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 methylene (-CH) main chain 2 (-) and ether bond (-O-) and the structure breaks the regularity of the macromolecular chain structure, so the structure 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 adhesive of NEPE solid rocket propellant. In addition, the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer can be used as a raw material for other plastic materials (such as polyurethane), lubricants, fuel additives, and the like.
However, the applicant found that: as the catalyst for preparing the ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer, solid acid, boron trifluoride, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, montmorillonite clay and the like are usually used. For example:
chinese patent CN101942084a describes a method for catalytic synthesis of polytetrahydrofuran with a rare earth triflate compound, which uses the rare earth triflate compound as a catalyst, which is highly prepared, and uses a solvent to separate the catalyst, increasing the complexity of the reaction process.
Chinese patent CN 111072946A adopts boron trifluoride complex as a catalyst and polyol as an initiator, so that the epoxycyclohexane, the epoxyethane and the tetrahydrofuran are subjected to bulk polymerization, tetrahydrofuran, the polyol and the catalyst are added, stirring is carried out, the epoxycyclohexane and the epoxyethane are added, after the reaction is finished, the synthesized crude product is subjected to catalyst removal, micromolecular substances are removed, and finally, the product is obtained through drying and filtering. The boron trifluoride complex adopted in the method has weak reaction activity, and is easy to volatilize, thus being unfavorable for operation.
U.S. patent GB854958 uses montmorillonite clay as a catalyst. The montmorillonite clay is activated by contact with an aqueous solution containing only about 10% by weight or less of a mineral acid. Although this type of montmorillonite clay catalyst is used to copolymerize THF and alkylene oxides for polymerization, the process produces a polycyclic ether by-product in amounts of up to 10% to 15% by weight of the total mass.
Solid acid catalystThe catalyst is an important catalyst in acid-base catalysts, and is widely applied to catalytic reactions of ionic mechanisms. However, the applicant found that: the existing solid acid catalysts in the market at present have higher toxicity and stronger corrosiveness, are difficult to clean from processed products, have the defect of poorer reactivity and selectivity, are complex in production and processing, and have high requirements on production and processing equipment, so that the production cost is high and the production cost is difficult to reduce. For example: phosphotungstic acid (H) 3 PW 12 O 40 ·nH 2 O, HPW) is a solid oxygen-containing heteropoly acid with a Keggin structure, has strong acidity, 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 small specific surface area, is easily dissolved in polar solvents such as water, alcohol and the like, and is difficult to separate from a reaction system.
