Production process for silsesquioxane derivative having functional group and silsesquioxane derivative

FIELD OF THENVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a process for producing a silsesquioxane derivative and a silsesquioxane derivative produced by this production process. This silsesquioxane derivative is useful as a modifying agent and an additive for providing common organic polymers with an added value such as thermal resistance, electric insulating property, water repellency, weather resistance and anti-flammability. “Silsesquioxane” is a generic name showing a compound in which each silicon atom is bonded to three oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is bonded to two silicon atoms. In the present invention, this term is used as a general term of a silsesquioxane structure and a silsesquioxane-analogous structure in which a part thereof is deformed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A silsesquioxane derivative has excellent characteristics in terms of thermal resistance, electric insulating property, water repellency, weather resistance and anti-flammability. And therefore it is paid attention as a modifying agent for common organic polymers and an additive for coating materials and has so far widely been investigated. It has been reported that this silsesquioxane derivative is obtained by hydrolyzing an organic silicon compound having three hydrolyzable groups and then subjecting it to dehydration and condensation. According to, for example, a general remark described in Literature 6 written by Baney et al., it is confirmed that the existences of silsesquioxane derivatives having a ladder structure, a cage structure, a partial cage structure and a random structure.

[0003] A commercial product of silsesquioxane derivative having a random structure is present, and this is widely used in general. However, these substituents are usually methyl or phenyl and do not have reactive groups, and therefore they can not be incorporated into a part to be modified by reaction. They can be incorporated only by blending and therefore are bled out depending on the use conditions, and this means that the characteristics provided by adding a silsesquioxane derivative are lost.

[0004] A process for introducing methacryloyloxy group into one of substituents to apply it to a resist material has been disclosed in Literature 1 and Literature 2. A process for producing a silsesquioxane derivative having an alcoholic hydroxyl group has been disclosed in Literature 3. At the process, the alcoholic hydroxyl group is derived by reaction of epoxy group and water in the process which a trialkoxysilane having epoxy group is hydrolyzed and polycondensed. However, these processes have involved the problems that the compounds, which can be used among silicon compounds having a reactive functional group, are restricted and that a functional group, which may be hydrolyzed, can not be introduced as described in Literature 3.

[0005] On the other hand, a process in which a silsesquioxane derivative having a hydrosilyl group is used as a raw material and this is subjected to hydrosilylation with a compound having a functional group and an unsaturated hydrocarbon group, is known as a process for producing a silsesquioxane derivative having a functional group. Literature 4, Literature 5 and Literature 7 are examples in which the silsesquioxane derivative having a hydrosilyl group is described. Some of the silsesquioxane derivatives having a hydrosilyl group disclosed in these literatures, require a specific apparatus for using fuming sulfuric acid in producing them. Further, even if a silsesquioxane derivative having a functional group can be produced, it is not easy to control a structure thereof as desired.

[0006] Disclosed by Aguskar et al. in Literature 8 was a process in which a cage type silsesquioxane derivative is produced by carrying out reaction in the presence of iron chloride using methanol as a solvent. In this production process, however, the production can be carried out only on a very dilute condition, and the volume efficiency is low. In addition thereto, the yield is low as well, and therefore there has been the problem that the product is very expensive. In recent years, commercially available is a compound which is a silsesquioxane derivative having a partially collapsed cage type structure, a reactive substituent and a non-reactive substituent which is cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl or isobutyl (Literature 9).

[0007] Lichtenhan et al. have obtained a silsesquioxane derivative having a reactive functional group by a reaction of a silsesquioxane derivative having a partial cage structure and alkoxysilane in the presence of a hydroxide of alkaline metal or ammonium hydroxide as a catalyst (Literature 10). However, alkoxysilane is usually produced from chlorosilane, and therefore it is apparent that the cost is high as compared with that of a production process in which chlorosilane is directly reacted.

