N-SUBSTITUTED PERFLUOROALKYLATED PYRROLIDINES, PROCESS FOR MAKING THEM AND PROCESS FOR THE ADDITION
OF RF-IODIDE TO AN OLEFIN
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to N-substituted perfluoroalkylated pyrrolidines, reaction products thereof and the use of these reaction products as specialty surfactants, as oil- and grease- proofing agents for paper, textiles and hard surfaces such as masonry and wood.
Background of Invention
Perfluoroalkylated polymers which are used for treatment of textile and paper products to impart water, oil and grease repellency are almost exclusively derived from RF-substituted acrylates or methacrylates, where RF represents a perfluorinated alkyl or alkenyl moiety. Certain RF-acrylamide derivatives, although described in the literature, have not found a use in the market because of their uneconomical synthesis cost. A novel RF-acrylamide has now been found which is easily prepared in high yield from readily available starting materials, i.e. diallylamine, an RF-iodide and a difunctional acryloyl derivative, preferably 3-chloropropanoic acid chloride. Reaction products of this RF-acrylamide have diverse uses.
U.S. Patent 3,535,381 describes the synthesis of RF-substituted amines and (meth)acryl- amides thereof by reaction of RF-ethylene with a primary amine with elimination of hydrofluoric acid, followed by reaction with methacroyl chloride. The yield of RF-amine based on the RF-iodide is about 60%. U.S. Patent 3,996,281 describes the synthesis of RF-amines and derived (meth)acrylates from RF-epoxides or RF-chlorohydrins by reaction with primary or secondary amines. The necessity of preparing an RF-epoxide first makes this approach very impractical. Other previously described RF-acrylamides are described in JP 10139747 A2 , for example RF-ethylacrylamide synthesized from acryloyl chloride and 1 ,1 -dihydro-heptafluorobutylamine. EP-A 177122 describes an RF-substituted urethane derived from acryloyl isocyanate.
U S Patent 3,996,281 describes N,N-dι-RF-acrylamιdes derived from an RF-epoxιde, an amine and acryloyl chloride. U.S. Patent 3,763,225 describes an RF-acrylamιde derived by reaction of RF-ιodιde with a primary amine and amidification with acyloyl chloride in pyπdine. JP 03261749 describes an N-RF-et yl-N-allyl diacrylamide prepared from RF- ethyl iodide by reaction with allylamine and acryloyl chloride.
The free radical-induced addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides to N,N-dιallyl derivatives and subsequent formation of pyrrolidines by ring closure is well documented. Brace, in J. Polymer Science, Part A-1 , 8, 2091 (1970) describes the synthesis of 3- (perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolιdιne of the formula I
by addition of R
F-iodide to diallylcyanamide and subsequent hydrolysis; large amounts of the corresponding pyrrolidine amide are formed as a by-product. In the case of diallylamine itself, Brace (J. Org. Chem. 36, 3187 (1971)) found that the intermediate R
F-ιodide adduct formed a polymeric R
F-amino compound by substitution; the desired R
F-pyrrolιdιne amine of the formula I was not obtained.
The N-benzoyl, N-acetyl and N-trifluoroacetyl, N-carbonitrile, N-propionitnle and N- carboxamide derivatives of 3-(perfluoroalkylmethyl)-4-methylenepyrrolidιne are known from Brace, J. Org. Chem. 36, 3187 (1971), and maleic acid amide copolymers are known from U.S. Patent 5,427,859. Each of these products however is made by reacting the N-substituted diallylamine with RF-iodide, and it is often almost impossible to remove the eliminated iodide salts from the final product, especially if the product is water soluble.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a convenient high yield synthesis of 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolιdιne. It is a further object of the present invention to provide fluonnated derivatives thereof, such as amides, ureas, ethers and urethanes, by reaction of 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolιdιne with amino- reactive compounds such as carboxylic acids, acid chlorides, anhydrides, oxiranes, isocyanates, halo-alkanes, ureas and (meth)acrylates or other vinyl compounds, which fluonnated derivatives are substantially free of iodide salts and which are useful as specialty surfactants and as oil proofing agents for paper and textiles.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a novel monomer, 1 - (meth)acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolidine of the formula II
wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R
F is a perfluorinated alkyl or alkenyl moiety and a method for its synthesis from diallylamine, R
F-iodide and a (meth)acryloyl derivative using a novel process for the addition of the R
F-iodide to the allylic double bond.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide polymers derived from 1 - (meth)acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolidine which are useful to impart water, oil and grease repellency to substrates such as wood, paper, textiles, metal, glass or masonry.
