The invention is related to a composition containing an unsaturated isocyanate compound, a method of producing the composition, and a method of producing an unsaturated compound.
This application claims priority under Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-154145 filed Aug. 20, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Conventionally, a unsaturated compound is produced by reacting an unsaturated isocyanate compound with a compound having active hydrogen (compound having functional group having active hydrogen). These unsaturated compounds include, for example, unsaturated urethane compounds, unsaturated thiourethane compounds, unsaturated urea compounds, unsaturated amide compounds, and the like. The unsaturated compound thus produced is used in various applications.
For example, there is an unsaturated urethane compound produced by reacting 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (hereinafter, this may be referred to as “MOI”. An example of a specific product is “KarenzMOI(registered trademark)”.) which is an unsaturated isocyanate compound with a polyalkylene glycol which is a compound having a hydroxyl group. There are known methods for producing the unsaturated isocyanate compound, such as a method for reacting an amine having an ethylenic double bond with phosgene to decompose the amine by heating (for example, see Patent Document 1). The unsaturated urethane compound is proposed to be used as a material for contact lenses (for example, see Patent Document 2), a material for solid solvents of polymer solid electrolytes (for example, see Patent Document 3.), and a material for immobilizing biological materials (for example, refer to Patent Documents 4 and 5).
Further, Patent Document 6 discloses an unsaturated urea compound obtained by reacting MOI with an organopolysiloxane having amino groups at both ends of the molecule. Patent Document 6 discloses using the unsaturated urea compound as a material for a radiation-curable adhesive organopolysiloxane composition.
Patent Document 7 discloses a urethane acrylate synthesized by reacting an unsaturated isocyanate compound such as MOI with a product obtained by reacting a dimer diol with a polyisocyanate. Further, Patent Document 7 discloses a curable composition containing the urethane acrylate.
Examples of the unsaturated isocyanate compound used as a material of the unsaturated compound include acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (hereinafter referred to as “AOI”.) and methacryloyl isocyanate (hereinafter referred to as “MAI”.) in addition to MOI. MOI, AOI, and MAI are industrially manufactured, commercially available, and readily available.
MOI is synthesized by the reaction of isopropenyloxazoline or 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride with phosgene. AOI is synthesized by the reaction of 2-vinyloxazoline or 2-aminoethylacrylate hydrochloride with phosgene. MAI is synthesized by the reaction of methacrylic amide with oxalyl chloride.
The unsaturated isocyanate compound synthesized as described above includes impurities such as by-products and catalyst residues. For this reason, after the unsaturated isocyanate compound is synthesized, an operation for removing impurities to increase the purity is generally performed (for example, see Patent Documents 8 and 9.).
The quality of the synthesized unsaturated isocyanate compound is conventionally determined by various methods. Specifically, there are a method for confirming the appearance of the unsaturated isocyanate compound such as the presence or absence of turbidity and hue, a method for confirming the purity of the unsaturated isocyanate compound by using gas chromatography, a method for confirming the hydrolyzable chlorine content in the unsaturated isocyanate compound by potentiometric titration, and a method for confirming a soluble impurity in the unsaturated isocyanate compound by using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (see, for example, Patent Document 10.).
Generally, in order to stably transport and store the unsaturated isocyanate compound, a polymerization inhibitor is added to the unsaturated isocyanate compound. As the polymerization inhibitor, hydroquinone or the like is used and is added at a concentration of several tens to several hundred ppm. For example, Patent Document 7 discloses that, when an unsaturated urethane compound is synthesized using an unsaturated isocyanate compound, a polymerization inhibitor is added in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the total weight components.
Conventional unsaturated isocyanate compounds may cause unexpected viscosity increases or gelation during storage and/or transport, even though there is no significant difference in quality by using conventional determination methods. Therefore, it has been required to improve the stability during storage.
In addition, the conventional unsaturated isocyanate compound does not show a large difference in quality by using the conventional determination method, but when the unsaturated compound is produced by using the same, the viscosity of the reaction product is sometimes rapidly increased or gelatinized during production. Therefore, it has been required to improve the stability in use.
In order to improve the storage stability and the utilization stability of the unsaturated isocyanate compound, a sufficient amount of a polymerization inhibitor may be added to the unsaturated isocyanate compound.
However, when a large number of polymerization inhibitors are added to an unsaturated isocyanate compound, a colored component caused by the polymerization inhibitor is easily generated together with the unsaturated compound when the unsaturated compound is produced using the unsaturated isocyanate compound as a raw material (for example, see Non-patent Document 1.). Therefore, the produced unsaturated compound may be colored.
An object of the present invention is to provide a composition excellent in stability during storage and stability during use, and a method of producing the composition.
In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have diligently investigated. As a result, it was found that a compound having a specific structure (hereinafter referred to as “specific compound”) contained as an impurity in the unsaturated isocyanate compound after purification is one of the causes of deterioration of the storage stability and the stability during use of the unsaturated isocyanate compound. Further, the inventors of the present invention have repeatedly studied and found that the concentration of the specific compound in the unsaturated isocyanate compound has a correlation with the viscosity increase and the occurrence of gelation of the unsaturated isocyanate compound during storage.
However, a purification process for removing the specific compound from the unsaturated isocyanate compound has not been known. Therefore, the present inventors have studied a purification process for removing the specific compound from an unsaturated isocyanate compound. As a result, it was found that the specific compound can be removed from the unsaturated isocyanate compound by purification by a distillation process at a reflux ratio of 2.0 to 4.0, a pressure of 1.0 to 10.0 kPa, and a distillation temperature of 90 to 140° C.
Further, the inventors examined the viscosity increase and gelation during storage of the unsaturated isocyanate compound purified by the distillation process at the reflux ratio, the pressure and the distillation temperature. As a result, it has been found that the viscosity increase and gelation can be suppressed by setting the concentration of the specific compound in the unsaturated isocyanate compound to 0.2 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the unsaturated isocyanate compound.

