Summary of the invention
At the problem that above-mentioned prior art exists, the present invention provides a kind of preparation method for preparing high quality HQEE and HER through research, exploitation.And carried out industrialized checking.
As everyone knows, the superpolymer formed by soft chain segment and hard segment two class different molecular structures of urethane.Constitute and suitably adjust its segmental, will obtain the different product of performance.Chainextender (containing amino or oxy-compound) is that the key in its polyurethane preparation one of is formed, except participating in amino or hydroxyl with isocyanate reaction, the common aliphatic hydrocarbon that contains of chainextender self, virtue nuclear, heterocycle etc. also must influence the change of urethane performance.Aliphatic fourth (hot, penta etc.) dibasic alcohol is the chainextender of using always, because aliphatic hydrocarbon segment (becoming soft) limit, the desire meaning obtains the urethane of high rigidity, just must introduce segments (becoming hard) such as fragrant nuclear, realizes.HQEE/HER has aliphatic hydrocarbon segment and virtue nuclear segmental compound, and this is the preparation of urethane just,
The range of choice of broad is provided in the design between prescription and the performance.Target compound of the present invention, HQEE and HER develop for adapting to these needs.
The chemical structural formula of HQEE and HER is:
In the preparation of polyurethane product, its technology operability is an important link.According to practice in the course of the work, know very well, although the fusing point of HQEE more than 103 ℃, need be after its fusion, could with isocyanate terminated polymkeric substance (giving aggressiveness) reaction, industrial also be feasible.And seek the more low similar compound of fusing point, also be that people's institute asks.After having developed HQEE, the HER that its homologue fusing point is 89 ℃ has also developed thereupon like this.HER has been arranged, can lower the service temperature (if mix use, their eutectic point also is to be significantly less than HQEE's) of preparation urethane, the production for goods brings great convenience.
Find in the research that if with these two compounds, mix use later on according to different part by weight, the performance of the polyurethane product that obtains is used and more apparent excellence separately separately than their, producing has the complementary additive effect.These two compounds are applied to separately in the preparation of polyurethane product separately, and the performance of resulting product is very approaching.
The preparation method's of HQEE/HER of the present invention technical scheme is: Resorcinol or Resorcinol are in having the aqueous solution of catalyzer, and with reacting ethylene oxide, its chemical equation is respectively:
After as above reaction is finished, decolour, processed, remove catalyzer again, thereby obtain target compound.
The key problem in technology factor of industrial technology production method disclosed in this invention is:
1. the dihydric phenols compound that contains hydroxyl is being introduced epoxy alkane (for example oxyethane, propylene oxide), can direct addition obtains the alcohol compound (OCH of ether
2CH
2OH ,-OCH
2CH
2CH
2OH).With regard to the dihydric phenol that contains benzene nucleus, it has outside the leading product of the alcohol compound that generates ether, and epoxy alkane still can further be deepened: generate the segment of lengthening reaction, i.e. generation-OCH
2CH
2(OCH