The inventive RF-(meth)acrylamides can readily be copolymerized with other vinyl monomers, such as (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylamides, styrene or vinyl ethers or -esters. The hydrolytic stability of polymers based on tertiary acrylamides gives them a special advantage over the more commonly used (meth)acrylates, because it allows the synthesis of anionic water-dispersible polymers which need to be stable at alkaline pH.

CH2-;
-C(=O)-CHzCH2-C(=O)- or -C(=O)-(-C6H2(-COOH)2)-C(=O)-.
Compounds which are 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolidines of the formula I
are useful as intermediates to prepare compounds of the formula III. The synthesis of a compound of the formula I is preferably carried out stepwise by reaction of diallylamine with an equivalent amount of R
F-iodide in an aqueous medium at temperatures of from 5 to 50° C, using sodium dithionite as initiator, followed by elimination of HI with a base, to form a 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolidine of the formula I.
By adjusting the reaction mixture to an alkaline pH, this intermediate can be washed substantially free of iodide salts. This leads to an iodide-free end product in the subsequent step.
To prepare a compound of the formula III, the 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4- methylenepyrrolidine intermediate of the formula I is reacted with an anhydride such as oxalic-, glutaric-, alkenyl-succinic-, succinic-, tetrahydrophthalic-, norbornene-; methendic-
, maleic-, trimellitic or itaconic anhydride, to form the corresponding amic-acid; with a dianhydride such as pyromellitic anhydride or benzophenone-tetracarboxyiic acid dianhydride to form the corresponding di-amic acid; with an acyl halide such as benzoyl chloride or acetyi chloride or with a diacyl halide such as oxalylchloride, or an alkyl ester such as ethyl undecylenate or a dialkyl ester such as dimethyl succinate, to form the corresponding amides or diamides; with a halogenated organic compound such as 1 ,4-dichloromethylbenzene, chloroacetic acid, chloropropionic acid or chloroacetamide to form the corresponding tertiary amine or tertiary amine-acid; with a diisocyanate such as isophorone diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate,
1 ,6-diisocyanatohexane or 1 ,6-diisocyanato-3,3,4(3,4,4)-trimethylhexane to form the corresponding di-urethane; with an oxirane or a polyoxirane compound such as epichlorohydrin, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, cyclohexane oxide, styrene oxide, allyl glycidyl ether, and the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, bisphenol F or 1 ,4-butanediol, to form the corresponding hydroxy- tertiary amino compounds; or with a phosphoric acid derivative such as POCI3, polyphosphoric acid or sodium metaphosphate to form the corresponding phosphamic acids.
The compounds of formula III can also be made by first preparing N,N-dιallyl intermediates either through the reaction of diallylamine with the reactants mentioned above, or by reaction of primary amines Q-(NH2)q with two equivalents of allyl chloride, in either case adding the RF-iodide during the last step. A large variety of primary amines and polyamines can be used to make compounds of formula III in which B is a direct bond and Q is a hydrocarbon residue as defined above. Typical amines are aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic amines and substituted amines with 1 to 20 carbon atoms such as stearylamine; glycine, lysine and other amino acids; N,N-dimethylpropane-1 ,3- diamine, p-amino benzoic acid, sulfanilic acid, N,N'-bis-3-aminopropyl piperazine, ethylendiamine, diethylenetriamine and bis-(3-aminopropyl)-ethylenediamine.
The radical Q can itself be RF-substituted if it is derived for example from RF-undecylenic acid, 3-RF-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride or 3-RF-4-iodo-norbornene anhydride. In such cases it is preferable to first react diallylamine with any of the unsaturated precursors - undecylenic acid, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and/or norbornene anhydride - then to add the RF-iodide last and simultaneously to both types of double bonds in the corresponding diallyl amides. Such compounds of formula (III) in which Q is substituted by an RF-group are another object of this invention.
