Abstract

The subject matter is a process for the preparation of blocked polyisocyanates by reacting polyisocyanates with optionally substituted imidazolines at 0-150 ° C. The polyisocyanates can be subjected to chain expansion, such as water, polyols or polyamines, before the reaction is carried out to increase the molecular size. A further stand are the new polyisocyanates blocked with imidazolines, especially those based on isophorone diisocyanate.

Description

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of new compounds with a high latent isocyanate content and to the compounds obtainable by this process. conditions and their use.

The production of masked isocyanates, also called isocyanate releasers, is known and is described in Houben-Weyl, Methods of Organic Chemistry XIV / 2 pp. 61-70. Tertiary alcohols, phenols, acetoacetic esters, malonic esters, acetylacetone, phthalimide, imidazole, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide and ε-caprolactam are known as blocking agents. In practice, the use of monophenols and e-caprolactam is preferred for this purpose.

These blocked isocyanates have the property of reacting like isocyanates at elevated temperature. The more acidic the H atom of the masking group is, the easier it is to split off. Such blocked isocyanates are described in DT-OS 21 66 423. Terminally blocked isocyanates which additionally contain uretdione groups have also been described in DT-OS 25 02 934.

The most significant disadvantage of using these blocking agents for a number of applications is the relatively high elimination temperature, which for most phenols is at least 190 ° C. for aliphatic polyisocyanates and approx. 30 ° C. lower for aromatic polyisocyanates. For this reason it has been proposed in the past to use thiophenols for which this temperature is much lower. The disadvantage of thiophenols, however, is their unusual, unpleasant smell.

It has also been suggested to add 1-2 percent of a catalyst that could reduce the cleavage temperature down to 125-140 ° C. In this way, however, the service life of the uncured coating material is influenced more unfavorably. The splitting temperature of aliphatic ε-caprolactam-blocked polyisocyanates is generally around 180 ° to 190 ° C.

einsetzt, worin R gleiche oder verschiedene Substituenten aus der Gruppe Wasserstoff, Alkyl-, Cycloalkyl-, Aralkyl-und Arylrest sein können und die Umsetzung bei Temperaturen von 0 - 150 °C, vorzugsweise 80 - 120 °C erfolgt.Surprisingly, it has now been found that it is entirely possible to produce blocked polyisocyanates in a simple manner, which block at a temperature which is at least 20-30 ° C. lower than the isocyanates blocked with the conventional blocking agents, if the process for the preparation of blocked polyisocyanates is carried out Reaction of polyisocyanates with N-containing cyclic compounds is carried out in such a way that cyclic amidines of the general formula are used as N-containing cyclic compounds

uses, in which R can be identical or different substituents from the group hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and aryl radical and the reaction takes place at temperatures of 0-150 ° C, preferably 80-120 ° C.

The polyisocyanates and the cyclic amidines are used in amounts such that 0.5 to 1.1, preferably 0.8 to 1.0 mol of cyclic amidine are added to an isocyanate group.

The reaction can be carried out either in solvents, in the melt or in excess polyisocyanate.

