Definitions

  • the invention relates to a new process for functionalizing polymers prepared by carbocationic polymerization, and to new functionalized polymers, such as telechelic prepolymers .
  • Polymers having functional groups are useful as lube additives, compatibilisers, emulsifiers or as raw material for the production of adhesives, modifiers, coating material, sealing material and the like. Consequently, there has been a lively interest in functionalized polymers.
  • Carbocationic polymerization is one of the known routes for preparing functionalized polymers.
  • WO-A-94/13706 discloses a method for direct synthesis by living cationic polymerization of novel polymeric materials functionalized with nitrogen- containing functional groups. Polymerization and functionalization occur in a substantially simultaneous manner (e.g. in a one-step Friedel-Crafts reaction) .
  • section II.5.2 of the textbook "Designed Polymers by Carbocationic Macromolecular Engineering: Theory and Practice” the authors J.P. Kennedy and B. Ivan provide numerous examples with additional end-groups both in polyolefins and poly(alkyl vinyl ether) s, albeit typically in a two-step process. It will be understood that polymers prepared in a one-step carbocationic polymerization process having novel end-groups, with potential for further reactions, will be highly desired.
  • the process is particularly suitable when the one or more aromatic ring systems are selected from five-, six- or seven-atom heterocycles .
  • Such heterocycles will have one or more heteroatoms selected from N, 0, P and S and typically provide the necessary electron-rich environment required for the reaction, a Friedel-Crafts reaction, to occur.
  • the one or more aromatic ring systems are selected from six- ⁇ -electron ring systems .
  • Examples of particularly preferred aromatic ring systems include pyrrole, furan, thiophene, oxazole, isothiazole, 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole, and pyrazole.
  • aromatic ring systems may be substituted in part, provided the substituents neither sterically block the remaining reactive sites of the aromatic ring systems, nor deactivate the aromatic ring systems.
  • the substituents may be selected from amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, aminocarbonyl, alkyl or aryl groups, or halogen atoms.
  • the first mentioned substituents are the stronger activating groups.
  • Such substituents may be relatively large, e.g. in the case where the aromatic ring system acts as a coupling agent, the first substituent corresponds (on average) to half the molecular weight of the functionalized polymer.
  • suitable substituted aromatic ring systems include for instance 3, 3-dimethyl-3H-pyrazole and 2, 2-bithienyl .
  • the one or more aromatic ring systems may also be selected from (benzo-) fused ring systems, such as naphthalene, quinoline, quinoxaline, indole, the benzofurans, the benzothiophenes, pteridine, purine, indolizine and the like. Again, these one or more aromatic ring systems may be substituted in part with the same substituents mentioned above.
  • the one or more aromatic ring systems are selected from pyrrole, furan and thiophene and sub- stituted versions thereof.
  • the polymers thus prepared can be further functionalized through the well known and very extensive chemistry of the pyrrole, furan and thiophene structure.
  • An additional advantage of the use of thiophene or a substituted thiophene is the inherent anti-oxidant properties of the functionalized polymer. Note that, as used throughout this specification, the definition of living polymers coincides with that of WO-A-94/13706 and the textbook by Kennedy and Ivan mentioned above.
  • living carbocationic poly- merization systems comprise ideal living polymerizations, based on cationic initiation in which chain transfer and termination are absent and quasi living polymerizations in which rapidly reversible chain transfer and/or termination are present and the rate of these processes is faster than that of propagation.
  • systems wherein the rate of irreversible chain transfer and/or termination is zero or appears to be zero are ideal living polymerizations, based on cationic initiation in which chain transfer and termination are absent and quasi living polymerizations in which rapidly reversible chain transfer and/or termination are present and the rate of these processes is faster than that of propagation.
  • (living) carbo- cationic polymers are polymers formed by controlled initiation, i.e. by an initiator that is either mono- functional or polyfunctional, whereby the polymer chain will propagate at one end in one direction or from the centre in more directions.
  • nitrogen- containing compounds employed as initiator in O-A-94/13706 may be used, such as 2-azido-isopropyl- benzene or bis (2-azido-isopropyl) benzene in admixture with diethylaluminium chloride, TiCl4 or BCI3.
