Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of specialty polyether synthesis, specifically relating to a Schiff base metal complex and its preparation method, as well as a preparation method and application of an allyl epoxy-terminated polyether. Background Technology

[0002] Allyl epoxy-terminated polyethers contain both allyl and epoxy functional groups, exhibiting excellent reactivity. In the textile industry, they are primarily used to prepare ternary block silicone oils. The preparation process of ternary block silicone oils utilizes the properties of both functional groups: the allyl double bond undergoes a hydrosilylation reaction, while the epoxy group undergoes an amino ring-opening reaction. Ternary block silicone oils are an upgraded replacement for ordinary amino silicone oils, and their market share is continuously increasing, with an average annual growth rate approaching 10%.

[0003] Currently, there are two mainstream processes for preparing allyl epoxy-terminated polyethers: the Williamson process and the ring-opening / ring-closing process. As described in Chinese patent CN106957423A, the Williamson process uses allyl polyether and epichlorohydrin as raw materials to generate allyl epoxy-terminated polyethers in one step in the presence of a solid alkali or a solid alkali solution. The disadvantage of this process is that epichlorohydrin is prone to continuous ring-opening polymerization side reactions, resulting in a high organic chlorine content in the product. The ring-opening / ring-closing process also suffers from the same problem. Chen Dan previously published a process for preparing epoxy-terminated polyethers using tin tetrachloride as a ring-opening catalyst from allyl alcohol polyether and epichlorohydrin. Because the catalyst is acidic, this process can cause corrosion to the reactor. Furthermore, this process has poor selectivity and is prone to continuous ring-opening reactions of epichlorohydrin, leading to a high total chlorine content in the final product. Chinese patent CN113980262A uses activated carbon-supported phosphorus-vanadium-manganese heteropolyacid as a catalyst and also selects a ring-opening and ring-closing process. Although the epoxy end-capping rate reaches 98%, it still cannot avoid the continuous ring-opening products of epichlorohydrin.

[0004] In summary, none of the current mainstream epoxy-terminated polyether processes can completely suppress the continuous ring-opening side reaction of epichlorohydrin, and the resulting products all contain chlorine residues of more than 3000 ppm. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention first provides a Schiff base metal complex and a preparation method thereof, which can be used as a catalyst for preparing allyl epoxy-terminated polyether.
