Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns partially fluorinated compounds which are useful as chemical intermediates or monomers. The invention further concerns partially fluorinated condensation polymers and dioxolanes.
2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fluorinated intermediates are employed in the synthesis of a variety of chemical compounds, such as partially fluorinated polymers. Novel fluorinated intermediates and polymers derived therefrom are of significant interest to the chemical industry.
Partially fluorinated condensation polymers are known in the literature, see, e.g., I. L. Knunyants, C. Li, and V. V. Shokina, Russ. Chem. Rev., 32:461 (1963), and the references described therein. These polymers generally have been made to obtain materials with improved thermo-oxidative stability and solvent resistance, as compared to nonfluorinated polymers.
Many partially fluorinated condensation polymers have been made with perfluoro diacids, HOOC--(CF.sub.2).sub.n --COOH, as one component of the polymer, see. e.g., B. S. Marks & G. C. Schweiker, J. Polymer Sci. 43:229 (1960) wherein the synthesis of partially fluorinated polyamides containing perfluoro diacid units is disclosed. The polymers made from such perfluoro diacids, however, suffer from problems associated with the extreme hydrolytic instability of the perfluoroacyl functional groups. The strongly electron-withdrawing perfluoroalkyl group situated next to the carbonyl of the perfluoroacyl group activates the carbonyl to hydrolysis. It has been found that many of the resulting polymers hydrolyze in moist air.
P. Johncock, S. P. Barnett, & P. A. Rickard, J. Polymer Sci./Polymer Chem. 24:2033 (1986) disclose the synthesis of a diacid wherein the fluoroalkyl chain is separated from the acyl group by a methylene spacer, HOOC--CH.sub.2 --(CF.sub.2).sub.3 --CH.sub.2 --COOH. Although polyesters made with this diacid are more hydrolytically stable than those made from perfluoro diacids, these compositions still hydrolyze under mild conditions. This acid also suffers from the ready loss of two moles of hydrogen fluoride from the molecule.
P. L. Coe., N. E. Milner & J. A. Smith, J. Chem. Soc./Perkin I 654 (1975) disclose use of perfluoroalkylcopper compounds to form certain polyfluoroalkyl-substituted acids and alcohols. These compounds are said to be of practical interest as surfactants. In one reaction, (1E,6E)-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluoro-1,7-di-iodohepta-1,6-diene was reacted with copper(I) cyanide. Hydrolysis of the resulting unsaturated dinitrile yielded a diacid that was hydrogenated to give HOOC--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --(CF.sub.2).sub.3 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --COOH.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,496,215 discloses hydrocyanation of unsaturated compounds using as a catalyst a compound of the structure Ni(PXYZ).sub.4 wherein X is OR; Y and Z are R or OR; and R is an alkyl or aryl radical of up to 18 carbon atoms. U.S. Pat. No. 3,496,217 discloses hydrocyanation of nonconjugated ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds using certain nickel complexes as a catalyst and certain zinc containing compounds as promoters. U.S. Pat. No. 3,496,218 discloses hydrocyanation of nonconjugated ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds using certain nickel complexes as catalysts and certain organoboron compounds as promoters.
C. A. Tolman et al., Adv. in Catalysis, 33:1 (1985) disclose homogeneous nickel-catalyzed olefin hydrocyanation, as well as unpromoted hydrocyanations of monoolefins and hydrocyanations promoted with Lewis acids.
The synthesis of compositions of the present invention starts with bis-2,2-trifluoromethyl-4,5-difluorodioxole, ##STR1## This dioxole was claimed by Resnick in U.S. Pat. No. 3,865,945.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 plots the conversion of CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 against the selectivity to mononitrile and dinitrile. This shows that the hydrocyanation of a diene is sequential. In the figure, the crosses are experimental points for mononitrile whereas the squares are experimental points for dinitrile. The lines are theoretical fits resulting from the use of a sequential kinetic model ##STR8## in the kinetic modeling computer program, GIT (available through the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.). The successful fit illustrates that k.sub.1 is 3.5 times greater than k.sub.2 and that essentially all dinitrile is derived from mononitrile.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The halogen addition reactions of Examples 1-4 and 21, 23, 25, 27, and 28 may be conducted at conditions of time and temperature sufficiently strenuous to result in acceptable conversion of the starting materials, but not strenuous enough to result in low yield of the desired product. The mole ratio of the halogen to the dioxole may be 0.6 to 1.4, preferably 1:1.
