Benefits of technology

[0028]According to the present invention, there can be provided a process for producing a modified conjugated diene based polymer which attains favorable interaction between a rubber component and carbon black and/or silica, thereby improving dispersibility of the fillers, which exhibits excellent properties such as heat-bu...

Problems solved by technology

However, at present, rolling resistance is generally reduced through employment of a low-heat-buildup rubber composition.
Although, these approaches are generally effective for polymers having a stable polymerization living end, modification of a rubber composition containing silica or carbon black has not been satisfactorily attained.
In addition, when a con...

synthesis example 1

Synthesis of N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane

[0111]Under nitrogen, 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane (product of Gelest) (36 g) for forming an aminosilane moiety was added to dichloromethane (solvent) (400 mL) placed in a glass flask equipped with an agitator. Subsequently, trimethylsilane chloride (product of Aldrich) (48 mL) and triethylamine (53 mL) for forming a protective moiety were added to the solution, followed by stirring the mixture at room temperature for 17 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated by means of an evaporator, to thereby remove solvent from the mixture. The thus-obtained reaction mixture was distilled under reduced pressure (5 mm / Hg), to thereby yield 40 g of N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane as a 130-135° C. fraction.

synthesis example 2

Synthesis of 1-trimethylsilyl-2-ethoxymethyl-1-aza-2-sila-cyclopentane

[0112]The procedure of Synthesis Example 1 was repeated, except that 2-ethoxymethyl-l-aza-2-cyclopentane (28 g) for forming an aminosilane moiety and trimethylsilane chloride (24 mL) for forming a protective moiety were employed, to thereby yield 1-trimethylsilyl-2-ethoxymethyl-1-aza-2-sila-cyclopentane.

synthesis example 3

Synthesis of 3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl(1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane)-1-il)-propylmethyldiethoxysilane

[0113]The procedure of Synthesis Example 1 was repeated, except that 1,2-bis(chloro-dimethylsilyl)-ethane (product of Gelest) (44 mL) for forming a protective moiety was employed, to thereby yield 3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl(1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane)-1-yl)-propylmethyldiethoxysilane.

Abstract

The invention provides a process for producing a modified conjugated diene based polymer which attains favorable interaction between a rubber component and carbon black and/or silica, thereby improving dispersibility of the fillers, and which exhibits excellent properties such as heat-buildup-suppressing performance, fracture characteristics, and wear resistance; a modified conjugated diene based polymer produced through the process; a rubber composition containing the diene polymer; and a tire produced from the rubber composition and exhibiting the above properties. The process for producing a modified conjugated diene based polymer includes a step (a) of reacting a silicon compound with a conjugated diene based polymer having an active end so that the reaction takes place at the active end, the silicon compound having a protected primary amino group in the molecule thereof and a bi-functional silicon atom to which a hydrocarbyloxy group and a reactive group including a hydrocarbyloxy group are bonded, to thereby modify the active end, and a step (b) of performing condensation reaction which involves the compound having a bi-functional silicon atom, in the presence of a titanium compound serving as a titanium-based condensation-accelerating agent.