Compounds of formula III containing tertiary amino groups can, if desired be quaternized with quaternizing agents such as alkyl halides, chloroacetic and chloropropionic acids, benzyl chloride, allyl chloride, chloroacetamide, propiolactone or propanesultone. They can also be oxidized to the corresponding N-oxides with a peroxy compound such as H2O2 or salinized with an inorganic or preferably organic acid. Such compounds are another object of this invention.
The synthesis of the preferred 1 -(meth)acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylene compounds of the formula II
wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R
F is as previously defined can be carried out in various ways. One method entails the addition of R
F-ιodιde to diallylamine, forming a 3- (perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolιdιne of the formula I, followed by reaction with (meth)acryloyl chloride, (meth)acrylic acid or a (meth)acrylιc acid ester and finally elimination of HI with a base. Invariably a large amount of by-product is formed as a result of Michael addition of the pyrrolidine to the acrylic double bond. In the case of the acrylamide, this problem can be circumvented by using 3-chloropropionyl chloride (CPC) to form the amide, followed by elimination of HCI with a base to form the corresponding acrylamide.
An alternative and preferred method of preparing a 1 -acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4- methylenepyrrolidine of the formula lla
comprises first reacting 3-chloropropionyl chloride (CPC) with diallylamine to form N,N- diallyl-3-chloropropaneamide, then reacting this product with R
F-iodide followed by eliminating HCI and HI by dehydrohalogenating with a base such as an alkali metal hydroxide. The product of the formula lla is then washed with water followed by separating the aqueous layer.
The addition of RF-iodide to the diallylamine moiety is accomplished in an aqueous medium advantageously containing from 5 to 50% by weight of a water-soluble cosoivent such as an alcohol or ketone, to compatibilize both reactant phases. Preferred cosolvents are lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n- and iso-propanol and t-butyl alcohol. A suitable free radical initiator for the addition of RF-iodide is 0.01 to 10 mole %, preferably 0.1 to 5 mole %, based on the RF-iodide of an alkali metal dithionite, preferably sodium or potassium dithionite, preferably in the presence of a water-soluble aldehyde such as formaldehyde or glyoxal or.especially, in the presence of an aldehyde adduct such as hydroxymethane sulfinic acid, sodium salt (the addition product of formaldehyde and sodium dithionite). It is commercially available as the dihydrate from Aldrich Chemical Company. It is also commercially available under the tradename Rongalite. The aldehyde or aldehyde adduct is believed to scavenge bisulfite ions, which would
otherwise react with the primary chloride or with the acrylic double bond of 3-chloropropionyl chloride to form surfactant-like molecules by forming an adduct with them.
Suitably the reaction is conducted at temperatures of 0 to 60° C.
The addition of RF-iodide to double bonds only in the presence of equivalent amounts of dithionite or Rongalite is known from Huang, Acta Chimica Sinica, 44 488, (1986) and Huang, Chin. J. Chem. (1990), 191 , respectively.
U.S. Patent 5,585,517 describes the addition of RF-iodide to allyl alcohol using an azo- type free radical initiator together with an alkali metal bisulfite or dithionite ion, which in this case only serves to reduce any free iodine which would otherwise inhibit the reaction. Copending U.S. Patent application No. 09/234,251 describes the addition of RF-iodide to allylic double bonds at low temperature, using only catalytic amounts of an alkali metal dithionite to create ion-radicals for initiation, with no mention of the presence of an aldehyde. In the present situation, where the end product is an acrylate, the reaction is complicated by the fact that bisulfite ion (the decomposition product of the dithionite) not only easily displaces a primary chloride, but can also add to the acrylic double bond which is formed under the basic conditions required for HCI elimination, in either case forming a very potent RF-sulfonate surfactant as by-product. This reduces the yield of the desired acrylamide product and makes isolation by phase separation very difficult due to excessive foaming and emulsification. This problem is circumvented by the use of an aldehyde or aldehyde adduct to stabilize the alkali metal dithionite. Most preferred is the use of Rongalite, the above-mentioned complex of formaldehyde and sodium dithionite.
An added advantage of Rongalite is that it is more stable than an alkali metal dithionite alone at the low pH required to carry out the RF-iodide addition reaction; at a high pH HCI is eliminated prematurely.
