A method for preparing p-phenylene-bisphenyltriester dianhydride Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic compound preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing p-phenylene-bisphenyltriester dianhydride. Background Technology
[0002] Polyimide, as a high-temperature resistant polymer material, has been widely used in flexible displays, aerospace thermal insulation, chip packaging, fuel cells, high-temperature filtration, and the nuclear industry. Whether used as a high-temperature structural material or a functional membrane material, its application prospects have been highly recognized by the industry. However, polyimide itself has inherent problems such as difficult molding and processing, a high coefficient of thermal expansion, strong hygroscopicity, and a relatively high dielectric constant, which to some extent limit its application expansion in certain scenarios.
[0003] Polyesterimide is a modified polyimide resin whose molecular backbone contains both ester groups and imine rings. The introduction of ester bonds improves the molding and processability of polyimide materials, enhances their strength and modulus, and reduces their coefficient of thermal expansion, hygroscopicity, and dielectric constant, thus enabling them to be used more widely in the electronics field.
[0004] p-Phenylidene-bisphenyltrilate dianhydride is an important monomer for the synthesis of polyester imides. The commonly used synthetic routes for p-Phenylidene-bisphenyltrilate dianhydride are as follows: .
[0005] In this synthesis process, in addition to the main product, p-phenylene bisphenyltriester dianhydride, a third product was also generated. , Multiple byproducts are also produced. This is because the raw materials for the synthesis of p-phenylene-bisphenyltrilate dianhydride contain acid anhydrides and acyl chlorides with similar activities, making the synthesis difficult to control, resulting in purification difficulties and low product purity. Furthermore, current methods for preparing p-phenylene-bisphenyltrilate dianhydride also suffer from low product whiteness, complex processes, and high costs. For example, existing technologies disclose a method for synthesizing p-phenylene-bisphenyltrilate dianhydride using hydroquinone and chlorinated trimellitic anhydride as reactants, with the catalyst prepared from formaldehyde, dialkylamine, and ion exchange resin. In this method, the ion exchange resin is expensive, leading to high process costs and making large-scale application difficult. Additionally, the catalyst recovery process is complex.