This shall apply to either a case where optional hydrogen is replaced by halogen or a cyclic group in these groups or a case where optional —CH2— is replaced by —O—, CH═CH—, cycloalkylene or cycloalkenylene.

Commercially available compounds can be used for the silicon compound having three hydrolysable groups. If it is not commercially available, it can be synthesized by publicly known techniques such as reacting halogenated silane with a Grignard reagent. Success in synthesizing this compound (1) has made it possible to complete the production process of the present invention.

Each R is a group selected independently from hydrogen, the group of alkyls having 1 to 45 carbon atoms, the group of substituted or non-substituted aryls and the group of substituted or non-substituted arylalkyls.

[0092] One of processes for producing the compound (2) from the compound (1) is a process in which the compound (1) is first reacted with a compound (4) to prepare a compound (5) and the compound (5) is then subjected to hydrosilylation with a compound having a functional group and an unsaturated hydrocarbon group to thereby prepare the compound (2):

[0093] wherein R1 and R2 in Formula (4) are the same as these marks in Formula (3), and in Formula (5), R has the same meaning as that of R in Formula (1), and T is a group selected independently from the following group obtained by removing Cl from Formula (4) and hydrogen. Provided that at least one of T is a group selected from a group represented by the following formula:

[0094] The compound (4) is chlorosilanes, but the other halogenated silanes can be used as well. The compound (4) is available as a commercial product. The compounds, which are not the commercial products, can readily be obtained by publicly known synthetic techniques, for example, reaction of halogenated silane with a Grignard reagent. Taking the availability into consideration, the preferred examples of compound (4) is dimethylchlorosilane, diethylchlorosilane, methylethylchlorosilane, methylhexylchlorosilane, diisopropylchlorosilane, di-tert-butylchlorosilane, dicyclopentylchlorosilane, dicyclohexylchlorosilane, dinormal-octylchlorosilane, methylphenylchlorosilane and diphenylchlorosilane. More preferred examples of the compound (4) are dimethylchlorosilane, diisopropylchlorosilane, di-tert-butylchlorosilane, methylphenylchlorosilane and diphenylchlorosilane.

[0095] An organic solvent is preferably used for the reaction of the compound (1) with the compound (4). That is, the compound (1) is mixed with an organic solvent, and the compound (4) is dropwise added to this mixture, whereby the reaction goes on while by-producing chloride of alkaline metal. After finishing the reaction, water is added to dissolve the chloride described above and to hydrolyze the unreacted compound (4). Then, the organic layer is fractionized, and the solvent is removed by distillation, whereby the compound (5) can be obtained. The organic layer is washed with water and dried on a dehydrating agent before removing the solvent, whereby the compound having a high purity can be obtained. The compound (5) can be improved in purity, if necessary, by washing with a solvent, extracting impurities or recrystallizing.

[0096] The solvent described above used in the reaction is selected on the condition that it does not retard progress of the reaction. The preferred solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons (examples: hexane and heptane), aromatic hydrocarbons (examples: benzene, toluene and xylene), ethers (examples: diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1,4-dioxane), halogenated hydrocarbons (examples: methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride) and esters (examples: ethyl acetate). These solvents may be used alone or in combination of a plurality thereof. More preferred solvents are the aromatic hydrocarbons and the ethers. The most preferred example of the aromatic hydrocarbons is toluene. The most preferred example of the ethers is THF. The compound (4) is readily reacted with water, and therefore the solvent having a very small moisture content is preferably used.

