Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to scavengers, compositions, and uses thereof for capturing organic compounds containing active hydrogen. [Background technology]
[0002] Volatile organic compound (VOC) scavenging agents and technologies are used in various aspects of daily life. For example, technologies for scavenging amine compounds and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, which are known to be the cause of sick building syndrome, include technologies that utilize the inclusion action of cyclodextrin compounds and technologies that utilize the neutralization action of amino acids. In both of these scavenging technologies, the agent is sprayed into the air to capture VOCs floating in the air, thereby purifying the indoor space. In addition, porous inorganic materials are known to adsorb various VOCs, and for example, scavenging agents such as activated carbon deodorizing filters have been developed.
[0003] Meanwhile, against the backdrop of growing safety awareness regarding chemical substances, alcohol-based VOCs have recently attracted attention. For example, in Japan, the addition of two alcohol-based chemical substances (2-ethyl-1-hexanol and texanol) as new causes of sick building syndrome is being discussed. These alcohol compounds are known to be generated from the deterioration of building material resins and water-based paint components, but effective capture technologies have not yet been established. In addition, alcohol-based VOCs such as 2-methyl-1-butanol and 1-pentanol can also be generated during the growth and metabolic processes of microorganisms, and are a contributing factor to the so-called musty odor (Non-Patent Literature 1).

[0038] The scavenger or composition of the present invention can capture active hydrogen-containing organic compounds, such as alcohol compounds, with higher selectivity compared to conventionally known scavenging techniques.
[0039] The scavenger or composition of the present invention captures active hydrogen-containing organic compounds through a chemical reaction with isocyanate groups. As a result, once captured, the active hydrogen-containing organic compounds are hardly re-released, eliminating concerns about re-contamination of the space. Furthermore, due to its high water resistance, it exhibits the effect of sustained active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenging ability in living environments. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0041] The present invention relates to the above-described scavenging agents or compositions, and their uses. Note that wt% means weight percent, and A to B means A or more and B or less (the same applies hereinafter).
[0042] In the above general formulas (1), (1a), and (1b), R 3 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a bromine atom.
[0043] R 3 The alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in this compound is not particularly limited, but examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, or tert-butyl groups.
[0044] From the viewpoint of excellent productivity of isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formula (1), (1a), or (1b), R 3 Each of these is preferably independently a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or a bromine atom, and more preferably independently a hydrogen atom or a bromine atom.
[0045] Note, R 3 However, if each atom is independently a hydrogen atom or a bromine atom, then the above general formula (1) can be rewritten as the following general formula (1').
[0046] [ka]
[0047] (In the above general formula, R 1 and R 2Each of the following independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. m represents at least one selected from the group consisting of 0, 1, 2, and 3. n independently represents a real number of 0 or greater. -Br represents a bromine atom, and k represents a real number in the range of 1 to [5-m+m×(3×n+1)] (i.e., a real number in the range of 1 to [5+3×m×n]), representing a state where a real number (k) of bromine atoms corresponding to Ywt% is bonded to the aromatic ring carbon atom. In the above general formula (1'), -Br represents a bromine atom bonded to the aromatic ring, but this does not mean that there is one bromine atom; rather, it means that there are a number of bromine atoms bonded that satisfy the Ywt% described later. Ywt% represents the bromine content in the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1') (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds), and as described above, it is preferably 38 to 78 wt%.
[0048] Furthermore, with respect to the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1) (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds, in the case of a mixture, n represents the average value of the mixture), it is preferable that the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1a) (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds, in the case of a mixture, n represents the average value of the mixture) is preferable in terms of its excellent ability to capture active hydrogen-containing organic compounds, and it is more preferable that the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1b) (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds, in the case of a mixture, n represents the average value of the mixture) is preferable.
[0049] In the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), and (1b), R 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents either a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
[0050] R 1 and R 2The alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in this compound is not particularly limited, but examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, or tert-butyl groups.
[0051] From the viewpoint of superior productivity of the above-mentioned isocyanate compounds, R 1 and R 2 Each of these is preferably a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and more preferably a hydrogen atom.
[0052] In general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), and (1b), n represents a real number greater than or equal to 0. From the viewpoint of excellent productivity of the isocyanate compound represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b), n is preferably a real number greater than 0, more preferably a real number greater than 0.1, and more preferably a real number greater than 0.3. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of excellent productivity of the isocyanate compound represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b), n is preferably a real number of 10 or less, more preferably a real number of 6 or less, more preferably a real number of 3 or less, and more preferably a real number of 2 or less.
