Aromatic allene compounds of the formula (CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--O).sub.n --R--(A.sub.m in which R is an aromatic group and preparation thereof

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel aromatic allene compounds and preparation thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Public attention has been directed to phenoxyallene compounds and their polymerized products since a radical polymerization of phenoxyallene compound of the formula:
CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--O--C.sub.6 H.sub.5
was first reported in Polymer Preprints, Japan 35(2),133 (1986).
The publication also indicates certain substituted phenoxy allene compounds as cyano- or methoxy-substitued phenoxy allene compounds.
Such a compound has in its molecule an allenyl group in which 3 carbon atoms are connected in line with two separate double bonds, and therefore, it is radically polymerizable just as a vinyl monomer. Moreover, thus formed polymer includes, in its main chain, the following repeating units: ##STR1## and said vinyl ether group and allyl group are ionically or radically polymerizable with other vinyl monomers and said phenoxy group is still reactive with other materials.
Therefore, this polymer can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of other novel polymeric substances which are expected to be useful as resinous vehicle in paint and for other uses in various technical fields.
Nevertheless, the known aromatic allene compounds are quite limited in number.
An object of this invention is, therefore, to provide a novel class of aromatic allene compounds. An additional object is to provide an industrially and economically acceptable method for the preparation of such allene compounds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention, are provided novel aromatic allene compounds represented by the formula:
(CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--O--).sub.n --R--(A).sub.m (I)
wherein R represents a substituted or unsubstituted mono- or poly-valent benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, azobenzene, bisphenol or polyphenyl (containing 2 to 10 benzene rings connected in line) nucleus, or a group

in which each group Ph is a phenylene, halophenylene, alkylphenylene, cyanophenylene or alkoxyphenylene group, and the chain R.sup.1 linking the two groups Ph is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 aliphatic hydrocarbyl or an allcyclic hydrocarbyl group, the chain optionally being interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms); A is a carboxyl (--COOH) or sulphonyl (--SO.sub.3 H) group or a group --CH.dbd.C.dbd.CH.sub.2 ; n is an integer of from 1 to 10; m is 0, 1, 2 or 3 and the sum of m and n is equal to the valence of the group R, except to exclude the cases in which R is benzene, cyanobenzene or methoxybenzene and n is 1, m is 0.
More specifically, the invention provides the following novel aromatic allene compounds.
(A) Polycyclic phenoxyallene compounds of the formula:
(CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--O--).sub.n R
wherein R is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon residue selected from the group consisting of naphthalene, anthracene, polyphenyl having 2 to 10 benzene rings connected in line each other, azobenzene and their nuclear substituted derivatives; and n is an integer of 1 to 3. This class of polycyclic phenoxyallene compounds may be advantageously prepared by the method wherein a polycyclic phenol compound of the formula:
(HO--).sub.n R (in which R and n are as defined above) is reacted with a propargyl halide to obtain a propargyloxy polycyclic phenyl compound, which is then subjected to an allenylization under basic conditions.
As the starting materials, the following are advantageously used:
Polycyclic phenol compounds as, for example, .alpha.-naphthol, .beta.-naphthol, 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene, naphthoresorcin, 2-oxy-anthracene, 9-Oxyanthracene, 1,2-dioxyanthracene, 1,8-dioxyanthracene, 2,3-dioxyanthracene, 2,6-dioxyanthracene, 2,7dioxyanthracene, 1,9-dioxyanthracene, 9,10-dioxyanthracene, o-phenylphenol, m-phenylphenol, p-phenylphenol, 4,4'-biphenol, 2,2'-biphenol, p-hydroxyazobenzene, dioxy derivatives of polyphenyl having 2 to 10 benzene rings connected in line each other and their halogen, alkyl, cyano, alkoxy or acyl derivatives; and propargyl halides as propargyl bromide and the like.
The first step reaction may be advantageously carried out in the presence of alkali and the second isomerization reaction under basic conditions, as, for example, in the presence of potassium alcoholate of t-butanol.
(B) Phenoxy allene compounds bearing polar groups:
(CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--O--).sub.n R --(A).sub.m