Thus another object of this invention is a process for the addition of RF-iodide to an olefin which comprises reacting an RF-iodide with an olefin in the presence of 0.01 to 10 mole %, preferably 0.1 to 5 mole %, based on the RF-iodide of a combination an alkali metal dithionite and a water-soluble aldehyde or an adduct of an alkali metal dithionite and a water-soluble aldehyde, where RF is as defined above. Preferably the alkali metal
dithionite is sodium or potassium dithionite and the water-soluble aldehyde is formaldehyde or glyoxal. The preferred adduct of an alkali metal dithionite and a water- soluble aldehyde is hydroxymethane sulfinic acid, sodium salt, the addition product of formaldehyde and sodium dithionite. Advantageously the reaction is carried out in an aqueous medium containing 5-50% by weight of a water-soluble cosoivent and at temperatures of 0 to 60° C.
Preferred bases for the subsequent dehydrohalogenation are alkali metal hydroxides, in particular sodium and potassium hydroxide.
To avoid polymerization during the dehydrohalogenation, it is advisable to carry out the reaction in the presence of a polymerization inhibitor such as phenothiazine, p-methoxyphenol or other conventional inhibitors known in the art.
When the compounds of the present invention are used as grease and oil repellent paper sizing agents, they are applied by methods known per se in amounts which are sufficient to deposit from 0.005 to 0.5 % of organically bound fluorine by weight based on the dry paper weight. The compounds of the present invention can be applied either externally in topical applications, for instance in a size press to the surface of paper or cardboard. They can also be applied internally, by adding them to an aqueous pulp together with other wet-end chemicals, as described for instance in U.S. Patent 5,091 ,550, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference, and more generally in W.F. Reynolds, 'The Sizing of Paper", TAPPI Press, 1989.
It has been very unexpectedly found that the reaction products of 3-(perfluoro- alkyl)methyl-4-methylenepyrrolidine with anhydrides and dianhydrides perform as well as the best available polymeric fluorinated compounds as treatments for the grease-repellent paper that is employed in pet-food packaging; no other small fluorinated molecule has given equivalent performance.
The following examples illustrate various embodiments of how to make and use the invention, and are not to be interpreted as limiting the scope of the appended claims. In the examples, all parts are by weight unless otherwise specified. A perfiuoroalkyl iodide mixture of the formula CnF2n+1-l with n = 4 to 14 was obtained from DuPont under the
product name ZONYL" TELA-N. It has the following average telomer distribution: C6 6% maximum, C8 = 50 ± 3%, C10 = 29 ± 2%, C12 = 1 1 ± 1 %, C14 and higher = 4% maximum, respectively. C6F13I was obtained from Clariant Chemical Corporation.
Example 1
Synthesis of N-acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylene pyrrolidine
a) 3-Chloropropionyl chloride (CPC) (100 g, 0.783 mole, 98% pure) and aqueous 31.8% sodium hydroxide (99.3 g, 0.791 mole), are added while stirring to diallylamine (76.1 g, 0.783 mole) over one hour at 0-5° C with the pH controlled at 8-8.5 using a pH- meter. After the addition, the two phase mixture is allowed to warm up to 23° C and extracted twice with diisopropyl ether (40 ml). The solvent is evaporated under vacuum to give a clear, colorless liquid in quantitative yield. The structure of N,N-diallyl-3-chloro- propionamide is confirmed by analysis: Spectral data: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCI3); δ = 5.14, 5.21 (m, 4H, CH2=CH), 5.75 (m, 2H, CH2=CH), 3.99 (d, 2H, N-CH2), 3.65 (d, 2H, N- CH2), 2.78 (t, 2H, 3J = 6.70 Hz, CH2C=O), 3.81 ( t, 2H, 3J = 6.70 Hz, CI-CH2). Elemental Analysis: calc. for C9Hι4CINO: C, 57.54; H, 7.46; N, 7.46; Cl, 18.91. Found: C, 57.41 ; H, 7.79; N, 7.16; Cl, 18.62.