[0053] With respect to n, it is preferably a real number between 0 and 10, more preferably a real number between 0 and 6, more preferably a real number greater than 0 and 6 or less, more preferably a real number greater than 0.1 and 3, more preferably a real number greater than 0.3 and 2 or less, and it is even more preferably a real number between 0 and 3, and more preferably a real number between 0 and 2, with respect to excellent productivity of isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b).
[0054] Note that when n is 0, it means that the base enclosed by [ ]n in general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) no longer exists.
[0055] In general formulas (1), (1'), and (1a), m represents at least one selected from the group consisting of 0, 1, 2, and 3. That is, the isocyanates represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), or (1a) may be, for example, a single isocyanate with m=0, or a mixture containing the components m=0, m=1, m=2, and m=3.
[0056] With respect to m, from the viewpoint of excellent productivity of isocyanate compounds represented by general formula (1), (1'), or (1a), it is preferable that m be at least one selected from the group consisting of 0, 1, and 2, more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of 0 and 1, and more preferably 0 or 1.
[0057] When m is 0, it means that there are no groups enclosed in [ ]m in general formulas (1), (1'), or (1a). When m is 3, it means that there are three groups enclosed in [ ]m, each bonded to the fundamental benzene ring.
[0058] When m is 2 or 3, the general formula implies that there are two or three n values, but the range of n can be clearly expressed by defining its average value.
[0059] Here, for example, an isocyanate with m=0 (i.e., n=0) can be described as a mononuclear body, an isocyanate with m=1 and n=1 can be described as a dinuclear body, an isocyanate with m=1 and n=2 can be described as a trinuclear body, an isocyanate with m=1 and n=3 or an isocyanate with m=3 and three n=1 (average value) can be described as a tetranuclear body, and an isocyanate with m=1 and n=4 or an isocyanate with m=3 and n=1.33 (average value represented by 4 / 3) can be described as a pentanuclear body.
[0060] The general formulas for mononuclear to pentanuclear structures included in general formula (1), etc., are not particularly limited, but examples are given below.
[0061] [ka]
[0062] In each of the above general formulas, R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 The definition and preferred range are as stated above.
[0063] The isocyanate compound of the present invention may be a single compound, or it may be a mixture of isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) having different combinations of m and n. In the case of a mixture of isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b), n is treated as the average value derived from each component of the mixture, and therefore may be a real number rather than an integer.
[0064] In other words, the isocyanate compound of the present invention may be mononuclear only, dinuclear only, trinuclear only, a mixture of mononuclear and dinuclear, a mixture of mononuclear, dinuclear and trinuclear, a mixture of mononuclear, dinuclear and tetranuclear, or a mixture of tetranuclear or more, and is not limited to these.
[0065] Furthermore, when the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) is a mixture of multiple nuclei, it is preferable that each of the nuclei satisfies the specified range for its bromine content (corresponding to Ywt%) in general formula (1'). However, it is not necessarily required that each of the nuclei satisfies the specified range; it is sufficient that the mixture as a whole satisfies the specified range. That is, for example, the compound of the present invention can be produced by mixing a dinuclear compound with a bromine content below the specified lower limit and a trinuclear compound with a bromine content above the specified upper limit in a ratio such that the bromine content falls within the specified range.
[0066] Furthermore, the isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) are preferably mononuclear, dinuclear, trinuclear, tetranuclear, or mixtures of multiple nuclear compounds, in terms of excellent supply stability. In the case of a mixture of multiple nuclear compounds, the relative abundance of each nucleus is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that mononuclear compounds make up 0-20%, dinuclear compounds 10-99%, trinuclear compounds 5-60%, and tetranuclear compounds or more make up 0-30%.
[0067] Here, the abundance ratio [%] of each nucleus mentioned above represents the GPC area %. The measurement conditions for the GPC area % are as follows.
[0068] A Tosoh Corporation HLC-8320GPC GPC analyzer was used. Tosoh Corporation columns TSKgel guardcolumn SuperAW-H, TSKgel SuperAW2500, TSKgel SuperAW2500, TSKgel SuperAW3000, and TSKgel SuperAW3000 were used in series in that order, with the column temperature set to 40°C. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as the eluent at a flow rate of 0.6 mL / min, and a UV-Vis absorbance detector set to 254 nm was used. Data processing was performed using Tosoh Corporation GPC-8020 Model II version 4.10. For the measurement sample, 0.1 g of the sample was dissolved in 10 mL of THF, filtered through a microfilter, and 10 μL of the resulting sample was used. The obtained chromatogram allows for the calculation of the content of mononuclear, dinuclear, trinuclear, tetranuclear, and pentanuclear or more nuclei.
