Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel fluorine- containing polyaminoamides and preparation thereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The novel polyaminoamide according to the present invention is represented by the formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.m and R.sub.m ' are, the same or different, a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group and A.sub.m is a divalent organic group, or R.sub.m and/or R.sub.m ' form a cyclic group together with A.sub.m and the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded. m changes from 1 to p (wherein p is a positive integer) and n.sub.m is a positive integer.
For example, when p is 1 (one), m represents 1 (one) and therefore the formula (I) includes one kind of the repeating unit of the formula: ##STR5## When p is 2, m represents 1 and 2 and therefore the formula (I) includes two kinds of the repeating units of the formula: ##STR6##
In the formula (I), the monovalent or divalent organic group may be an aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic group. The aliphatic group may be a straight or branched group. The alicyclic or aromatic group may have at least one substituent.
The polyaminoamide (I) may be prepared by reacting a 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorooxetane (hereinafter referred to as "tetrafluorooxetane") of the formula: ##STR7## with m kind(s) of diamine(s) of the formula: ##STR8## wherein m is the same as defined above in a suitable solvent. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base or a basic salt to neutralize hydrogen fluoride liberated during the reaction.
The solvent is preferably one stable to the base. Specific examples of the solvent are diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, 1,1,2trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethene, benzene, toluene, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether and the like.
Specific examples of the base and the basic salt are hydroxides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.) and salts of alkali metals with weak acids (e.g., sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc.).
The reaction temperature is usually from a room temperature to a reflux temperature of the solvent, preferably up to a temperature generated by a reaction heat.
The diamine (III) may be any one of known diamines. Since the reaction proceeds between the amino group of the diamine and tetrafluorooxetane, it is not affected by the kinds of the groups R.sub.m, R.sub.m ' and A.sub.m. Thus, these groups may be any aliphatic or aromatic, or substituted or unsubstituted ones. In addition, R.sub.m and/or R.sub.m ' may be a group containing a hetero atom such as a polyether group. R.sub.m and/or R.sub.m ' may form a heterocyclic group together with A.sub.m and the nitrogen atom of the amino group. Further, the reaction according to the present invention is not influenced by the chain length of these groups.
With appropriate selection of R.sub.m and/or R.sub.m ', cross-linking sites are introduced in the produced polyaminoamide according to the present invention. For example, a polymer comprising piperazine has not been able to be cross-linked. However, according to the present invention, piperazine and a diamine which provides a cross-linking site such as xylylenediamine are copolymerized with tetrafluorooxetane to give a cross-linkable copolymer. In addition, suitable selection of R.sub.m and R.sub.m ' makes it possible to produce a copolymer having both hydrophilic and lipophilic groups in a single molecule.
Tetrafluorooxetane is a known compound and may be prepared by reacting tetrafluoroethylene and paraform in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
The fluorine-containing polyaminoamide according to the present invention is a liquid or solid polymer having an average molecular weight of 500 to 50,000, particularly 1,000 to 30,000 and useful as an ion exchange resin, an acid accepter, a heavy metal absorbent and the like. A copolymer of the invention neutralized with hydrochloric acid can be used as a water-absorbing polymer or an organic solvent absorbent.
The present invention will be hereinafter explained further in detail by following examples.

As soon as stirring of the mixture was started, a solution of hexamethylenediamine (50 ml, 0.36 mole) in water (100 ml) was added with adjusting the addition rate by observing the refluxing state of the mixture. After the completion of the addition (10-15 minutes), stirring was further continued for 30 minutes. Then, additional tetrafluorooxetane (10 ml, 0.11 mole) was added and heated to reflux for about 30 minutes.
