Description

ORGANOSILICONE HAVING A CARBOXYL FUNCTIONAL GROUP THEREON
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel organosilicone compositions and, more particularly, to silicone compositions having a carboxyl functional group thereon.

Background of the Invention While carboxyl functional organosilicones are known, they are generally difficult and expensive to prepare and the commercial use thereof has therefore been limited. Heretofore, no convenient method for directly preparing polysiloxanes containing functional carboxylic acid groups is known and indirect routes for their preparation have generally been used, including hydrosilylation of an unsaturated ester followed by hydrolysis, or alternatively, by hydrolysis of nitrile-containing silicone fluids. However, polysiloxanes containing one or more functional groups such as amino groups are well known and readily available and have been used in a variety of commercial applications. Accordingly, the development of a method for readily and more directly preparing polysiloxanes containing one or more functional carboxyl groups would be desirable and it would be particularly advantageous if such method employed readily available materials such as amino functional polysiloxanes for not only preparing carboxyl functional polysiloxanes but a variety of organosilicone derivatives thereof as well, including silicone containing compositions which are readily soluble in a variety of solvents, preferably soluble in water such as silicone-containing phospholipid compositions and the like.
While, as indicated, polysiloxanes containing functional carboxylic acid groups and methods for preparing the same have heretofore been suggested, there is no disclosure or suggestion of the novel carboxyl functional silicone compositions of the present invention or of the method of making the same.
Summary of the Invention It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide novel organosilicone compositions having at least one carboxyl functional group thereon.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for directly and readily preparing organosilicone compositions having at least one carboxyl functional group thereon.

Example 1 An alpha-omega diamino functional polysiloxane fluid obtained commercially under the designation Tegomer A-Si2120 from Goldschmidt Company is used in this example.
The amine content of the fluid is 3.5% which corresponds to a molecular weight of 91.4 grams of the above polysiloxane fluid (0.1 moles) is admixed with 26 grams (0.2 moles) of Itaconic Acid in a reaction vessel. Upon combination of the reactants, a heterogeneous mixture is formed. External heat is applied to the reaction vessel bringing the reaction mixture to a temperature of about 110 C, whereupon the reaction mixture becomes completely homogeneous while the temperature rises to 140 C.
After a heating period of 4 hours, a total of 7.5m1 of volatiles are collected. The acid value of the reaction mixture is 81.6 (theoretical 95.5) while the alkali number is nil, thus confirming that there is the presence of carboxyl groups on the product.

Example 2 An alpha, omega-Bis primary amino alkyl dimethyl polysiloxane fluid with an average molecular weight about 1579.5 and having the general formula:

CH~ i H3 CH1 HN- CH'CH'CH~ 81 O- Si O- Si CH~ CH' ~ CH~ NH

The reaction mixture is heated to and maintained at a temperature of 140 C to 150 C for a period of 3 hours during which time about 20m1. of water and other volatiles are collected. A clear, yellow viscous liquid is formed having an alkali number of 0.
The mixture is then cooled to 90 C and 192.6 grams (an excess) of dimethylamino propylamine is admixed therewith. The temperature in the reaction vessel is increased to 170 C to 185 C and maintained at that temperature for an 4 additional hours during which time a total of 92 ml. of volatiles is collected.
The reaction mixture is then cooled to about 50 C
and subjected to a vacuum of 30mm. While the vacuum is slowly drawn to 3mm, the reaction vessel temperature is increased from 75 C to 150 C. The product residue collected from the reaction vessel has a 92% yield with an alkali number of 67 (theoretical alkali number is 57).
200.88 grams of the reaction product above (0.12 moles) is then admixed with 75.4 grams of 40% active phosphate ester halide reactant and a 2:1 mixture of propylene glycol and water to obtain a solution having 30%
solids. The phosphate ester halide reactant used is prepared by the reaction of 3 moles of epichlorohydrin and one mole of sodium dihydrogen phosphate.
The reaction admixture is heated for 4 hours at a temperature range of 75 C to 85 C whereupon a homogeneous, clear liquid solution is obtained having a NaCl content of 1.8% (theoretical NaCl is 1.86%).
The product formed when mixed with water produced a great deal of stable foam whereas the polysiloxane functional amino fluid used as a starting material in the example provided no foam when mixed with water.