[0069] When the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) is a mixture of multiple compounds (a mixture of multiple nuclei), the above n is expressed as the average value (real number) of the mixture, and this average value can be calculated using the abundance ratio [GPC area %] of each nucleus mentioned above.
[0070] For example, if the abundance ratio of dinuclear cells (m=1, n=1) is 50 [GPC area %] and the abundance ratio of trinuclear cells (m=1, n=2) is 50 [GPC area %], the average value of n is calculated as (1 × 0.5 + 2 × 0.5) = 1.5.
[0071] In general formula (1'), k represents a real number in the range 1 to [5-m+m×(3×n+1)] (i.e., a real number in the range 1 to [5+3×m×n]). For example, when m=0 (i.e., n=0), k represents a real number from 1 to 5; when m=1 and n=1, k represents a real number from 1 to 8; and when m=1 and n=2, k represents a real number from 1 to 11.
[0072] The value of k represents a real number because n is a real number, and because the number of bromine atoms added when producing the isocyanate compounds represented by the general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) above is not necessarily uniform across all molecules. For example, if there are 50 / 50 molecules with m=n=0 and one added bromine atom, and 50 / 50 molecules with m=n=0 and two added bromine atoms, then k will be a real number of approximately 1.5.
[0073] The bromine content (Ywt%) in the isocyanate compound represented by general formula (1), (1'),(1a), or (1b) is characterized by being 38 to 78 wt%. From the viewpoint of increasing the capture selectivity of active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds, the bromine content is preferably 45 to 78 wt%, more preferably 50 to 78 wt%, and even more preferably 55 to 78 wt%. The bromine content (Ywt%) in the isocyanate compound represented by general formula (1), (1'),(1a), or (1b) is the result of measurement by the oxygen flask combustion-IC method.
[0074] There is a certain correlation between the bromine content (Ywt%) in general formula (1') and the real number k mentioned above. The range of k above represents the maximum number of bromine atoms that the isocyanate compound represented by general formula (1') can take.
[0075] Isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) can be produced by isocyanating the corresponding amine compounds. For example, patent document (GB971168) discloses the production of aromatic isocyanate compounds containing a bromine atom.
[0076] The isocyanate compound represented by general formula (1), (1a), or (1b) (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds) is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be produced by using an amine compound represented by the following general formula (2), (2a), or (2b) as a precursor (which may be a single compound or a mixture of multiple compounds, in the case of a mixture, n represents the average value of the mixture) and converting the amino group of the amine compound to an isocyanate group.
[0077] [ka]
[0078] (In the above general formula, R 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. 3 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a bromine atom. m represents at least one selected from the group consisting of 0, 1, 2, and 3. n represents a real number greater than or equal to 0.
[0079] [ka]
[0080] (In the above general formula, R 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. 3Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a bromine atom. m represents at least one selected from the group consisting of 0, 1, 2, and 3. n represents a real number greater than or equal to 0.
[0081] [ka]
[0082] (In the above general formula, R 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. 3 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a bromine atom. n represents a real number greater than or equal to 0. In the above general formulas (2), (2a), or (2b), R 1 , R 2 , R 3 The definitions and preferred ranges of , n, and m are as follows: R in the general formula (1) above. 1 , R 2 , R 3 This is synonymous with the definitions and preferred ranges of n and m.
[0083] While it is difficult to specify a general bromine content (wt%) for general formulas (2), (2a), or (2b), it is preferable that each theoretically satisfies the requirements for the bromine content (wt%) in general formulas (1), (1a), or (2b).
[0084] The amine compounds represented by the above general formulas (2), (2a), or (2b) are not particularly limited, but examples include brominated aniline, brominated 4,4'-methylenedianiline, brominated 2,2'-bis(4-aminophenyl)propane, brominated polymer products of aniline and formalin, or brominated polymer products of aniline and acetone.
[0085] The amine compounds represented by the above general formulas (2), (2a), or (2b) can be used as commercially available products, or they can be produced by brominating aniline, 4,4'-methylenedianiline, 2,2'-bis(4-aminophenyl)propane, polymerization products of aniline and formalin, or polymerization products of aniline and acetone using generally known methods. They can also be produced as polymerization products of brominated aniline and formalin, or brominated aniline and acetone.