The ethylene addition reactions of Examples 5, 7, 8, and 14, may be started at room temperature and heated gradually or rapidly to the final reaction temperature of 200.degree.-250.degree., preferably 220.degree. as in the Examples. The time at temperature may be 0.5 to 24 hours, depending on the temperature chosen. Longer time is needed at lower temperature. The dehydrohalogenation reactions of Examples 6, 9, and 15 use a concentrated strong base, preferably KOH or NaOH, at 30.degree.-60.degree. for 10-24 hours. Preferably a quaternary ammonium salt is added to a phase transfer catalyst. The oxidation of the vinyl compounds to carboxyl compounds, Examples 11, 12 and 18, uses a permanganate salt at 25.degree.-75.degree., continuing until the exothermic reaction is finished. Inorganic acid or a quaternary ammonium salt is an optional additive.
The polymerizations may be carried out in any of the methods known for polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, such as aqueous, nonaqueous, and two-phase. The temperature is selected to match the decomposition rate of the initiator chosen, which should be non-telogenic.
The copolymers, which contain at least 1 weight % of the vinyl compound of this invention, are useful for electrical insulation, among other uses. The compounds with five-membered rings are useful as monomers or intermediates to monomers. The product of Example 33 is useful as a polymer catalyst. The product of Example 34 is useful as starting material for the preparation of solvents and stable fluids.
In the following examples, temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
The present invention provides partially fluorinated compounds which are useful as chemical intermediates. The unsaturated nitrile compounds are useful for the preparation of unsaturated acids, amines and esters. The unsaturated nitriles and esters are intermediates for the production of dinitriles and esternitriles of the present invention. The dinitrile compounds are useful as intermediates for the production of diacids, diesters, diisocyanates, and diamines. The esternitrile compounds can be also converted to esteramines. These difunctional species are useful for the synthesis of partially fluorinated condensation polymers. Polymers prepared with compounds of the invention demonstrate improved hydrolytic stability and altered dielectric constants.

In the nomenclature for polymer (A), the dashes found in the X, X', and X" divalent groups indicate the side of the group that is attached either to --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --R.sub.f --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- in repeating unit (3) or to Z in repeating units (3) and (4).
In repeating unit (3), the preferred R.sub.f is either the branched and carbocyclic 4,5-(2,2-trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolanediyl or of the formula --(CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2).sub.n -- wherein n is an integer from 1 to 6.

Another preferred Z group is mesogenic divalent organic radicals. Mesogenic divalent organic radicals can include, but are not limited to, divalent radicals of the formula
wherein V is a divalent radical independently selected from the group consisting of 1,4-phenylene, 4,4'-biphenylene, naphthylidene, 1,4-[2.2.2]-bicyclooctylidene, and 1,4-cyclohexylidene, and W is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of --CH.dbd.N--, --N(O).dbd.N--, --N.dbd.N--, --C(.dbd.O)--O--, --C.dbd.C--, --CH.dbd.CH--, --CH.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--, --C(.dbd.O)--NH--, --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.N--, --CH.dbd.CH--C(.dbd.O)--O--, and --CH.dbd.N--N.dbd.CH--.

When Y' is --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2 in compound (2), a condensation type of polymerization reaction can yield polymer (B). Polymer (B) can be either polymers comprising 100 mole percent of at least one independently selected repeating unit of the formula ##STR12## wherein U is any tetravalent organic radical and R.sub.f is as generally defined above; or copolymers comprising 1 to 99 mole percent of at least one independently selected repeating unit of formula (5) and 99 to 1 mole percent of at least one independently selected repeating unit of the formula ##STR13## wherein U and Z are as described above.
In repeating unit (5), the preferred R.sub.f is either the branched and carbocyclic 4,5-(2,2-trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolanediyl or of the formula --(CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2).sub.n -- wherein n is an integer from 1 to 6. A preferred U group in repeating units (5) and (6) is a divalent organic radical selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, carbocyclic, aromatic, and mixtures thereof having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms and containing from 0 to about 5 sulfonyl linkages. Most preferred embodiments of U are 1,2,4,5-benzenetetrayl, 2,2-bis(3,4-phenylene)-propane and 2,2-bis(3,4-phenylene)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane. In repeating unit (6), a preferred Z group is a divalent organic radical independently selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, carbocyclic, aromatic, and mixtures thereof having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms. Other preferred embodiments of Z are m-phenylene and p-phenylene.
Compound (1) of the invention wherein Y is --CN can be made by contacting CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH(R.sub.f).sub.n CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 with HCN in the presence of a nickel catalyst and a Lewis acid promoter such as zinc chloride by a process similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,496,217, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The diene starting compound can be prepared by the method disclosed in Kim et al., J. Fluor. Chem. 1:203 (1971) or by other conventional chemistry.