[0097] A preferred proportion of the compound (1) in mixing with the solvent is 0.05 to 200% by weight based on the weight of the solvent. The range for controlling a concentration of the by-produced salts so that it is not such high as retarding progress of the reaction is 100% by weight or less. The range for preventing the volume efficiency from being so deteriorated that an adverse effect is exerted on the cost is 0.05% by weight or more. More preferred proportion is 5 to 50% by weight. A use amount of the compound (4) shall not be restricted as long as it is used in a mole ratio of 3 or more based on the compound (1), but considering an after-treatment step, it is not preferably used in an excess amount. When a use proportion of the compound (4) to this compound (1) is smaller than a mole ratio of 3, the compound (5) in which a part of T is hydrogen is obtained. Further, when the compound (4) has a low reactivity, the compound (5) in which a part of T is hydrogen is obtained in a certain case even if the use proportion thereof is a mole ratio of 3 or more. The reaction temperature may be a room temperature, and heating may be carried out, if necessary, in order to accelerate the reaction. Cooling may be carried out, if necessary, for the purpose of preventing heat generated by the reaction to control undesirable reactions.

[0098] This reaction can readily be accelerated by adding a compound having an amino group such as triethylamine or an organic compound showing basicity. To give an example in which triethylamine is used, a preferred use amount thereof falls in a range of 0.005 to 10% by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 3% by weight based on the weight of the solvent. However, an added amount of triethylamine shall not be specifically restricted as long as the reaction can readily be accelerated. In the reaction described above using the compound (1), the reaction time is 0.5 to 8 hours. In general, however, the reaction time is influenced by a reactivity of the raw materials, a raw material concentration, a temperature, the shape (stirring efficiency) of the apparatus and the form of the product or the by-product, and therefore it is not meant that the range of the reaction time restricts the present invention.

These solvents may be used alone or in combination of a plurality thereof. Among these solvents, the aromatic hydrocarbons are more preferred, and toluene is most preferred.

[0117] When the compound (5) is reacted with the compound having a functional group and an unsaturated hydrocarbon group, the solvent is not necessarily required, and when used, a preferred proportion of the compound (5) to the solvent is 0.05 to 80% by weight based on the weight of the solvent. More preferred proportion is 30 to 70% by weight based on the weight of the solvent. A use proportion of the compound having a functional group and an unsaturated hydrocarbon group to the compound (5) is varied according to the purposes, and when reacted with all of three Si—H groups, the proportion preferred for enhancing the yield is a mole ratio of 3 or more based on the compound (5). Also when introducing different functional groups, a proportion of the total use amount thereof has to be a mole ratio of 3 or more in order to prevent Si—H group from remaining. When allowing a part of Si—H groups to remain, a use proportion of the compound having a functional group and an unsaturated hydrocarbon group to the compound (5) may be a mole ratio of smaller than 3. When the number of Si—H groups in the compound (5) is less than 3, consideration may be made in accordance with the number thereof in the same manner as described above.

[0118] The reaction temperature may be a room temperature, and heating may be carried out, if necessary, in order to accelerate the reaction. Cooling may be carried out, if necessary, for the purpose of preventing heat generated by the reaction to control undesirable reactions. The reaction can be allowed to more easily proceed by adding, if necessary, a hydrosilylation catalyst. The examples of the preferred hydrosilylation catalyst are a Karstedt's catalyst and a Spier's catalyst, and they are usually well known catalysts.

[0119] These hydrosilylation catalysts have a high reactivity, and therefore addition of a small amount thereof can sufficiently promote the reaction. Usually, they may be used in a range where transition metal contained therein accounts for 10−9 to 1 mole % based on the hydrosilyl group. The preferred addition amount is 10−7 to 10−3 mole %. The catalyst addition amount required for making it possible to promote the reaction and finishing it within admissible time is such an amount that the transition metal contained therein accounts for 10−9 mole % or more based on the hydrosilyl group. Considering to control the production cost to a lower level, the catalyst addition amount is preferably such an amount that the transition metal contained therein accounts for 1 mole % or less based on the hydrosilyl group.

