Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to onium salt compounds and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, energy conservation has been required in various fields in response to social issues such as the SDGs. To meet this demand, light is considered an environmentally friendly energy source and is widely used. For example, in industry, photosensitive materials that utilize light have been industrialized, such as adhesives, sealing materials, and photoresists (e.g., Patent Documents 1 to 3). Known examples of the photosensitive material include reactive compositions obtained by mixing an acid generator with a reactive compound such as an epoxy compound, and cured products thereof.

[0003] There have been two types of acid generators to date: thermal acid generators and photoacid generators. For example, Patent Document 4 reports a sulfonium salt (onium salt compound) that generates acid when heated as a thermal acid generator. The reactive composition described in Patent Document 4, which is a mixture of the acid generator and a reactive compound, has the characteristic of being able to react at low temperatures.

[0004] Dual-type acid generators that generate acid not only by heat but also by light have also been reported (for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6). Patent Documents 5 and 6 disclose, as acid generators, onium salt compounds whose counter cation is benzothiazolium and whose counter anion is antimony.

[0005] However, the acid generators described in Patent Documents 5 and 6 above use highly toxic antimony, and further have the problem that they are soluble only in specific solvents. Furthermore, reactive compositions in which an acid generator is mixed with a reactive compound such as an epoxy may undergo a reaction during long-term storage, resulting in an increase in viscosity, and therefore, higher storage stability is required for such reactive compositions. Therefore, there is a strong demand for novel compounds having acid generating ability that are excellent in solubility in various solvents (hereinafter referred to as "solvent compatibility") and storage stability.

[0408] Evaluation test of onium salt compounds <Solvent compatibility> At 25°C, 1 g of each of the onium salt compounds of Examples 1 to 33 or Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was placed in a 30 mL screw tube. Next, 1 g of solvent was added to each container and mixed in a planetary centrifugal mixer "ARE-310" manufactured by Thinky Corporation, and the mass Ws (g) of the solvent required to completely dissolve the onium salt compound was measured.

[0409] The solubility (S), which is the mass of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solvent, was calculated according to the following formula. Formula: S[%]=1 / (Ws / 100) In Table 1, the solubility when dissolved in 1 g of solvent is indicated as ">100", and the solubility when not completely dissolved even when 200 g of solvent is added is indicated as "0.5>".

[0410] The evaluation of solvent compatibility was carried out by counting the types of solvents in which the solubility was 1% or more among the solvents measured this time, and assigning points as follows: 5: The number of solvents with a solubility of 1% or more is 6 or more. 4: There are five solvents with a solubility of 1% or more. 3: There are four types of solvents with a solubility of 1% or more. 2: There are three types of solvents with a solubility of 1% or more. 1: There are two types of solvents with a solubility of 1% or more. 0: One solvent with a solubility of 1% or more

[0411] The following six solvents were selected: Propylene carbonate Methyl isobutyl ketone PGMAc (Propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate) ·toluene Celloxide (registered trademark) 2021P jER(registered trademark) 828

[0412] The type of solvent was determined based on the Hansen solubility parameter. Compounds with similar SP values are more compatible with each other, and generally, the larger the SP value, the higher the polarity. Solvents were selected so that a wide range of solubility could be investigated, from solvents with low to high SP values. For reference, the SP value of PC is 13.3 (MPa 1 / 2 ), and the SP value of MIBK is 8.3 (MPa 1 / 2 ), and the SP value of toluene is 8.9 (MPa 1 / 2 )

[0413] The Celloxide 2021P is 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl(3,4-epoxy)cyclohexanecarboxylate.

[0414] The jER828 is a so-called bisphenol A type epoxy resin produced by a condensation reaction between bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin.

Every few days, the screw tubes were turned sideways for one minute, and the number of days until gelation occurred, at which point the liquid no longer flowed, was measured.

[0416] (5-point scale) 5: The solution has not flowed for more than 40 days. 4: The solution stopped flowing after 30 to 39 days 3: The solution stopped flowing after 20 to 29 days. 2: The solution stopped flowing after 10 to 19 days. 1: The solution has stopped flowing within 9 days

Next, 20.0 mg of propylene carbonate as a solvent was added to each container and completely dissolved to prepare Solution 1. Furthermore, 20.1 mg of each of the prepared solutions 1 was placed in a 30 mL light-shielding screw tube. Furthermore, 10 g of Celloxide 2021P (trade name, manufactured by Daicel Corporation) was added to the container as a reactive compound, and immediately mixed in a planetary centrifugal mixer "ARE-310" to prepare a reactive composition.

[0419] <Photoreactivity (1)> The prepared reactive composition was subjected to UV-DSC measurement to measure the total calorific value under continuous light irradiation.

[0423] <Reactive Composition Production Example 2> To each 10 mL light-shielding screw tube, 20.0 mg of each of the onium salt compounds of Examples 1 to 33 or Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was added. Next, 20.0 mg of propylene carbonate was added as a solvent to each container. The compounds were completely dissolved to prepare each Solution 2. Furthermore, 20.0 mg of each of the prepared solutions 2 was placed in each 30 mL light-shielding screw tube. Furthermore, 10 g of trimethylolpropane acrylate (TMPTA, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added to the container as a reactive compound, and immediately mixed in a planetary centrifugal mixer "ARE-310" to prepare a reactive composition.

[0424] <Photoreactivity (2)> The prepared reactive composition was subjected to UV-DSC measurement to measure the total calorific value under continuous light irradiation. Note that a larger total calorific value indicates higher photoreactivity. (conditions) Measurement equipment: Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC600, Hitachi High-Tech Corporation) Atmosphere: Nitrogen gas, 50mL / min.