b) Sodium dithionite (0.35 g, 1.78 mmol, 88%) is added to a mixture of the reaction product of Example 1a) (5.2 g, 27.7 mmol), perfluoroalkyl iodide (RFI, DuPont's Zonyl TelA-N) with a homologue distribution of 53.0% C8F17I, 30.6% Cι0F21l, 1 1.7% C12F25l, 3.6% C14F291, and 1.0% C16F33I (16.6 g, 27.2 mmol), 9.1 g water, and 8.7 g tert.-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH) at 19° C with stirring. The reaction temperature spontaneously increases to 49° C and is allowed to cool back to room temperature. After a total of two hours, the reaction is over (<0.5 wt. % RFI remaining by GC). Phenothiazine (5 mg) and potassium hydroxide (9.2 g, 81.9 mmol, 50%) are added to the mixture and it is stirred at 60-64° C for 6 hours to carry out the dehydrohalogenation. Excess base is neutralized with dilute sulfuric acid and t-BuOH/H2O is azeotroped off under reduced pressure. The
mixture is washed twice with 40 ml 2-pentanone at 65° C. Substantial foaming is observed during the washing and distillation. Since bisulfite is a decomposition product of dithionite, the foaming is believed to be due to a sulfonate surfactant that is formed from bisulfite addition to the acrylic double bond. The solvent is carefully evaporated under vacuum at 40° C to give a yellow solid (13.9 g, 80%, m.p. 55-63° C). (A lower than expected yield is obtained with most of the losses occurring during phase separation due to the presence of the sulfonate by-product).
A portion of the product is purified further by applying a band of material dissolved in ether to a preparative TLC plate (Silica gel GF, 1000 microns, 20 X 20cm, with preadsorbent zone, UV25 , ether mobile phase) and scraping off the band at RF= 0.31. This material is washed with methanol, filtered and dried under vacuum. The solid residue is analyzed and its N-acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylene pyrrolidine structure confirmed by 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCI3); δ = 6.41 (m, 2H, CH2=CH), 5.74 (m, 1 H, CH2=CH), 5.20, 5.06 (d, 2H, CH2=C), 4.25 (d, 2H, N-CH2C), 3.32, 4.12 (m, 2H, AB portion of ABX, N-CH2CH), 3.10, 3.21 ( bm, 1 H, CH2CHCH2), 2.13, 2.52 (bm, 2H, CF2CH2). Elemental Analysis: calc. for C182 H12F1954NO: C, 34.66; H, 1.90; F, 58.70; N, 2.21 %. Found: C, 34.44; H, 1.63; F, 56.95; N, 2.21 %.
Example 2
Improved synthesis of N-acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyI)methyl-4-methylene pyrrolidine to reduce by-product formation and increase isolated yield
An aqueous solution of Rongalite (trade name for the addition product of formaldehyde and sodium dithionite), (0.52 g, 3.4 mmol, 30%) is added to a mixture of the reaction product of Example 1a) (30.8 g, 0.17 mol), perfluoroalkyl iodide (RFI, DuPont's Zonyl TelA-N) with a homologue distribution of 53.0% C8F17I, 30.6% C10F21I, 11.7% C12F25I, 3.6% C14F29I, and 1.0% C16F33I (100.3 g, 0.169 mol), 57.3 g water, and 51.9 g tert.-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH) at 75° C with stirring. The reaction mixture begins to spontaneously reflux at 82° C and is allowed to cool back to 73-75° C where it is maintained for two hours, after which time <1 wt. % RFI remains as determined by GC. Phenothiazine (58 mg) followed by 45% potassium hydroxide (53 g, 0.425 mol), is added to the mixture, which is then stirred at 73-77° C for 4 hours to carry out the dehydrohalogenation. The t-
BuOH/H20 is azeotroped off under reduced pressure with no foaming evident and the mixture is washed twice with 50 ml 2-pentanone at 65° C. The solvent is evaporated under high vacuum at 60° C to give 100.1 g of a yellow solid, corresponding to 99% yield. Chemical shifts and TLC R, values match those of the desired compound. By proton NMR and chromatography, a cleaner product is obtained using Rongalite as the initiator as opposed to dithionite.
Example 3
Comparative example using a conventional free-radical initiator and process
The process of Example 2 is repeated, but using 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) (VAZO-67) in place of Rongalite as initiator. After 5 hours at 78° C, 95 mole % of the starting RFI remains unreacted as determined by GC.
