[0001] The present invention relates to a rubber composition. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, rubber compositions containing a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant (for example, N-phenyl-N'-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD)) as an antioxidant have been known (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-046554 [Non-patent literature]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Science,2021,371,6525,185-189 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] On the other hand, there are concerns about environmental pollution due to 6PPD quinone (see below) generated by quinonization of 6PPD (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0006] [ka]

[0007] Furthermore, in recent years, with the increasing demand for higher safety levels, there has been a demand for further improvement in the anti-aging properties of rubber products such as tires.

[0008] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition which is less likely to produce quinone and has excellent anti-aging properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] As a result of extensive investigations into the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by blending a specific compound in a predetermined amount, thereby completing the present invention. That is, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by the following configuration.

[0010] (1) 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber; A rubber composition comprising 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by formula (I) described below and a compound represented by formula (II) described below. (2) The rubber composition according to the above (1), wherein at least one of R1 and R3 in the above formula (I) and the above formula (II) is an electron-donating group. (3) The rubber composition according to (1) or (2) above, wherein in the formula (I) and the formula (II), R2 is an electron-withdrawing group or an aromatic ring. Effect of the Invention

[0011] As will be described below, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rubber composition which is less likely to produce quinone and has excellent anti-aging properties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] The rubber composition of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits. In addition, each component may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more components are used in combination, the content of the components refers to the total content unless otherwise specified. In addition, when quinone is hardly generated, anti-aging properties are excellent, and breaking elongation is large, it is also said that "the effects of the present invention are excellent."

[0013] The rubber composition of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the composition of the present invention") is 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber; The rubber composition contains 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of at least one compound (hereinafter also referred to as "specific compound") selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by formula (I) described later and a compound represented by formula (II) described later.

[0014] It is believed that the composition of the present invention has such a structure and therefore solves the above-mentioned problems. The reason for this is not clear, but is thought to be roughly as follows.

[0015] Diene rubbers are known to be degraded by radicals. When radicals are generated in the composition of the present invention, it is believed that the amine moiety or sulfide moiety of the specific compound contained in the composition deactivates the radicals, thereby suppressing deterioration of the diene rubber. Here, the specific compound is difficult to be quinonized because it lacks the quinonization sites (in the case of 6PPD, the sites a and b below).

[0016] [ka]

[0017] As a result, it is believed that the composition of the present invention is less likely to produce quinones and has excellent anti-aging properties.

[0060] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0061] [Synthesis of specific compounds] Compounds 1 to 3 were synthesized as follows. All of compounds 1 to 3 are specific compounds.

[0062] [Compound 1] First, a phenylenediamine antioxidant (N-phenyl-N'-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD) was oxidized with an oxidizing agent. Then, an allyl mercapto compound 1 (a compound represented by formula (1), where R1 to R3 are hydrogen atoms) was mixed and heated (150°C).

[0063] The resulting compound is a compound represented by formula (I) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b is a benzene ring, and R1 to R3 are hydrogen atoms) and a compound represented by formula (II) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b is a benzene ring, and R1 to R3 are hydrogen atoms). The resulting compound (mixture) is also referred to as "Compound 1."

[0064] [Compound 2] The compound was synthesized according to the same procedure as for compound 1, except that allyl mercapto compound 2 (a compound represented by formula (1), in which R1 is a methoxy group, and R2 and R3 are hydrogen atoms) was used instead of allyl mercapto compound 1.

[0065] The resulting compound is a compound represented by formula (I) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b is a benzene ring, R1 is a methoxy group, R2 and R3 are hydrogen atoms) and a compound represented by formula (II) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b is a benzene ring, R1 is a methoxy group, and R2 and R3 are hydrogen atoms). The resulting compound (mixture) is also referred to as "Compound 2."

[0067] The resulting compound is a compound represented by formula (I) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b is a benzene ring, R1 and R3 are hydrogen atoms, and R2 is a methyl ester group (CH3-O-CO-)) and a compound represented by formula (II) (R a is a 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, R b was a mixture of R1 and R2, where R1 was a benzene ring, R1 and R3 were hydrogen atoms, and R2 was a methyl ester group (CH3-O-CO-). The resulting compound (mixture) is also referred to as "Compound 3."