[0086] Next, we will describe active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavengers or compositions containing isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b).
[0087] Generally, isocyanate compounds such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) (isocyanate compounds different from those represented by the general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) above) are used as raw materials for the manufacture of polyurethanes. This utilizes the fundamental property that isocyanate groups react with nucleophilic functional groups (so-called groups having active hydrogen, such as hydroxyl groups and amino groups). Conventional isocyanate compounds are highly reactive and react with moisture in the air even at temperatures around room temperature (15°C to 40°C), resulting in low storage stability under atmospheric conditions.
[0088] In contrast to such conventional technologies, the isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) have high water resistance and are characterized by extremely slow reaction with water in a temperature environment around room temperature (15°C to 40°C). On the other hand, they are characterized by reacting with active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds in a temperature environment around room temperature (15°C to 40°C). In other words, the isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) react with high selectivity with active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds in the presence of water and such active hydrogen-containing organic compounds. By making good use of this characteristic, an active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger containing an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b), or a composition containing an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) and a carrier, can be used as a scavenger for active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds that have a sustained effect in the living environment.
[0089] The organic compounds containing active hydrogen that are to be captured are not particularly limited, but include, for example, alcohol compounds, thiol compounds, amine compounds, phenol compounds, or carboxylic acid compounds. More specific examples, not particularly limited, include, for example, primary alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol, 1-decanol, 1-undecanol, 1-dodecanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, 2-hexanol, cyclohexanol, and 2,2,4-trimethylphenyl Examples include secondary alcohols such as tan-1,3-diol monoisobutyrate, tertiary alcohols such as tert-butanol, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol, terpineol, and linalool, polyols such as 1,2-ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and glycerin, amines such as methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, butylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, and hexamethylenediamine, thiol compounds such as methyl mercaptan, ethyl mercaptan, propyl mercaptan, butyl mercaptan, hexyl mercaptan, and thiophenol, carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid, and phenolic compounds such as phenol and salicylic acid.
[0090] Among these active hydrogen-containing organic compounds, alcohol compounds or carboxylic acid compounds are preferred because they are difficult to capture using conventional techniques and provide the remarkably unique effects of the present invention.
[0091] The state of the active hydrogen-containing organic compound to be captured can be solid, liquid, or gaseous. However, to efficiently capture the active hydrogen-containing organic compound, it is necessary to increase the frequency of contact with the isocyanate compound represented by the general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) above, so it is preferable that it be in a liquid or gaseous state. The active hydrogen-containing organic compound to be captured may also be dissolved in a solvent. There are no particular limitations on the solvents that can be used, but examples include aqueous solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, halogenated solvents, aromatic solvents, ether solvents, etc.
[0092] The isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) are liquid or solid at room temperature. The isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) themselves can be used as scavengers in liquid or solid form, or the solid isocyanate compounds represented by general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) can be ground into a powder using a mortar and pestle or similar device and used in powder form, or the powder can be further compressed into a mass and used in that form. All of these are active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavengers of the present invention.
[0093] A composition comprising an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1) having a bromine content of 38-78 wt% and a carrier (hereinafter also referred to as "the composition of the present invention") also exhibits the effect of an active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger as targeted by the present invention. In this case, it is preferable that the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1) is supported on the carrier.
[0094] In the compositions of the present invention described above, the isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1) having a bromine content of 38 to 78 wt% is preferably an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1') having a bromine content (Y wt%) of 38 to 78 wt%, more preferably an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1a) having a bromine content of 38 to 78 wt%, and even more preferably an isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1b) having a bromine content of 38 to 78 wt%.
[0095] In the compositions of the present invention described above, the bromine content in the isocyanate compound represented by the general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) is preferably 45 to 78 wt%, more preferably 50 to 78 wt%, and more preferably 55 to 78 wt%, from the viewpoint of increasing the capture selectivity of active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds. The bromine content in the present invention (Y wt%) in general formula (1') is measured by the oxygen flask combustion-IC method.
[0096] Furthermore, the aforementioned carriers are not particularly limited, but examples include activated carbon, activated clay, diatomaceous earth, porous resin, nonwoven fabric, mesoporous silica, silica gel, aluminosilicate, hydrotalcite, zeolite, activated alumina, titania, magnesia, or zirconia. Among these carriers, activated carbon, nonwoven fabric, silica gel, or hydrotalcite are preferred in terms of their excellent scavenging performance, with silica gel or hydrotalcite being more preferred.
