Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process to prepare a cyclic polyester oligonner composition comprising a cyclic polyester oligomer having furanic units, as well as said cyclic polyester oligomer composition obtainable by said process and the use of said cyclic polyester oligomer composition in the production of a polyester polymer.
- Polyesters are an important class of commercial polymers with useful physical and mechanical properties and numerous applications. Polyesters find wide utility, for example, as fibres, coatings, films, or in composites. Most industrial polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyacrylates are produced from monomers derived from petrochemical feedstocks. Due to limited oil reserves, fluctuations of oil price, political instability in some production areas, and increased environmental awareness, there is growing interest for biobased polyesters produced from renewable feedstocks.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PBT polybutylene terephthalate
- polyacrylates are produced from monomers derived from petrochemical feedstocks. Due to limited oil reserves, fluctuations of oil price, political instability in some production areas, and increased environmental awareness, there is growing interest for biobased polyesters produced from renewable feedstocks.
- PHA polyhydroxyalkanoates
- PLA polylactic acid
- PLA polylactic acid
- PBS polybutylene succinate
- PBS polymers based on sebacic or adipic acids
- biobased polymers having aromatic building blocks are highly sought today.
- An interesting class of biobased aromatic monomers are the furanics such as furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDA), 5- (hydroxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (HMFA), and 2,5-bis(hydroxyl methyl)furan (BHMF) , which may be prepared from the intermediates furfural (2-furan carboxaldehyde) and 5-hydroxymethyl 2-furan carboxaldehyde (HMF) which may be produced by the acid-catalyzed thermal dehydration of pentoses (C5) and hexoses (C6).
- FDA furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid
- HMFA 5- (hydroxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid
- HMF 2,5-bis(hydroxyl methyl)furan
- polyesters from furanic building blocks by polycondensation reactions involving heating a mixture of diols and diacids or diesters (monomers) at high temperatures in the presence of organometallic or acid catalyst is known, for example, from US 2,551 ,731 and US 8,143,355 B2.
- organometallic or acid catalyst To allow the progress in this equilibrium reaction towards the formation of the polymer, the formed water or side products such as alcohol must be removed, typically by reduced pressure or gas streams at elevated temperatures in the process. Therefore complex and costly reaction and devolatilization equipments effective at driving the reaction to completion, devolatilizing significant amounts of volatile compounds from highly viscous polymer melts, and having the capacity to remove and condense these volatile compounds are required. If the polycondensation and devolatilization is insufficient, then high molecular weight polyester having useful mechanical and other properties will not be produced.
- an object of the invention to provide a process to prepare alternative raw materials (a cyclic polyester oligomer having furanic units) for producing polyester polymers having furanic units and that do not suffer from the previous mentioned deficiencies, particularly a tendency to form large quantities of volatile side products such as water or alcohol, which requires complex and costly high-capacity devolatilization systems, especially when producing high molecular weight polyester polymers.
- a related object is provide such alternative raw materials that avoid thermal degradation and polymer discoloration due to harsh polymerization and devolatization conditions of high temperatures and long times.
- furanic units refers to furan derivatives such as those based on the monomers FDA, HMFA, BHMF and their partially or fully reacted mono-ester or diester derivatives. Having furanic units means that the fully or partially reacted derivative of such monomers is incorporated into the cyclic polyester oligomer. According to the invention, these objects are achieved by a process to prepare a cyclic polyester oligomer composition comprising a cyclic polyester oligomer having furanic units, wherein the process comprises:
- Ri OH, OR, halogen, or O-A-OH,

- a cyclic polyester oligomer composition obtainable by said process, wherein the composition contains less than 5, preferably 3, most preferably 1 weight % of linear oligomeric polyester species based on the total weight of the composition.
- Said cyclic polyester oligomer is used in accordance with the invention in the production of a polyester polymer.
- the present invention achieves these objects and provides a solution to this problem by means of a process to prepare a cyclic oligomer composition
- a cyclic oligomer composition comprising a cyclic polyester oligomer having furanic units and having either structure Y 1 or Y 2 .
- These cyclic oligomers are prepared by condensation reactions carried out to high conversion and with linear impurities removed, and thus they do not contain carboxylic acid or free OH groups, as would monomers such as 2,5-furandicarboxlic acid or ethylene glycol, propanediol or butanediol. Therefore the further reaction of the cyclic oligomers of the invention to form a high molecular weight polymer will not release large amounts of water as do those monomers.
- cyclic oligomers also do not contain esters of volatile monofunctional alcohols, as does 2,5- furandicarboxlic acid dimethyl or diethyl ester. Therefore the further reaction of these cyclic oligomers of the invention to form a high molecular weight polymer will not release large amounts of volatile alcoholic byproducts as do those monomers.
- the cyclic polyester oligomer conveniently allows a high molecular weight polymer to be prepared under relatively mild conditions of time and temperature for both the polymerization reaction and the devolatilization such that significant thermal degradation of the polymer composition may be avoided.
- the monomer component is C 1 and A is an optionally-substituted linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, I is an integer from 3 to 25, and m is an integer from 3 to 10, and the monomer component is D 1 and A is an optionally-substituted linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, X is a halogen, or optionally-substituted alkyloxy or phenoxy, and m is as defined above, and the monomer component is C 2 and wherein B is an optionally- substituted linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, I and m are integers as defined above, and n' is an integer from 2 to 10, OR the monomer component is D 2 , X is an OH, a halogen, or optionally-substituted alkyloxy, phenoxy, or aryloxy, B is an optionally-substituted linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, or phen
- optionally-substituted refers to chemical substituents that are different from hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl groups. Such optional substituents will be generally inert during the ring-closing oligomerization step and may be for example, halogens or ethers.