[0120] Another process for producing the compound (2) using the compound (1) is a process in which the compound (1) is reacted with a compound (6):

[0121] However, when the compound (6) is used, the kind of a functional group is restricted. Z in Formula (6) is a group selected from the range of Z in Formula (3), and the range thereof is restricted rather than that of Z in Formula (3). The compound (6) can be available as well in the form of a commercial product, but even if it is not commercially available, it can be synthesized by publicly known technique such as reacting halogenated silane with a Grignard reagent. When the compound (6) can be available in the form of a commercial product, this process is advantageous. This reaction can fundamentally be carried out just in the same method as in the reaction of the compound (1) with the compound (4). A preferred use amount of the compound (6) is a mole ratio of 3 or more based on the compound (1) in order to enhance the yield in the reaction. If a kind of compound (6) is reacted with the compound (1), the compound (2) having the same functional groups is obtained. The compound (2) having two different functional groups can be synthesized by a reaction of one compound (1) and at least two compounds (6). In this case, considering a difference in reactivity between the compounds (6), they are reacted at the same time in the form of a mixture or they are successively reacted one by one. When successively reacted, the reactivity of the functional group is a hindrance in a certain case, and in such case, it is advisable to protect the functional group in advance with a protective group such as trimethylsilyl. When using at least two compounds (6), the total use amount thereof is a mole ratio of 3 or more based on the compound (1). When this mole ratio is smaller than 3 or the compound (6) has a low reactivity, the compound (2) in which a part of Y is hydrogen is obtained. The examples of the compound (6) are acetic acid 2(chlorodimethylsilanyl)-ethyl ester, acetic acid 3(chlorodimethylsilanyl)-propyl ester, 1-(chlorodimethylsilanyl)-3-trimethylsilanyl-propane, 11-(chlorodimethylsilanyl)-undecanoic acid methyl ester, chloro—Chloromethyl-dimethyl-silane, chloro—Chloromethylmethyl-silane, chloro-dichloromethyl-dimethyl-silane, chloro-bis—Chloromethyl-methyl-silane, bromomethylchloro-dimethyl-silane, chloro-(3-chloro-propyl)dimethyl-silane, chloro-(4-chloro-butyl)-dimethyl-silane, (11-bromo-undecyl)—Chloro-dimethyl-silane, chloro-[2-(4-chloromethyl-phenyl)-ethyl]-dimethyl-silane, 4-(chlorodimethyl-silanyl)-butyronitrile, 4-(chloro-diisopropylsilanyl)-butyronitrile, chloro-dimethyl-vinyl-silane, allyl—Chloro-dimethyl-silane, chloro-hex-5-enyl-dimethylsilane, chloro-dimethyl-oct-7-enyl-silane, chlorodimethyl-undec-10-enyl-silane, chloro-methyl-phenylvinyl-silane, chloro-diphenyl-vinyl-silane, chlorodiisopropyl-phenylethynyl-silane, chloro-trivinyl-silane, chloro-(2-cyclohex-3-enyl-ethyl)-dimethyl-silane, (2-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl-ethyl)—Chloro-dimethyl silane, chloro-(3-isocyanato-propyl)-dimethyl-silane, 2-methyl-acrylic acid 3-(chloro-dimethyl-silanyl)-propyl ester, chloro-dimethyl-(3,3,3-trifluoro-propyl)-silane, (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)—Chloro-dimethyl-silane, chloro-dimethyl-pentafluorophenyl-silane, chlorodimethyl-(3-pentafluorophenyl-propyl)-silane, chloro(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluoro decyl)-dimethyl-silane, chloro-dimethyl-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluoro-octyl)-silane, and (chloro-dimethyl-silanyl)-dimethyl-amine.

[0122] The compound (2) having a polymerizable group can be turned into a polymer by an ordinary method such as a radical polymerization method, an anionic polymerization method, a cationic polymerization method, a metal-initiated polymerization method, an addition polymerization method and a polycondensation polymerization method. In this case, the compound (2) may be copolymerized with the other monomers. In the copolymer, the configuration of a structural unit originating in the compound (2) may be any of random, block and alternation. The compound (2) can be graft-polymerized with the other polymers.
