Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of living radical polymerization, and particularly relates to the aryl capping and oxidation of secondary amine compounds and the application of the obtained products as regulators in controlled / living radical polymerization. Background Art

[0002] In the actual production process of general free radical polymerization, the obtained polymer products have a wide molecular weight distribution, and the mechanical strength, heat resistance and other properties of polymer products with different molecular weights have obvious differences in the application scenarios. Relevant researchers (Surf.Sci.2004,570(1-2):1-12; J.Polym.Res.2014,21:1-9; J.Am.Chem.Soc.2006,128(23):7622-7629.) systematically summarized the defects in the traditional free radical polymerization process due to the kinetic characteristics of "slow initiation, fast propagation, and rapid termination", resulting in irreversible termination of free radical chains, broad molecular weight distribution (PDI>2), and difficulty in accurately controlling the degree of polymerization.

[0003] Regarding nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMP), there have been some reports on the structure of nitroxide stable radicals (Macromolecules 31.9(1998):2883-2888; J.Am.Chem.Soc.122.25(2000):5929-5939; US20130059964A1; US20170015762A1; US20230192962A1; CN115380054A). They are all based on the reaction products of secondary amine structures and peroxides, and can be accurately controlled during polymerization. However, the secondary amine precursors of such structures often require complex synthesis steps and are not common chemical raw materials. Some secondary amine oxides such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide have been developed on a large scale and are commercially available, but the yields in the synthesis process are generally low, the synthesis cost is high, and generally a high temperature above 120°C is required to maintain its reaction activity during its application, resulting in high energy consumption, and the side reactions brought about by high temperature cannot be controlled.

[0004] Some researchers have used the reaction products of secondary amine structures and peroxides for precise control during polymerization. However, the synthesis steps of the secondary amine precursors of such structures are complex, the raw material sources are not common substances on the market, and the yields in the synthesis process are generally low, the synthesis cost is high. Generally, a high temperature above 120°C is required to maintain its reaction activity during its application, resulting in high energy consumption, and the side reactions brought about by high temperature cannot be controlled.

[0005] The regulation of the existing amine oxides on the polymerized free radical chain segments is that the oxygen atoms in a certain oxide carry partial positive charges, and through single electron transfer, they act on the free radical long chains obtained by polymerization, and then combine with them. The regulation of the molecular weight distribution is achieved through the dynamic equilibrium of binding-dissociation, as shown below:

[0006]

[0007] The dynamic equilibrium of the binding of polyether amine oxides to free radical chain segments. However, such structures are single in variety, and most of them use long-chain amine polyethoxy ethers as oxidation precursors, and can only be applied to emulsion polymerization systems, with relatively single reaction scenarios.

[0167]

[0168] Application test

[0169] To systematically explore the effects of different tertiary amine oxide regulators in various monomer copolymerization systems, we applied all the even-numbered tertiary amine oxide regulators in the examples and the two molecular weight regulators in the comparative examples to the polymerization reactions of different monomers, compared their performances in specific polymerization reactions, and systematically discussed the effects of the addition of different tertiary amine oxides on the final monomer conversion rate, weight-average molecular weight M w 、number-average molecular weight M n 、PDI and other indicators.

[0170] In the following table, unless otherwise specified, the reaction conditions and feedstocks are as follows: 1 mol of tertiary amine oxide, 246 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile, 0.4 mol of a specific monomer, and 40 mL of dioxane were successively added to a 100 mL Schlenk tube. After sealing, the tube was degassed by freezing and thawing with liquid nitrogen three times. After returning to room temperature, it was placed at a specific temperature for a specific time, and the reaction was terminated by freezing with liquid nitrogen. The solvent and unreacted monomer were removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure, and then dried in a vacuum oven to a constant weight. The conversion rate, weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and PDI were measured and calculated.

[0171] Table 1

[0172]

[0173]

[0174] It can be seen from the results in Table 1 that after adding the oxide of 4-oxopiperidine / morpholine high steric hindrance tertiary amine derivative to the methyl methacrylate reaction system, the molecular weight distribution with a maximum of 1.40 and a minimum of 1.21 can be obtained. Among them, tertiary amine oxide b30 corresponds to the lowest PDI of 1.21, which proves that the strategy of preparing a molecular weight regulator based on the oxidation of high steric hindrance piperidine tertiary amine derivatives is feasible, and regulators of this structure can indeed effectively control the free radical polymerization process. Subsequently, the performance of tertiary amine oxide b30 in the polymerization of three monomers, styrene, vinyl acetate, and acrylonitrile, was discussed. The PDI obtained under the same reaction conditions was slightly higher, indicating that tertiary amine oxides represented by b30 are more suitable in the acrylate polymerization system, which may be related to the compatibility between the tertiary amine oxide and the monomer structure. The PDI adjustment range of the oxide of the 4-oxopiperidine / morpholine high steric hindrance tertiary amine derivative of the present invention in the polymerization of acrylate monomers is 1.21 - 1.40.

[0175] To explore the performance of the structures obtained by oxidizing common tertiary amines in the same polymerization system, c1 and c2 were added, and the obtained PDI values were all above 2.0, which were relatively close to the PDI of the blank group without adding tertiary amine oxide. Therefore, it is impossible to effectively regulate the polymerization process by oxidizing the existing tertiary amine structure. The effects of reaction temperature and reaction time were discussed, and it was found that the reaction rate of vinyl acetate was relatively slow at 60 °C in this system. When the reaction time was extended to 12 h, both the PDI and M w increased.

Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
