Abstract

These compounds have particularly high photochemical reactivity in the medium-wavelength to relatively long-wavelength UV range.
Description

The present invention relates to novel radiation-sensitive, ethylenically unsaturated acetophenone and benzophenone derivatives and a process for their preparation.
UV-sensitive acetophenones and benzophenones are frequently added to radiation-sensitive polymers as external initiators (for example G. Li Bassi, J. Rad. Cur. 14 (1987), 18). In general, however, such procedures are not entirely satisfactory since, after the initiators have been mixed with the polymers, problems arise with the compatibility, the uniformity of distribution, the volatility, the odor and the toxicity and of exudation and migration of the additive, which frequently lead to an undesirable, premature and non-uniform reaction. During the actual process of irradiation, lower reactivity is then observed as a result of lower effective initiator concentrations.
It is known that a number of the stated problems can be solved if the radiation-sensitive initiator is copolymerized with monomers by a conventional process, ie. incorporated in a polymer chain. The photosensitive photoinitiator is linked to the base polymer by an anchor group, ie. a spacer. The spacer also serves to reduce the influence of the base polymer chain on the photochemical behavior of the initiator.
In principle, therefore, copolymerizable initiators have the following structure: ##STR4##
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,214,492 and 3,429,852 describe acryloxy- or methacryloxy-substituted acetophenone and benzophenone derivatives, for example ##STR5##
These can be copolymerized with ethylene or other vinyl monomers. This gives polymers which, for example after thermal deformation, are cured by irradiation. In the model according to Scheme I, the reactive double bond and the spacer are represented by the acryloxy group in these radiation-sensitive monomers.
In the 4-(4'-vinylbenzyloxy)-benzophenones ##STR6## described in DE-A No. 28 18 763, this function is performed by the styrylbenzyloxy radical.
In Uvecryl.RTM. P36, a commercial product from UCB, a particularly long spacer consisting of four ethyleneoxy units separates the benzophenone from the acryloxy radical. ##STR7##
This compound, which is described in, for example, Technical Bulletin 2480/885 (1985) of UCB, can be used in photopolymers for coating materials. The synthesis is expensive.
The abovementioned patent literature shows that the ether or ester group is an important part of the spacer (cf. Scheme II). ##STR8##
The ether or ester groups serve predominantly as linking elements between the spacer and the initiator fragment.
A novel structural scheme is obtained by considering the influence of the spacer as substituent on the photochemically excited acetophenone or benzophenone fragment. For example, possible spacers are those which can have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect because of their structures.
In particular, the carbamyl-substituted benzophenones of the type ##STR9## constitute an interesting class of substances from this point of view. U.S. Pat. No. 3,322,818 describes allyl-substituted and methallyl-substituted carbamylbenzophenones. However, they are only suitable as funicides (cf. Scheme IV). ##STR10##
However, an allyl or methallyl group is not suitable for copolymerization These benzoylphenyl allylcarbamates are therefore of no practical importance in the polymer sector.
This applies to an even greater extent to the polyurethane UV stabilizers described in DE-A No. 20 31 477. Although these compounds contain a carbamyl group in the spacer, they have no reactive double bond. ##STR11##
A photochemically interesting structure variant is described in EP-A No. 0 246 848. By reacting a reactive isocyanate with hydroxyethyloxyben-zophenone, a radiation-sensitive monomer having a particularly long spacer is obtained. ##STR12##
This monomer is copolymerizable but has the decisive disadvantage that the radiation-sensitive moiety of the molecule is bonded to the spacer via a photochemically only weakly activating ether group.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a radiation-sensitive, ethylenically unsaturated acetophenone or benzophenone derivative of a novel, previously unknown type, in which the carbamyl group is bonded directly to the initiator moiety and which additionally contains a reactive copolymerizable C--C double bond. ##STR13##
We have found that this object is achieved by ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable, radiation-sensitive organic compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR14## where R is a straight-chain alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably methyl, ethyl or n-propyl, an unsubstituted or substituted, branched alkyl radical of 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as isopropyl, sec-hydroxyisopropyl or tert-butyl, aryl, such as phenyl, tolyl or naphthyl, or a radical R.sup.1, and R.sup.1 is a radical ##STR15## where R.sup.2 to R.sup.6 are identical or different and are each H, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, eg. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, OH, OCH.sub.3, OC.sub.2 H.sub.5, SH, SCH.sub.3, SC.sub.2 H.sub.5, Cl, F, N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, N(C.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.2 or N(CH.sub.3)C.sub.6 H.sub.5, and not less than one but not more than three of the radicals R.sub.2 to R.sup.6 are each a radical ##STR16## where X is a divalent alkylene radical --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --, in which m is from 1 to 10, preferably ethylene, a perfluorinated alkylene radical --(CF.sub.2).sub.m --, in which m is from 1 to 10, preferably perfluoroethylene, an oxaalkylene radical of the type --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.p --, in which n is from 1 to 5 and p is from 1 to 5, preferably n and p are each 2, ie.--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, a perfluorinated oxaalkylene radical of the type --(CF.sub.2).sub.n --O--(CF.sub.2).sub.p --, in which n and p are each from 1 to 5, for example tetrafluoroethylene, or a polyoxaalkylene radical which may be perfluorinated and has 2 to 5 oxygen atoms, which are bonded to one another via one or more --CH.sub.2 -- or --CF.sub.2 -- groups, and Y is H or methyl.
