Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of siloxanes, and in particular to a method for preparing branched tetrasiloxane. Background Art
[0002] Since small-molecule branched siloxanes do not have D linkages (dimethylsiloxy linkages), they will not decompose to produce small-molecule cyclosiloxane compounds during subsequent use. They have very high stability and can be used in cosmetics, high and low temperature resistant thermal conductive fluids, and raw materials for electronic materials, etc. The traditional method for preparing branched siloxanes is to use methyltrimethoxysilane or methyltrichlorosilane to co-hydrolyze hexamethyldisiloxane or trimethylchlorosilane. Since the reaction rates of methyltrimethoxysilane and methyltrichlorosilane are faster, in order to increase the yield and reduce the production of high molecular weight cross-linked byproducts, the amount of hexamethyldisiloxane or trimethylchlorosilane used is much greater than the theoretical amount.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN107207949B discloses branched organic siloxane used as a heat transfer fluid. Although this invention patent successfully prepares branched siloxane with excellent high temperature resistance, the reaction process is complicated and has extremely high requirements. It requires argon gas protection and the use of multiple organic solvents in the process, and the industrialization cost is relatively high.
[0004] European invention patent EP1241171A1 discloses a method for preparing branched tetrasiloxane, in which trimethylsilyl chloride and hexamethyldisiloxane are reacted under the catalysis of chlorophosphazene to obtain a branched tetrasiloxane product, in which the hexamethyldisiloxane used is greatly excessive, and the yield of methyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane is less than 70%, and a large amount of trimethylsilyl chloride is produced in the system.
[0005] In summary, the current preparation method of branched tetrasiloxane has the disadvantages of complex reaction process, the need to use a large amount of trimethylchlorosilane or hexamethyldisiloxane to improve the conversion rate, and the complex structure of the final product. It is urgent to develop a new preparation method of branched tetrasiloxane to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for preparing branched tetrasiloxane, which can accurately synthesize branched tetrasiloxane and can achieve a yield of more than 97% without excessive trimethylchlorosilane or hexamethyldisiloxane, and has low separation energy consumption.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is:
[0008] The preparation method of branched tetrasiloxane comprises the following steps: adding hydrogen-containing trisiloxane, water, acetic acid, N,N-dimethylformamide and organic amine into a reaction kettle, dropping disilazane to react at 70-90°C, and washing the product with deionized water after the reaction to obtain branched tetrasiloxane; wherein the amount of acetic acid added is 0.1-1wt.% of the amount of water added, the mass ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide to disilazane is ≥0.2, and the mass of the organic amine accounts for 0.5-5% of the total mass of hydrogen-containing trisiloxane and disilazane.
[0009] Acetic acid, as a catalyst, can increase the reaction rate of water, disilazane and hydrogen-containing trisiloxane; the role of N,N-dimethylformamide is to enhance the compatibility of water with disilazane and hydrogen-containing trisiloxane, ensure the reaction rate and inhibit the generation of impurities such as hexamethyldisiloxane. The reaction temperature is 70-90℃. If the reaction temperature is too low, the reaction rate will be too slow and the content of impurities in the product will increase; if the reaction temperature is too high, disilazane will decompose, the reaction will be violent, and it will cause danger.
[0010] Preferably, the structural formula of the branched tetrasiloxane is as follows: , where R 1 is methyl or vinyl, R 2 It is a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
[0011] Preferably, the structural formula of the hydrogen-containing trisiloxane is as follows: , where R 1 Methyl or vinyl.
[0012] Preferably, the structural formula of the disilazane is as follows: , R 2 It is a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
[0013] The synthetic route of branched tetrasiloxane is as follows:
[0014] .
[0015] Preferably, the molar ratio of the hydrogen-containing trisiloxane, water and disilazane is (1.8-2): (2-3): 1. Excessive water will cause phase separation of the system and reduce the reaction rate.
[0016] Preferably, the organic amine is diethylhydroxylamine, which has very good compatibility with the system. Meanwhile, diethylhydroxylamine, as a catalyst, can enhance the reaction rate of water, disilazane and hydrogen-containing trisiloxane.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The preparation method of the branched tetrasiloxane of the present invention comprises the following steps: hydrogen-containing trisiloxane, water and disilazane react under the co-catalytic action of acetic acid and an organic amine to prepare the branched tetrasiloxane product, and the process is simple; and compared with the traditional preparation process, the method of the present invention has a fast reaction speed, does not require a large amount of trimethylchlorosilane or hexamethyldisiloxane to ensure the yield of the target product, and the yield of the method of the present invention can reach more than 97%, and the purification energy consumption is low.
