Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It was previously shown that aryl chlorodithioformates react with esters of trivalent phosphorus acids according to the following general equation (U.S. Pat. No. 3,089,891): ##STR3## The above primary product has two organophosphorus groups, one having phosphorus bonded to the carbon atom that was initially part of the thiocarbonyl group (C.dbd.S) and the other having phosphorus bonded to the sulfur atom that was initially part of the thiocarbonyl group. There are no bond rearrangements on the aryl group of the dithioformate during the reaction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found according to the present invention that when phenyl chloromonothioformates, having electronegative substituents, e.g., nitro, cyano, or halogen, in the para-position of the phenyl group are treated with esters of trivalent phosphorus acids, an unusual migration of the phenyl group from oxygen to the sulfur atom of the thiocarbonyl group occurs. Furthermore two phosphorus atoms become directly bonded to the carbon atoms of the thiocarbonyl group according to the general equation, ##STR4## where X is halogen (Br, Cl, or F), NO.sub.2, CN, CO.sub.2 R', SO.sub.2 R', CF.sub.3 or
R is phenyl, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or OR', and R' is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
A phenolic hydroxyl group is generated in the process of the present invention, giving a characteristic structure in which the hydroxyl group is ortho and the electronegative substitutent is meta to the sulfur atom. Neither of the phosphorous atoms is directly bonded to sulfur in contrast to the products of the reference cited above.
The present hydroxyphenylthiophosphorylanylidene products having the two phosphorus atoms directly bonded to carbon are useful, per se, in corrosion inhibition, lubricant modification and flame retardancy. They also are readily converted to products that have improved hydrolytic stability, e.g., in contact with water or moisture, thus being especially useful in corrosion inhibition, lubricant modification and flame retardancy applications.
The molecular rearrangement forming the o-hydroxyphenylthio products of the present invention utilizing the monothioformate does not occur with the dithioformate reactants of the above patent. Consequently quite different products are obtained.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new hydroxyphenylthiophosphoranylidene-substituted organophosphorus compounds, and to a process for their preparation.
The general method for the preparation of the new hydroxyphenylthiophosphoranylidene compounds (I) is in accordance with the following equation: ##STR5## where
X is Br, Cl, F, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2, CN, CO.sub.2 R', SO.sub.2 R', CF.sub.3, or
R is phenyl, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or OR', and R' is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
The products of general structure I are chemically reactive and are readily converted to other new structures, for example, to structure III, by the treatment of I with hydrogen-acids HY, e.g., mineral or carboxylic acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and trifluoroacetic acids according to the following equation, preferably at 0.degree. to 100.degree. C : ##STR6##
It has been found that the hydroxyphenylthiophosphoranylidenes also undergo a thermal rearrangement. Heating to a temperature of 125.degree. to 200.degree. C results in the production of compounds of type II. ##STR7##
A third type of new product that is derived from compound I has structure IV. This conversion is made by the treatment of I with chlorine or bromine as in the following equation, preferably at 0.degree. to 100.degree. C: ##STR8## where Z is Br or Cl.
The trivalent phosphorus esters useful for the purpose of preparing the compounds of this invention are the phosphite, phosphonite, and phosphinite esters having at least one aliphatic radical which is bonded through an oxygen atom to the phosphorus atom and contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The remaining valences of the phosphorus ester starting material may be satisfied by hydrocarbyl or hydrocarboyloxy groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Phosphite esters are preferred for reasons of economy and ready availability. However, the phosphonite and phosphinite esters may also be used. Alkyl phosphites useful for the preparation of the present compounds are the simple or mixed trialkyl phosphites such as trimethyl, triethyl, tri-n-propyl, triisopropyl, tri-n-butyl, triisoamyl, trihexyl, dimethyl ethyl and di-n-proply methyl phosphites.
Phosphonite esters having at least one aliphatic radical bonded through oxygen to he phosphorus atom will also react to provide compounds of the invention. Examples of phosphonite esters that may be used are the simple or mixed alkyl phosphonites, e.g., dimethyl methyl-, diethyl ethyl-, di-n-propyl propyl-, ethyl hexyl butylphosphonites, dimethyl phenyl-, diethyl phenyl-, and dibutyl phenylphosphonite.
