PROCESS FOR PREPARING ORGANIC SILICON MONOMER
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a process for preparing a conductive high-molecular weight organic silicon monomer of Formula 1 or 2, containing thiophene as a main backbone and having a substitution of a five- or six-membered heterocyclic compound containing silicon (Si) in the 3,4 position of the thiophene ring:

[7] Even though there has yet been no report of a compound having the same chemical structure as the compound of the present invention, several researches and studies have been made on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene having a similar chemical structure as follows.
[8] Since the first synthesis of 3,4-dialkoxythiophene in 1910, from condensation of an thiodiacetic acid ester with an oxalic acid ester, followed by alkylation, saponification and decarboxylation, Fager et al conducted preparation of the above-mentioned thiophene in the presence of copper and chromium oxide catalysts in 1945 (E. Fager, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 67(1945), 2217-2218).
[9] In 1948, U.S. Patent No. 2,453, 103 introduced decarboxylation of
3,4-dimethoxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid at a high temperature of 18O0C using a special copper powder catalyst.
[10] In 1951, Overberger et al reported the synthesis of 3,4-dimethoxythiophene by de- carboxylation of 3,4-dimethoxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid at a temperature of 180 to 19O0C in the presence of a copper catalyst under solvent- free conditions (C. Overberger, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 73(1951), 2956-2957).
[11] In 1996, Merz et al developed a method for synthesis of dimethoxythiophene at a temperature of 25O0C, using 3,4-dimethoxythiophene dicarboxylic acid as a starting material without any reaction solvent and metal catalyst (J. Prakt. Chem., 338, 672-674). However, production of such a compound without use of the reaction diluent under high-temperature reaction conditions suffers from disadvantages associated with various additional processes for separation and purification of a desired compound from the reaction mixtures.
[12] In 1996, Coffey et al demonstrated that upon decarboxylation of dicarboxylic acid in the presence of a metal catalyst, the optimum reaction is carried out using 0.25 equivalents of a copper catalyst based on a start material, and a reaction temperature of 180 to 2000C (Synthetic Communications, 26(11), 2205-2212).
[13] However, such temperature conditions are affected by reaction sites and facilities to be employed, and there have been also raised various problems associated with a difficulty in industrial application thereof due to a low yield of 54%.
[14] Polythiophene has been used for various applications, for example as an antistatic agent, a substitute for a condenser electrolyte, a coating on printed circuit boards (PCBs), and a variety of electronic materials for fabrication of electro-luminescence (EL) devices. Polythiophene may exhibit various physical properties particularly by the introduction of substituent(s) into the 3,4-position of the thiophene ring.
[15] Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) having a broad industrial applicability as stated above is prepared from a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer unit.
[16] Therefore, it is important to develop a technique for preparation of the monomer
3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene. However, most of conventional arts involve high- temperature reaction conditions with essential use of a certain catalyst and thus suffer from production of reaction by-products due to such severe reaction conditions. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[17] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide synthesis of a conductive high- molecular weight monomer, i.e. a process for preparing a novel organic silicon monomer under milder reaction conditions without use of any catalyst, via the introduction of silicon atoms having the same bond order as that of existing carbon atoms but superior reactivity into the 3,4 position of the thiophene ring. Technical Solution [18] To accomplish the above object, the presenst invetion provides a process for preparing a conductive high-molecular weight organic silicon monomer, which comprises following four steps:
[19] As Step 1, condensation of dialkyl thioglycolate and dialkyl oxalate is carried out to recover an alcohol and prepare a 5-membered ring structure.
[20] As Step 2, an activated intermediate of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-dioxythiophene produced in Step 1 is reacted with 1,2-dichlorotetraalkyldisilane to synthesize 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisilylene dioxythiophene having a structure in which a thiophene ring is connected to a silicon-containing hetero ring.
[21] Step 2-1 is a the synthesis step of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisiloxylene dioxythiophene having a structure in which a thiophene ring is connected to a silicon- containing hetero ring, from the reaction of an activated intermediate of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-dioxythiophene produced in Step 1 with 1 ,3-dichloro- 1 , 1 ,3,3-tetraalkyldisiloxane.
[22] Step 3 is saponification of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisilylene dioxythiophene using an aqueous solution of an alkali metal salt having strong basicity. As the alkali metal salt, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are used. The subsequent process employs various kinds of acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
[23] Step 3-1 is saponification of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisiloxylene dioxythiophene using an aqueous solution of an alkali metal salt having strong basicity. As the alkali metal salt, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are used. The subsequent process employs various kinds of acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
[24] Finally, Step 4 is decarboxylation of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisilylene dioxythiophene, which is carried out under a reduced atmosphere to thereby obtain 3 ,4-tetraalkyldisilylene dioxythiophene.
[25] Step 4-1 is decarboxylation of 2,5-dicarboalkoxy-3,4-tetraalkyldisiloxylene dioxythiophene, which is carried out under a reduced atmosphere to thereby obtain 3 ,4-tetraalkyldisiloxylene dioxythiophene.

The reaction is carried out for 3 to 6 hours.

[78] EXAMPLES
[79] Now, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following Examples. These examples are provided only for illustrating the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope and spirit of the present invention.
[80] Example 1
[81] A IL 3-neck flask was equipped with an impeller stirrer, a reflux condenser and a dropping funnel and was then flame-dried with a nitrogen purge.
[82] 57.7 g (0.30 mol) of a 28% sodium methoxide solution and 25 g of methanol were placed and stirred in the 3-neck flask.
[83] A mixture of 30.7 g (0.15 mol) of 98% diethyl thioglycolate and 25.18 g (0.15 mol) of diethyl oxalate was placed in the dropping funnel and was then added dropwise at a temperature of 0 to 50C over 30 min.
[84] The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then stirred at 6O0C under reflux for another 3 hours to complete the reaction.
[85] When it begins to form a yellow diethyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate disodium salt, the solvent is refluxed by the exothermic reaction.
[86] After the reaction was complete, the reactants were cooled to room temperature and washed three times with 60 mL of methanol, followed by drying at a temperature of 60 to 7O0C under vacuum.
[87] 82 g (0.27 mol) of the thus-dried dialkyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate disodium salt and 550 g of ethanol were placed in a 2L reaction vessel having a plane ground joint and equipped with an impeller stirrer, a reflux condenser, a thermometer and a dropping funnel, and 50.55 g (0.27 mol) of 1,2-dichlorotetramethyldisilane and 50 g of ethanol were placed in the dropping funnel and were then added dropwise at 5O0C.
[88] Next, the reaction mixture was stirred at 8O0C under reflux for 2 hours, and the reaction vessel was cooled to room temperature and 600 mL of an aqueous 5% HCl solution was then gradually added thereto via the dropping funnel.
[89] The reaction mixture was extracted three times with 500 mL of chloroform and dried over magnesium sulfate, followed by removal of the solvent under vacuum.
[90] 800 mL of an aqueous potassium hydroxide (84 g, 1.50 mol) solution was added dropwise to the thus-obtained white solids, and the mixture was stirred at 7O0C under reflux for 2 hours, such that the mixture is completely dissolved.
[91] The solution of the reaction vessel was concentrated under vacuum to a total volume of 400 mL, and then 168 mL of cone. HCl was gradually added dropwise at O0C to thereby give white solids with completion of the reaction.