This class of allene compounds may be advantageously prepared as in group (A) compounds, but using the phenols of the formula:
(HO--).sub.n --R--(A).sub.m
as the starting materials.
Examples of such phenols are o-hydroxy benzoic acid, m-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, p-hydroxy benzene sulfonic acid, o-cresol sulfonic acid, p-hydroxy benzene acetic acid, p-hydroxy benzene propionic acid, 1-naphthol-2-carboxylic acid, 2-naphthol-3-carboxylic acid, 2-naphthol-6-carboxylic acid, 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid, 1-naphthol-8-sulfonic acid, 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 1-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid, 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid, 2,2'-biphenol-3-carboxylic acid, 4-hydroxybiphenyl-3-carboxylic acid, 2-hydroxybiphenyl-3-carboxylic acid, 2-(4'hydroxybenzeneazo)-benzoic acid, 2,2'-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1carboxylpropane and the like.
(C) Polyfunctional phenoxy allene compounds:
CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--O--Ph--R.sup.1 --Ph--O--CH.dbd.C.dbd.CH.sub.2
wherein Ph stands for phenyl group, halogenated phenyl group, alkyl substituted phenyl group, cyano substituted phenyl group or alkoxy substituted phenyl group; R.sup.1 is a member selected from aliphatic hydrocarbons having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alicyclic hydrocarbons, aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons containing one or more ether bonds. This class of phenoxy allene compounds may also be prepared as in the group (A) compounds, using a polyphenol compound the formula:
HO--Ph--R.sup.1 --Ph--OH
and a propargyl halide as starting materials.
Examples of such polyphenol compounds are bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)methane, bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, bis(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl) methane, bis(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)methane, bis(2-hydroxy-6-methylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)methane, bis(3-hydroxy- 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methane, bis(2-hydroxy-4-propylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-propylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2 -methyl-6-ethylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)methane, bis(2-hydroxy-4-tert-butylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-isopropylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-6-isopropylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-tert-butyl-5-methylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-chlorophenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2,6-dichlorophenyl)methane, bis(2-hydroxy-4-bromophenyl)methane, bis(3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-2,6-dibromophenyl)propane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane and the like.
(D) Polyvalent allene compounds of the formula: ##STR2## wherein X is hydrogen atom, halogen atom, alkyl group, cyano group or alkoxy group; n is an integer of 1 to 4; m is 0 or 1 or 2; p is 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, providing m+n.gtoreq.2, and m+n+p=6.
This class of allene compounds may be advantageously prepared by either one of the following methods:
(1) The first method comprises the combination of steps of reacting one mole of a phenol compound of the formula: ##STR3## in which X is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a cyano group or an alkoxy group; n is an integer of 1 to 4; and p is 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, providing that the sum of n and p is 6, with n+m moles (in which m is 0 or 1 or 2; n is an integer of 1 to 4, providing m+n.gtoreq.2) of propargyl halide to give a phenyl propargyl ether of the formula: ##STR4## (in which X,n,p and m are as defined above, providing m+n.gtoreq.2, and m+n+p=6) and subjecting thus obtained phenylpropargylether to an allenylization under basic conditions.
(2) The second method comprises reacting one mole of phenylpropargylether of the formula: ##STR5## (in which X is hydrogen atom, halogen atom, alkyl group, cyano or alkoxy; n is an integer of 1 to 4, p is 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, providing the sum of n and p is 6) with m moles (m=l or 2) of propargyl halide through a Friedel Crafts reaction, to give a polyvalent propargyl compound of the formula: ##STR6## (in which X,n and p are as defined above, m is 1 or 2 and m+n+p=6) and subjecting thus obtained propargyl compound to an allenylization under basic conditions.
When a large excess amount of halogenated propargyl are reacted with a phenol compound, there is a possibility of forming certain amounts of by-products in which only a part of the hydroxyl groups are changed to propargylethers and where there still remains an amount of unchanged hydroxyl groups. However, such by-products may be easily separated out by using a thin layer chromatography and the like.
A Friedel Crafts reaction of said phenoxypropargylether with a propargyl halide may be easily carried out in an inert solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst as an anhydrous aluminium chloride and one or two propargylo groups may be effectively introduced in the phenyl nucleus. The allenylization of propargyl group may be easily carried out by using potassium alcoholate of t-butanol under basic conditions.
These allene compounds are all novel and are very useful as the reactive monomers for the preparation of vinyl resins, since they can be homopolymerized or copolymerized with other known .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated compounds.
As already mentioned, they can easily be obtained by a generic method comprising reacting a phenol with a propargyl halide and converting thus obtained phenylpropargylether to an allene compound through an isomerization in the presence of potassium alcoholate of t-butanol under basic conditions. However, the same compounds can also be synthesized more economically without using an expensive propargyl halide. That is, in a more advantageous method, a propargyl alcohol is directly reacted with a phenol or an alkali metal phenolate of the formula:
R--OX
in which R is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon residue; and X is hydrogen or alkali metal, in the presence of a dehydration agent selected from dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-cupric chloride, azodicarboxylic acid ester-triphenylphosphine, triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride and hexamethylphosphorous triamide phosphonium base, to give a propargylarylether of the formula:
R--O--CH.sub.2 --C.tbd.CH
and the thus obtained propargylarylether is subsequently subjected to allenylization under basic conditions. Among the abovementioned dehydration agents, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-cupric chloride system is particularly useful for the reaction of phenol and propargyl alcohol, and other members are for the reaction of alkali metal phenolate and propargyl alcohol.
In the actual reaction, the abovementioned phenol, propargyl alcohol, and dehydration agent are placed in an appropriate inert solvent as, for example, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, xylene, ester or the like, and reacted at a room temperature to 120 .degree. C., preferably 50.degree. to 100.degree. C. This reaction may be smoothly proceeded to give the arylpropargylether, which is then treated, for example, with potassium alcoholate of t-butanol to give the desired allene compound in a very higher reaction yield.

The invention shall be now more fully explained in the following examples. Unless otherwise being stated, all parts and % are by weight.
