Description

The method for preparing polytetramethylene glycol
Polytetramethylene glycol is to be formed by cationic ring-opening polymerization by tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF), is to produce block polyether polyurethane and the elastomeric important soft section material of polyether polyester, requires its molecular weight to be lower than 3000, and is adjustable, and the two ends of chain all must be hydroxyls.The industrial process that can satisfy above-mentioned condition at present have three kinds (Chemical Industry Inst. of Hunan Prov., the Hunan chemical industry, 1975(1), 81.Zhang Hongzhi, Dong Xiuzhi, Feng Xinde, polymer communication, 1978,119.)。One, aceticanhydride-perchloric acid is the initiator system method.The product end group that this method single step reaction generates is an ethanoyl, needs carry out saponification in alcohol, and flow process is more numerous, and still residual 0.5~1.0% acetyl end group (Japan's special permission, clear 48-32200) in the sample after the saponification; In addition, aceticanhydride consumption height (be monomeric charge amount 20%) is strong to equipment corrosion.Two, fluosulfonic acid is made the initiator method.The difficult preparation of this method initiator, consumption also big (be about monomeric charge amount 8~15%), serious to equipment corrosion.Three, be the initiator system method with oleum-perchloric acid.Though the initiator price of this method is lower, corrodibility is strong.More than three kinds of methods all equipment is had the deep-etching effect, bring difficulty to production.
The present invention adopts boron trifluoride to make initiator, and its corrodibility is lower, is applicable to industrial production.Johnston (Johnston, P.R., J.Appl, Polym, sci., 1965,9,461; US 3,359,332, (1967)) once used 5%(mol) boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex (BF 3OEt 2) and the initiator system formed of promotor oxyethane (EO) cause the THF polymerization, through reaction in 17 minutes, transformation efficiency was 17%, molecular weight of product is 1000; Reacted 34 minutes, then transformation efficiency reaches 34%, and molecular weight is 2000.The molecular weight of product is controlled in the Johnston suggestion with the reaction times.But owing to the change with transformation efficiency, the molecular weight of product floating range is excessive, is difficult for being controlled by the time, thereby is not accepted.
It is difficult to cause the THF polymerization with boron trifluoride separately.So share, normal and propylene oxide (PO), oxyethane or epoxy chloropropane small molecules three-membered ring ethers (doing promotor) such as (ECH) causes the THF polymerization.Initiation reaction has not only been accelerated in the effect of promotor, and can improve efficiency of initiation.It is generally acknowledged with EO and ECH be the promotor effect than good with PO, but between EO and ECH, do not do further relatively.People such as Saegusa (Saegusa, T., Matsumoto, S., Macromol, 1968,1,442) and people (Fujimoto such as Fujimoto, T., Kawahashi, M., Nagasawa, M., Takahashi, A., Polym, J., 1979.11,193) experimental data shows respectively, and when 0 ℃ was promotor with ECH or EO, polymerization did not have chain termination and chain transfer reaction.Therefore, can generate the polyether products that the chain two ends are hydroxyl in polymerization later stage water termination reaction.To the reaction of no chain termination and chain transfer, have formula (1) (Zhang Hongzhi, Dong Jiayang, Wang Yanle, Ceng Xiansen, Feng Xinde, polymer communication .1985(4) 258) relation:
Molecular-weight average (MW)=(transformation efficiency * monomer density * 1000)/(initiator concentration * I f) (1)
I wherein fBe efficiency of initiation; Initiator concentration unit be mole (mol) initiator concentration not very big (as under<5mol%) the situation, the molecular weight that control product 3000 with next transformation efficiency and I fTwo play a decisive role.Work as I fWhen low, only just can make molecular-weight average low under the situation of low-conversion, can only be that to make molecular weight of product at 17% o'clock be 1000 at transformation efficiency as Johnston.And molecular weight of product is unsteady bigger with transformation efficiency when low-conversion, rises at 34% o'clock as transformation efficiency, and molecular weight promptly increases to 2000.
We find, if change promotor into ECH, and I then fCan significantly improve.Can see by table 1, when concentration of initiating system strengthens, I fValue reduces; And under close concentration, be then I of promotor with ECH fValue is about 1.5~5 times when the EO, and therefore selecting ECH for use is promotor, when transformation efficiency still can make molecular weight of product at the polymkeric substance below 3000 up to 70~80% the time.And molecular weight of product unsteady less with rate of rotation, as work as I fBe that the data of trying to achieve by formula (1) in 0.5 o'clock show (seeing Table 2), when polymerisation conversion increases to 80% the time by 70%, molecular weight only increases to 2368 by 2072.Such molecular weight can satisfy the requirement of industrial preparation polytetramethylene glycol basically with the rangeability of transformation efficiency.
