migratory compounds after UV curing is minimized. Such low migration inkjet inks are exemplified in EP 2053101 A (AGFA), EP 2671722 A (AGFA) and WO 2016 / 007593 A (SUN...
