Benefits of technology

The method enables the preparation of a transition metal complex that facilitates the production of high molecular weight polyolefins with low density and high reactivity, particularly suitable for copolymerizing ethylene with monomers having large steric hindrance, such as 1-octene, at high temperatures.

Problems solved by technology

However, these compounds could not show enhanced activity, copolymerization performance, or the like when ethylene is polymerized or when ethylene and α-olefin are copolymerized, as compared to CGC.
However, only some of these catalysts as described above are used in commercial plants.

example 1

Preparation of 8-(2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclopentadienyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (Compound 3a)

[0130]1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (13.08 g, 98.24 mmol) and diethylether (150 mL) were put into a Schlenk flask. The Schlenk flask was immersed in a dry ice / acetone cooling bath at −78° C., and shaken for 30 minutes. Then, n-BuLi (n-butyl lithium, 39.3 mL, 2.5 M, 98.24 mmol) was introduced thereto using a syringe under nitrogen atmosphere to form a pale yellow slurry. Thereafter, the flask was shaken for 2 hours, and then the flask was warmed to ambient temperature while removing the resulting butane gas. The flask was again immersing into the cooling bath at −78° C., and then a CO2 gas was introduced thereto. As introducing carbon dioxide gas, the slurry gradually disappeared to form a clear solution. The flask was connected into a bubbler to remove the carbon dioxide gas, while raising the temperature to ambient temperature. Thereafter, excess CO2 gas and the solvent were removed u...

Preparation of [(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-8-yl)tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-eta5,kapa-N]titanium dimethyl (Compound 5a)

[0134]In a dry box, the compound 3a (8.07 g, 32.0 mmol) as prepared in Example 1 and diethylether (140 mL) were put into a round flask, and cooled to −30° C. n-BuLi (17.7 g, 2.5 M, 64.0 mmol) was slowly added thereto under stirring. While raising the temperature to ambient temperature, reaction was performed for 6 hours. Thereafter, the mixture was washed with diethylether several times, and filtered to obtain a solid. The remaining solvent was removed under vacuum to obtain a dilithium compound (Compound 4a) (9.83 g) as a yellow solid. The yield was 95%.

Preparation of 5-indenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (Compound 3b)

[0138]The procedure was carried out in the same manner as the preparation method of [Example 1] except that indenone was used instead of tetramethylcyclopentanone, and the resultant was purified by column chromatography using a hexane:ethyl acetate (v / v, 20:1) solvent to obtain a yellow oil. The yield was 49%.

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel transition metal complex where a monocyclopentadienyl ligand to which an amido group is introduced is coordinated, a method for synthesizing the complex, and olefin polymerization using the same. The method for preparing a transition metal complex according to the present invention comprises a step of blocking a by-reaction of a nitrogen atom using a compound containing a protecting group, and thus it is possible to prepare a transition metal complex in a simpler manner in a high yield. Further, the transition metal complex according to the present invention has a pentagon ring structure having an amido group connected by a phenylene bridge in which a stable bond is formed in the vicinity of a metal site, and thus, sterically monomers can easily approach the transition metal complex.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for preparing a transition metal complex, transition metal complex prepared using the method, and a catalyst composition containing the transition metal complex.[0002]This application claims priority benefits from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-003071, filed on Jan. 10, 2007, the entire contents of which are fully incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In the early 1990s, Dow Chemical Co. disclosed [Me2Si(Me4C5)NtBu]TiCl (Constrained-Geometry Catalyst, hereinafter simply referred to as CGC) (U.S. Pat. No. 5,064,802). CGC shows excellent properties in a copolymerization reaction of ethylene and α-olefin, as compared to conventional metallocene catalysts. Its main two excellent properties can be summarized as follows: (1) CGC can be used to form high molecular weight polymers due to its high activity at high polymerization temperature, and (2) CGC can be used for copolymerization of α-olefin having lar...
