Description
CYCLOADDITION POLYMERIZATION OF TETRAZINES TO AFFORD
POLYARYLENE DERIVATIVES
CROSS REFERENCE
|00011 This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 62/317,050, filed April 01, 2016, the specification(s) of which is/are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
|0002| The present invention relates to methods of preparing polyarylenes, in particular, the cycloaddition polymerization of disubstituted tetrazines with dialkynylarene comonomers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
|0003| Polyarylenes are attractive polymers that can exhibit exceptional mechanical and optical and superior chemical and thermal stability as compared to most organic polymers. This greater chemical stability makes these materials attractive for fuel cell, battery, gas separation, water purification, and chemical separation membranes. Unfortunately, preparation of polyarylenes, such as para-polyphenylene, is limited to oligomers due to the insolubility of the polymers from pi stacking and crystallization. Most of these polymers, such as Kevlar® and polybenzimidazole, can only be synthesized as fibers directly from a polymerization vat. This is due to the fact that the same high crystallinity and pi-stacking of the rings that make these materials thermally stable also make them insoluble in any solvent once they have been solidified or precipitated. Currently, it is not possible to thermally process these polymers to make structural materials, molded artifacts, or films.
|0004| To overcome this, substituted polyphenylenes have been prepared using noble metal catalyzed reactions or cycloaddition polymerizations. The presence of substituents permits these materials to be soluble and processable. For example, polyphenylenes, such as PrimoSpire® by Solvay, are commercially available polymers that are the strongest bulk, non-fiber polymers made to date. PrimoSpire® polymers are synthesized via a platinum catalyzed Suzuki polymerization of monomers with bulky substituents designed to keep the polymers soluble and processable by blocking
crystallization and pi-stacking. This route is expensive due to its use of platinum catalysts and complicated monomers.
|0005] Polymerizations involving [4+2] cycloadditions are particularly attractive for making polyarylenes, however, the monomers, such as bis-cyclopentadienone or bis- alpha-pyrones, are often difficult to synthesize. For example, polyarylenes prepared by Diels-Alder cycloaddition polymerization of bis-cyclopentadienone monomers with bis- acetylene comonomers has been widely used in research and is used commercially to make low-k dielectric coatings for computer chips. However, bis-cyclopentadienone monomers are expensive to make and further requires a large number of phenyl groups on each cyclopentadienone ring to prevent the monomer from undergoing cycloaddition with another cyclopentadienone prior to mixing with another co-monomer and forming undesirable materials. Hence, there exist a need for new methods of preparing high molecular weight polyarylenes from relatively inexpensive precursors that allows for control over the type and number of substituents.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
|0006| The present invention features methods of synthesizing polyarylenes by the cycloaddition polymerization of disubstituted tetrazines with dialkynylarene comonomers bearing alkyne and pyridazine groups, as specified in the independent claims. Embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims. Embodiments of the present invention can be freely combined with each other if they are not mutually exclusive.
|0007| In one embodiment, the present invention features a method of producing a polyarylene compound. The method may comprise polymerizing a plurality of tetrazine monomers with a plurality of alkynyl comonomers. Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, a tetrazine moiety of each tetrazine monomer reacts with two alkynyl moieties of the alkynyl comonomers to undergo a double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, thereby producing the polyarylene compound.
|0008] In another embodiment, the present invention features a polyarylene compound prepared from a plurality of tetrazine monomers and a plurality of alkynyl comonomers. A tetrazine moiety of each tetrazine monomer reacts with two alkynyl moieties of the
alkynyl comonomers to undergo a double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction to produce the polyarylene compound.
|0009| The inventors have surprisingly discovered that tetrazines can serve as a bis- diene equivalent in cycloaddition polymerizations with bis-dienophiles, such as bis- alkyne comonomers, without concern of self-condensation. This is the first report of successfully polymerizing tetrazines via cycloaddition polymerizations. Without wishing to limit the invention to any theory or mechanism, it is believed that the technical feature of the present invention advantageously provides for a less expensive method for synthesizing substituted polyarylenes. None of the presently known prior references or work has the unique inventive technical feature of the present invention.
|0010| Any feature or combination of features described herein are included within the scope of the present invention provided that the features included in any such combination are not mutually inconsistent as will be apparent from the context, this specification, and the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art. Additional advantages and aspects of the present invention are apparent in the following detailed description and claims.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
|00ii I As known to one of ordinary skill in the art, a polyarylene is a molecule comprising primarily of a plurality of phenyl groups covalently linked together. As used herein, a polyarylene compound or polyarylene polymer is defined as a polymer having a polyarylene backbone. In some embodiments, the polyarylene backbone may have other substituents or functional groups linked thereto.
|0012| As previously described, biscyclopentadienone monomers must have a plurality of aryl groups, e.g. four aryl groups, on each cyclopentadienone ring in order to synthesize polyarylenes by Diels Alder cycloaddition polymerization. A reaction schematic thereof is shown in Scheme 1.
|0013| Scheme 1. Cycloaddition polymerization of bis-cyclopentadienones.