Accordingly, the composition of the present invention, in which the compound (B) is sufficiently removed from the mixture, can be produced in high yield, wherein the compound (B) affects the stability during storage and the stability during use.
The method of producing the unsaturated compound includes steps of mixing the composition of the invention with a compound having active hydrogen and reacting the compound (A) contained in the composition with the compound having active hydrogen to obtain a reaction product. In the method of producing the unsaturated compound of the present invention, since the composition used as a material contains 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), rapid increase in viscosity or gelation of the reaction product is unlikely generated during production, and excellent productivity is obtained.

When the content of the compound (A) in the composition is 95.0% by mass or more, it can be suitably used as a raw material for producing an unsaturated compound. When the content of the compound (A) is 99.9% by mass or less, the composition can be efficiently produced by a method of purification by a distillation process, which is preferable. The content of the compound (A) in the composition of the present embodiment is not limited to the above, and can be optionally selected as necessary.

In the present embodiment, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) are contained in the composition. Since the content of the compound (B) in the composition is 0.2 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), excellent stability in storage and stability in use can be obtained. With respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), the content of the compound (B) in the composition is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.05 parts by mass or less in order to further improve the stability during storage and the stability during use. Further, since the content of the compound (B) in the composition is 0.00002 parts by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), a yield in producing the compound (A) can be ensured, and the composition can be produced in a high yield. The content of the compound (B) in the composition is preferably 0.0002 parts by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A) in order to further improve the yield of the compound (A).

