Abstract

The present invention relates to organic peroxide compositions containing a cyclic compound-dicarbonyl or alpha-diketone, to retard the decomposition rate of the peroxy compound

Description

STABILIZATION OF ORGANIC PEROXIDE WITH COMPOSITIONS OF β-DICARBONYL OR α-DICETONE CYCLIC The present invention relates to organic peroxide compositions and more specifically to peroxydicarbonate and diacyl peroxide compositions, wherein a β-dicarbonyl compound or a cyclic α-diketone compound It has been added to retard the decomposition rate of the peroxide compound. Organic peroxides such as peroxydicarbonates and diacylperoxides are useful as free radical initiators in the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers. For example, organic peroxides are employed as initiators in the polymerization of vinyl halides, such as vinyl chloride or vinyl bromide; vinylidene halides such as vinylidene chloride; and other compounds containing polymerizable unsaturated units. The products of this well-known polymerization process have extensive commercial applications. The polymerization of vinyl halides or the copolymerization of vinyl halides with vinylidene halides is usually carried out in an aqueous medium, ie emulsion, solution or suspension polymerization. In these polymerizations, the monomer or monomer mixture is dispersed in water in the presence of a surfactant and subsequently the polymerization is initiated with an organic peroxide. This is a well-known reaction that has been widely reported. All organic peroxides are by nature harmful materials. Its usefulness depends on its ability to decompose into free radicals, illustrated by the following reaction: RO-OR '? RO * + R'O * The speed of this decomposition reaction at any given temperature depends on the structure of R and R '. The decomposition reaction is exothermic. If exothermic decomposition were to occur during production, storage or seizure, when the peroxides are in a concentrated form, excessive pressure development and / or fire or explosion may result. Consequently, many organic peroxides must be kept refrigerated. There have been several reports in recent years of the retardation of the decomposition rate of organic peroxides. The Journal of the American Chemical Sosiety (Journal of the American Chemical Society), Volume 72, pages 1254 to 1263 (1950), describes for example the use of ethyl acetoacetate, iodine, trinitrobenzene, acetanilide, nitro ethane, phenol, peroxide of hydrogen and tetralin, to retard the decomposition rate of diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate.
The patent of the U.S.A. No. 4,515,929 (1935) reports aqueous dispersions of organic peroxides including peroxy dicarbonates, which are stabilized against decomposition by the addition of diphenyl peroxydicarbonate or di (substituted alkyl) phenyl peroxydicarbonates. The patent of the U.S.A. No. 4,552,682 (1985) describes the use of phenolic antioxidants to retard the rate of degradation of aqueous organic peroxide dispersions. The use of phenolic antioxidants is undesirable because they result in discoloration. The patent of the U.S.A. No. 5,155,192 (1992) describes the use of organic hydroperoxides, for example terbutyl hydroperoxide, to retard the decomposition rate of peroxy dicarbonates. Research Disclosure, April 1995, on page 275, reports the thermal stabilization of dialkyl peroxydicarbonates, using unsaturated nitriles or unsaturated acetylenic compounds. The present invention relates to the use of certain non-peroxide compounds, which are effective to retard the decomposition of organic peroxides such as peroxydicarbonates and diacyl peroxides. Thus, one aspect of the present invention is a composition containing an organic peroxide compound selected from the group consisting of peroxydicarbonate and diacyl peroxide compounds and at least one cyclic alpha-diketone or β-dicarbonyl compound that slows down of peroxide decomposition.

