Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the synthesis method of polycumene, and in particular, to a polycumene and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Diisopropylbenzene oligomer, also known as polycumene, is an oligomer formed by sequentially connecting 4 to 7 diisopropylbenzene molecules. The carbon-carbon bond between quaternary carbon atoms in the polycumene molecule is not highly stable and is prone to dissociation to form free radicals. Based on this property, polycumene is widely used in cross-linking copolymerization catalysts and flame retardant synergists.
[0003] Compared with general free radical small molecule initiators, the structure of polycumene is more stable, the way of generating free radicals is more controllable, and it is safer to use. As a flame retardant synergist, it is widely used in bromine-based flame retardant systems and can be used to replace antimony trioxide to increase the flame retardant effect. The addition amount of polycumene is generally 2% - 3% of the flame retardant masterbatch. While reducing the amount of flame retardant used during use, it can also increase the mechanical properties of plastics.
[0004] Currently, the synthesis method of polycumene mainly uses peroxides to initiate diisopropylbenzene to form free radicals, and then the free radicals bond with each other to form polycumene molecules. In general synthesis, in order to increase the molecular weight of polycumene molecules, a small amount of highly active peroxides with a lower decomposition temperature (the most common is tert-butyl peroxybenzoate) is added to increase the reaction selectivity. Although the addition of highly active initiators can shorten the reaction time and reduce the reaction temperature, it will also make the obtained polycumene product yellowish and dull in color, affecting the appearance of the finished product; at the same time, the residual by-products such as benzoic acid generated during the reaction will also make the finished product have a strong odor and show softening and stickiness; the stability of the peroxybenzoyl group is also very poor, greatly increasing the safety hazards in the production process.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polycumene and a preparation method thereof to solve or improve the above technical problems.
[0007] The present invention can be implemented as follows:
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of polycumene, which includes the following steps: adding di-tert-butyl peroxide to diisopropylbenzene at a temperature of 130°C - 135°C and reacting until the weight average molecular weight of the reaction solution obtained from the reaction is not less than 1850 to stop the reaction; precipitating the reaction solution after the reaction stops to obtain solid polycumene.
[0009] In an alternative embodiment, the diisopropylbenzene is heated to 130°C - 135°C by an oil bath method.
[0010] In an alternative embodiment, adding di - tert - butyl peroxide to diisopropylbenzene at a temperature of 130 °C to 135 °C includes: first, dropping di - tert - butyl peroxide into diisopropylbenzene at a rate of 1 drop / s to 2 drops / s. When distillate starts to distill out, control the distillation rate of the distillate to be 10 drops / s to 20 drops / s by adjusting the dropping rate of di - tert - butyl peroxide and the oil bath temperature of diisopropylbenzene.
[0011] In an alternative embodiment, the actual reaction temperature during the reaction process does not exceed 125 °C.
[0012] In an alternative embodiment, after adding all of the di - tert - butyl peroxide, control the reaction temperature to be 118 °C to 123 °C.
[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the molar ratio of diisopropylbenzene to di - tert - butyl peroxide is from 1:1 to 1:2.
[0014] In an alternative embodiment, the precipitant used for precipitation includes at least one of ethanol and methanol.
[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a polybiphenyl - terphenyl which is prepared by the preparation method according to any one of the foregoing embodiments;

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0021] The present invention provides a new preparation method for polybiphenyl - terphenyl. This method is simple to operate, does not use highly active tert - butyl peroxybenzoate as an initiation promoter, has a low reaction temperature, a relatively high yield, no waste water or waste materials, and can be used for industrial production.

Detailed Embodiments
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Those not specified in the embodiments are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Those reagents or instruments not specified by the manufacturer can be obtained as conventional products through commercial purchase.
[0023] The following is a detailed description of the polyol provided by the present invention and its preparation method.
[0024] The present invention provides a method for preparing polydioxane, which comprises the following steps: adding di-tert-butyl peroxide to diisopropylbenzene at a temperature of 130° C. to 135° C., reacting until the weight-average molecular weight of the reaction liquid obtained by the reaction is not less than 1850, and then stopping the reaction; and precipitating the reaction liquid after the reaction is stopped to obtain solid polydioxane.
[0025] The reaction principle is as follows: di-tert-butyl peroxide acts as a free radical initiator, which decomposes into tert-butyl radicals when heated; the tert-butyl radicals will attack diisopropylbenzene, seize the hydrogen of diisopropylbenzene, and turn diisopropylbenzene into diisopropylbenzene radicals. The diisopropylbenzene radicals bond with each other to form oligomer molecules with a degree of polymerization of 7 to 10, namely polyisopropylbenzene.
[0026] In the present invention, the molar ratio of diisopropylbenzene to di-tert-butyl peroxide can be 1:1 to 1:2, such as 1:1, 1:1.5 or 1:2, or other values within the range of 1:1 to 1:2.
[0027] In some embodiments, before adding di-tert-butyl peroxide, diisopropylbenzene may be heated to 130° C. to 135° C. to remove water.