Thus, the contact of the compound (A) in the composition after distillation with water is prevented, and the increase of the compound (B) in the composition is suppressed. As a result, stability during storage and stability during use are improved.
“Method for Producing Composition”
The method of producing the composition of the present embodiment comprises a step of producing a mixture which contains a compound (A) represented by general formula (1) and a compound (B) represented by general formula (2) and which containing more than 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), and a step of purifying the mixture by a distillation process at a reflux ratio of 2.0 to 4.0, a pressure of 1.0 to 10.0 kPa, and a distillation temperature of 90 to 140° C. to obtain a purified product containing 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A). In the step of purifying the mixture, it is preferable to perform purification by the distillation process to obtain a purified product having a content of the compound (A) of 95.0% by mass or more and a content of the compound (B) of 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A).
(Step of Producing Mixture)
As a method of producing a mixture which contains a compound (A) and a compound (B) and which contains more than 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), for example, a method of producing a compound (A) by using a conventionally known method of producing the compound (A) and simultaneously producing the compound (B) as a by-product may be used.
Specifically, for example, an unsaturated carboxylic acid aminoalkyl ester hydrochloride is synthesized by the reaction of an unsaturated carboxylic acid chloride with an amino alcohol hydrochloride. Next, an unsaturated carboxylic acid isocyanatoalkyl ester as a compound (A) is produced by reacting an unsaturated carboxylic acid aminoalkyl ester hydrochloride with carbonyl chloride. At the same time, a method of producing a compound (B), as a by-product, which is an impurity yielded by substituting a part of the isocyanato group (—NCO) of the compound (A) with —NHC(═O)—R1 (R1 is the same group as the ethylenically unsaturated group forming the unsaturated carboxylic acid isocyanatoalkyl ester.) can be used.
The mixture of the compound (A) and the compound (B) thus obtained generally contains more than 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A).
(Purifying Step)
In the present embodiment, the mixture containing the compound (A) and the compound (B) thus obtained is purified by distillation process at a reflux ratio (reflux/distillate) of 2.0 to 4.0, a pressure of 1.0 to 10.0 kPa, and a distillation temperature of 90 to 140° C., and the compound (A) is recovered as a low-boiling component. As a result, a purified product (composition) containing 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A) are obtained. Since the compound (A) is usually a liquid, no solvent is required.
In the present embodiment, since the mixture is purified by the distillation process at the reflux ratio of 2.0 to 4.0, the compound (B) can be efficiently removed. When the reflux ratio is less than 2.0, since the physical properties of the compound (A) and the compound (B) are similar, the compound (B) cannot be sufficiently removed, and the content of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A) does not fall below 0.2 parts by mass. The reflux ratio is preferably 2.5 or more in order to further reduce the content of the compound (B). When the reflux ratio is 4.0 or less, the purification step can be carried out efficiently in a short time, the yield of the compound (A) in the composition can be sufficiently ensured, and the composition can be produced in a high yield. The reflux ratio is preferably 3.5 or less in order to perform the purification step more efficiently and further improve the yield of the compound (A).
In this embodiment, the distillation temperature in the purification step is 90° C. to 140° C. When the distillation temperature is less than 90° C., the compound (A) and the compound (B) cannot be sufficiently separated, and the content of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A) does not become 0.2 parts by mass or less. Further, when the distillation temperature is 140° C. or lower, the compound (A) is not lost more than necessary, the yield of the compound (A) can be ensured, and the purifying step can be efficiently performed. In order to sufficiently remove compound (B) and to improve the yield of compound (A), the distillation temperature is preferably from 100° C. to 130° C., and more preferably from 110° C. to 120° C.
In this embodiment, the pressure at the time of distillation in the purification step is 1.0 to 10.0 kPa, and preferably 1.0 to 6.0 kPa. When the pressure is 1.0 kPa or more, a flooding phenomenon is unlikely generated at a distillation temperature of 90 to 140° C., and a stable distillation state is easily maintained. When the pressure is 10.0 kPa or less, the compound (A) and the compound (B) are easily separated at a distillation temperature of 140° C. or less, and the loss of the compound (A) due to increasing the distillation temperature is preferably suppressed.
When the distillation process is performed in the purifying step, a polymerization inhibitor may be added to the mixture before heating of the mixture is started. By adding the polymerization inhibitor to the mixture before starting the heating of the mixture, the mixture is prevented from gelation by polymerization due to the temperature rise accompanying the distillation.
The polymerization inhibitor added to the mixture is partially removed by distillation process. The polymerization inhibitor remaining in the composition after the distillation process prevents the composition from gelation during storage and transportation of the composition and contributes to improvement of stability during storage of the composition. The polymerization inhibitor may optionally be added to the composition obtained after the distillation process.
Specific examples of polymerization inhibitors include hydroquinone, methoxyhydroquinone, catechol, p-tert-butylcatechol, cresol, 2,6-ditert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), phenothiazine, 2,6-di-t-butyl-p-cresol and the like.
[Method for Producing Unsaturated Compound]
The method of producing an unsaturated compound according to the present embodiment includes a step of mixing the composition with a compound having active hydrogen and reacting the compound (A) contained in the composition with the compound having active hydrogen to obtain a reaction product.
In the present embodiment, the compound (A) contained in the composition used as the material of the unsaturated compound can be appropriately selected according to the structure of the unsaturated compound.
The active hydrogen in the compound having the active hydrogen is a hydrogen atom bonded to a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or the like, and exhibits high reactivity as compared with a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom. The compound having active hydrogen is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the structure of the unsaturated compound.
For example, when a compound having an active hydrogen-containing group, such as a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, an amino group (including cyclic amines, amides and imides), and a carboxy group, is used as the active hydrogen-containing compound, the following reaction product (unsaturated compound) is obtained by the following reaction.
When a compound (A) contained in the composition is reacted with a compound having a hydroxyl group, the isocyanate group of the compound (A) reacts with the hydroxyl group to form an unsaturated urethane compound. In this embodiment, the unsaturated urethane compound means a compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond and a urethane bond in the molecule.
When a compound (A) contained in the composition is reacted with a compound having a mercapto group, the isocyanato group of the compound (A) is reacted with the mercapto group to form an unsaturated thiourethane compound. In this embodiment, the unsaturated thiourethane compound means a compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond and a thiourethane bond in the molecule.
When a compound (A) contained in the composition is reacted with a compound having an amino group, the isocyanate group of the compound (A) is reacted with the amino group to form an unsaturated urea compound. In this embodiment, the unsaturated urea compound means a compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond and a urea bond in the molecule.

Therefore, according to the method of producing the composition of the present embodiment, the composition of the present embodiment can be produced in a high yield in which the compound (B) that affects the stability during storage and affects the stability during use is sufficiently removed from the mixture.
The method of producing the unsaturated compound of the present embodiment includes a step of mixing the composition of the present invention with a compound having active hydrogen and reacting the compound (A) contained in the composition with the compound having active hydrogen to obtain a reaction product. In the method of producing the unsaturated compound according to the present embodiment, since the composition used as the material contains 0.00002 to 0.2 parts by mass of the compound (B) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the compound (A), rapid increase in viscosity or gelation of the reaction product is unlikely to occur during production, and excellent productivity is obtained.
