The present invention relates to a novel fluorene-containing polymer compound useful as materials for protective films of electronic circuit boards, protective films of semiconductor devices, gas separation membranes and the like. The present invention also relates to a fluorene-containing polymerizable monomer for the production of the fluorene-containing polymer compound.
Aromatic diamine compounds are useful as raw materials for heat-resistant polymers such as polyamide, polyimide and polybenzoxazole. These polymers are used in the fields of automotive vehicles, aerospace applications, fireproof suits etc. because of their high heat resistance. However, many of these polymers are low in solubility in organic solvents and low in moldability. It is thus common practice to, obtain a final molded product of e.g. polyimide or polybenzoxazole by molding an organic solvent-soluble polymer precursor (such as polyamic acid or polyamide-phenol) into a desired shape and converting the polymer precursor to polyimide or polybenzoxazole through dehydration cyclization reaction under high-temperature conditions of 300 to 350° C.
The above molding process is however not suitable for the production of relatively low heat-resistant display parts using organic dyes, semiconductor lamination parts having different thermal expansion coefficients and susceptible to residual thermal stresses and the like because the molding temperature is too high. For this reason, attention is being given to organic solvent-soluble polyimide and polybenzoxazole materials that are moldable at temperature levels where organic solvents can be vaporized and volatilized
As techniques for making the polymers soluble in organic solvents, it is known to: introduce a bent structure e.g. ether bond or methylene bond into the main chain skeletons of the polymers; introduce a bulky structure e.g. tert-butyl group or trifluoromethyl group into the side chains of the polymers; and disturb the symmetry of the main chain skeletons of the polymers. Particularly known is a technique using a fluorene structure to improve the solubility of the polymers in organic solvents without sacrificing heat resistance.
It has been reported that fluorene-containing polymers show not only solubility in organic solvents but also low dielectric constant and gas permeation improvement effect because of their specific structure and thus have uses as materials for protective films of semiconductor devices and gas separation membranes (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
The fluorine-containing polymers however have drawbacks such as low applicability to hydrophilic substrates due to high hydrophobicity and low mechanical strength due to small intermolecular interaction. There are reported some attempts to resolve these drawbacks by the introduction of a hydrophilic group e.g. phenolic hydroxy group or carboxyl group into the fluorene structures of the polymers. The introduction of such a hydrophilic group e.g. phenolic hydroxy group or carboxyl group requires a plurality of synthesis steps and complicated operations (see Patent Documents 3, 4 and 8).
More specifically, Patent Document 3 discloses a process for production of a phenolic hydroxy group-containing fluorenediamine. In this production process, the target phenolic hydroxy group-containing fluorenediamine is obtained by introducing a phenolic hydroxy group into a fluorene structure, and then, subjecting the resulting compound to nitration and hydrogen reduction. It is described in the working examples of Patent Document 3 that the target product can be obtained with relatively high yield (85 to 90%) in each step. However, this production process is hardly said as an industrially easy technique in view of the problem of waste due to the use of a large amount of nitric acid, the need to use an expensive palladium and the need to high-pressure hydrogen.
Patent Document 4 discloses a process for production of a calboxyl group-containing florenediamine. In this production process, the target carboxyl group-containing fluorenediamine is obtained by heating diphenic acid in sulfuric acid, and then, causing dehydration of the resulting fluorenone-carboxylic acid with aniline under required high-temperature conditions. This production process is also hardly said as an industrially easy technique in view of the problem of waste due to the use of a large amount of sulfuric acid and the need to adopt additional equipment for azeotropic dehydration in the coexistence of toluene in the dehydration step.
Patent Document 8 discloses a process for production of a phenolic hydroxy group-containing fluorenediamine, which is opposite in phenolic hydroxyl group substitution position and amino group substitution position to those of Patent Document 3. In this production process, 2-benzoxazoline for general purpose is used. It is however necessary to perform purification operation for separation of the target product from by-products by silica gel chromatography. This process is thus also hardly said as an industrially easy technique.
There have accordingly been a demand to develop techniques for easy introduction of a phenolic hydroxy group, a carboxyl group or any other hydrophilic functional group into the fluorene structures.
Further, there has been known no fluorene-containing aromatic diamine compound having introduced thereto a 2-hydroxy-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexyafluoroisopropyl group.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fluorene-containing aromatic diamine compound having introduced thereto a 2-hydroxy-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexyafluoroisopropyl group (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “HFIP group” or “—C(CF3)2OH group”), which is called a “HFIP-containing fluorenediamine”. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a polyamide compound, a polyimide compound and a polybenzoxazole-analogous fluorine-containing heterocyclic polymer compound, each of which is produced from the HFIP-containing fluorenediamine.
As a result of extensive researches made to achieve the above objects, the present inventors have found a easier synthesis method for introduction of a hydrophilic HFIP group into a fluorene structure than conventional methods for introduction of a hydrophilic group e.g. phenolic hydroxy group or carboxyl group into a fluorene structure, and then, have produced a HFIP-containing fluorenediamine by such a method. The present inventors have further produced a polyamide compound, a polyimide compound and a polybenzoxazole-analogous fluorine-containing heterocyclic polymer compound from the HFIP-containing fluornediamine. The present invention was accomplished based on the above findings.

