Description

PROCESS TO REDUCE THE LENGTH OF THE SULPHAN CHAIN OF bis (SILILORGANIL) POLYSULPHANES This invention relates to a process for reducing the length of the sulphan chain of bis (silyl-organyl) polysulfanes by reacting these compounds with a sulfide and a haloalkylsilane.
Polysulfanes of this type have been widely known (DE-PS 2255577) and are widely used as reinforcing additives in rubber vulcanizates containing silica, in particular in the tire sector. Bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfan (Si 69, Degussa AG) in particular has become established in such applications (c.f. Wolff, 129th Meeting of the Rubber Division, American Chemical Society, April 8-11, 1996, NY).
The processing advantages of the corresponding disulfins have recently been described in several publications. These compounds should be incorporated into the rubber compositions as the purest compounds possible according to EP-A-0732 362 (US Pat. No. 5,580,919) or alternatively in the form of mixtures (DE-OS 197 0246.1).
REF .: 028819 However, according to the prior art, disulfins are produced under non-pleasing conditions such as mercaptosilanes which must be oxidized with manganese dioxide (EP-A 0718 302).
The object of the invention is to provide a process which produces the desired product without developing this phenomenon.
The present invention provides a process for reducing the length of the bis (silylorganyl) polysulfanes sulfone chain, characterized in that an organosilicon compound of the general formula Z-Alq-Sx-Alq-Z (I) in which Z represents the groupings wherein R 1 represents a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl residue having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, the benzyl residue or the phenyl residue optionally substituted by methyl, ethyl or chlorine, R 2 represents an alkoxy group having a straight or branched carbon chain having 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a cycloalkoxy group having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, the phenoxy group or the benzyl group, wherein R 1 and R 2 could have each identical or different meanings, Alk represents a monounsaturated or saturated divalent linear or branched hydrocarbon residue having 1-10 C atoms, in particular 1 to 4 C atoms or the group x represents an integer from 3 to 8, in particular from 4 to 6 and n represents an integer from 1 to 4 reacts with an anhydrous sulphide of the general formula Me2S (II), wherein Me represents an alkali metal, in particular sodium or an equivalent of an alkaline earth metal or zinc or ammonium atom, and an organosilicon compound of the general formula A-Alq-Y (III) in which Z and Alq have the meanings stated above and Y means Cl, Br, wherein the molar ratio of polysulfane and Me2S is selected according to the desired sulfur content of the polysulfane to be partially desulfurized.
In a particular modality, x represents a statistical means, as the corresponding pure polysulfane could frequently be produced are only difficulty.
By appropriate adjustment of the molar ratios, it is possible to produce mixtures of different polysulfanes, in which for example the disulfones predominate (DE-OS 19702046) or also very pure polysulfanes, as used according to US Pat. No. 5,580,919.
The reaction ratios are in general selected such that the compound of the formula (II) is added to the reaction mixture in an amount (mol) which is at least completely sufficient to react with the Sy groups newly formed by the sulfur fraction. of the desulphurisation and the Na2S added to produce the compounds of the formula (I), wherein and < x = 1 corresponds to the length of the sulfur chain formed by the desulfurization.
The reaction preferably proceeds in an organic solvent, preferably polar which is inert under the test conditions. Such solvents include, in particular, aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, ethers having C 2 -C 12 atoms, amides, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, sulfoxides, such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide.
The reaction generally proceeds at temperatures of 50 ° C to the reflux temperature of the solvent used, optionally under the pressure that is established at this temperature.
The product obtained in particular has a chain length Sy where y = 2.
A tetrasulfan is preferably used to reduce the length of the sulfan chain.
It is applicable in part to the bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfan readily available.
The corresponding trisulfan is produced from a tetrasulfan by adjusting the molar ratios of the tetrasulfan, Me2S reagents and the compounds of the formula (II) to 1: 0.4 to 0.6: 0.9 to 1.1.
The ratios from 1: 1.8 to 2.2: 2.5 to 3.5 are required for the production of disulfan from tetrasulfan.
The preferably used compounds of the formula (II) are those that give rise to a symmetric polysulfane molecule.
Ejeptplos Example 1: Reduction of the average chain length from 4 to 2. 67. 4 g (0.13 mol) of bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) -tetrasulfane and 15.5 g (0.24 mol) of sodium sulfide in 120 ml of ethanol were introduced under protective N2 gas into a 500 ml three-necked flask with a condenser of reflux and magnetic stirrer. 108.7 g (0.45 mol) of 3-chloro-propyltriethoxysilane were added thereto at room temperature and then the reaction mixture was maintained at the reflux temperature for 2.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered and the residue of the filtration was washed three times with 30 ml of ethanol. The filtrates collected were evaporated in a rotary evaporator at 100 ° C under a final vacuum of 40 mbar. 153.1 g of a yellow liquid were obtained which, according to the spectroscopic analysis -RMN, comprises a mixture of polysulfane having an average polysulfane chain length of 2.
Performance: 90%.
Example 2: Reduction of the average chain length from 4 to 3. 100 g (0.19 mol) of bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) -tetrasulfane and 7.8 g (0.1 mol) of sodium sulphide in 100 ml of ethanol were introduced under protective N2 gas into a 500 ml three-necked flask with a condenser of reflux (condenser drip) and magnetic stirrer and refluxed for 1 hour. 48.2 g (0.2 mol) of 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane were added thereto and the reaction mixture was maintained at reflux temperature for 2.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered and the residue of the filtration was washed three times with 30 ml of ethanol. The filtrates collected were evaporated in a rotary evaporator at 110 ° C under a final vacuum of 40 mbar. 144.9 g of a red-brown liquid were obtained which, according to the spectroscopic analysis -R N, comprises a mixture of polysulfane having an average polysulfane chain length of 3.
Yield: 98%.

Having described the invention as above, the content of the following is claimed as property.