To 43.2 grams (0.025 moles) of the above siloxane fluid in a reaction vessel is added with mixing 6.5 grams 10 (0.05 moles) of Itaconic acid. The mixture is heated to 90 C whereupon an exotherm occurs raising the temperature to 130 C and resulting in a liquified viscous yellow mass.
The reaction mixture is heated to and maintained at a temperature of 135 -140 C for 3 hours while some volatiles 15 are collected and at which point the alkali number is zero.
There is then added to the reaction mixture 7.7 grams (0.075 moles, 50% excess) of dimethylamino propylamine (DMAPA) and the temperature is raised to 165 C
where it is held for four additional hours. The reaction mixture is subjected to vacuum stripping to remove excess DMAPA at a reaction vessel temperature of 125 C and a vacuum of 10mm. The alkali number ofthe reaction product residue is 54 (theoretical 52.9).

After heating for two hours, the reaction mixture is cooled to 70 C and 4.08 grams (an excess) of dimethylamino propyl amine (DMAPA) is admixed therewith.
The reaction mixture is then heated to a temperature of 165 C for four hours, cooled to 70 C and vacuum stripped at 30-10mm for three hours while slowly raising the temperature to 110 C.
The reaction product residue is a clear liquid having an alkali number of 12.3 (theoretical 12.2) and an acid number of 0. i.r. analysis confirms the presence of an amide linkage.

Example 6 A pendant (lateral) amino functional silicone fluid obtained from Shin-Etsu under the product designation KF 865 is used in this example. The silicone fluid has an amine value of 0.2219 percent which corresponds to an amine equivalent weight of 5675.
665.9 grams (0.1173 equiv. wt.) of the silicone fluid and 15.25 grams of Itaconic acid (0.1173 mole) are combined with 150 ml of xylene in a reaction vessel and heated to a temperature of 130 -140 C under reflux. After heating for 4 to 5 hours under reflux, 2.3 ml of water is removed (theory 2.1).
17.9 grams of dimethylpropyl amine (DMAPA) is then admixed with the reaction mixture and heated under reflux at a temperature of 160 - 170 C for a period of about 4 hours during which time an additional 2.1 grams of water is removed. The reaction mixture is cooled to about 70 C and vacuum stripped at 30-40mm to remove low boiling volatiles. A vacuum of 5-10 mm is then applied to the reaction mixture and the reaction vessel is heated for three hours at 140 C. The reaction product is a clear liquid having an alkali number of 9 (theoretical 9.55) which corresponds to an amine equivalent weight of 6233.
Example 7 This example illustrates an alternate procedure of preparing a polysiloxane composition having at least one pyrrolidone containing carboxyl functional group(s).
A mixture of 122.4 grams of octamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane, 13.4 grams of tetramethylohsiloxane, 0.7 grams of activated charcoal and 0.07 grams concentrated sulfuric acid are charged into a reaction vessel and heated with agitation to 65 C for 24 hours. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is subjected to reduced pressure at 70 C for 48 hours. A colorless liquid is obtained having a number average molecular weight of about 1580 which is terminated in silicon hydride as determined by NMR.
A solution of 15.8 grams (0.1 mole) of dimethyl itaconate in 30ml of methanol is added at ambient to a reaction vessel containing a solution of 5.7 grams (0.1 mole) alylamine in lOml methanol. Upon complete addition of the dimethyl itaconate, a mild exotherm is produced raising the reaction mixture temperature to 55 C. Following this, the reaction mixture is held at ref lux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is stripped of solvent and the product (N-allyl 4 carbonmethoxy pyrrolidone) is isolated by distillation of 115 C. A colorless liquid is obtained in 85% yield.
158 grams of the silicone hydride terminated polysiloxane material prepared above is charged to a reaction vessel and iml of a 0.1N chloroplatinic acid solution in tetrahydrofurane (THF) is added thereto. The reaction mixture is heated to 90-95 C, the heat source is removed and 36.6 grams (0.2 Equivalents) of the itaconate/allylamine reaction product prepared above is added to the reaction vessel. After a brief induction period, the temperature of the mixture starts to rise slowly and the reaction temperature is controlled between 110-115 C by the rate of addition. Following complete addition of the pyrrolidone reaction product, the reaction mixture is heated at 120 C for 3 hours.
Analysis of the reaction product indicates complete absence of Silicone-Hydride absorption and allylic unsaturated is also absent. NMR analysis confirms that the resulting reaction product is an alpha-Omega capped carbomethoxy pyrrolidone containing silicone fluid.
Although some preferred embodiments have been described, many modifications and variations may be made thereto in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described and illustrated.
