Benzotriazole and oxanilide UV absorber hydrazides

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to compounds which incorporate both an ultraviolet light stabilizer and a hydrazide heat stabilizer functional groups. The ultraviolet light absorber can be either a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole derivative or an oxanilide derivative.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In addition to activity as a stabilizer on a molar basis (i.e., UV absorber, heat stabilizer, etc.), a successful stabilizer additive must have both excellent compatibility with and/or solubility in numerous polymer substrates, along with superior resistance to loss from the stabilized composition during procesing and end-use application. Many stabilizer additives exhibit limited compatibility in certain substrates, and excessive tendency to exude, sublime and/or volatilize during weathering or processing of stabilized compositions, particularly when use conditions require exposure to elevated temperatures. Because of this problem, several attempts have been made to increase the compatibility and reduce the volatility of such stabilizer additives by modifying their structure.
While improvements have been noted over the years, experience has shown that state-of-the-art stabilizers do not exhibit the desired combination of properties in all resins and that new polymeric compositions continue to invoke additional structural modifications on any potential heat and/or light stabilizer intended for use. Two examples of this would be in "high solids" coatings which require greater solubility of the stabilizer due to the use of less solvent, and in engineering thermoplastics where processing temperatures (in excess of 250.degree. C.) require the use of stabilizers with high thermal stability and very low volatility. No one stabilizer to date provides the properties necessary for universal application and there is a constant commercial need for new stabilizers offering a range of property advantages.
Systems which incorporate UV absorbers and other functional groups are known. Multifunctional stabilizers have been prepared by reacting one type of stabilizer with another to obtain a higher molecular weight compound having dual functionality or by reacting two or more stabilizers with a multifunctional coupling agent in a stepwise fashion.
Japanese Patent 73/43568 (Chemical Abstracts 81:122589s) discloses the use of a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole UV absorber and a hydrazide to give enhanced resistance to photodegradation of polyurethane copolymer fibers.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,785,063 discloses certain benzotriazole hydrazides and a copolymerizable acyl hydrazide derivative.

Utility
The novel stabilizers of this invention are very effective additives for the stabilization of polymeric compositions which are normally subject to thermal and actinic light degradation. At times it may be beneficial to add extraneous additives generally referred to hereinafter which will act as synergists with the UV absorber groups of the compounds of this invention.
As used herein, the terms "polymer" and "polymeric composition(s)" include homopolymers or any type of copolymers.
One way in which the 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole or oxanilide derivative stabilizers of the present invention can be used to stabilize polymeric compositions against degradative effects of light is by merely mixing or blending with the polymeric composition a compound of the present invention in an amount effective to stablize the polymer composition against the degradative effects of light. In this first process of stabilizing polymers, the polymeric compositions need not be, and typically are not, coreactive with the stabilizers. Thus, the stabilizers of the present invention are effective UV stabilizers even when mixed with inert polymers.
In addition to being useful in stabilizing inert polymeric compositions, the stabilizers of the present invention provide increased performance and more long-term stabilization when they are in the form of reactive additives which coreact with the polymeric compositions to be stabilized. The hydrazide functionalized UV absorbers of the present invention (where Y is NH.sub.2) are reactive additives that can be attached to coreactive polymers to form polymer bound additives containing photooxidative and thermaloxidative stabilizing groups. Once reacted with the coreactive polymers, the stabilizer groups become chemically bound to the polymers and will not be lost via volatilization, migration or extraction. Non-limiting examples of coreactive polymers are those which include ester, epoxide or anhydride groups, regardless of whether such groups form part of the polymer backbone, are at the end of the polymers or are pendant from the polymer backbone.
Thus, this second aspect of the present invention relates to a polymeric compound comprising the reaction product of (a) a polymer containing at least one ester, epoxide or anhydride functional group, or combinations thereof, in the polymer backbone, on grafted side chains, as a pendant unit or combinations thereof and (b) a UV absorber compound of Formulas I or II where R.sup.12 is hydrogen, R.sup.13 is hydrogen, Q is a direct bond and x and z are not 0.
The novel compounds of Formula III are ester precursors used as intermediates to make certain hydrazides of Formula I having corresponding structures and substituents.
The novel stabilizers of this invention can be blended with various polymeric compositions in high concentrations to form masterbatches which can then be blended with additional polymer either of the same or different type.
The amount of stabilizer used to stabilize the polymeric composition will depend on the particular polymer system to be stabilized, the degree of stabilization desired and the presence of other stabilizers in the composition. Normally it is advisable to have about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of the UV absorber moiety of the compound of this invention present in the polymeric composition. An advantageous range is from about 0.05% to about 3% by weight of the UV absorber portion of the molecule in the final composition. In some cases about 0.5% to about 1% by weight is sufficient.

