Description

Alkylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fine chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to an alkylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer with main chain comprising methylene (-CH)2-) and ether bond (-O-), and the structure destroys the regularity of the macromolecular chain structure, so that the product is not easy to crystallize, has the characteristics of good flexibility, low-temperature performance, strong cohesiveness, good mechanical property and the like, and is a new generation of binder of the NEPE solid rocket propellant. In addition, the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer can be used as a raw material for other plastic materials (e.g., polyurethane) as well as lubricant and fuel additives.
However, the applicant found that: as the catalyst for producing the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer, a solid acid, boron trifluoride, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, montmorillonite clay, etc. are usually used. For example:
chinese patent CN101942084A describes a method for synthesizing polytetrahydrofuran by using trifluoromethanesulfonic acid rare earth metal compound as catalyst, the catalyst has high finished product preparation, and the catalyst is separated by using solvent, which increases the complexity of the reaction process.
Chinese patent CN 111072946A adopts boron trifluoride complex as catalyst and polyalcohol as initiator to make cyclohexene oxide, ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran undergo the process of bulk polymerization, firstly adds tetrahydrofuran, polyalcohol and catalyst, stirs them, then adds cyclohexene oxide and ethylene oxide, after the reaction is completed, the synthesized crude product is passed through the processes of removing catalyst, removing small molecular substance, drying and filtering so as to obtain the invented product. The boron trifluoride complex compound adopted in the method has weak reaction activity, and is easy to volatilize, thus being not beneficial to operation.
Us patent GB854958, using montmorillonite clay as catalyst. The smectite clay is activated by contacting it with an aqueous solution containing only about 10% by weight or less of an inorganic acid. Although this type of montmorillonite clay catalyst is used to copolymerize THF and alkylene oxide polymerizations, this process produces a poly cyclic ether by-product, which can be present in amounts of up to 10% to 15% of the total mass.
The solid acid catalyst is one important kind of acid-base catalyst and is used widely in ionic catalytic reaction. However, the applicant found that: the existing solid acid catalysts on the market at present have high toxicity and strong corrosivity, are difficult to clean from processed products, and have the defects of poor reaction activity and selectivity. For example: phosphotungstic acid (H)3PW12O40·nH2O, HPW) is a solid oxygen-containing heteropoly acid with a Keggin structure, has strong acidity and higher catalytic activity and stability, and is widely applied to reactions such as olefin hydration, dehydration, esterification, alkylation, epoxidation and the like; however, the phosphotungstic acid catalyst has a small specific surface area, is easily dissolved in polar solvents such as water and alcohol, and is difficult to separate from the reaction system.
