Description

Verfahren zur katalytischen Polymerisation von cyclischen Diorganosilanen Das Patent 874 go6 betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kristallwasser enthaltenden Organosiliciumsalzen. Nach diesem Verfahren werden Hydrolysierungsprodukte von Verbindungen der Formel RSiX3, in der R einen Methyl-, Äthyl- oder Phenylrest und X Halogen oder einen Allkoxyrest bedeutet, mit Alkalimetallhydroxyd im Verhältnis i : 3 Alkalimetallatome auf i Siliciumatom in Gegenwart von 0,5 bis q. Mol Wasser auf :[Atom Alkalimetall und in Anwesenheit einer zum Lösen der Reaktionsteilnehmer ausreichenden Menge eines unter ioo° siedenden Alkohols zur Reaktion gebracht. Aus diesem Umsetzungsgemisch können die in ihm enthaltenen Organosiliciumsalze in Form von Hydraten in an sich bekannter Weise zur Ausscheidung gebracht werden. Diese so erhaltenen Salze sind sehr gut kristallisierende Verbindungen. Salze, die i Atom Alkalimetall auf i Siliciumatom aufweisen, sind als cyclische Siloxansalze anzusprechen, bei denen jedes Siliciumatom i organischen Rest und i Sauerstoffatom enthält, das an i Alkalimetall gebunden ist. Salze, die 2 Atome Alkalimetall auf i Atom Silicium enthalten, stellen Disiloxane dar, bei denen jedes Siliciumatom i organischen Rest und 2 Sauerstoffatome trägt, von denen jedes wiederum an i Alkalimetall gebunden ist. Salze mit einem Alkalimetall-Silicium-Verhältnis von 3 : i sind einfache Silansalze, bei denen das Siliciumatom i organischen Rest und 3 Sauerstoffatome enthält, von denen jedes an i Alkalimetall gebunden ist. Mischungen dieser Salzarten werden gewonnen, wenn das Alkalimetallhydroxyd in entsprechenden dazwischenliegenden Verhältnissen verwendet wird.Process for the catalytic polymerization of cyclic diorganosilanes The patent 874 go6 relates to a process for the preparation of organosilicon salts containing water of crystallization. According to this process, hydrolysis products of compounds of the formula RSiX3, in which R is a methyl, ethyl or phenyl radical and X is halogen or an alkoxy radical, with alkali metal hydroxide in a ratio of i: 3 alkali metal atoms to i silicon atom in the presence of 0.5 to q. Mol of water on : [ atom of alkali metal and brought to reaction in the presence of an amount sufficient to dissolve the reactants of an alcohol boiling below 100 °. The organosilicon salts contained in this reaction mixture can be precipitated in the form of hydrates in a manner known per se. The salts obtained in this way are compounds which crystallize very well. Salts which have i atom of alkali metal on i silicon atom are to be addressed as cyclic siloxane salts in which each silicon atom contains i organic radical and i oxygen atom bonded to i alkali metal. Salts which contain 2 atoms of alkali metal on 1 atom of silicon are disiloxanes in which each silicon atom bears i organic radicals and 2 oxygen atoms, each of which in turn is bonded to i alkali metal. Salts with an alkali metal to silicon ratio of 3: i are simple silane salts in which the silicon atom contains i an organic radical and 3 oxygen atoms, each of which is bonded to i alkali metal. Mixtures of these types of salt are obtained when the alkali metal hydroxide is used in appropriate intermediate proportions.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß diese wasserhaltigen Organosiliciumsalze sich ausgezeichnet für die Herstellung von hochmolekularen Siloxanen eignen.It has now been found that these hydrous organosilicon salts are ideal for the production of high molecular weight siloxanes.

Sie können als alkalische Katalysatoren zur Polymerisation von Diorganosiloxanen verwendet werden. Auf Grund ihrer leichten Löslichkeit in Siloxanen, wie z. B. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxan, sind sie dafür besonders geeignet. Das Verhältnis von Alkalimetall zu den Monoorganosiloxaneinheiten in dem Salz, das in die zu polymerisierenden Siloxane eingeführt werden soll, kann durch Änderung des Verhältnisses von Alkalimetall zu Silicium in dem Salz leicht eingestellt werden.They can be used as alkaline catalysts for the polymerization of diorganosiloxanes be used. Due to their ready solubility in siloxanes, such as. B. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, they are particularly suitable for this. The ratio of alkali metal to monoorganosiloxane units in the salt to be introduced into the siloxanes to be polymerized easily by changing the ratio of alkali metal to silicon in the salt can be set.

Für die katalytische Polymerisation eines Siloxans, bei dem das durchschnittliche Molekulargewicht geringer ist, als das Äquivalent auf 25 Organosiloxaneinheiten beträgt, wird das Salz in einer Menge von weniger als z Alkalimetallatom auf 50 Siliciumatome verwendet. Zur Neutralisierung des Alkalis in dem so erzeugten polymeren Stoff und zu seiner Stabilisierung ist es nur erforderlich, ein Organosiliconhalogenid, wie Trimethylchlorsilan, in einem Verhältnis von mindestens einem Äquivalent auf das vorhandene Alkali zu verwenden.For the catalytic polymerization of a siloxane in which the average molecular weight is less than the equivalent per 25 organosiloxane units, the salt is used in an amount of less than z alkali metal atoms per 50 silicon atoms. To neutralize the alkali in the polymeric substance thus produced and to stabilize it, it is only necessary to use an organosilicon halide, such as trimethylchlorosilane, in a ratio of at least one equivalent to the alkali present.

Beispiel Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxan wird 24 Stunden bei 77° mit einer solchen Menge der folgenden Organosiliciumsalze polymerisiert, daß jeweils ein Molverhältnis Silicium: Natrium von ioo : i vorliegt. Man erhält dabei mit den verschiedenen Katalysatoren die folgenden Ergebnisse: Katalysator Ergebnis C H3 Si (0 Na), . 7,5 H2 0 elastisches, unlösliches Gel C H3 Si (0 Na), . 1,5 H2 0 lösliches Hochpolymer (C H3)2Si(ONa)2 # q. H20 lösliches Hochpolymer C2H5 Si0 O Na elastisches Gel Example Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane is polymerized for 24 hours at 77 ° with such an amount of the following organosilicon salts that a silicon: sodium molar ratio of 100: 1 is present in each case. The following results are obtained with the various catalysts: Catalyst result C H3 Si (0 Na),. 7.5 H2 0 elastic, insoluble gel C H3 Si (0 Na),. 1.5 H2 0 soluble high polymer (C H3) 2Si (ONa) 2 # q. H20 soluble high polymer C2H5 Si0 O Na elastic gel