Preparative Methods
The novel UV absorber hydrazides are prepared by reacting UV absorber-substituted carboxylic acid esters and halides, sulfonic acid esters and sulfonyl halides with hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate. Typically the ester is dissolved in a polar solvent and converted to the desired hydrazide by stirring with an equivalent amount or slight excess of hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate. The reaction may proceed at room temperature or may require heating. Preferably, the hydrazinolysis reaction is carried out in methanol or ethanol at about 10.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C., but other solvents, such as isopropanol or ethylene glycol, are also acceptable. In most cases the resulting hydrazides can be purified by recrystallization from the lower alcohols.

Non-limiting examples of suitable hydrazines include hydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, 35-85% hydrazine hydrate, methylhydrazine, ethylhydrazine, propylhydrazine, isopropylhydrazine, n-butylhydrazine, sec-butylhydrazine, n-amylhydrazine, sec-amylhydrazine, n-hexylhydrazine and n-octylhydrazine, t-butylhydrazine, phenylhydrazine, benzylhydrazine and sec-octylhydrazine.
Hydrazone derivatives of this invention are prepared by reacting the hydrazides with ketones, aldehydes or formaldehyde in inert solvents, preferably in hydrocarbon solvents under azeotropic conditions. They may also be prepared by reacting hydrazones of ketones or aldehydes with UV absorber-containing esters.
The novel carbamoyl and thiocarbamoyl derivatives are prepared by reacting the hydrazides with isocyanates, disocyanates, isothiocyanates or diisothiocyanates in aprotic polar solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide.
The reactions of hydrazides with ketones, aldehydes, isocyanates, diisocyanates, isothiocyanates, and diisothiocyanates are well known in the art and can occur under a wide variety of temperatures, times, solvents and concentrations. Generally a mole ratio of 0.9:1.0 to 1.1:1.0 of the hydrazide to the monofunctinal coreactant is employed. If the coreactant is difunctional, then a mole ratio of 1.8:2.0 to 1.1:1.0 of the hydrazide to the difunctional coreactant is employed. If the coreactant is a compound that can easily be removed from the product, e.g. acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, lower mole ratios may be desirable. The coreactant may be used as the solvent.
The hydrazides also react with unsubstituted or N-substituted amic acid esters in lower alcohol solutions to form 1,2-amoyl hydrazines. The reactions are normally carried out in refluxing alcohol (i.e. methanol) but may be carried out in higher boiling aprotic solvents or without solvent by heating a mixture of the two components above their melting points. The methyl and ethyl esters of N-substituted oxamates and succinamates are the preferred coreactants.
The novel acyl derivatives of the hydrazide may be prepared by reacting the esters with acid hydrazides in refluxing alcohol (i.e. methanol).
The novel alkoxycarbonyl, cycloalkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and aralkoxycarbonyl derivatives of the hdyrazides may be prepared by reacting the ester (as described above) with the corresponding alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl carbazates in refluxing alcohol (i.e. methanol). Alternately, these derivatives may be prepared by reacting the hydrazide with a disubstituted carbonate or substituted haloformate. When a haloformate is used, an additional base (inorganic or amine) may be used to react with the halogen acid formed.
The novel sulfonyl derivatives of the hydrazides may be prepared by reacting the esters with the corresponding sulfonyl hydrazide.
The novel alkyl derivatives of the hydrazides may be prepared by reacting the hydrazides with epoxides. The reactions are generally carried out neat or in a minimum amount of a high boiling solvent. Reaction generally occurs quite readily at about 140.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C.
The hydrazide group reacts with two equivalents of epoxide. The ratio of the unsubstituted hydrazide to the monoalkylated and dialkylated products is dependent upon the mole ratio of epoxide to hydrazide, the temperature and the concentration, if the reaction is run in a solvent.