- n' and m are integers as defined above.
- This embodiment does not involve the reaction of acidic species, so the reaction kinetics and equilibrium are quite favourable and no water byproduct is produced.
- acidic monomer species, as well as their acid halide derivatives may be corrosive and thus require special expensive construction materials for the subsequent polymerization plant.
- either the monomer component is C 1 or C 2 and the reaction temperature is from 100 to 350, preferably 150 to 300, most preferably 180 to 280 °C, and wherein the reaction time is from 30 to 600, preferably, 40 to 400, most preferably 50 to 300 minutes, OR wherein the monomer component is D 1 or D 2 and the reaction temperature is from -10 to 150, preferably -5 to 100, most preferably 0 to 80 °C, and wherein the reaction time is from 5 to 240, preferably 10 to 180, most preferably 15 to 120 minutes. It has been found that such reaction times and temperatures for these monomer components are sufficient to allow the desired cyclic polyester oligomer composition to be produced in high yield but avoid the occurrence of significant formation of linear species or thermal degradation of the oligomer composition.

- Such embodiments have the advantage that these are commercial bases available on a large scale, and the inventors have found that their handling is convenient in the process of the invention.
- alkyl amine species beneficially neutralizes any acidic byproducts formed in the process.
- the optional catalyst is either absent or it is present as a metal alkoxide or metal carboxylate, preferably one of tin, zinc, titanium, or aluminium.
- a metal alkoxide or metal carboxylate preferably one of tin, zinc, titanium, or aluminium.
- the lack of a catalyst reduces the cost of raw materials and simplifies the purification and further use of the cyclic polyester oligomer.
- some metal-based catalysts have been found by the inventors to be highly effective in the process of the invention thus allowing the cyclic polyester oligomer compositions to be prepared under relatively mild conditions of temperature and time. This then improves productivity and minimizes degradation and discoloration in the process.
- the optional organic base E is present in a stoichiometric ratio of from 0.5 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, more preferably 2 to 3 mol relative to 1 mol of all monomer component species used as a reactant in the process.

- contamination is avoided of the polyester oligomer composition product by large quantities of unquenched residual catalysts, which may lead to degradation and/or discoloration in subsequent thermal processing such as polymerization or extrusion or molding of the resulting polymer. Also an effective balance between catalyst cost and productivity is obtained.
- the step (III) in which linear oligomeric polyester species having furanic units are separated and removed from the cyclic oligomeric composition comprises one or more separation sub-steps of passing a mobile phase of the cyclic oligomeric composition through a stationary phase, selective precipitation, distillation, extraction, crystallization or their combinations.

- the composition containing such low levels of linear species is advantageous in that the subsequent polymerization may be carried out efficiently and reproducibly.
- Large and/or variable levels of linear species in the cyclic oligomer composition may change the subsequent polymerization stoichiometry and thus affect the obtainable molecular weight upon polymerization.
- acidic, alcoholic, or ester end groups of linear species may react to disadvantageously release volatile species during polymerization.
- reactive acidic species may act to quench the basic catalysts and/or be corrosive to processing equipment.
- the content of residual monomer components, such as C 1 , D 1 , C 2 , or D 2 , in the cyclic polyester oligomer composition is less than 5, preferably 3, and most preferably 1 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.
- the cyclic polyester oligomer composition contains a halogenated impurity, preferably an acid chloride and/or its residue.
- a residue is defined here as a reaction product or byproduct, for example, a halogen acid such as HCI or a halogen salt such as a chloride salt.
- impurities are a byproduct of the use of acid halide reactants, such as acid chlorides, which have both more favourable kinetics and equilibrium in the production of the oligomer composition than does the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol.
- acid halide reactants such as acid chlorides