The peroxydicarbonate compounds and diacyl peroxide compounds can be synthesized by conventional family techniques to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Peroxydicarbonates are typically prepared by reacting the corresponding alkyl chloroformate with aqueous sodium peroxide at low temperatures, 0 to 20 ° C. See U.S. Pat. No. 2,370,588 and the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Volume 72, page 1254 (1950). Diacyl peroxides are typically made from acid chlorides using synthetic techniques familiar to a person with ordinary skill in the art. Preferably, the peroxydicarbonates and diacyl peroxides with which this invention is useful include those which are liquids a? "C and most preferably a liquid at -5 ° C. Peroxydicarbonates and diacyl peroxides which are liquids haeta -20 ° are further preferred. C. The present invention is especially applicable to aqueous dispersions of peroxydicarbonates and diacyl peroxides which are useful as initiators in the polymerization of free radicals of ethylenically unsaturated materials, particularly in an aqueous medium, for example emulsion or suspension polymerization. it is prepared by dispersing it in water with a suitable dispersing aid, for example a surfactant or emulsifying agent Surfactants and emulsifying agents useful in the formulation of these dispersions are well known in the art and are quite numerous. present invention, the ß-dic compound arbonyl or the cyclic α-diketone compound or its solution can be added to the peroxide dispersion already formed, or to the water containing the surfactant or the peroxide before the dispersion is formed. Dispersions of the present invention generally contain from 20 to 70% by weight, preferably 30 to 60% by weight of the peroxydicarbonate or diacyl peroxide compound and 0.2 to 5% (by weight of peroxide) of the β-dicarbonyl or cyclic α-diketone . The manner of preparation of the peroxide dispersions is known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. A description of the peroxydicarbonate dispersions and their preparation can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,515,929; the U.S. Patent No. 3,825,509; the U.S. Patent No. 3,988,261 and the U.S. Patent. No. 4,092,470. The peroxide compositions of the present invention can also be prepared as physical mixtures in the form of liquids, granules, powders or flakes. A physical mixture according to the present invention can be prepared by mixing a liquid peroxide compound or a solution of a peroxide in a convenient solvent, with the desired amount of cyclic β-dicarbonyl or α-diketone in a conventional mixing apparatus. The resulting mixture is then granulated, pulverized or flaked if desired. The cyclic β-dicarbonyl or α-diketone may be added either (1) to the reaction mixture containing chloroformate or acid chloride prior to preparation of the peroxide compound or (2) to the unprocessed reaction mixture immediately after preparation of the peroxide compound. Either (1) or (2) will ensure that the two components are mixed as homogeneously as possible in order to receive the greatest possible benefit from the stabilizing effect of cyclic β-dicarbonyl or a-diketone. A solution of the present invention can be prepared by combining the desired amounts of the cyclic β-dicarbonyl compound or α-diketone or its solution and peroxide in a convenient solvent.
Suitable organic solvents include those normally employed for peroxydicarbonates or diacyl peroxides such as esters of phthalic acid, an example of which is dibutyl phthalate and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures of these hydrocarbons, examples of which are hexane, odorless mineral spirits, oils minerals, benzene, toluene, xylene, and (iso) paraffins such as isododecane. Other suitable solvents will be familiar to a person with ordinary skill in the art. Solutions according to the present invention preferably contain at least 10% and more preferably at least 25% by weight of a peroxydicarbonate or diacylperoxide compound. The peroxide compositions of the present invention exhibit numerous significant advantages. Mainly among these is improved thermal stability, both in response to exposure to raise the temperature and in response to a certain constant temperature. The thermal stability of self-reactive substances, in response to elevated temperatures, can be determined by measuring the SADT self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT - self accelerating deco position temperature). SADT is one of the recognized tests to determine the safe storage and transport of materials such as organic peroxides. [Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods (Reccomendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods), ninth edition, United Nations (United Nations), NY 1995, Section 11.3.5 page 264]. SADT can be correlated directly with the start temperature as measured in a differential thermal analyzer (DTA). The start temperature is the point at which uncontrolled thermal decomposition begins. The start temperature can be measured by determining the point at which the rate of temperature increase in a closed cell exceeds a certain pre-determined value. In addition, the start temperature can be measured by determining the point at which the rate of pressure increase in the closed cell exceeds a certain predetermined value. The thermal stability in response to a given constant temperature can be estimated by accelerated aging tests for example at 15 ° C. The cyclic α-dicarbonyl and α-diketone compounds of the present invention increase the start temperature of both peroxydicarbonates and diacylperoxides. Also, the β-dicarbonyl and cyclic α-diketone compounds do not impair the effectiveness of the peroxide as a polymerization initiator. The following examples are intended to illustrate the claimed invention and are in no way designed to limit its scope. Numerous additional embodiments within the scope and spirit of the claimed invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. EXAMPLE 1 The start temperature is measured and compared for samples of pure di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate, and samples of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in the presence of each of several different β-dicarbonyl compounds. The liquid mixtures were prepared by dissolving the required amount of β-dicarbonyl in the peroxy di-carbonate. Using a type of Differential Thermal Analyzer (Radex Solo Thermal Analyzer, distributed on the market by Astra Scientific International, Pleasanton, CA.), with an isothermal retention temperature of 30'c for 15 minutes and then a temperature increase of 1" / minute at 130 ° C, the start temperature is measured for a sample of one gram of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in a closed cell.The start temperature is measured both by noticing the point where the rate of increase (? T) of the sample temperature reached 0.2 ° C / minute and also the point where the rate of increase in pressure (ΔP) of the closed sample cell reached 0.0703 Kg / c 2 (1.0 psi) / minute. is the difference between the oven temperature and the sample temperature: P is the difference between a precalibrated reference pressure and the pressure developed in the sealed sample cell.The procedure is repeated with separate samples of the di-carbonate peroxide ior which in turn contains eti1-2-cyclohexanone carboxylate, 2-acetyl ciciohexanone, 2-acetyl cyclopentanone and 2,4-pentanedione. The results are illustrated in Table I. Results obtained with ethyl acetoacetate, which is described in the prior art, are included for comparison. The results show that the presence of a β-dicarbonyl compound according to the present invention increases the temperature at which the self-accelerating decomposition of peroxy dicarbonate will begin. This shows that the β-dicarbonyl compound is an effective stabilizer and is superior to ethyl acetoacetate. The results also show that the effect depends on the concentration, with the decomposition beginning at higher temperature when more ß-dicarbonyl compound is present.