Suitable starting compounds which can be used for blocking with the cyclic amidines are, for example, polyisocyanates, in particular diisocyanates, such as aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, aryl-substituted aliphatic and / or aromatic diisocyanates, as described, for example, in Houben-Weyl, methods of organic chemistry, Volume 14/2, pp. 61-70 and the article by W. Siefken in Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie 562, 75-136, such as 1,2-ethylene diisocyanate, 1,4-tetramethylene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,2,4- or 2,4,4-trimethyl-1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (TMDI), 1,12-dodecane diisocyanate, ω, ω'-diisocyanatodipropyl ether, cyclobutane-1,3-diisocyanate, cyclohexane-1, 3- and 1,4-diisocyanate, 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, which is also called isophorone diisocyanate and is abbreviated IPDI, decahydro-8-methyl- (1,4-methano-naphthalene-2 (or 3) 5-ylenedimethylene diisocyanate, decahydro-4,7-methano- indan-1 (or 2) 5 (or 6) ylenedimethylene diisocyanate, hexahydro-4-7-methanindan-1- (or 2) 5 (or 6) -ylene diisocyanate, hexahydro-1,3- or or - 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4- and 2,6-hexahydrotoluenediisocyanate, perhydro-2,4'- and / or -4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, ω, ω'-diisocyanato-1 , 4-diethylbenzene, 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyanato-diphenyl, 4,4 ^{1-diisocyanato-3,3'-dichloro-diphenyl,} 4,4'-diisocyanato-3,3'-dimethoxy- diphenyl, 4,4'-diisocyanato-3,3'-dimethyl-diphenyl, 4,4'-diisocyanato-3,3'-diphenyl-diphenyl, 4,4'-diisocyanato-diphenylmethane, naphthylene-1,5-diisocyanate , Tolylene diisocyanates, tolylene-2,4- or 2,6-diisocyanate, N, N '- (4,4'-dimethyl-3,3'-diisocyanatodiphenyl) uretdione, m-xylylene diisocyanate, but also the triisocyanates such as 2,4,4'-triisocyanatodiphenyl ether, 4,4 ', 4 "-triisocyanatotriphenylmethane, tris (4-isocyanatophenyl) thiophosphate, and any mixtures of these isomers. Further suitable isocyanates are mentioned in the article cited in the annals Page 122 f.

As a rule, particularly preferred are the technically easily accessible aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic diisocyanates and especially 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohexyl isocyanate and 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate and their isomeric mixtures.

In addition to the monomeric polyisocyanates, the dimeric and trimeric forms of the polyisocyanates, such as uretdiones and isocyanurates, which can be prepared by known methods, can of course also be used as starting materials for blocking with the imidazolines described in detail below.

For the purposes of the present invention, polyisocyanates are also understood to mean those which, prior to blocking with the imidazolines, are used for a reaction to increase the molecular size using what are known in isocyanate chemistry called chain extenders, such as Nasser, polyols, polyamines, among others, have been subjected, the bifunctional or trifunctional chain extender, that is to say those having groups which are reactive toward isocyanate groups, such as hydroxyl and / or amino groups, being used in amounts such that the resultant new isocyanate carries an average of at least 2 isocyanate groups. When water is used as a chain extender, polyisocyanates with one or more urea groups result.

Suitable polyols include diols and triols, e.g. Ethylene glycol, propylene glycols such as 1,2- and 1,3-propanediol, 2,2-dimethylpropanediol- (1,3), butanediols such as butanediol- (1,4), hexanediols e.g. Hexanediol- (1,6), 2,2,4-trimethylhexanediol- (1,6), 2,4,4-trimethylhexanediol- (1,6), heptanediol- (1,7), octadecene-9,10- diol (1.12), thiodiglycol, octadecanediol (1.18), 2,4-dimethyl-2-propylheptanediol (1.3) butene or butynediol (1.4), diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, trans and cis-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanediols, glycerin, hexanetriol- (1,2,6), 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane, 1,1,1-trimethylolethane and others Mixtures of the aforementioned compounds can also be used.

Of the polyamines suitable for chain extension or molecular enlargement, for example, ethylenediamine. 1,2, 1,2-1,3 and 1,3-propylenediamine, 1,2-1,3 and 1,4-butylenediamine and the hexamethylenediamines, which may be one or more C ₁ -C ₄ radicals.

The reaction of the polyisocyanates before blocking with the chain extenders mentioned in the stated proportions can be carried out at temperatures in the range from 0 to 150 ° C., preferably 80 to 120 ° C.

Suitable imidazoline derivatives within the meaning of the present invention which correspond to the general formula described earlier are, for example, those with optionally aryl-substituted alkyl radicals, with optionally alkyl-substituted aryl radicals, such as 2-methylimidazoline, 2,4-dimethylimidazoline, 2-methyl-4- ( n-butyl) imidazoline, 2-ethylimidazoline, 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazoline, 2-benzylimidazoline, 2-phenylimidazoline, 2-phenyl-4- (N-morpholinylmethyl) imidazoline, 2- (o- Tolyl) imidazoline, 2- (p-tolyl) imidazoline, etc. Mixtures of the imidazoline derivatives can also be used according to the invention. This is particularly useful when blocked isocyanates with low melting points or ranges are required.

The imidazoline derivatives which can be used according to the invention can be prepared by known processes from optionally substituted geminal diamines and aliphatic or aromatic mononitriles in the presence of elemental sulfur or sulfuryl chloride as a catalyst.

Die Blockierung kann, wie bereits erwähnt, auch in Lösungsmitteln durchgeführt werden. Als Lösungsmittel für diese Reaktion kommen nur solche infrage, die mit den Polyisocyanaten nicht reagieren, beispielsweise Ketone, wie Aceton, Methyläthylketon, Methylisobutylketon, Cyclopantanon, Cyclohexanon u.a Aromaten, wie Benzol, Toluol, Xylole, Chlorbenzol, Nitrobensol u.a.; cyclische Äther, wie Tetrahydrofuran, Dioxan u.a.; Estir, wie Methylacetat, n-Butylacetat u.a.; aliphatische Chlorkohlenwasserstoffe, wie Chloroform, Tetrachlorkohlenstoff u.a.; sowie aprotonische Lösungsmittel, wie Dimethylformamid, Dimethyl- acetamid, Dimethylsulfoxid usw.Perhaps the fact that cyclic amidines have not yet been described as blocking agents for NCO groups is that it could not be expected from the outset that cyclic amidines would react in such a smooth form with the NCO groups to form urea groups, as is known C = N- in the cyclic amines react with NCO groups to form a triazine ring:

As already mentioned, the blocking can also be carried out in solvents. Suitable solvents for this reaction are only those which do not react with the polyisocyanates, for example ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclopantanone, cyclohexanone and others, aromatics such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene and others; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and others; Estir such as methyl acetate, n-butyl acetate and others; aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and others; and aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.

If the blocking agent is used in the ratio of ≧ 1 to the number of isocyanate groups, the reaction mixtures are kept at the stated temperatures until the N (!) Content of the reaction mixture has dropped to values below 0.2% NCO, otherwise until to achieve a constant NCO value.

vorzugsweise 80 - 120 °C, jedoch unterhalb der Deblockiert ngstemperatur des blockierten Polyisocyanats. Durch diese Verfahrensvariante läßt sich die Produktpalette der blockierten Polyisocyanate in sehr weiten Grenzen den praktischen

anpassen. Diese Verfahrensvariante ist besonders von Interesse für Polyisocyanata mit unterschiedlich reaktiven NCO-Gruppen, d.h. asymmetrischen Polyisocyanaten.Another object of the present invention is the subsequent reaction of a group of blocked polyisocyanates, namely those in which cyclic amidines have been used in substoichiometric amounts, ie the ratio of cyclic amidine to isocyanate groups was <1: 1, with the like chain extenders, which have previously been described as agents for molecular enlargement. The reaction also takes place at temperatures in the range from 0 -

preferably 80-120 ° C, but below the deblocked temperature of the blocked polyisocyanate. This process variant allows the range of blocked polyisocyanates to be very practical

to adjust. This process variant is of particular interest for polyisocyanates with differently reactive NCO groups, ie asymmetric polyisocyanates.

By changing the order of adduct formation / blocking, blocked polyisocyanates with different reactivity, melting range and structure can be obtained.

The invention also relates to the adducts obtainable by the processes described. These are generally compounds of the molecular weight range from 300-2500, preferably from 300-1000. The process products have a melting range in the temperature range from 30-220 ° C., preferably 80-160 ° C. The polyisocyanates blocked with the cyclic amidines are further characterized by a content of isocyanate groups present in blocked form (calculated as NCO) of 4-25% by weight, preferably 10-21% by weight.

The compounds of the invention described above are particularly suitable because of their melting points and at the same time higher molecular weights as catalysts for the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam. The compounds can also be used to produce wire enamels.
