Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound and a curable resin composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel imide compound having an epoxy group, and also to a curable resin composition containing an epoxy resin, a curing agent, and the compound. [Background technology]

[0002] Epoxy resins are widely used industrially as components of paints, adhesives, various molding materials, and the like. When epoxy resins are used for the above purposes, they are usually used in combination with a curing agent, and various curing agents are known as such curing agents, such as acid anhydride-based curing agents, amine-based curing agents, and phenol-based curing agents.

[0003] The curing agents are used according to the application. For example, imidazole-based curing agents are anionic polymerization curing agents, unlike addition polymerization curing agents, and therefore can be cured with a small amount added. They are also useful in that they have low volatility and toxicity, making them suitable for use in electrical and electronic components.

[0004] However, when an epoxy resin curing agent is used alone, it is difficult to balance curability and storage stability. To improve storage stability, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes using a reaction product of an imidazole compound and an epoxy resin in an epoxy curing system, and Patent Document 2 proposes a curing agent composition for epoxy resins comprising a modified imidazole, a modified amine, and a phenol compound.

[0005] However, when these various modifications are carried out, the viscosity of the modified product increases, which impairs handling and workability, and so on, and thus no satisfactory product has been obtained. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] The present invention also provides a curable resin composition comprising an epoxy resin as component (A), a curing agent as component (B), and the compound as component (C).

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a curable resin composition having excellent curability and excellent storage stability.

[0028] The amount of the organic solvent used is not particularly limited, but is 1 to 10,000 parts by mass, preferably 10 to 500 parts by mass, per 1 part by mass of the total of the acid anhydride having ring A and the aminophenol compound. The imidization reaction is preferably carried out in the form of a solution in which the raw materials are dissolved in an organic solvent, but may also be carried out in the form of a slurry.

[0033] The reaction pressure in the reaction for obtaining an amide acid compound and the imidization reaction is not particularly limited, but is usually atmospheric pressure. The reaction atmosphere is not particularly limited, but is usually air, nitrogen, helium, neon, or argon atmosphere, and inert gases such as nitrogen and argon are preferred.

[0034] The method for isolating the phenol compound represented by formula (1a) from the reaction mixture of the acid anhydride having ring A and the aminophenol compound is not particularly limited, but when the target compound precipitates from the reaction solvent, it can be isolated by filtration or centrifugation. On the other hand, when the target compound is dissolved in the reaction solvent, it can be precipitated by distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure, adding an appropriate poor solvent to the reaction mixture, or discharging the reaction mixture into a poor solvent, and then isolating it by filtration or centrifugation.

[0041] The glycidyl etherification reaction can be carried out using an organic solvent such as a hydrocarbon, an ether, or a ketone, but can also be carried out using excess epichlorohydrin as a solvent.

[0042] After the glycidyl etherification reaction is completed, unreacted epichlorohydrin is removed by a method such as distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue is dissolved in an organic solvent such as a ketone, and the solution is washed with purified water for desalting, thereby obtaining the target compound represented by the formula (1).

The curing agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0057] In the present invention, imidazole-based curing agents are preferred, and unmodified compounds such as 2-methylimidazole and 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole are particularly preferred because they can be cured with a relatively small amount and also function as a curing accelerator when combined with other curing agents.

[0058] The amount of curing agent to be added is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 70 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 50 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 3 to 30 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the epoxy resin (component (A)).

[0059] In the present invention, the curing agent can be used in combination with a known epoxy resin curing accelerator, if necessary. Examples of curing accelerators include phosphines such as triphenylphosphine; phosphonium salts such as tetraphenylphosphonium bromide; amines such as benzyldimethylamine and 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol; quaternary ammonium salts such as trimethylammonium chloride; ureas such as 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, 3-phenyl-1,1-dimethylurea, isophorone diisocyanate-dimethylurea, and tolylene diisocyanate-dimethylurea; complexes of boron trifluoride and amines, and complexes of boron trifluoride and ether compounds. These curing accelerators may be used alone or in combination. The content of the epoxy resin curing accelerator is not particularly limited and can be appropriately determined depending on the application of the curable resin composition.