[0028] The water removal time can be 2 hours, for example but not limited thereto.
[0029] By removing water from diisopropylbenzene, the effect of water on the decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide free radicals can be avoided.
[0030] In some embodiments, diisopropylbenzene may be heated to 130° C. to 135° C. in an oil bath. Specifically, the diisopropylbenzene oil bath temperature may be 130° C., 131° C., 132° C., 133° C., 134° C., or 135° C., or other values within the range of 130° C. to 135° C.
[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the reaction of adding di-tert-butyl peroxide to diisopropylbenzene at a temperature of 130° C. to 135° C. includes: first adding di-tert-butyl peroxide to diisopropylbenzene at a rate of 1 s / drop to 2 s / drop (such as 1 s / drop, 1.5 s / drop or 2 s / drop, etc.); when distillate begins to distillate, adjusting the dropping rate of di-tert-butyl peroxide and the oil bath temperature of diisopropylbenzene to control the distillation rate of the distillate to 10 s / drop to 20 s / drop (such as 10 s / drop, 12 s / drop, 14 s / drop, 16 s / drop, 18 s / drop or 20 s / drop, etc.).
[0032] The above diisopropylbenzene is in a stirring state.
[0033] By controlling the order of adding di-tert-butyl peroxide in stages, it is possible to ensure a moderate reaction rate while also avoiding raw material waste. If the addition of di-tert-butyl peroxide is accelerated too quickly, the reaction system temperature will drop rapidly, reducing the reaction rate. Furthermore, a large amount of di-tert-butyl peroxide will accumulate in the reaction vessel, posing a risk of implosion and a significant safety hazard. If the addition of di-tert-butyl peroxide is accelerated too slowly, the temperature in the reaction vessel will be too high, causing a large amount of di-tert-butyl peroxide to evaporate without participating in the reaction, resulting in raw material waste.
[0034] In the present invention, the actual reaction temperature of the reaction of diisopropylbenzene and di-tert-butyl peroxide does not exceed 125° C. In some preferred embodiments, after the addition of di-tert-butyl peroxide is completed, the reaction temperature is controlled to be 118° C. to 123° C., such as 118° C., 119° C., 120° C., 121° C., 122° C., or 123° C., or any other value within the range of 118° C. to 123° C.
[0035] The reaction time can be, for example, 15 to 22 hours, such as 15 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours, 18 hours, 19 hours, 20 hours, 21 hours or 22 hours, etc., depending on the actual situation.
[0036] The reaction can be stopped when the weight-average molecular weight of the resulting reaction solution is no less than 1850. Under these conditions, the reaction solution is as viscous as honey, and the mass fraction of di-tert-butyl peroxide in the distillate is less than 1 / 3. If the reaction solution has a low viscosity and the weight-average molecular weight of the reaction solution is less than 1850, or the di-tert-butyl peroxide content in the distillate exceeds one-third, additional di-tert-butyl peroxide can be added to continue the reaction until the weight-average molecular weight of the reaction solution reaches no less than 1850.
[0037] After the reaction stops, the reaction solution can be poured into a precipitant while hot to precipitate to obtain white solid particles, which are then filtered and dried at room temperature to obtain the polycondensate product.
[0038] Alternatively, the precipitant may illustratively but not limitatively include at least one of ethanol and methanol.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the yield of the preparation method of polydimethylsilane provided by the present invention is not less than 90%.
[0040] As mentioned above, the preparation method of poly-bis(cyclopentyl)ol provided by the present invention is simple to operate. It does not use highly active tert-butyl perbenzoate as an initiator and accelerator. Instead, it achieves a stable increase in the molecular weight of the poly-bis(cyclopentyl)ol by precisely controlling the material dropwise addition rate and temperature during the reaction. The process has a low reaction temperature, a high yield, and no wastewater or waste, and can be used for industrial production.
[0041] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a polyol, which is prepared by the above preparation method.
[0042] The resulting poly(terphenyl) product has a relatively high molecular weight, is white in color, does not turn yellow or darken, and has no variegated colors; moreover, the poly(terphenyl) has no peculiar smell, is in solid state, in good condition, and does not show the phenomenon of softening and sticking.
[0043] In some embodiments, the number-average molecular weight of the poly(terphenyl) provided by the present invention is not less than 850, and can be, for example, 810, 890, 940, 1100, 1610, etc.
[0044] In some embodiments, the weight-average molecular weight of the poly(terphenyl) provided by the present invention is not less than 1850, and can be, for example, 1850, 2070, 2100, 3200, 4540, etc.
[0045] In some embodiments, the melting range of the poly(terphenyl) provided by the present invention can be 53°C to 205°C, and can be, for example, 53.7°C to 196.0°C, 57.8°C to 199.6°C, 60.1°C to 201.1°C, 61.1°C to 188.2°C, 70.4°C to 204.0°C, etc.
[0046] In addition, the present invention also provides an application of the above poly(terphenyl), for example, the poly(terphenyl) can be used to prepare a crosslinked copolymerization catalyst or a flame retardant synergist.