As the THF distilled, it was replaced with xylene (200 ml). When the solution temperature reached 135.degree. C. the reaction was allowed to reflux 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 80.degree. C. and the solid was filtered and dried in air. The product weighed 7.5 g and had a m.p. of 198.degree.-210.degree. C. The infrared specturm showed a strong carbonyl band at 1635 cm.sup.-1.
EXAMPLE XVI-A
Preparation of 2-([2-hydroxy-3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5-methylphenyl]-methylamino)-2-oxo-N-(2-octadecylsuccinimido)acetamide
Octadecylsuccinic anhydride (17.6 g, 0.05 mole) and 250 ml xylene were combined in a 500 ml flask equipped with a Dean Stark water separation asembly. The mixture was warmed to 100.degree. C. for the incremental addition of the hydrazide of Example III (17.0 g, 0.05 mole). Each portion gelled the reaction mixture and the temperature was raised to 130.degree. C. between additions to thin the mixture. After completion, the reaction was refluxed for 1 hr. (collected 1.1 ml water). The reaction mixture was cooled to 80.degree. C. and the insolubles removed by filtration. Upon cooling to room temperature, some of the product precipitated and was isolated by filtration, giving 6.9 g of solid with a m.p. of 104.degree.-108.degree. C. The filtrate was stripped under reduced pressure, leaving a viscous liquid. The liquid was solidified by cooling on dry ice for 30 min. The fine light yellow solid weighed 19.0 g and had a m.p. of 106.degree.-110.degree. C. The combined product weighed 25.9 g. The infrared spectrum (xylene solution) showed two sharp carbonyl bands at 1735 and 1685 cm.sup.-1.

The mixture was cooled to 80.degree. C. for the addition of the hydrazide of Example III (17.0 g, 0.05 mole) incrementally over 90 minutes, allowing the hydrazide to dissolve between portions. After half the hydrazide was added, the reaction was heated to reflux to remove the water that formed. The reaction was cooled to 120.degree. C. for the addition of the remaining hydrazide. The reaction was refluxed with azeotropic removal of water for 2 hrs. The reaction was cooled to 120.degree. C. and the insolubles filtered, then cooled to room temperature and filtered again. The filtrate was stripped of solvent under reduced pressure to give 35.2 g of product having a m.p. of 156.degree.-160.degree. C. The infrared spectrum showed a weak carbonyl band at 1780 cm.sup.-1 (anhydride) and strong carbonyl bands at 1730 and 1685 cm.sup.-1.
EXAMPLE XX
Reaction of the Hydrazide of Example II with PA-18.TM.
PA-18.TM. (11.0 g, 0.031 maleic anhydride eq.) was dissolved in 250 ml hot xylene in a 500 ml flask equipped with a Dean Stark water separation assembly. The polymer solution was heated to reflux for the addition of the hydrazide of Example II (9.5 g, 0.025 mole) in 3 portions over 30 min. After the addition, the reaction was azeotropically distilled to remove water for 90 min. (0.4-0.45 ml water collected). The solution was cooled to 100.degree. C. and the solvent stripped under reduced pressure. The residue weighed 20.7 g and was pulverized in a mortar and pestle to form a light yellow powder (18.8 g). The infrared spectrum (xylene solution) showed a strong carbonyl band at 1725 cm.sup.-1 (imide).