The liquid mixtures were prepared by dissolving the indicated amount of β-dicarbonyl compound in the peroxy dicarbonate solution. Using the same apparatus and method as described in Example 1, the start temperature for a sample of 1 gram of 82.5% di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate diluted in OMS is measured. The procedure is repeated with separate samples of the above solution to which ethyl-2-cyclohexanone carboxylate, 2-acetyl cyclohexanone, 2-acetylcyclopentanone, methyl-2-cycloheptanone carboxylate, ethyl-2-oxocyclopentane carboxylate, dibenzoyl methane and ethyl-4-methyl-2-cyclohexanone-l-carboxylate. The results are illustrated in Table II. The results obtained with ethyl acetoacetate, which is described in the prior art, are included by comparison. As can be seen in Table II, the addition of a β-dicarbonyl compound according to the present invention increases the temperature at which the self-accelerating decomposition of peroxy dicarbonate will begin. The results also show that the effect is concentration dependent, with the decomposition of the peroxydicarbonate starting at a higher temperature when more ß-dicarbonyl compound is present.

The starting temperature is measured according to the procedure described in Example I.

A similar procedure was repeated with a mueetra of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in OMS and a sample of di-sec-butyl peroxydicarbonate in OMS. The results are illustrated in Tables IV-A and IV-B, respectively. The initial purity values were corrected for the presence of the additive.

The start temperature is measured and compared for samples of pure di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate, and sample of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in the presence of each of several different cyclic α-diketone compounds. Liquid mixtures were prepared by dissolving in the peroxy dicarbonate a sufficient amount of a solution of the α-diketone in propylene glycol, to provide the indicated amount of α-diketone. Using a type of Differential Thermal Analyzer (Radex Solo Thermal Analyzer, distributed by Astra Scientific International, Pleasanton, CA.), with an isothermal retention temperature of 30 * C for 15 minutes and then a temperature increase of 1"/ minute up to 130 * C, the start temperature is measured for a sample of one gram of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in a sealed cell.The start temperature is measured both by noticing the point where the rate of increase (? T) of the sample temperature reached 0.2 * C / minute and also the point where the rate of increase in pressure (? P) of the closed sample cell reaches 0.0703 Kg / cm2 (1.0 psi) / minute.? T is the difference between the oven temperature and the sample temperature: P is the difference between a precalibrated reference pressure and the pressure developed in the sealed sample cell.The procedure is repeated, with separate samples of the previous di-carbonate peroxide In turn, solve (in propylene glycol) 3-methyl-l, 2-cyclopentandione (MCDP), 3-ethyl-l, 2-cyclopentandione (ECDP), and 1,2-cyclohexanedione (CHD).
The results are shown in Table VII. Results obtained with ethyl ethoacetate described in the prior art are included for comparison. The results show that the presence of a compound according to the present invention increases the temperature at which the self-accelerating decomposition of peroxy dicarbonate will begin. This shows that the a-diketone cyclic compound is an effective stabilizer and is superior to ethyl acetoacetate. The results also show that the effect is dependent on concentration, with the composition starting at a higher temperature when more cyclic α-diketone compound is present.

EXAMPLE 8 Starting temperatures for the samples of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate diluted with odorless mineral spirits (WHO) and sample of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate diluted in OMS in the presence of several different cyclic α-diketone compounds were measured and they compared. The liquid mixtures were prepared by dissolving in the peroxy dicarbonate solution a sufficient amount of a solution of ECPD, MCPD or CHD in propylene glycol, to provide the indicated amount of the cyclic α-diketone compound.
Using the same apparatus and procedure as described in Example 7, the start temperature is measured for a sample of 1 gram of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate diluted in OMS. The procedure is repeated with samples separated from the previous solution to which a solution of the cyclic α-diketone has been added. The results are shown in Table VIII. The results obtained with ethyl acetoacetate, which is described in the prior art, are included by comparison. As can be seen in Table VIII, the addition of a cyclic α-diketone compound according to the present invention increases the temperature at which the self-accelerating decomposition of the peroxy dicarbonate solution will begin. The results also show that the effect is concentration dependent, with decomposition starting at a higher temperature when more cyclic α-diketone compound is present.

The starting temperatures were measured and compared for the samples of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate diluted in odorless inerale alcohols (OMS) and di-eec-butyl peroxydicarbonate mueetrae diluted in OMS in the presence of several different coe- cyclic diketone. The liquid mixtures were prepared by dissolving in the peroxy dicarbonate solution, a sufficient amount of a solution of ECPD, MCPD or CHD in propylene glycol, to provide the indicated amount of the α-diketone compound. The start temperature is measured according to the procedure described in Example 7. As can be seen in Table IX, the presence of a cyclic α-diketone compound according to the present invention increases the temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition of the peroxy dicarbonate solution will start. The results also show that the effect depends on the concentration, with the reaction beginning at a higher temperature when more cyclic α-diketone is present. The effect of ethyl acetoacetate is included for comparison.