Although less commonly available at the present time, phosphinite esters may also be used to prepare compounds of the present invention. Such phosphinite esters useful in this invention are those having organic radicals the same as those described above in more detail for the phosphite and phosphonite esters. However, for purposes of illustration, a few examples of phosphinite esters useful in this invention are ethyl dimethyl-, butyl dimethyl-, methyl diphenyl-, and ehtyl diphenlphosphinite.
Phenyl chlorothionoformates that are used to react with any of the above esters of trivalent phosphorus acids to prepare compounds of this invention are those having an electro-negative substituent in the para-position of the phenyl group, e.g., p-bromophenyl, p-chlorophenyl, p-fluorophenyl, p-nitrophenyl, p-cayanophenyl, p-methoxycarbonylphenyl, p-ethylsulfonylphenyl, and p-propionylphenyl chlorothionoformates.
Reaction of esters of trivalent phosphorus acids with the para-substituted phenyl chlorothionoformates occurs within the range of about 0.degree. to 100.degree. C, preferably at 10.degree. to 70.degree. C. Although cooling is not necessary, it is usually preferred to apply some cooling, particularly when using larger quantities of reactants, for example, more than about 0.5 mole of the trivalent phosphorus ester reactant. Reaction may be complete at ordinary temperatures or below, but it is usually preferred to apply external heating after the initial exothermic reaction has subsided. The use of an inert solvent or diluent may be advantageous, particularly when employing higher molecular weight reactants. Such solvents may be, for example, methylene chloride, benzene, toluene, hexane, cyclohexane, ether, and chlorobenzene.
The following examples illustrate specific embodiments of the invention but are not limitative of the scope of the invention.

The treatment of a portion of I in methylene chloride with anhydrous HBr produces (2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethylthio)methylenebis(ethyl ethylphosphinate), ##STR38##
When a portion of I dissolved in o-dichlorobenzene is warmed at 170.degree.-190.degree. C for 0.5 hr., (2-ethoxy-5-trifluoromethylphenylthio)methylenebis(ethyl ethylphosphinate) (II) is produced.
The treatment of a solution of I is methylene chloride with chlorine gives as the major product (chloro)(2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethylphenylthio)methylenebis(ethyl ethylphosphinate), ##STR39##
EXAMPLE 10
Preparation of the compound ##STR40##
The treatment of a solution of 4-cyanophenyl chlorothionoformate in toluene with methyl dimethylphosphinite at a 1:2 molar ratio produces [(5-cyano-2-hydroxyphenylthio)(dimethylmethoxyphosphoranylidene)methyl]dim ethylphosphine oxide (I).
When a solution of I in o-dichlorobenzene is warmed at 160.degree.-185.degree. for 0.75 hr., an intramolecular rearrangement occurs, resulting in the formation of (5-cyano-2-methoxyphenylthio)methylenebis(dimethylphosphine oxide), ##STR41##
EXAMPLE 11
The products of the present invention are useful as corrosion inhibitors, lubricating oil additives and as flame retardants.
In corrosion inhibition, for example in aqueous cooling solutions, or in lubricating oils, the phosphorus compounds of the invention are used at 0.01 to 5 wt. % based upon the total mixture. For example, dimethyl (5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenylthio)(trimethoxyphosphoranylidene)methylphosphonat e of Example 1, and also Compound I of Example 2 are used at 1 wt. % concentration to reduce corrosion of metal surfaces such as iron. In lubricating oils, both natural, and of the synthetic ester type, the present phosphorus compounds at 0.1 wt. % are useful as dispersants for the detergents, extreme pressure agents, viscosity index modifiers and other additives commonly used in oils. As an example, 0.5 wt. % of the Compound I of Example 5 or Compound I of Example 7, or Compound I of Example 9 used in a hydrocarbon lubricating oil base are useful as dispersants.
For flame retardant purposes, the phosphorus compounds are used with polymeric substrates such as polyesters, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, and nylons, such as nylon-6,6. Other polymers and resins include polyurethanes and vinyl polymers such as acrylonitrile. The phosphorus compound additives of the invention are used at concentrations of 0.5 wt. % to 10 wt. % based upon the total mixture. The additives, e.g., Compound I of Example 1, or Compound I of Example 6, or Compound I of Example 8 are applied to the finished polymer as a coating or dipping treatment from a solvent dispersion such as water, or may be added to the starting components before polymerization.