Example 4
Synthesis of RF-acrylamide copolymer
A flask fitted with a reflux condenser is charged with 3.0 g of N-acryloyl-3-(perfluoroalkyl)- methyl-4-methylene pyrrolidine synthesized according to Example 2, 0.5 g of N,N-diethyl- aminoethyl methacrylate, 0.3 g of methyl methacrylate and 5.0 g of methyl isobutyl ketone. The reaction flask is purged with nitrogen at 40° C and 0.05 g of azobisisobutyronitnle are added. The temperature of the stirred mixture is then raised to between 60 and 65° C and held there for 20 hours. Then another 0.03 g of azobisisobutyronitnle are added and the mixture is stirred at 65° C for another 16 hours. Finally, methyl methacrylate (0.05 g) and another charge of azobisisobutyronitnle (0.01 g) are added and the reaction is completed during further stirring at 65° C for 4 hours. To the resulting viscous solution a mixture of water (20.0 g) and acetic acid (0.3 g) is added and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. The ensuing polymer solution is transferred into a round-bottom flask and methyl isobutyl ketone is removed under vacuum. The final aqueous solution is adjusted with water to give 20.0 g of a copolymer solution with 19 % by weight solids content.
Example 5
Synthesis of 3-(perfluoroalkyl)methyl-4-methylene pyrrolidine
An aqueous solution of sodium dithionite (0.6 g, 2.87 mmol, 25%) is added to a mixture of diallylamine (5.6 g, 57.4 mmol), perfluoroalkyl iodide (RFI; DuPont's Zonyl TelA-N) with a homologue distribution of 53.0% C8F17I, 30.6% C10F2ιl, 1 1.7% C12F25I, 3.6% C14F29I, and 1.0% Cι6F33l (35.0 g, 57.4 mmol), 18.0 g water, and 9.2 g methyl tert.-butyl ether at 13° C with stirring. The reaction mixture spontaneously begins to exotherm, reaching a maximum temperature of 42° C after about 15 minutes. It is allowed to cool back to room temperature over 45 minutes where it is maintained for 90 minutes, after which time <2 wt. % RFI remains as determined by GC. A charge of 50% potassium hydroxide (9.0 g, 80.4 mmol), is added to the mixture, which is then stirred at 60-62° C for 5 hours to carry out the dehydrohalogenation (reaction monitored by GC and AgNO3 titration for iodide). The resulting product mixture is extracted thrice with 75 ml methyl tert.-butyl ether at 50° C, and the solvent is evaporated under high vacuum at 50° C to give 30.7 g (93.7%) of white solid. The pyrrolidine structure is confirmed by 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ = 4.9, 5.1 (d, d, 2H, 2J=2.3 Hz, CH2=C), 3.4, 3.6 (dd, 2H, 2J=13 Hz, -NH-CH2C), 3.3, 2.6 (m, 2H, 2J=15 Hz, 3J=8.5 Hz, -NH-CH2CH), 2.9 (m, 1 H, -CH2CHCH2), 2.2, 2.5 (m, 2H, CF2CH2). 13C NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) d: 152.3, CH2=C, 104.9, CH2=C, 54.2, -NH- CH2C, 51.8, -NH-CH2CH, 37.3, -CH2CHCH2, 34.1 Hz, CF2CH2 (t, 2JC- = 22.6 Hz).

After 30 minutes the addition is complete. Then sodium hydroxide (10.0 g, 125 mmol, 50%) is added to the reaction mixture and it is stirred for an additional 3.5 hours, after which time the alkylation is complete as determined gas chromatography. The temperature is then cooled to 25° C and the pH is made alkaline with caustic. The product is extracted from the reaction mixture with ether (three times, 25 ml). On removal of the ether a clear yellow liquid is obtained with a purity of 98.6 % (GC and NMR).

The reaction mixture is stirred at 55° C for three hours, resulting in >99% conversion of RF-iodide by GC analysis. The temperature is raised to 60° C while 9.0 g of 50 % NaOH is added. Then the mixture is stirred for 5 hours at 60° C, after which time the deiodination is complete as determined by iodide titration. The reaction mixture is washed free of halides by adjusting the pH to alkaline with caustic and extracting with methyl propyl ketone.
