Description
(54) 5-NORBORENE-2-METHYL PHOSPHITES AND
PHOSPHATE AND THEIR USE AS POLYMER ANTIQZONANTS
(71) We, E. I. DU PONT DE
NEMOURS AND COMPANY, a corporation organised and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, located at Wilmington.
State of Delaware, 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 certain phosphite and phosphate esters of 5-norbornene-2-methanol and to their use as antiozonants and/or flex resistance aids in various polymers and polymer blends.
Elastomeric chloroprene polymer vulcanizates are quite resistant to ozone at normal temperature but are more readily degraded at elevated temperatures, especially when flexed or stretched. Other polymer vulcanizates are less resistant to ozone than chloroprene polymer vulcanizates. Various anti-ozonants are commercially available and usually are incorporated in such polymer formulations.
While many such additives provide a good degree of protection against ozone deterioration, certain commercial antiozonants cause prematare curing of polymer stocks, while most cause discoloration or staining of the polymer vulcanizates. There presently appears to be only one nonstaining antiozonant commercially available.
We have now found a new class of phosphites and phosphates of 5-norbornene-2methanol which are very good antiozonants in chloroprene polymers. Mixtures of such esters are also effective antiozonants.
Thus according to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a composition comprising bis(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphite, tris(3 - norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphite, tris(5- norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphate and 5 - norbornene - 2 - methanol.
As stated above the individual component ester compounds of the above composition according to the invention also possess an antiozonant property so that according to further aspects of the persent invention there are provided
bis(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphite;
tris(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphite; and tris(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl)phosphate.
The above new esters and the composition containing them according to the invention are useful in the formulation of vulcanizable polymer compositions.
Thus according to a still further aspect of the present invention there are provided vulcanisable compositions comprising at least one polymer selected from
A. chloroprene homopolymers;
B. chloroprene/sulfur copolymers;
C. chlorinated isobutylene/isoprene co
polymers; and
D. a blend of any of the above polymers
A to C with one or more styrene/
butadiene copolymers or with natural
rubber, the proportion of the poly
mer A, B or C being at least 50
weight percent of the blend; wherein 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the polymer or polymer blend, of at least one of the above compounds or composition according to the invention are incorporated into the polymer or polymer blend.
Vulcanised polymers having an improved ozone resistance can be prepared by vulcanized tion of the vulcanizable composition according to the invention.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of a vulcanizable composition which comprises incorporating at least one compound or composition according to the invention into a polymer selected from
A. chloroprene homopolymers;
B. chloroprene/sulfur copolymers;
C. chlorinated isobutylene/isoprene copoly
mers; and
D. a blend of any of the above polymers
A to C with one or more styrene/
butadiene copolymers or with natural
rubber, the proportion of the polymer
A, B or C being at least 50 weight
percent of the blend; the proportion
of compound or composition incor
porated being from 0.5 to 5 parts
by weight per 100 parts of the poly
mer or polymer blend.
It has also been discovered that the same esters, used in the same amounts, improve the flex resistance of chloroprene copolymers with sulfur (B) and of their blends with either styrene/butadiene copolymers or natural rubber (D).
The S-norbomene-2-methyl radical can be represented by the following formula:
wherein CH groups are present in all positions except 3 and 7, and CH2 groups are present in positions 3 and 7.
The phosphate and phosphites of the present invention are rather difficult to isolate in their pure state regardless of the method by which they are made, a mixture of all three compounds, normally also containing some 5-nor- bornene-2-methanol, usually being obtained.
For the purpose of the present invention, a mixture of all three esters is satisfactory, and isolation and purification of each individual ester is not required. Any free 5-norbornene2-methanol present in the mixture is harmless. The relative proportion of each component of the mixture can be readily ascertained by known analytical techniques, especially by combining gas chromatography with mass spectrometry.