[0014] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the 1,2,4,5-tetrazines can be relatively easy to prepare from organic nitriles or guanidine and hydrazine. Furthermore, the tetrazines may be prepared with substituents at the 3 and 6 positions, such as organic groups (through C-C bonds), halides, amines, thiol ethers, and ethers. The result of these monomers copolymerizing with diethynylbenzene affords 3,6- disubstituted poly(biphenylenes), as shown in Scheme 2. Additional substituents can be incorporated into the second aromatic ring using disubstituted alkynes in the dialkynyl comonomer.
|0015| Scheme 2. Cycloaddition polymerization of tetrazine with bis-alkynyl comonomers.
|0016| Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, the polymerizations involve a cycloaddition reaction of the tetrazine to afford a bicyclic cycloadduct that subsequently loses a molecule of nitrogen gas in a retro [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, also called a cheletropic elimination. The result is a pyridazine group with two nitrogen atoms in the aromatic ring and a pendant aryl group with another ethynyl group. The pyridazine group can also undergo a cycloaddition reaction with an ethynyl group to afford a bicyclic cycloadduct that loses a second equivalent of nitrogen via the cheletropic elimination. Scheme 3 illustrates this reaction mechanism. In reactions of tetrazines with diethynyl arenes, these cycloadditions lead to the
formation of linear macromolecules. To the inventor's knowledge, this is the first time that the cycloaddition polymerization of tetrazines has been observed and used to afford polyarylenes of any sort.
|0017| Scheme 3. A non-limiting example of the cycloaddition mechanism of the present invention.
|0018| Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, the variety of different functional groups that can be incorporated at the 3 and 6 positions allows an unprecedented range of new polyarylenes or polybiphenylenes to be prepared. In contrast to the bis-pyrone and bis-cyclopentadienone monomer, many more tetrazines can also be prepared. For example, 3, 6-dichlorotetrazine can be converted into amine, ether, or thioether derivatives. Many of these functional groups allow the polymers to be further modified to afford polyphenylene electrolytes, water soluble polymers, fluorescent polymers, or UV absorbing polymers with the strength and stability of the aromatic backbone. In some embodiments, these materials may be used in light emitting diodes or photovoltaic applications. Modifications to the nature of the dialkynylarene can also allow for tuning of the level of substitution, substitution geometry, and backbone configuration. For example, 4,4'-diethynylbiphenyl can result in 3,6-disubstituted polyterphenylenes.
|0019| According to some embodiments, the present invention features a method of producing a polyarylene compound. The method may comprise polymerizing a plurality of tetrazine monomers with a plurality of alkynyl comonomers. In one embodiment, a tetrazine moiety of each tetrazine monomer reacts with two alkynyl moieties of the
alkynyl comonomers to undergo a double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, thereby producing the polyarylene compound. Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, the method is effective for producing the polyarylene compound that exhibits improved mechanical and optical properties, and improved chemical and thermal stability, as compared to non-polyarylene polymers.
|0020| In one embodiment, each tetrazine monomer may be according to the following:
where Ri and R2 are each a halide, thiol, ester, carboxylate, amine, ether, thioether, heteroaromatic, phenyl, alkyl, or alkene ether. In another embodiment, the tetrazine monomers are selected from a group consisting of the following:
|00211 In one embodiment, each alkynyl comonomer may comprise one alkynyl moiety, and each tetrazine monomer can react with two alkynyl comonomers to undergo the double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction. In another embodiment, each alkynyl comonomer may be a bis-alkyne comonomer, and each tetrazine monomer can react with the bis- alkyne comonomer to undergo the double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction. In yet another embodiment, the alkynyl comonomers may be alkynylarene comonomers or dialkynylarene comonomers. Examples of the alkynylarene comonomers include, but are not limited to, phenylacetylene comonomers. In a further embodiment, the dialkynylarene comonomers are according to the following structure:
where R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen, trimethylsilyl, or phenyl. Examples of the dialkynylarene comonomers include, but are not limited to, 1 ,4-diethynylbenzene, 1,3- diethynylbenzene, 1 ,4 bis(trimethylsilyl ethynyl)benzene, or 1 ,4-di(phenylethynyl)- benzene comonomers.