In the formulas (3-1) and (3-2), R1, R2 and HFIP have the same meanings as those in the formula (2)
Examples of the C1-C4 alkyl group are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl.
Examples of the C1-C4 fluoroalkyl group in which any number of hydrogen atoms can be substituted by a fluorine atom are trifluoromethyl, perfluoroethyl, perfluoropropyl, perfluoroisopropyl, perfluorobutyl, perfluoro-sec-butyl and perfluoro-tert-butyl.
Specific examples of the HFIP-containing fluorenediamine are those of the following formulas (4-1) to (4-12).
In the formulas (4-1) to (4-12), R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group; Me represents a methyl group; Ph represents a phenyl group; and HFIP has the same meaning as in the formula (2).
Among others, the HFIP-containing fluorenediamines of the formulas (4-1) and (4-2) are particularly preferred in view of the availability of fluorenediamines as the raw material for the synthesis of the HFIP-containing fluorenediamine.
In the present invention, it is feasible to synthesize the HFIP-containing fluorenediamine (2) by reaction of a fluorenediamine of the formula (5) (sometimes referred to as “fluorenediamine (5)”) with hexafluoroacetone or hexafluoroacetone trihydrate (see Patent Documents 5, 6 and 7).

The reaction can be performed with or without the use of a solvent. There is no particular limitation on the kind of the solvent used as long as the solvent is not involved in the reaction. Suitable examples of the solvent are: aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylene, toluene, benzene, anisole, diphenyl ether, nitrobenzene and benzonitrile; and water. There is also no particular limitation on the amount of the solvent used. It is however unfavorable to use the solvent in a large amount because the use of a large amount of solvent leads to deterioration in yield per volume.
There is no particular limitation on the reactor used in the reaction. In the case of a sealed reactor (autoclave), the procedure of the reaction varies depending on whether to use hexafluoroacetone or hexafluoroacetone trihydrate. When hexafluoroacetone is used as the reaction substrate, it is desirable to first place the fluorenediamine (5) and, optionally, the catalyst and/or the solvent into the reactor and then introduce the hexafluoroacetone gradually into the reactor, while raising the temperature, in such a manner that the inner pressure of the reactor does not exceed 0.5 MPa.
When hexafluoroacetone trihydrate is used as the reaction substrate, the reaction can be performed by first placing the fluorenediamine (5) together with a required amount of hexafluoroacetone trihydrate into the reactor and then optionally placing the catalyst and/or the solvent into the reactor.
Further, there is no particular limitation on the reaction time of the reaction. The optimum reaction time varies depending on the temperature, the amount of the catalyst used and the like. It is thus desirable to perform the reaction, while monitoring the progress of the reaction by any ordinary analytical means such as gas chromatography, and complete the reaction after confirming that the raw substrate material has sufficiently been consumed. After the completion of the reaction, the HFIP-containing fluorenediamine (2) can be obtained by any ordinary means such as extraction, distillation or crystallization. The HFIP-containing fluorenediamine (2) can be purified by column chloromatography, recrystallization or the like as needed.

As mentioned above, a solvent can be used in the synthesis reaction of the polyamide compound (6). There is no particular limitation on the kind of the solvent used as long as the solvent is capable of dissolving therein the reaction substrates and is not frozen at the reaction temperature. An amide solvent, an aromatic solvent, a halogenated solvent, a lactone solvent etc. is usable as the solvent.

Into a 300-mL autoclave, 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene (25 g, 0.072 mol; available from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), hexafluoroacetone trihydrate (70 g, 0.32 mol) and paratoluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.68 g, 3.6 mmol) were placed. The autoclave was sealed. The resulting reaction solution inside the autoclave was stirred for 17 hours while the autoclave was heated at 130° C. in an oil bath. Then, the autoclave was cooled down to room temperature. (The term “room temperature” refers to a temperature of atmosphere without heating or cooling and generally ranges from about 15 to 30° C. The same applies to the following.) To the reaction solution, toluene (50 g) was added. The thus-formed solid was filtered out, washed with water and further washed with chloroform (100 ml).

It was confirmed by NMR analysis that the white powder was HFIP-containing fluorenediamine of the formula (22) (sometimes referred to as “HFIP-FL”).
1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 9.19 (brs, 2H), 7.87 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 7.35 (m, 2H), 7.26 (m, 4H), 7.02 (s, 2H), 6.80 (dd, J=8.5, 1.7 Hz, 2H), 6.60 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 5.55 (brs, 4H).