A cationic emulsion is made using Ethoquad 18/25 (polyethoxylated octadecylamine from Akzo-Nobel,1.2 g), deionized water/acetic acid (140.0 g/2.9 g), and isopropyl acetate (35 g). After stirring at 65° C for 15 minutes, the mixture is passed three times though a high

Example 13
Synthesis of Poly-(perfluoroalkyl pyrrolidine-acrylamides)
A flask fitted with a reflux condenser and a mechanical stirrer is charged with 9.0 g (14.5 mmoles) of the perfluoroalkyl pyrrolidine of Example 2, (1.65 g, 8.9 mmole) N,N-diethyl- aminoethyl methacrylate, 0.9 g (9.0 mmole) methyl methacrylate and 10.0 g methyl isobutyl ketone. The flask is purged with nitrogen at 40° C, and 0.12 g azobisisobutyronitnle (AIBN) is added. The polymerization is performed by stirring the mixture at 65 to 70° C for 4.5 hours. To the polymerization mixture are added another 0.03 g AIBN and 0.07 g methyl methacrylate. The mixture is then stirred at 65° C for 16 hours, forming a very viscous gel-like mass. It is believed this is due to the formation of high molecular weight polymer resulting from crosslinking via the exocyclic double bond present in the monomer.
Example 14 is performed without methyl methacrylate as a third comonomer.
1. Example 14
The procedure of Example 13 is repeated with the following charges of monomers and solvents: 6.0 g (9.7 mmoles) of the perfluoroalkyl pyrrolidine of Example 2, 1.6 g (8.6 mmoles) N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and 10.0 g methyl isobutyl ketone. The flask is purged with nitrogen at 40° C, and 0.07 g of azobisisobutyronitnle are added. The polymerization is carried out by stirring the mixture at 65 to 70° C for 4.0 hours; then another 0.03 g of azobisisobutyronitnle are added and the mixture is stirred at 68° C for another 5 hours, after which time the reaction is stopped due to excessive viscosity. The reaction mixture contains 5 % of unreacted perfluoroalkyl pyrrolidine monomer. An aqueous solution of acetic acid (0.7 g acetic acid in 25 g water) is added and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. The mixture is then transferred to a round bottom flask and methyl isobutyl ketone is removed under vacuum, resulting in a yellow aqueous copolymer solution having a pH of 5 and 18 % solids.

The polymerization is carried out by stirring the mixture at between 68 and 72° C for 4.0 hours, after which time another 0.04 g of Vazo-67 are added and the mixture is stirred at 70° C for another 6 hours. An aqueous solution of acetic acid (1.2 g acetic acid in 40 g water) is added and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. It is then transferred to a round bottom flask and methyl isobutyl ketone is removed under vacuum, resulting in a yellow aqueous copolymer solution having a pH of 5 and 18 % solids.
In Examples 16 and 17, N,N-dιmethylamιnoethyl methacrylate is used as the ammo monomer. In order to evaluate the effect of other comonomers, N-vmyl pyrrolidinone is also used as the third comonomer in Example 17.

The polymerization is performed by stirring the mixture at between 68 and 70° C for 4.0 hours. To the polymerization mixture are added 0.3 g of dimethylacrylamide and another 0.04 g of Vazo-67. The mixture is then stirred at 68° C for 6 hours. An aqueous solution of acetic acid (2.1 g acetic acid in 50 g water) is added, and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. It is then transferred to a round bottom flask and methyl isobutyl ketone is removed under vacuum, resulting in a yellow aqueous copolymer solution having a pH of 4 and 23 % solids.

Then 5.2 g (65.5 mmol) sodium hydroxide are added and the mixture is stirred at 65 ° C for 4.5 hours to carry out the dehydroiodination step. The product mixture is then poured into 1 liter of ice water, filtered, and dried to give a tan solid in quantitative yield. Proton NMR confirms the suggested structure:
Example 19
The following example shows the usefulness of the novel compounds of the present invention as external paper sizes.
External Size Application:
Neutralized test solutions are added to a 4% aqueous solution of paper maker's starch (Stayco M, oxidized starch, from Staley Corp.) and then applied to unsized paper by padding (paper dipped through starch solution, and passed through single nip rollers). The resulting sheets are dried at ambient conditions for 15 minutes, then 3 minutes at 200° F (86.6° C) in an "Emerson Speed Drier" (heated metal plate with a canvas cover).