Surprisingly, the novel compounds have particularly high photochemical reactivity in the medium-wavelength to relatively long-wavelength UV range.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of novel radiation-sensitive carbamylbenzophenones and carbamylacetophenones having one or more terminal methacrylate or acrylate groups.
The synthesis of aryl carbamates without a copolymerizable terminal group is known. A good overview is given by C. Ferri, Reaktionen der organischen Synthese, G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1978.
The most important preparation process is the reaction of an aromatic alcohol with an isocyanate (cf. Houben-Weyl VIII, page 141; O. S. Petersen, Liebigs Ann. Chem. 562 (1947), 205; J. Burkus, J. Org. Chem. 26 (1961), 779; I. T. Kay and N. Punja, J. Chem. Soc., C 1968, 3011; and L. Capuano and R. Zander, Chem. Ber. 104 (1971), 2212). The carbamates are formed in good to very good yields if the alcohol and the isocyanate are reacted with one another in a molar ratio of 1:1 in the absence of a solvent or in excess alcohol as a solvent. Where the alcohol or the phenol is in the form of a solid, aprotic solvents, eg. dichloromethane, dichloroethane, acetonitrile, toluene, etc., are used.
When this preparation process is used for .omega.-isocyanatoalkyl (meth)acrylates of the general formula (II), where X is an alkylene radical which may be perfluorinated, an oxaalkylene radical or a polyoxaalkylene radical, each of 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and Y is H-- or CH.sub.3 --, it has been found, surprisingly, that the desired carbamylbenzophenones containing (meth)acrylate groups are formed in a high, virtually quantitative yield. This is surprising in that acrylates or methacrylates can readily undergo many side reactions (crosslinking, polymerization).
The .omega.-isocyanatoalkyl (meth)acrylates required for the reaction of the hydroxyacetophenones or hydroxybenzophenones can be prepared in good yield by the process described in EP-A No. 083764 and DE-A No. 35 23 692.
The hydroxyacetophenones and hydroxybenzophenones required as further starting materials can be prepared by known processes. For example, 4-hydroxybenzophenone is obtained in about 90% yield by subjecting phenol to a Friedel-Crafts acylation with benzoyl chloride in nitrobenzene in the presence of AlCl.sub.3 or TiCl.sub.4 (Houben-Weyl 7/2a, page 186) or is obtained free of isomers by oxidation of 4-hydroxydiphenylmethane with 5,6-dichloro-2,3-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (Houben-Weyl 7/2a, page 681).
The present invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula (I), wherein a compound of the general formula (II) ##STR17## where X and Y have the abovementioned meanings, preferably, for example, isocyanatoethyl methacrylate or 5-isocyanato-3-oxapentyl methacrylate, is reacted with a compound of the general formula (III) ##STR18## where R.sup.7 is a straight-chain alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably methyl, ethyl or n-propyl, an unsubstituted or substituted, branched alkyl radical of 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as isopropyl, sec-hydroxyisopropyl or tert-butyl, or aryl, eg. phenyl, tolyl or naphthyl, preferably phenyl, and R.sup.8 to R.sup.12 are identical or different and are each H, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, eg. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl, OH, OCH.sub.3, OC.sub.2 H.sub.5, SH, SCH.sub.3, SC.sub.2 H.sub.5, Cl, F, N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, N(C.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.2 or N(CH.sub.3)C.sub.6 H.sub.5, with the proviso that one or more of the radicals R.sup.8 to R.sup.12 are hydroxyl, in an equimolar ratio or in two or three times this ratio, if necessary with not more than a 20% excess of the isocyanate, in the absence of moisture, in the presence or absence of an inert solvent or solvent mixture and of a basic catalyst, at from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 20.degree. to 50.degree. C.
Regarding the preparation process, the following may be stated specifically.
The isocyanates used in the reaction react readily with nucleophiles, including water. In the reaction, it is therefore essential to ensure strict absence of moisture by using dried nonnucleophilic solvents, eg. acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, chlorobenzene, ethyl acetate, chloroform, etc. and to maintain an inert gas atmosphere, for example nitrogen, argon or carbon dioxide.
As a rule, a solution of the hydroxy compound in an inert solvent, which may be omitted if the compound of the general formula (III) is liquid, is initially taken at from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 20.degree. to 50.degree. C. The liquid isocyanate is then added dropwise, while stirring. To initiate the reaction, a basic, nonnucleophilic amine, preferably triethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, polyvinylpyridine, etc., advantageously dissolved in an inert organic solvent, can then be added dropwise to this mixture at a rate such that the internal temperature can be kept below 100.degree. C., preferably at from 20.degree. to 50.degree. C.
This procedure is very suitable for laboratory experiments.
For work on a larger scale, the synthesis is preferably carried out in the slightly modified manner below.
A compound of the general formula (III) and the amine in a inert solvent are initially taken in the absence of moisture at from 20.degree. to 60.degree. C., and the isocyanate, preferably without being diluted with a solvent, is added dropwise at a rate such that the internal temperature can be kept in the stated range.
After stirring has been carried out for a further 1-20 hours at from 10.degree. to 30.degree. C., the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure until the weight of the residue remains constant. Crystalline products can additionally be readily recrystallized from an alcohol, eg. isopropanol.
