(54) HINDERED PHENOLS AND THEIR USE AS ANTI-OXIDANTS (71) We, FMC CORPORATION, a Corporation organised in the State of
Delaware, United States of America, of 2000 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19103,
United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement :- This invention relates to novel di-tertiary-butyl substituted phenols, or hindered phenols, which are highly effective antioxidants, and to processes for obtaining these phenols from reactions with a nitroalkaue.
Phenolic antioxidants are commonly employed as stabilizers for a wide variety of organic substrates including natural and synthetic rubber, petroleum products such as lubricants, synthetic organic functional fluids, and polymers and plastics such as polyolefins and polyvinyl chloride. These phenolic antioxidants are generally the hindered phenols, that is, phenols containing alkyl substituents, as exemplified by 2,6-di-t-butyl-áesol, the alkyl-p-amino phenols and 4,4'-butylidene bis (6-t- butyl-m-cresol).
Improved phenolic antioxidants are continually in demand, particularly improved
antioxidants which are effective under conditions of extended use or high tempera
tures, such as are encountered in petroleum oils and lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
plastics and rubber, where the volatility of conventionally employed lower molecular
weight materials is a disadvantage. It is an object of the present invention to pro
vide relatively high molecular weight improved hindered phenolic antioxidants with
a high degree of stabilizer activity.
Phenolic resins based on the reaction of phenol itself, formaldehyde and nitro
paraffins are known and are described, for example, in U. S. Patents 2,531,863
issued November 28,1950, and 2,760,951, issued August 28,1956. However, the
prior art fails to teach or suggest the novel compounds prepared in accordance with
the present invention, nor is there any disclosure of the advantage obtainable in
employing the nitroalkane based hindered phenol antioxidants as described herein.
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel hindered
phenolic compounds having the following general formulas:
where Er represents a 3,5-di-tertiarybutyl-4-hydroxybenzyl radical, each of Ri and R, represents hydrogen, a C, to C, alkyl radical or an Ar radical as described above, and
where Ar is as previously described and R3 represents a C, to C alkyl radical, or a methoxy or ethoxy substituted Cl to C4 alkvl radical.
The novel compounds of the present invention have a relatively low volatility and high molecular weight, when compared to conventional phenolic antioxidants.
The novel compounds of the present invention may be prepared by a number of suitable techniques. As described herein after, a nitroalkane may be reacted with formaldehyde and 2,6-di-t-butylphenol or a nitroalkane may be reacted with an intermediate, a 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hvdroxybenzyl N, N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate. A third technique is to condense a nitroalkane with a 4-alkoxymethyl-2, 6-di-t-butylpheno (. Nitro- methane, nitroethane and both 1-and 2-nitropropane are particularly preferred reactants.
Suitable but less preferable techniques also include condensation reactions between a nitroalkane and other substituted derivatives of 4-methyl-2,6-di-z-butylphenol, the substituent replacing one or more of the hydrogens in the 4-methyl group and being selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkylamino, hydroxy and thioalkyl.
The preferred techniques for preparing the compounds of the present invention are novel processes and, as such, constitute further embodiments of the present inven
tion. In a process according to the invention, a selected nitroalkane is reacted in the presence of a polar, water miscible organic solvent and, optionally, a basic catalyst at room temperature up to the reflux temperature of the organic solvent. The reaction mixture is refluxed in an inert atmosphere for a period of about 1 to 25 hours and, at the completion of the reaction and cooling of the reaction mixture, the product crystallizes. In one embodiment, 2 or 3 moles of 2,6-di-t-butylphenol and 2 or 3 moles of formaldehyde are condensed with 1 mole of a secondary nitroalkane to obtain compound (I) or a primary C2-C4 nitroalkane to obtain compound (II).
An altemate preferred procedure is first to prepare a 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzvl N, N-dialkyldithiocarbamate. This intermediate is known as described, for example, in U. S. Patents 3,260,756 and 3,260,758, both issued July 12,1966, as well as in U. S. Patent 3,117,947, issued January 14,1964. The dietliyldithiocarbamate is reacted with the desired nitroalkane in a molar ratio of 1 to 3 moles per mol of nitroalkane, the nitroalkane being nitromethane to obtain compound fI) and a primary C2C4 nitroalkarie being selected to produce compound II).