*Try to achieve by formula (1); △ (Johnston, P.R., J.Appl.Pelym.Scl., 1965,9,46])
Figure 85108553_IMG2
Can in reaction system, add molecular weight regulator for further strictly controlling molecular weight of product, as water, aceticanhydride, dibasic alcohol etc.We find that water can be controlled molecular weight effectively.When doing water, generally be limited in BF on the document to the research of THF polymerization influence 3: H 2O is 1: a 0~1(mol ratio) with interior (Kuzaev.A.I., Komratov, G.N., Korovina, G.V., Entelis, S.G., Vysokom.Soed.A, 1970,12,1033; Rozenberg, B.A., Liudvig, E.B., Gantmaher, A.R., Medvedev, S.S.Vysokom.Soed.1964,6,2035), and THF polymerization well when pointing out that the water yield is big, because water is the polymeric terminator.And work as water consumption after a little while, the phenomenon of molecular weight unexpected rapid increase can occur with the carrying out (being about at 40% o'clock) of polyreaction, thereby be difficult to control the molecular weight of product with the rising of rate of rotation as transformation efficiency.
It is BF that the present invention adopts the water yield to be a bit larger tham 1: 1 3: H 2O is 1: 1.05-2, be preferably 1: 1.20-1.35, obtained comparatively satisfied polymerisation conversion, and overcome the phenomenon that molecular weight sharply increases, make the molecular weight of product obtain control (seeing Table 6) more strictly, promptly molecular weight of product further dwindles during than polymerization under anhydrous condition with the floating range of polymerisation conversion.
The initiator boron trifluoride can directly use, and perhaps uses itself and tetrahydrofuran (THF) (BF 3THF) or the complex compound that forms of ether, two kinds of complex compounds, gained result close (seeing Table 4); Temperature during polymerization is being less than or equal to 10 ℃, and is best (seeing Table 7) with 0~5 ℃.The molecular-weight average of product is lower than 20000, and particularly molecular weight can regulated below 3000; The both-end of polymeric chain is hydroxyl (seeing Table 3); The infrared spectra consistent (Hummel, D.O., Infraed Analysis of Polymers, Resins and Additives, Wiley-Inferscience, New york, 1969, Vol.1,985) of polytetramethylene glycol on the infrared spectra of product and the handbook
In order to further specify the present invention, enumerate following example

Polymerisation conversion=(resulting polymers weight/THF feeds intake heavily) * 100%.Ultimate yield=(resulting polymers heavily/(THF feeds intake weight-recovery THF heavily)) * 100%.
Example 2. adds 100ml(1.25mol in the 250ml there-necked flask that electronic stirring is housed) THF, put into 2 ℃ of thermostatic baths, start stirring, cooled off 10 minutes.Add 0.0641mol water, 0.0301molBF 3.OEt 2(for the 4.0mol% of THF amount) and 0.0501molECH.The system of reacting after the 6 or 10 hours suitable thickness that become adds the water termination reaction, its operation and post-processing operation and example 1 with.Reacting 10 hours polymerisation conversions is 57.9%, and ultimate yield is 92.8%, M GpcBe 2.0 * 10 3, acid number is 0.23mgKOH/g, and product is the water white transparency thick liquid, and the soft wax shape becomes colorless after long-time the placement.During 6 hours termination reactions of polymerization, transformation efficiency is 59.6%, M GpcBe 1.9 * 10 3Illustrate polymerization 6 hours with 10 hours, the two result is close.
Example 3. in test tube with 5ml(0.0625mol) THF is chilled to-10 ℃, adds BF 3THF0.00312mol(is the 5.0mol% of THF amount) and ECH0.00363mol.Filled drying nitrogen about one minute, the jam-pack soft rubber ball shakes up, and inserts polymerization in 2 ℃ of thermostatic baths, and system becomes sticky thick gradually.The mixed solution termination reaction that adds 3ml THF and 0.5ml water after 10 minutes.Shook 5~10 minutes, add 7.5ml water again, in boiling water bath, boil off THF, be dissolved in the 5ml hexanaphthene after cold, wash with water 4~5 times, drying under reduced pressure, 20~40mm mercury column that reduces pressure gradually, temperature is 60-80 ℃, continued dry 1 hour, get the water white transparency viscous fluid, polymerisation conversion is 59.0%, M GpcBe 1.57 * 10 3
Use BF 3OEt 2Replace BF 3THF obtains similar result (seeing Table 4).Reduce initiator amount, molecular weight of product increases, and therefore can regulate the molecular weight of product with the initiator different amounts.
