Description

METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ORGANOALKOXYSILANE HAVING ESTER-FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
Technical Field [0001 ] The present invention relates to a novel method of manufacturing an organoalkoxysilane having ester-functional groups, the product being obtained easily and with a high yield. The method consists of conducting a reaction between an alkali-metal salt of a carboxylic acid and an organoalkoxysilane with halogen-substituted organic groups in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst.
Background Art [0002] Organoalkoxysilanes with acrylic-acid-ester-functional groups and/or methacrylic- acid-ester-functional groups are used as silane-coupling agents, raw materials for synthesis of acryl- and/or methacryl-modified silicone oils, or poiymerizable monomers for manufacturing acryl-type polymers that contain alkoxysilyl groups. Heretofore, such organoalkoxysilanes were synthesized by subjecting carboxylic acid esters of unsaturated alcohols and hydrosilanes to hydrosilation in the presence of transition-metal catalysts. Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication (hereinafter referred to as "Kokai") H9-208590 (equivalent to US5679821) discloses a method of obtaining an ester-functional alkoxysilane by subjecting an alkylallylester and hydroalkoxysilane to hydrosilation in the presence of a transition-metal catalyst.
[0003] Although with regard to a different compound, Japanese Official Patent
Publication 2001-512779 (equivalent to EP 1007604) also discloses a method of obtaining an aromatic-carboxylic-acid-ester-functional trialkoxysilane by synthesizing an ester compound with unsaturated groups on terminals by subjecting an alcohol having alkenyl groups and a carboxylic acid having a phenyl groups to esterification in the presence of an acidic catalyst, and then subjecting the obtained compound to hydrosilation with an alkoxysilane in the presence of a platinum catalyst. [0004] A disadvantage of the above methods is the synthesis process that involves the use of either hydro alkoxysilanes that are difficult to handle, or unsaturated esters that are not always commercially available and therefore have to be synthesized in separate specially designed processes. Another problem is that the hydrosilation reaction has low positional selectivity, and therefore it is not always possible to obtain a product of high purity.
[0005] On the other hand, Kokai 2002-249494 (equivalent to EP1234830) discloses a method of obtaining an ester-functional organoalkoxysilane without resorting to the hydrosilation reaction, but the above method utilizes acrylic- and/or methacrylic-acid as a starting material in the form of an alkali-metal salt, and, therefore, products that can be obtained by the aforementioned method are limited only to acrylic- and/or methacrylic-acid- ester-functional organoalkoxysilanes. Furthermore, since the process involves addition of a polymerization inhibitor, such as phenothiazine required for inhibiting polymerization during the reaction, this may be an obstacle for processes in which a acrylic- and/or methacrylic- acid-ester-functional organoalkoxysilane, that constitutes a product, has to participate in vinyl polymerization.
Disclosure of Invention [0006] Based on the results of a detailed study, the author has found that a desired organoalkoxysilane with ester-functional groups can be efficiently produced by causing an alkali-metal salt of a carboxylic acid other than acrylic and/or methacrylic acid to participate in a reaction with a halogenated alkylalkoxysilane in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst without the use of polymerization inhibitors. Thus the author arrived at the present invention. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method that allows easy high- yield production of an organoalkoxysilane with carboxylic-acid-ester-functional groups without the use of polymerization inhibitors.
[0007] The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an organoalkoxysilane that contains ester-functional groups and is represented by the following general formula: R1 - COO - R2 -Si (OR3)n R4 3.n

Best Mode for Carrying Out the invention [0008] The present invention provides a method that allows efficient and economical production of a highly pure organoalkoxysilane that contains ester-functional groups and is suitable for use as a silane-coupling agent, a raw material for synthesis of modified silicone oils, or polymerizable monomers for the manufacture of silicon-containing polymers.

The aforementioned groups can be substituted by alkoxy groups, alkoxycarbonyl groups, acyl groups, cyano groups, etc. Most preferable are methyl groups. In the above formula, «n» is an integer between 1 and 3.

[0016] If the organoalkoxysilane (b) with halogen-substituted organic groups has high hydrolyzability, introduction of water into the reaction system may decrease the yield of the product.

Drying of component (a) may be carried out by heating in vacuum, or by azeotropic dehydration, h case component (b) has low hydrolyzability, component (a) may be used in an aqueous solution.

A 1000 ml four-neck flask equipped with a refluxing condenser, stirrer, and thermometer was filled with 145.38 g (1.65 mole) of butyric acid, and then 185.14 g (1.65 mole) of a 48% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added dropwise. The obtained mixture was combined with 300 g of toluene and subjected to azeotropic dehydration. The contents were combined with 298.1 g (1.5 mole) of γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, and 1.14 g (0.0075 mole) of DBU as a phase-transfer catalyst, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 130°C. The obtained product was separated by adding 450 g of water and purified by evaporating an organic layer via distillation in vacuum. It was confirmed by a gas chromatography analysis that the final product was comprised of 311.7 g (1.25 moles) of trimethoxysilylpropyl butyrate. A yield of separation was relatively high and was 83%.
[0022] Practical Example 2
A 1000 ml four-neck flask equipped with a refluxing cooler, stirrer, and thermometer was filled with 68.45 g (0.46 mole) of cinnamic acid and 150 g of water, and then 51.43 g (0.44 mole) of a 48% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added dropwise. The obtained mixture was subjected to azeotropic dehydration with 150 g of toluene. The contents were combined with 79.49 g (0.40 5 mole) of γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, 50 g of xylene, and 0.30 g (0.002 mole) of DBU, as a phase-transfer catalyst, and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours at 120°C. The obtained reaction product was separated by adding 120 g of water and purified by evaporating an organic layer via distillation in vacuum. It was confirmed by a gas chromatography analysis that the final product was comprised of 79.72 g (0.26 mole) of trimethoxysilylpropyl cinnamate. A yield of separation was 64%.
[0023] Practical Example 3 A 1000 ml four-neck flask equipped with a refluxing cooler, stirrer, and thermometer was filled with 151.31 g (1.05 mole) of sodium benzoate, 100 g of toluene, 198.72 g (1.00 mole) of γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, and 0.76 g (0.05 mole) of DBU, as a phase-transfer catalyst, and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 120°C. The obtained reaction product was separated by adding 240 g of water and purified by evaporating an organic layer via distillation in vacuum. It was confirmed by a gas chromatography analysis that the final product was comprised of 227.59 g (0.80 mole) of trimethoxysilylpropyl benzoate. A yield of separation was relatively high and equal to 80%.
[0024] Comparative Example 1 A test was carried at the same conditions as in Practical Example 1, with the exception that DBU was not added. Only a trace amount of the trimethoxysilylpropyl butyrate present in the mixture obtained after completion was detected by gas chromatography.