The third preferred procedure to produce compound (I) is to react a nitroalkane, such as nitromethane, with about 1 to 3 moles of a 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-lower-alkoxymethylphenol, wherein the alkoxy may have up to about 4 carbon atoms and preferably is methoxy or ethoxy. The reaction is preferably carried out at the reflux temperature of the solvent and the product is obtained in a form of solid crystals.
The compounds represented by Formula I are prepared by the reaction of nitromethane with either the described diethyldithiocarbamate or with a 2,6-di-t-butyl4-lower-alkoxymethylphenol, or by the reaction of a secondary nitroalkane, such as 2-nitropropane, with formaldehyde and 2,6-di-t-butylphenol.
The nitronates as represented by Formula II are prepared by the reaction of a primary nitroalkane, except nitromethane, with either formaldehyde and 2, 6-di-Z- butylphenol or with the diethyldithiocarbamate, or by the reaction of nitromethane with formaldehyde, an aliphatic (Ci-~3) alcohol and 2,6-di-t-butylphenol.
The reaction generally takes place in a temperature range from about 25 to 100 C. Suitable solvents include the lower alkanols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, as well as dimethyl sulphoxide, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and similar organic solvents. Methanol is particularly preferred. These reactions may be carried out in the presence of a basic catalyst such as an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or ammonium oxide, carbonate or hydroxide, particularly sodium or potassium hydroxide. The amount of base used may vary from very minor catalytic amounts up to equimolar amounts or amounts substantially in excess of equimolar amounts. Other
Bronsted bases are suitable. Exact amounts will depend on the particular reaction being employed. In some cases, the base may be functioning not only as a catalyst but also as a reactant. The use of molar excesses has not been found detrimental to the reaction technique and may be required in order to insure completion of the reaction. Generally speaking, about 1 to 150 by weight of the base catalyst, based on the weight of nitroalkane, may be employed. When the base is functioning only as a catalyst, the preferred quantity used is 2 to 10 ; y by weight, based on the weight of nitroalkane.
The novel compounds of the present invention are generally useful as antioxidants for stabilization of a wide variety of organic substrate materials, and are particularly suitable for use where service temperatures are relatively high or under other conditions wherein losses of more volatile antioxidants can occur. Thus, the novel compounds of the present invention may be used as stabilizers for natural rubber and synthetic rubbers such as polybutadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, polyisoprene rubber, neoprene rubber, buryl rubber, nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene rubbers. The compounds are also suitable for stabilization of polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, polymethylbutene, polypentene, and copolymers of these olefin monomers such as ethylenepropylene copolymers and polymers of other polymerizable liquid ethylenically unsaturated monomers. Other plastics and resins which may be stabilized employing the compounds of the present invention include polystyrene, polyacrylates, polycarbonates, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyamides, polyamines, polyacrylonitrile and similar polymers which are normally subject to oxidative deterioration.
Synthetic lubricants may also be stabilized and these include alkyl oxalates and malonates, as well as polyol esters such as pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane and sorbitol esters, alkyl esters of fatty acids such as lauric, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Other synthetic lubricants and fluids include the polysiloxane oils, fluorocarbon lubricants, polyalkylene glycol lubricants such as copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide as well as triaryl phosphate ester functional fluids and lubricants.
Petroleum derived oils, fluids and lubricants may also be stabilized employing the novel antioxidants of the present invention and these organic substrates include industrial oils, turbine oils, transmission fluids, transformer oils and mineral oils, as well as fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and kerosene.
The compounds of the present invention are particularly suitable for the stabilization of polyolefin polymers, particularly polypropylene, and for the stabilization of synthetic rubbers,
The compounds of the present invention are generally employed in amounts ranging from 0.001 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts of the organic materials being stabilized. Conventional techniques are employed to add the antioxidants to the organic substrate, such as mixing or milling or use of a mutual solvent.
The invention is further illustrated by the following Examples which should not be considered as limitative of its scope. The structure of all compounds was confirmed by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Temperatures reported are in degrees centigrade and percentages are by weight, unless otherwise stated.