  • insoluble catalysts may be used, preferably homogeneous catalysts are used. It is common to use solvents in the polymerization process. Suitable solvents have a freezing point (well) below the preferred polymerization temperature. Illustrative solvents include, but are not limited to, C 2 to C]_Q alkanes, -alkenes, -alkylhalides and -alkenylhalides, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulphide, nitroethane, liquid carbon dioxide and methylcyclohexane . Mixed solvents can also be used.
  • the preferred solvents are the low-boiling alkylhalides: chloroform, methylene dichloride, methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, propyl chloride, n-butyl chloride, and 1, 2-dichloroethane; and neopentane, hexane, heptane and purified petroleum ether .
  • Any cationically polymerizable monomer may be used, including straight and branched chain alpha-olefins, isoolefins, alicyclic monoolefins, cycloaliphatic compounds, styrene derivatives, indene and derivatives, and other monoolefins and heterocyclic cationically polymerizable monomers identified in the text by Kennedy, "Cationic Polymerization of Olefins: A Critical Inventory”; pp. 39-53 (Wiley, 1975) . Vinyl ethers can also be used.
  • Particularly valuable polymers can be prepared from isoolefins of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof.
  • unsaturated hydrocarbons include, but are not restricted to, isobutene, 2-methyl- butene, 3-methyl-l-butene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, and beta- pinene .
  • Other cationically polymerizable monomers that may be employed include heterocyclic monomers such as oxazolines and others known to add on to polarized covalent bonds. Mixtures of cationically polymerizable monomers can be employed as feedstock to the polymerization zone if desired.
  • copolymers, terpolymers and higher interpolymers can be prepared by employing a mixture of two, three of more of the above monomers.
  • Preferred feedstocks to the polymerization zone comprise pure isobutene and mixed C4 hydrocarbon feedstocks containing isobutene, such as a C4 cut resulting from the thermal or catalytic cracking operation of, for example, naphtha.
  • Suitable isobutene feedstocks will typically contain at least 10%, and up to 100% isobutene by weight on the weight of the feed.
  • C4 cuts suitable for use as a feedstock typically will contain between 10 and 40% 1-butene, between 10 and 40% 2-butene, between 40 and 60% isobutane, between 4 and 10% n-butane, and up to about 0.5% butadiene, all percentages being by weight based on the feed weight.
  • Feedstocks containing isobutene may also contain other non-C4 polymerizable olefin monomers in minor amounts, e.g. typically less than 25%, preferably less than 10%, and most preferably less than 5%, such as propadiene, propylene and C5 olefins.
  • polyisobutene as employed herein is intended to include not only homopolymers of isobutene but also copolymers of isobutene and one or more other C4 polymerizable monomers of conventional C4 cuts as well as non-C ethylenically unsaturated olefin monomers containing typically from 3 to 6, and preferably from 3 to 5 carbon atoms, provided such copolymers contain typically at least 50%, preferably at least 65%, and most preferably at least 80% isobutene units, by weight, based on the polymer number average molecular weight (Mn) .
  • Mn polymer number average molecular weight
  • the polymerization medium is substantially free of poisons to the catalyst.
  • the olefin feed can be treated by use of mole sieves and subjected to caustic washing to remove, e.g. mercaptans, water, and dienes (if desired) .
  • the polymerization reaction may be conducted batchwise, or in a (semi ) continuous operation in which continuous streams of ingredients are delivered to the reactor and an overflow of a slurry or solution of polymer is taken out for the recovery of the polymer therefrom.
  • the preferred mode of reaction is on a continuous basis using a continuous flow stirred reactor wherein, in a controlled manner, feed is continuously introduced into the reactor and product is continuously removed from the reactor.
  • a batch process is preferred.
  • the amount of catalyst employed in the process of the present invention can be varied to achieve the target number average molecular weight of polymer. Varying the amounts may also minimize or reduce undesired isomerizations .
  • the catalyst amount also affects the conversion of the olefin monomer and yield of polymer, with higher amounts of catalyst typically achieving higher conversion and yields.