[0097] When an isocyanate compound represented by general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) is supported on a carrier, the relevant isocyanate compound can be dissolved in an organic solvent, mixed with the carrier, and then subjected to an organic solvent removal procedure. In this case, it is preferable to use an organic solvent that does not contain active hydrogen, and although not particularly limited, examples include hexane, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, benzene, chlorobenzene, toluene, or xylene.
[0098] The compositions of the present invention described above may further contain clays such as styrene-butadiene rubber, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, sepiolite, and attapulgite, as well as binders such as sodium silicate and silica sol.
[0099] The amount of isocyanate compound represented by the above general formula (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) to be supported on a carrier is not particularly limited, but for example, each is preferably 0.1 to 60 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the carrier, more preferably 0.5 to 40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the carrier, and more preferably 1 to 25 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the carrier.
[0100] As described above, the isocyanate compounds represented by the above general formulas (1), (1'), (1a), or (1b) can be used as scavenging agents in powder or lump form, or they can be used as scavenging agents containing a carrier or supported on a carrier. From the viewpoint of improving the scavenging effect of active hydrogen-containing organic compounds, it is preferable to use them as scavenging agents supported on a carrier such as silica gel, zeolite, alumina, hydrotalcite, or activated carbon.
[0101] In the present invention, the temperature at which an active hydrogen-containing organic compound is captured using the active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger or composition of the present invention described above is not particularly limited, but any temperature in the range of 0 to 150°C is acceptable. From the viewpoint of selectively capturing active hydrogen-containing organic compounds such as alcohol compounds, a temperature range of 10 to 100°C is preferred, and a temperature range of 20 to 70°C is more preferred.
[0102] The active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger or composition of the present invention described above can be used in a method for capturing active hydrogen-containing organic compounds. Specifically, the active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger or composition of the present invention can be captured by contacting at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alcohol compounds, thiol compounds, amine compounds, phenol compounds, and carboxylic acid compounds with the active hydrogen-containing organic compound scavenger or composition of the present invention described above.
[0103] Furthermore, these target compounds (active hydrogen-containing organic compounds) are preferably generated in the natural or living environment, and the factors causing their generation may be anthropogenic or non-anthropogenic.
[0104] Among these target compounds (active hydrogen-containing organic compounds), alcohol compounds or carboxylic acid compounds are preferred because they are difficult to capture using conventional techniques, and the distinctive effects of the present invention can be obtained.

The analysis showed that, compared to before the test, the isocyanate group peak disappeared, and instead, a carbonyl group peak derived from the reaction product of ethanol and the isocyanate group was observed. No peaks derived from hydrolysis were observed. That is, the isocyanate group of Synthesis Example 6 compound did not react with water but reacted selectively with ethanol. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0143] Comparative Example 8 A stirring bar, 30 mg of polymeric MDI (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation; Millionate MR-200), and 10 mL of water were added to a 20 mL vial. The vial was sealed and stirred at room temperature for one month. After filtering to remove the water, the resulting solid was subjected to FT-IR analysis.

The vial was left open and stirred at 60°C for 14 days in an air atmosphere. The resulting solid was then subjected to FT-IR analysis. The analysis revealed significant changes in peak intensity and pattern compared to before the test. Specifically, the polymeric MDI decomposed due to trace amounts of moisture in the air under heating conditions. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0145] Comparative Example 10 A stirring bar, 30 mg of polymeric MDI (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation; Millionate MR-200), and a 30% ethanol aqueous solution were added to a 20 mL vial. The vial was sealed and stirred at 45°C for 3 days. After filtering to remove the solvent, the resulting solid was subjected to FT-IR analysis. The analysis revealed that, compared to before the test, the isocyanate group peak disappeared, and instead, a carbonyl group peak derived from the reaction product of ethanol and polymeric MDI, and a peak derived from the hydrolysis of polymeric MDI were observed. In other words, polymeric MDI showed poor reaction selectivity between water and ethanol. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0146] Comparative Example 11 A stirring bar, 30 mg of 2,4,6-triterminate butylisocyanatobenzene, and a 30% aqueous ethanol solution were added to a 20 mL vial.

The analysis showed that the isocyanate group peak did not disappear compared to before the test, and the shape of the other peaks remained unchanged. In other words, 2,4,6-triterminate butylisocyanatobenzene did not react with either water or ethanol. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0147] Table 3 shows that materials containing isocyanate compounds represented by general formula (1) are resistant to moisture in the environment and have the ability to capture alcohol compounds.