[0068] [Ozone exposure test] The phenylenediamine-based antioxidant (N-phenyl-N'-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD) and the obtained compounds 1 to 3 were analyzed using a volume of 1000 cm 3 After sealing the sample at the bottom of the glass container, ozone was flowed from the ozone generator under the specified conditions to perform an ozone exposure test on the compound (room temperature (25°C), concentration: 500 pphm (500 x 10 -8 ) and 1 week) and the proportion of quinones converted (quinone conversion rate) was examined. As a result, the quinone ratio of 6PPD was 3.8 mol %. On the other hand, no quinone was detected in compounds 1 to 3 (nd).

[0069] [Production of rubber composition] The components in Table 1 below were mixed in the composition (parts by mass) shown in the same table. Specifically, first, the components other than sulfur and the vulcanization accelerator in Table 1 were mixed in a 1.8 L internal mixer at 130°C for 5 minutes, and a master batch was discharged. Then, sulfur and the vulcanization accelerator were added to the master batch, and the mixture was mixed at 80°C using an open roll to produce each rubber composition.

[0070] [EB after aging] Each of the obtained rubber compositions (unvulcanized) was press-vulcanized in a mold (15 cm x 15 cm x 0.2 cm) at 150°C for 30 minutes to produce a vulcanized rubber sheet. The obtained vulcanized rubber sheet was then subjected to an aging test (left in an 80°C environment for 168 hours (2 weeks)). Next, in accordance with JIS K6251:2010, JIS No. 3 dumbbell-shaped test pieces (thickness 2 mm) were punched out and evaluated for breaking elongation at a temperature of 20°C and a tensile speed of 500 mm / min. The results are shown in Table 1 (EB after aging). The results are expressed as an index with Comparative Example 1 being 100. From the viewpoint of anti-aging properties, an index of 101 or more is preferable.

[0071] [Table 1]

[0072] Details of each component in Table 1 are as follows. Natural rubber: Natural rubber Carbon black: Show Black N234 (manufactured by Showa Cabot Corporation) Zinc oxide: 3 types of zinc oxide (manufactured by Seido Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) Stearic acid: Beads Stearic Acid YR (manufactured by NOF Corporation) Phenylenediamine-based antioxidant: N-phenyl-N′-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) Compounds 1 to 3: Compounds 1 to 3 synthesized as described above Sulfur: Oil-treated sulfur (Karuizawa Refinery Co., Ltd.) Vulcanization accelerator TBBS: Sancerer NS-G (manufactured by Sanshin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.)

[0073] In Table 1, the column "boiling point" indicates the boiling point of the allyl mercapto compound (allyl mercapto compounds 1 to 3) used in the synthesis of each example compound (compounds 1 to 3).

[0074] In addition, in Table 1, the column "Model 3-step rate-determining activation energy" shows the largest activation energy [kcal] obtained by quantum chemical calculation (conditions: B3LYP / 6-31G) when the phenylenediamine antioxidant (6PPD) and the allyl mercapto compounds (allyl mercapto compounds 1-3) used in the synthesis of the compounds (compounds 1-3) used in each example react as described above ((thio)Claisen rearrangement, thiol-ene reaction) to form a five-membered ring. The above activation energy of compound 1 is expressed as an index of 100. It is considered that the smaller this value, the more easily the above reaction proceeds.

[0075] In addition, in Table 1, the column "quinone conversion rate" indicates the quinone conversion rate of the compound (6PPD, compounds 1 to 3) used in each example.

[0076] From the results of the ozone exposure test described above, it can be said that quinone is less likely to be generated in Examples 1 to 3, which used Compounds 1 to 3 (Specific Compounds), compared to Comparative Example 1, which used a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant.

[0077] Furthermore, as can be seen from Table 1, Examples 1 to 3, which used Compounds 1 to 3 (specific compounds), exhibited excellent antiaging properties, compared with Comparative Example 1, which used a phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent.