  • the catalyst should be employed in sufficient amount to enable the reaction to be a "living" cationic polymerization.
  • the polymerization reaction is conducted in the liquid phase to induce linear or chain type polymerization instead of ring or branch formation.
  • a feed which is gaseous under ambient conditions, it is preferred to control the reaction pressure and/or dissolve the feed in an inert solvent or liquid diluent, in order to maintain the feed in the liquid phase.
  • Typical C cuts used as feed are liquid under pressure and do not need a solvent or diluent.
  • the selected catalyst is a gas (e.g. BF3 and the like) the gaseous catalyst is typically partially or completely dissolved in a pressurized liquid after introduction in the reactor.
  • Polymerization pressures can range typically from 25 to 500, and preferably from 100 to 300 kPa .
  • the temperature at which the polymerizations are carried out is important, since temperatures that are too high tend to decrease the functionalization degree.
  • the usual polymerization temperature range is between -100 °C and +10 °C.
  • the polymerizations are performed at a temperature below -10 °C, preferably below -20 °C, and preferably between -80 °C and -20 °C, e.g. at a temperature of -50 °C.
  • the liquid phase reaction mixture temperature is controlled by conventional means.
  • the particular reaction temperature is selected to achieve the target living polymerization behaviour, and preferably is not allowed to vary more than + or - 5 °C from the selected value, while the catalyst and/or promoter feed rate is varied to achieve the desired Mn to compensate for variations in monomer distribution in the feed composition.
  • Average polymerization times, in minutes can vary from 10 to 120, preferably from 15 to 45, more preferably 15 to 30, and most preferably from 15 to 25.
  • the reaction which is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, will occur under the same conditions required to form the carbocationic polymerization system. These conditions will therefore be readily familiar to the persons skilled in this art. Besides, Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions are well-known and examples of suitable conditions and references to further examples may, for instance, be found in "Advanced Organic Chemistry" by J. March (section 1-13 of 3rd edition; Wiley, 1985) .
  • Typical conditions involve some form of temperature control to remove the heat of reaction, a solvent and a means to bring the reagents into contact (stirrer, etc . ) .
  • the materials used to quench the reaction are conventional and include the same materials commonly used as cationic polymerization promoters (e.g. moisture, alcohol) with the exception that excess quantities are employed in amounts sufficient to deactivate the catalyst.
  • any amount of quenching medium effective to deactivate the catalyst may be employed, it is contemplated that such effective amount be sufficient to achieve a molar ratio of quench medium to catalyst of typically from 1:1 to 100:1, preferably from 3:1 to 50:1, and most preferably from 10:1 to 30:1.
  • Quench is conducted by introducing the quench medium into the polymer product.
  • the polymer product is maintained under pressure during the quench sufficient to avoid vaporisation of any gaseous catalyst (if one is employed) and other components of the mixture.
  • the temperature of the quenching medium is not critical and e.g. can comprise room temperature or lower.
  • quench can be performed in the reactor or preferably on the product after it is withdrawn from the reactor. In a continuous system, the quench will typically be performed after product exits the reactor.
  • the polymerization product is typically subjected to conventional finishing steps that include a caustic/H 0 wash to extract catalyst residue, a hydrocarbon/aqueous phase separation step wherein deactivated and extracted catalyst is isolated in the aqueous phase, and a water washing step to remove residual amounts of neutralized catalyst.
  • the polymer is then typically stripped in a debutanizer to remove unreacted volatile monomers, followed by a further stripping procedure to remove light end polymer (e.g. C 2 4 carbon polymer) .
  • the stripped polymer is then typically dried by N 2 .
  • the one or more aromatic ring systems may be introduced during the preparation of the carbocationic polymerization system, although a better defined product is prepared when the living carbocationic polymerization systems have exhausted the supply of monomers .
  • polymers may be prepared having the functional end-group at one terminus of the polymer chain (1:1; onofunctional) , having the one or more aromatic ring systems coupling two or more living carbocationic polymerization systems (so-called branched or star-branched polymers prepared e.g.