Depending on the particular technique used, the proportions of the various components of the product mixture will vary. Since, however, each of the esters in the mixture has antiozonant properties, it is not necessary for practical purposes to isolate any particular ester from the mixture. Usually, mixtures of bis(5 - norbornene - 2 methyl) phosphite, tris(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl) phosphite, tris(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl) phospate,
and S - norbornene - 2 - methanol containing about 30-70 weight percent of tris(5 - norbornene - 2 - methyl) phosphite are obtained by reaction of PCIs with S - norbomene - 2- methanol in the presence of a base. Those mixtures, especially those wherein the proportion of tris(5-norbornene-2-methyl) phosphite is at least 40 weight percent, are valuable antiozonants. Other synthetic methods yield different proportions of products. As the level of tris(5-norbornene-2-methyl) phosphite in the mixture increase, the total amount of the mixture required to produce satisfactory ozone resistance decreases. For the best ozone protection without undesirable changes in other properties of the polymers, at the most reasonable cost, it is preferred to use about 1-3 parts by weight of the ester or ester mixture per 100 parts by weight of polymer or polymer blend.
The homopolymers, copolymers, and polymer blends in which the antiozonants of this invention are used are well known in the art and either are commercially available or can be made or blended according to available patent literature or technical literature.
Normally, the phosphate and phosphites of the present invention will be added to standard vulcanization recipes of polymers Standard vulcanization recipes for the chloroprene polymer and the blends are described in Murray and Thompson, The Neoprenes, E. I. du
Pont de Nemours and Co., 1963, chapters
III and V. The recipes normally include metal oxides, reinforcing agents and fillers, antioxidants, vulcanization agents such as sulfur, retarders and accelerators and plasticizers. In recipes containing elemental sulfur, the level of sulfur preferably should not exceed about 4 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polymer because otherwise the antiozonant activity of the active ingredients is reduced.
However, the amount of sulfur usually is below this level. Incorporation of the antiozonants into the polymer can be conveniently accomplished by blending with the polymer and any other ingredients of the recipe on a rubber mill, in a Banbury mixer, or in any other suitable mixing equipment.
It is also possible to add these esters to chloroprene polymer latex prior to the isolation of polymer therefrom. The polymer ;s isolated by standard techniques, such as freeze
roll isolation followed by hot air drying.
The antiozonant effect of the compounds of this invention can be determined either in a static or in a dynamic test. Both tests expose cured elastomer samples to ozone in a test chamber at 40 C. For static exposures, samples of the vulcanizates, prepared as described in the following examples, 0.64 X 0.19 X 15.24 cm in dimension, mounted on varnished wooden racks, were subjected to the indicated tensile strains. The dynamic tests were carried
out by the "roller" method described in
Rubber Chemistry and Technology 32, 1119
(1959). The test pieces were flexed at a rate
of 30 cycles per minute. The number of hours required to produce a given degree of cracking was observed.
The DeMattia flex resistance was measured by ASTM Method 813-59 (1970).
The gas chromatographic analyses in the following examples were made using a Hewlett
Packard 5750 chromatograph, detector, and a lmv recorder. The 304-stainless steel column contained a silicone oil (OV-1, available from
Supelco, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania) partitioning liquid on a Chromsorb (registered Trade
Mark) W-HP [Celite (registered Trade Mark)
Div., Joluí-Manville Product Corp.] support.
The injection port was at 250 C, the detector at 3300 C, the carrier gas argon, and the column temperature was programmed from 900 C at 10 C/min. to 2500 C and hold.
The gas chromatograph was directly coupled to a mass spectrometer in such a manner that any chemical compound whose peak appeared
on the gas chromatogram could be swept directly into the ionization chamber of the mass spectrometer, where its molecular ion weight was determined. Either a Hewlett-Packard
G.C.-mass spectrometer Model 5981A or Du
Pont G.C.-mass spectremeter Model 491 with
chemical ionization source was used.
In the illustrative examples below, all parts
proportions, and percentages are by weight
unless otherwise indicated.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Example I.