[0060] The curable resin composition of the present invention contains a compound represented by the above formula (1) as component (C). In particular, it is preferable to contain at least one of the compounds represented by the formulas (1-1) to (1-4) as the component (C), since this will result in a curable resin composition with excellent curability and storage stability.

[0061] The content of component (C) is preferably 1 to 2000 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 1000 parts by mass, and even more preferably 30 to 500 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (B). If the content of component (C) is less than 1 part by mass, the effect of imparting stability to the curable resin composition may not be obtained, whereas if it exceeds 2000 parts by mass, there is a risk of adversely affecting the curability.

[Example]

[0074] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples in any way.

[0075] Example 1 A flask equipped with a rotor, thermometer, and Dean-Stark apparatus was charged with 65.7 g (0.4 mol) of norbornene dicarboxylic anhydride, 43.7 g (0.4 mol) of p-aminophenol, and 350 g of xylene, and stirred at 100°C for 2 hours. 3.4 g (0.02 mol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 50 g of N-methylpyrrolidone were added, the temperature was raised, and reflux dehydration was carried out for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 500 mL of water was added and the mixture was stirred. The solid was filtered off and recrystallized from methanol / toluene. The crystals were further filtered off to obtain purple crystals (melting point 251°C).

[0076] A flask equipped with a rotor, thermometer, and Dean-Stark apparatus was charged with 25.5 g (0.1 mol) of the resulting purple crystals and 46.3 g (0.5 mol) of epichlorohydrin. The solution was heated to reflux, and 8.3 g (0.1 mol) of 48% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise from the dropping funnel over 1 hour. The mixture was stirred for an additional 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. The reaction solution was washed with 50 g of distilled water, and the epichlorohydrin was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. 100 g of toluene was added to dissolve the residue, which was then washed with 50 g of distilled water. The toluene was removed by distillation to obtain a pale brown viscous liquid.

[0077] The resulting viscous liquid turned into light brown crystals with a melting point of 100°C after being left for a day. 1 H-NMR measurement was carried out. The results are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The epoxy equivalent of the obtained light brown crystals was 413 g / eq. (theoretical value: 311 g / eq.). From these results, it was confirmed that the obtained light brown crystals were the compound represented by the above formula (1-1).

[0078] Examples 2 to 7 As shown in Table 1, curable resin compositions were produced using ADEKA RESIN EP-4100E (manufactured by ADEKA; bisphenol A-type epoxy resin) as the epoxy resin (A), 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (2E4MZ) or ADEKA HARDNER EH-2021 (manufactured by ADEKA; adduct-type imidazole) as the curing agent (B), and the compound obtained in Example 1 as the component (C), and the storage stability and curability were evaluated.

[0079] Comparative Example 1 A curable resin composition was produced in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the compound obtained in Example 1 was not used, and the storage stability and curability were evaluated.

[0080] (Storage stability) The storage stability was evaluated by placing the curable resin composition in a beaker, leaving it at room temperature, and counting the number of days until gelation. If gelation did not occur within 3 days, it was determined that there was no practical problem and that the storage stability was excellent.

[0081] (curable) Curability was evaluated by applying the curable resin composition to a glass plate with a bar coater and checking the state of curing after heating at 150°C for 2 hours. A non-tacky composition was rated as ◯, a tacky composition was △, and a liquid composition was rated ×. ◯ and △ were judged to have excellent curability.

[0082] [Table 1]

[0083] A novel compound represented by the formula (1-1) was obtained in Example 1. As shown in Table 1, it is clear that a curable resin composition containing this compound in combination with an epoxy resin and a curing agent has superior curability and storage stability compared to a curable resin composition not containing this compound. [Industrial Applicability]

[0084] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a one-component curable resin composition that is particularly excellent in curability and storage stability, and the composition can be suitably used, for example, as an adhesive for electronic components, a sealant for electronic components, a casting material, a paint, a structural adhesive, and the like.