|0022| In some embodiments, the method of making a polyarylene compound may comprise adding a tetrazine monomer as a diene of a Diels-Alder reaction in a reaction vessel, and adding an alkynyl comonomer as a dienophile of the Diels-Alder reaction in the same reaction vessel. The mixture is then mixed to generate the polyarylene compound.
|0023| According to another embodiment, the present invention features a polyarylene compound prepared from a plurality of tetrazine monomers and a plurality of alkynyl comonomers. Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, a tetrazine moiety of each tetrazine monomer reacts with two alkynyl moieties of the alkynyl comonomers to undergo a double [4+2] cycloaddition reaction to produce the polyarylene compound. In preferred embodiments, the polyarylene compound exhibits improved mechanical and optical properties, and improved chemical and thermal stability, as compared to non-polyarylene polymers.
|0024| In some embodiments, each tetrazine monomer may be according to the following:
where Ri and R2 are each a halide, thiol, ester, carboxylate, amine, ether, thioether, heteroaromatic, phenyl, alkyl, nitrile, or alkene ether. In other embodiments, the tetrazine monomers are selected from a group consisting of the following:
where R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen, trimethylsilyl, or phenyl. Examples of the dialkynylarene comonomers include, but are not limited to, 1 ,4-diethynylbenzene, 1,3- diethynylbenzene, 1 ,4 bis(trimethylsiiyi ethynyl)benzene, or 1 ,4-di(phenylethynyl)- benzene comonomers.
|0026| According to another embodiment, the present invention features a mixture of regioisomers of a polyarylene compound. In some embodiments, the regioisomers are according to the following structures:
where R5, Re. Rg. and R10 are each a halide, thiol, ester, carboxylate, amine, ether, thioether, heteroaromatic, phenyl, alkyl, nitrile, or alkene ether, where R7, Re, Rn, and R12 are each a hydrogen or aryl, and where m = 5-10,000 and n = 5-10,000. In preferred embodiments, the mixture of regioisomers is effective for increasing a solubility of the polyarylene compound.
|0027| In one embodiment, at least two equivalent of nitrogen gas is produced during the reaction of a tetrazine component and a bisalkynyl component for every equivalent of tetrazine used. In the present invention, a carbon dioxide gas is not produced during the
reaction of a tetrazine component and a bisalkynyl component. Therefore, the polymer material formed by the reaction of a tetrazine component and a bisalkynyl component can be considered a greener material.
|0028] In some embodiments, the regiochemistry of the cycloaddition polymerization may nominally give a mixture of para and meta isomeric linkages in the polymer backbone. This can undoubtedly make these materials more soluble than a strictly para regiopolymer. In preferred embodiments, a mixture of two regioisomers of the polyarylene backbone is produced. For example, the mixture may comprise a meta- polyarylene backbone and a para-polyarylene backbone, which increase the solubility of the polyarylene polymers. In further embodiments, the present invention allows for the ability control the cydoadditions to allow block, triblock, star polymers, branched and thermoset polyarylenes to be prepared.
|0029] In some embodiments, the cycloaddition reaction to synthesize the polyarylenes may be conducted in polar aprotic or organic solvents. In other embodiments, the reaction may be performed at a wide range of temperatures. For example, the temperature can be as low as 120°C or as high as 240°C.
|0030| In one embodiment, the cycloaddition reaction is performed at ambient pressures. In another embodiment, the reaction is performed at higher pressures, such as, for example, about 0.7 to 2 GPa. Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, the cycloaddition reaction may be accelerated by orders of magnitude with the application of high pressure (> 0.7 GPa). In one embodiment, the synthesis of the polyarylene material may be conducted in a high pressure reactor.
|003i| In a preferred embodiment, the polyarenes can be prepared to have molecular weights greater than 1 MegaDalton (106 g/mole). In more preferred embodiments, the resulting polymers may be soluble and processable into films and fibers. In still other embodiments, the polyarylene polymer may be a foam. For example, the polymer may be a thermoset foam where molten precursors are mixed and the reaction increases the molecular weight and generates nitrogen to foam the growing and hardening polymer. Small amounts of tri-ethynyl precursors may also be used to crosslink the foam. Without wishing to limit the invention to a particular theory or mechanism, the polyarylene
material can have improved mechanical and optical properties and improved chemical and thermal stability, as compared to non-polyarylene organic polymers.
|0032] According to some embodiment, the present invention may be utilized as an inexpensive material in applications including, but not limited to, high strength fibers, self-reinforced structural polymers, membranes for chemical, gas and water purification, OLED, and photovoltaics.