Tris (5-Norbornene-2-methyl Phosphite Sodium metal (0.5 g) was dissolved at an elevated temperature in 1000 g of freshly distilled 5-norbornene-2-methanol under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was cooled to room temperature, and 686 g triphenylphosphite was added. The mixture was heated to 1000 C for 36 hours. Excess S-norbornene-2methanol and byproduct phenol were removed by vacuum distillation. The viscous off-white liquid residue (863.3 g) was added to 50 parts decolorizing carbon ["Norit" (registered
Trade Mark) A, product of American Norit
Co.] and stirred at room temperature for one hour. After removal of the carbon black by filtration under nitrogen, 811.2 g of a liquid were recovered. A 128.8 g portion of the liquid was distilled and the following three fractions collected:
Fraction 1: 18.6 g, b.p. 185199 C/0.3 0.68 mmHg.
Fraction II: 42.5 g, b.p. 194-1960 C/0.45- 0.60 mmHg.
Fraction III: 59.5 g, b.p. 195197 C/0.45-- 0.60 mmHg.
Gas chromatographic analyses determined that the fractions contained, respectively, 79, 81, and 83 area % tris(5-norbornene-2- methyl) phosphite.
Example II.
Polymer Additive I
Phosphorus trichloride (68.5 g) was dissolved in 100 ml petroleum ether and cooled with dry ice. A solution of S-norborene-2- methanol (186 g.) and pyridine (119 g.) dis
solved in 200 ml. petroleum ether was added dropwise with stirring to the PCls solution,
The addition was made at such a rate that the temperature of the exothermic reaction did not rise above 00 C. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour. Pyridine hydrochloride was removed by filtration and the filtrate dried over potassium carbonate. Solvent was stripped under reduced pressure. The residue, a yellowish liquid, had the following gas chromatographic analysis (area %):

5-norbomene-2-methanol was allowed to react at 800 C. for about 3 hours under a nitro gen atmosphere. The solution was cooled to about 50 C., and 686 g. triphenyl phosphite was added. After the addition, the mixture was heated at 100" C. for about 1S hours. Volatiles, consisting primarily of excess 5-norbornene-2-methanol and phenol, were removed under vacuum, and the resulting crude pro duct, 864.3., was treated with 54 g. activated charcoal. The purified product, 815.6 g., was shown by gas chromatography to have the following composition: 5-norbornene-2-methanol 5.8 area % bis (S -norbornene-2-methyl) phosphite 15.9 area tris(5-norbornene-2-methyl) phosphite 65.5 area % tris(5-norbornene-2-methyl)
phosphate 0.7 area %
Small additional peaks were observed but not identified.
Example V.
Polymer Additive IV
A mixture of 372 g. 5-norbornene-2-methanol and 303 g. triethylamine was slowly added with vigorous agitation to a solution of 206 g. phosphorus trichloride in 700 ml. benzene at O" C. The addition was made at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture did not exceed 20 C. The addition took 4 hours. The temperature of the reaction mixture was then raised to 250 C. and a further 193 g. 5-norbornene-2-methanol was added.
After about I6 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate extracted with 250 ml. water and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of volatiles, there was obtained 401.3 g. of product, which was vacuum distilled to give a fraction of b.p.
157160 C. (0.5 mm Hg). This fraction contained 8 area % S-norbomene-2-methanol and 91% bis(5-norbornene-2-methyl phosphite.
Example VI.
Polymer Additive V 5-Norbornene-2-methanol (186 g.), 130 g. pyridine, and 300 ml. benzene were added to a one-liter flask equipped with a reflux condenser protected by a calcium chloride drying tube, a mechanical stirrer, a dropping funnel, and a thermometer. The mixture was cooled to about 0 C. A solution of 76.5 g. phosphorus oxychloride in 50 ml. benezene was added dropwise with stirring over a period of 2 hours. The reaction mixture temperature was kept at 309 C. or less by external cooling.
After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at about 300 C. and then heated at reflux for 2 hours. After cooling, precipitated pyridine hydrochloride was removed bv filtration, and the precipitate washes wfth 50 ml. benzene. rile combined filtrate and washing were extracted twice with 250-ml. portions of cold water and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Solvent was removed under vacuum and the resulting product analyzed by gas chromatography.