OIL AND GREASE RESISTANCE TESTS:
Oil Kit Test:
The oil repellency of the surface is determined by using the TAPPI UM 557 OIL KIT TEST, which consists of determining with which of twelve castor oil-heptane-toluene mixtures having decreasing surface tension penetration occurs within 15 seconds; ratings go from 1 , lowest, to 12.
Ralston-Purina (RP2) Test:
Grease resistance is determined with the Ralston-Purina test for pet food materials; RP-2 Test, Ralston-Purina Company, Packaging Reference Manual Volume 06 - Test Methods. In summary, cross-wise creased test papers are placed over a grid sheet imprinted with 100 squares. Five grams of sand are placed in the center of the crease. A mixture of synthetic oil and a dye for visualization is pipetted onto the sand and the samples are maintained at 60° C for 24 hours. Ratings are determined by the percentage of stained grid segments, using at least two samples.
Example 1 : Turpentine Test: a preliminary test to determine rates at which oil or grease can be expected to penetrate the paper is conducted according to TAPPI T454om- 94.
WATER AND ALCOHOL RESISTANCE TESTS
Example 2: Cobb Size Test
Water resistance is determined using the Cobb Sizing test as described in TAPPI T 441om-90.
IPA Resistance Test
In this test drops of isopropanol - water mixtures are placed on paper and after 3 minutes the under side of the paper is monitored for penetration, if no penetration has occurred, a mixture with the next higher IPA content is applied. The rating is based on the highest % by weight of IPA which does not penetrate. Ratings are based on 5% IPA increments.
Pet food - "Felix" test:
This is a very stringent test. French "Felix" brand cat food is placed as a 2 cm thick layer on 100 cm2 of treated paper; this sample is then put under a weight of 7 kg and kept in an environmental chamber at 70° C and 67% moisture for 16 hours. The paper is then visually inspected for signs of fat penetration, which is expressed in area %. Any value below 15% is considered passing. Cat food is used because it is a very aggressive substance, containing phosphoric acid (to prevent kidney stones).
Pet food "Eukanuba" test:
The same procedure is used as described above, but with Eukanuba brand pet food and under dry conditions.
The following table shows the performance of the inventive compounds in comparison with commercial products. Note that the performance of the inventive compounds in pet food tests is similar to that of commercial polymeric compounds, whereas comparable commercial low molecular weight compounds fail in pet food tests.

Internal Size Application and Testing:
Six grams of dry recycled pulp consisting of 70% hard-wood and 30% soft-wood is diluted in 289 ml distilled water and thoroughly dispersed in a blender. To this pulp slurry is added the required amount of a 1% solution of the test compound in distilled water and mixed in for 5 minutes. Then 6 ml of a 1% aqueous solution of cooked cationic starch is added and mixed in for an additional 5 minutes. To this mixture 24 ml of a 50% (on solids) dilution of a water-repellent adjuvant (alkylketene dimer, AKD, commercial product Hercon-76, from Nalco Chem. Corp.) are added and mixed in for another 10 minutes. The resulting slurry is diluted with an additional 500 ml of distilled water and mixed again. This mixture is then poured over a 100 mesh wire screen while a vacuum applied from below. This pulls the water from the pulp mixture to form a sheet on the screen. The wet sheet is removed from the screen and dried between another screen and a hard surface at a pressure of approximately 0.4 lb./in2 at 110° C for 1 V hours.
Hot-Oil Test:
One ml of hot (110° C) corn oil is placed on the paper and the time is recorded for penetration to occur (20 minutes maximum). Paper made in the same manner, including the cationic starch and water-repellent adjuvant, but without a fluorochemical, demonstrates an oil kit number of < 1 and holds the hot corn oil for less than one minute (begins to penetrate as soon as applied). The amount of oil absorbed is determined gravimetrically by weighing the paper before and after the hot-oil test, and after the surface oil has been removed.
The Oil-Kit Test is the same as that for the External Size.
Hot-Water Test:
One ml of a hot (83° C) 5% lactic acid solution is placed on a paper plate; hold-out time and absorption are measured the same way as in the hot-oil test.
In this application water resistance is a function of the AKD (alkylketene dimer); it is important that the AKD cure is not inhibited by the fluorochemical additive The test results show that the bis-pyrrolidme compound of Example 1 1 performs exceptionally well with the polymeric product being only slightly worse.
The following table shows the results:
