Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 451,935, filed on March 14, 2023. U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 451,935 is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] Disclosed are methods and catalyst compositions for preparing organosilicon compounds. More specifically, the methods include isomerizing an internal olefin compound to form a terminal olefin compound, and hydrosilylating the terminal olefin compound to form a reaction product comprising the organosilicon compound. Background Art

[0004] Typical industrial hydrosilylation catalysts, such as Speier's catalyst and Karstedt's catalyst, are generally known to hydrosilylate terminal olefins, but are significantly less reactive in hydrosilylating internal olefins. When hydrosilylating a mixture of terminal and internal olefins, unreacted internal olefins may be disposed of, resulting in low feedstock efficiency. In some cases, high catalyst loadings and high reaction temperatures can be used to react internal olefins to alleviate this difficulty, but high catalyst loadings are not cost-effective, higher temperatures result in more power consumption, which reduces cost effectiveness, and high catalyst loadings and high temperatures can lead to excessive side reactions, which reduce quality and yield.

[0005] The steric aspect of the internal double bond and other factors influence the hydrosilylation reaction. Using Custer's catalyst, the hydrosilylation of oct-1-ene with trichlorosilane is quite rapid, but significant isomerization of the double bond occurs, and significant formation of the corresponding oct-2-ene occurs. See, for example, Meister et al., "Platinum Catalysis Revisited—Unraveling Principles of Catalytic Olefin Hydrosilylation," ACS Catal. 2016, 6, 1274-1284.

[0006] There is an industrial need to provide organosilicon compounds via hydrosilylation in a process with high yield and selectivity. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Method steps

[0059] The above starting materials are used in a method for preparing an organosilicon compound. The method comprises:

[0060] 1) Mixing starting materials, which include

[0061] A) an olefin component, the olefin component comprising

[0062] A-1) an internal olefin compound, and

[0063] Optional A-2) terminal olefin compound;

[0064] B) a silyl hydride compound having at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom per molecule; and

[0065] C) a catalyst composition comprising

[0066] C-1) a platinum hydrosilylation catalyst, and

[0067] C-2) an iridium(I) complex; and

[0068] and optionally D) a solvent, wherein starting material A), starting material B), starting material C) and starting material D) and their amounts are as described above. Step 1) produces an isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product comprising an organosilicon compound.

[0069] The step 1) of the method can be carried out in any convenient manner, such as mixing starting material A), starting material B) and starting material C), and starting material D when present. Typically, starting material A) and starting material B) react in a container or reactor to prepare the organosilicon compound. When the reaction is carried out at a temperature elevated or reduced as described below, the container or reactor can be heated or cooled in any suitable manner, for example, via a jacket, cover, exchanger, bath or coil. Starting material A), starting material B), starting material C) and optional starting material D) can be fed together or individually to a container, or can be arranged in a container in any order of addition and in any combination. For example, starting material A) and starting material C) and optional starting material D) can be added to a container, and starting material B) can be added thereto in an aliquot, alternatively starting material B) can be metered into a container continuously or intermittently in two or more aliquots.

[0070] Alternatively, starting material A), starting material B) and optional starting material D) can be first combined before adding, or can be added to a container sequentially, and thereafter starting material C) can be added to a container containing starting material A) and starting material B) and optional starting material D). Generally speaking, reference to "reaction mixture" herein generally refers to a mixture comprising starting material A), starting material B) and starting material C) and optional starting material D) (e.g., obtained by combining such starting materials, as described above). Each component of the catalyst composition can be added sequentially simultaneously or in any order. Starting material C-1) and starting material C-2) can be optionally combined by mixing with D) solvent before they are added to the container. Alternatively, one of starting material C-1) and starting material C-2) can be combined with D) solvent.

[0071] The method in step 1) may further comprise stirring the reaction mixture. When starting material A), starting material B), starting material C), and optional starting material D) are combined, for example, in their reaction mixture, stirring can enhance the mixing of starting material A), starting material B), starting material C), and optional starting material D) and their contact together. Such contact can independently employ other conditions, with stirring (e.g., simultaneously or sequentially) or without stirring (i.e., independently of stirring, alternatively in lieu of stirring). Other conditions can be adjusted to enhance the contact of starting material A) and starting material B), thereby enhancing the reaction (i.e., isomerization and hydrosilylation) to form a reaction product comprising an organosilicon compound.

[0072] The process in step 1) may further comprise heating the reaction mixture. The temperature depends on various factors, including the vapor pressure of starting material A) and starting material B) and starting material D) (if present), but may be 50°C to 150°C, alternatively 60°C to 100°C. Step 1) may be carried out under ambient atmosphere and pressure, alternatively under a reduced oxygen atmosphere, for example, 1% to 2% oxygen, with the balance being an inert gas, such as nitrogen.

[0073] The methods described herein may optionally further comprise one or more additional steps. For example, the method may further comprise step 2): purifying the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product prepared in step 1), for example to remove and / or recover unreacted starting material. Purification may be carried out by any convenient means, such as stripping and / or distillation under heating and optionally reduced pressure and / or azeotroping with a solvent, filtration, and combinations thereof. Distillation conditions typically include: (i) elevated temperature; (ii) reduced pressure; or (iii) both elevated temperature and reduced pressure. Increased or decreased means compared to room temperature and atmospheric pressure. As understood in the art, the number of trays utilized in any distillation may be optimized and may affect the rate and / or recovery of the organosilicon compound relative to the distillate produced. Distillation may be continuous or batchwise and may comprise the use of a solvent (e.g., hexane, or toluene, or other solvents described above as starting material D)) such that the distillation may be an azeotropic distillation.

[0074] As used herein, purification of the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product is generally defined as increasing the relative concentration of the organosilicon compound compared to other compounds with which it is combined (e.g., in the reaction product or its purified form). As understood in the art, purification can include removing other compounds from this combination (i.e., reducing the amount of impurities and / or unreacted starting materials in the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product that are combined with the organosilicon compound) and / or removing the organosilicon compound itself from the combination. Any suitable purification technique and / or scheme can be used. Examples of suitable purification techniques include distillation, stripping, evaporation, extraction, filtration, washing, partitioning, phase separation, adsorption, and chromatography. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, any of these techniques can be used in combination (e.g., sequentially) with any other technique to purify the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product. Regardless of the specific technique selected, purification of the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction product can be performed sequentially (i.e., online) with the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction itself and can therefore be automated. Alternatively, purification can be a separate procedure to which the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction products comprising the organosilicon compound are subjected.

[0075] As a result of purifying the isomerization and hydrosilylation reaction products, the organosilicon compound and the unreacted olefin component can be recovered. The method may optionally further comprise step 3): repeating the method and recycling the unreacted olefin component in step 1).

[0076] Product of the method

[0077] The product prepared by the methods described herein comprises an organosilicon compound comprising a group derived from starting material A) bonded to a silicon atom from starting material B). For example, the organosilicon compound can be an organofunctional silane having the formula: R 7 x SiR 1 y X z , where the subscripts x, y, and z and R 1 and X as above, and R 7 Contains organic groups. Not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that R 7 It is formed by isomerizing A-1) an internal olefin compound to form a terminal olefin compound and hydrosilylating it. For example, when a linear olefin is used as A) olefin component in the above process, then R 7 For example, when the starting material A-1) is one or more of the above-mentioned internal octenes, then R 7 The product may be, for example, n-octyldimethylchlorosilane, n-octyltrichlorosilane, n-octyltrimethoxysilane, n-octyltriethoxysilane, n-octylmethyldimethoxysilane, n-octyltrimethylsilane or n-octyltriethylsilane. Alternatively, when a branched internal olefin is used as the starting material A-1), R 7 will be branched. For example, R 7 It may be 2-methyl-2-butyl, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butyl, or other branched alkyl groups derived from the exemplary internal olefins listed above.

[0078] Alternatively, the organosilicon compound prepared by the above method may have any of the formulas described above for B-2) organohydrogensiloxanes, wherein at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom is replaced by R 7 For example, when B-2) comprises 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, the organosilicon compound may comprise the formula: Me2R 7 SiOSiMe2R 7 Alternatively, when B-2) comprises 1,1,1,3,3-pentamethyldisiloxane, the organosilicon compound may comprise the formula: Me3SiOSiMe2R 7Alternatively, when B-2) comprises 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane, the organosilicon compound may comprise a unit of formula MD R7 M, where D R7 Expression (MeR 7 SiO 2 / 2 ) of a difunctional siloxane unit, wherein R 7 As defined above. Additional examples of organosilicon compounds that can be prepared by the methods herein are described below.

[0079] Example

[0080] The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention to those skilled in the art and should not be construed as limiting the invention set forth in the claims. The starting materials used in these examples are summarized in Table 1 below.

[0081] Table 1 - Starting materials

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] In this Reference Example 1, samples were prepared as follows: In a glove box, vials were placed on a heating block. Olefin and SiH compound were added to each vial, catalyst was added, and the vial was capped before heating. The vial was then heated to 60°C while stirring. After 1 hour and 4 hours at 60°C, each sample was subjected to a 40% ionization reaction. 1 H NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the progress of the reaction. The starting materials, amounts used, and results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] With reference to the data in Table 2 above, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5, as well as Working Example 3 and Working Example 5 to Working Example 14, each used the same olefin compound (2-octene) and silyl hydride compound (MD'M). These results indicate that not all iridium complexes (Comp 4 and Comp 5) can be combined with the Custer catalyst to provide reaction rate enhancement or yield improvement (>20% yield after 4 hours) under the test conditions. Examples 5 to 14 indicate that the combined use of the Custer catalyst with an Ir(I) complex comprising a COD or COE Ir(I) fragment provides synergistic results with various counteracting ligands (such as Cl, acac, or OMe).

[0088] In addition, Comparative Example 2 shows that when using Pt catalyst instead of Ir catalyst, the yield is poor under the conditions tested after 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours. Comparative Example 1 shows that when using Ir catalyst instead of Pt catalyst, the yield is poor under the conditions tested after 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours. Comparative Example 3 shows that when using insufficient Ir catalyst in combination with Pt catalyst, the yield is still poor. Working Example 1 to Working Example 6 show that using the same olefin component (2-octene) as in Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3, silyl hydride compound (MD'M) and catalyst (Kars catalyst) and [Ir (COD) Cl] 2, but using the amount of each catalyst as described herein, results in a significantly improved yield than Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3. These examples show that the combination of C-1) platinum hydrosilylation reaction catalyst and C-2) iridium (I) complex of the amount described herein produces a synergistic effect of the yield that unexpectedly improves.

[0089] In Examples 15 to 19, various internal olefin compounds and silyl hydride compounds were also tested using the catalyst system of the present invention. Comparative Examples 6 and 7 used the same silyl hydride compounds and olefin components as Example 15, but these results show that the combination of the platinum hydrosilylation catalyst (Cast's catalyst) and the Ir complex ([Ir(COD)Cl]2) in the amounts described herein produced improved yields and increased reaction rates in Example 15. Compared to Comparative Example 7, which contained 10 ppm of each catalyst, Example 15 had a 52% yield after just one hour, which only achieved a 16% yield after one hour and showed no increase in yield after four hours. Comparative Example 8 used the same silyl hydride compound and olefin components as Example 16, but when 10 ppm of Castor's catalyst and 100 ppm of [Ir(COD)Cl]2 were included, Example 16 showed improved yields. Comparative Example 9 and Example 17 each used MD'M and 23DM2B, and Example 17 had an improved conversion rate when 100 ppm of [Ir(COD)Cl]2 was included. Comparative Example 10 and Example 19 each used MD'M and 23DM2B, and Example 19 had an improved conversion rate when 100 ppm of [Ir(COD)Cl]2 was included. These examples demonstrate that the combination of starting material C-1) and starting material C-2) in the amounts described herein is effective for isomerization and hydrosilylation reactions of different olefin compounds and silyl hydride compounds. Furthermore, the reactions in the working examples proceeded faster than in the comparative examples using the same A) olefin compound and B) silyl hydride compound.

[0090] Industrial Applicability

[0091] The Examples and Comparative Examples presented above demonstrate that the combination of a platinum hydrosilylation catalyst and an iridium (I) complex, used in the amounts described herein, yields the unexpected benefits of increased feedstock efficiency, increased yields, and / or increased reaction rates for the hydrosilylation of various internal olefins and silyl hydride compounds. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the present process has improved recyclability and recyclability by reducing the amount of waste generated compared to processes involving only the hydrosilylation of terminal olefin compounds.
