Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives and polymers having a pendant urea group.
The following cyclic urea (A): ##STR1## is reported by James N. Chilly in J. Org. Chem. 29 (11), 3347-50(1964), and thermocurable resinous compositions containing variations of (A) in the ester group have been also reported in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 24007/1988. Both prior references, however, do not refer to any polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives represented by the following formula (I): ##STR2## wherein n is 0 or an integer of 1-4, A is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 alkynyl group, a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 alkynylaryl group or a formula: ##STR3## [R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group or a phenyl group, R.sub.4 is a straight or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.9 alkylene group, which may be the same or different, W is ##STR4## or --CO--, Y is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or --NR.sub.5 -- (R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group), Z is --O--CO--, --NH--CO-- or --S--CO--, a and d are independently 0 or 1, and b and c are independently an integer of 0-10], and X is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or --NR.sub.6 -- [R.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group], and polymers having a corresponding cyclic urea pendant group.
These polymers are thermosetting because their cyclic urea pendant group may thermally decompose to an isocyanate group which acts as a cross-linkable site. This decomposition does not generate any volatile lower molecular material which makes the invention different from a conventional lower isocyanate cross-linking agent which has been used in a coating composition. Accordingly, when such polymers are used as a vehicle resin for a thermocurable coating composition, there can be obtained a coat free from distortion attributed to vaporization of such a lower molecular decomposed material from a conventional isocyanate cross-linking agent.
THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives (I) according to the present invention can be obtained by reacting a compound represented by the formula (II): ##STR8## wherein Z is a halogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 alkoxy group, an aryloxy group or an aralkyloxy group, and n is the same as aforementioned, with a compound represented by the formula (III):
A--X--H (III)
wherein A and X are the same as the above, to replace the Z with the A--X.

The polymerization may be effected by radical polymerization of monomers aforementioned in an inert solvent in the presence of a polymerization initiator. As the polymerization initiator there are exemplified 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxides, cumene hydroperoxide, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), acetyl cyclohexylsulfonylperoxide, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) and the like. The polymerization initiator may be used in the amount of about 0.1-10% by weight based on the total amount of monomers to be polymerized. The preferable polymerization temperature is about 20.degree.-200.degree. C., more preferably 80.degree.-150.degree. C. The inert solvent includes, for instance, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, alcohols, and the like. A preferable one includes aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, and the like; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and the like; alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, decalin and the like; petroleum distillates such as petroleum ether, ligroin and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, and the like; ethers such as isopropyl ether, anisole, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and the like; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, acetophenone, isophorone and the like; esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and the like; alcohols or glycols such as butanol, isopropanol, butyl cellosolve, ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, and the like, and others such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and the like. These solvents may be used as mixed.
The manner of the polymerization itself is not restricted, and may be carried out in the presence of other additives such as polymerization controlling agents.
The polymers of the present invention may be prepared by other methods, for instance, by reacting polymers previously obtained from the monomer (III):
A--X--H (III)
(A and X are the same as defined above respectively) alone or with other monomers which are polymerizable with the monomer (III) with the compound (II): ##STR11## (n and Z are defined as above). The polymerization condition or monomers to be copolymerized may be the same as the aforementioned. The reaction condition introducing a cyclic urea pendant group into the polymer may be the same as the aforementioned in the preparation of polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives.
The polymerizable cyclic urea derivatives of the present invention can give rise to an isocyanate group by heating as illustrated below: ##STR12##
The reaction product is further decomposed by heating to give a compound having two isocyanate groups.
A polymer having cyclic urea pendant groups therein also gives rise to isocyanate groups by heating. A polyisocyanate can be used as a cross-linking agent as well known. Therefore, the cyclic urea pendant group in the polymer of the present invention acts as a potentially cross-linkable group. That is, the polymer of the present invention can be called a thermosetting polymer having potentially cross-linkable portions. As the polymer of the present invention does not give rise to a volatile lower molecular material in a cross-linking process, which is different from a conventional manner in which a polyisocyanate blocked with a lower molecular material is separately used, an excellent coat free from distortion such as shrinking attributed to volatilization of a lower molecular material at curing can be obtained. Therefore, the cyclic urea derivatives of the present invention are useful as a raw material for monomers, and the polymer having cyclic urea pendant groups is also very useful as a vehicle for coating composition. Further, the cyclic urea derivatives or the polymer having cyclic urea pendant groups of the present invention are also useful for an intermediate of other compounds, pharmaceuticals, or production thereof.
