Abstract

Epoxy resins are obtained by reacting at least 2 mols of a conjugated diene (which may be cyclic or chlorinated) with 1 mol of an aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of boron trifluoride or a complex thereof, epoxidising the ethylenically unsaturated aromatic compound obtained and curing, e.g. with phthalic anhydride. In the Examples (1) benzene is reacted with butadiene to yield a product believed to contain compounds of the formula: <FORM:0885872/IV (a)/1> which is epoxidized with peracetic acid and cured with 0,85 mol of phthalic anhydride per epoxide equivalent for 6 hours at 120 DEG C. and 15 hours at 160 DEG C., (2) toluene is reacted with butadiene to yield a product comprising mono- and dibutenyl toluenes and compounds believed to be of the formula <FORM:0885872/IV (a)/2> which is epoxidized and can be similarly cured.ALSO:The reaction of a conjugated diene with an aromatic hydrocarbon to yield an olefinically unsaturated product is effected with a mol ratio of diene to aromatic hydrocarbon of at least 2:1 in the presence of boron trifluoride or a complex thereof. The aromatic hydrocarbon may be benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, alkylated naphthalene, diphenyl, diphenyl methane or anthracene and the diene butadiene, isoprene, piperylene, 2-methylpentadiene-1,3, pentadiene-1,3, cyclopentadiene, methyl-cyclopentadiene, hexadiene-1,3,1-chloro-2-methyl-butadiene-1,3 or chloroprene, the ratio of diene to aromatic being 2-8:1. The temperature may be 0 DEG C.-30 DEG C. In the examples (1) benzene is reacted with butadiene the main product of which is believed to be of the formula <FORM:0885872/IV (b)/1> (2) toluene is reacted with butadiene which is believed to result in <FORM:0885872/IV (b)/2> as well as mono- and di-butenyl toluenes. Epoxides of the products of the above process are obtained by oxidation, e.g. with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic acid or with peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid or monoperphthalic acid, preferably in the presence of chloroform, ethyl ether, methlene chloride, benzene or ethyl acetate as solvent at -20 DEG C. to 100 DEG C. The product of example (1) is epoxidised with 1.3 mols of peracetic acid for every equivalent of double bonds in the product and the product of example (2) is epoxidised with formic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