Compound (2) of the invention wherein one or both values for Y' is --CN can be made by contacting compound (1) with HCN in a manner similar to that described above. The addition of two equivalents of HCN to the diene to make compound (2), without isolation of the intermediate compound (1), is sequential, i.e., the dinitrile is produced only from the mononitrile. The kinetic analysis shown in FIG. 1 wherein R.sub.f is --CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 -- illustrates this and shows that compound (2) is produced only from compound (1). Similar analyses have been carried out for many other R.sub.f values and produced the same result.
Other Y values for compounds (1) and (2) result from converting the --CN group to other useful functional groups by conventional chemistry. For example, the --CN group can be converted to the --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2 group by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of ammonia and Raney cobalt. The --CONH.sub.2 group can be prepared by reaction of the --CN group with water in the presence of sulfuric acid. The --COOH group can be prepared by heating the --CN group in 50% sulfuric acid in water. The --COCl group can be made by reacting the --COOH group with a reagent such as thionyl chloride or phosporus pentachloride. The --COOR group can be made by heating the --CN group in ROH solution in the presence of sulfuric acid. The --CHO group can be made by partially reducing the --COOR group with a reagent such as lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminum hydride. The --CH.sub.2 OH group can be made by the reduction of the --COOR, or --COOH group, e.g., by reacting with lithium aluminum hydride. The --CH.sub.2 N.dbd.C.dbd.O group can be prepared by the reaction of the --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2 group with phosgene.
Compound (1) of the invention has utility for the preparation of the difunctional compound (2). Compound (2) of the invention is useful as an intermediate for the synthesis of polymer (A) and polymer (B) of the invention by condensation type polymerization. Partially fluorinated polyamides can be made by heating a salt of the desired acid and amine and allowing the water formed in the reaction to distill off. Higher molecular weights can be obtained by vacuum finishing the molten polymer using standard techniques. Polyesters of the invention can be made by heating a partially fluorinated free acid with the diacetate of a diol using calcium acetate as a catalyst. Polyimides of the invention can be made by adding a dianhydride to a solution of partially fluorinated diamine in a solvent such as dimethylacetamide (DMAC). The resulting amid-acid can be cast as a film and imidized by heating in a vacuum.
Methods for conducting condensation type polymerization are well known in the art. For example, 4,4,5,5-tetrafluorosuberic acid can be polymerized with hexamethylenediamine by heating a salt prepared from these materials. Also, 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-octofluorosebecic acid can be polymerized with 1,4-butanediol diacetate by heating in the presence of calcium acetate as a catalyst. Most examples of polymer (A) are moldable or melt processible, and most examples of polymer (B) can be processed like other polyimides.
It has been found that incorporation of compound (2) as a monomer improves the thermal characteristics of the resulting polymers (A) and (B). For example, poly(hexamethylenesuberamide) has a melting point of 232.degree. C., whereas poly(hexamethylene-4,4,5,5-tetrafluorosuberamide) has a melting point of 268.degree. C. This increase in melting point is evident also in polyesters. For example, poly(tetramethylenesuberate) melts at 60.degree. C., whereas poly(tetramethylene-4,4,5,5-tetrafluorosuberate) melts at 123.degree. C.
The partially fluorinated compounds of the invention can increase the anisotropic range of polymers in which they are incorporated as a monomer. For example, poly(oxydecanedioyloxy-1,4-phenylene-2-methylvinylene-1,4-phenylene) melts at 210.degree. C. to a nematic anisotropic phase. The resulting melt becomes isotropic at 254.degree. C., with an anistropic range of 44.degree. C. In contrastt, poly(oxyoctafluorodecanediooyloxy-1,4-phenylene-2-methylvinylene-1,4-pheny lene) melts at 153.degree. C. to a more highly ordered, smectic anisotopic state. The resulting melt becomes isotropic at 280.degree. C., with an anisotropic range of 127.degree. C.
The partially fluorinated compounds of this invention can alter the solubility properties of polymers in which they are incorporated as a monomer. For example, where poly(oxydecanedioyloxy-1,4-phenylene-2-methylvinylene-1,4-phenylene) is soluble in chloroform, poly(oxyoctafluorodecanedioyloxy-1,4-phenylene-2-methylvinylene-1,4-phenyl ene) is insoluble in all common organic non-acid solvents. The compounds and polymers of the present invention are described in the following examples.

PART B
In the Examples, compounds (1) and (2) were prepared according to the following general procedure. A 3-necked, round-bottom flask equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser (used with a low temperature circulation bath), nitrogen bubbler, and rubber septum was charged under nitrogen with the specified catalyst components, toluene, and the desired diene. The resulting mixture was heated in a 50.degree. C. oil bath. Hydrogen cyanide was fed to the mixture by vapor transfer by passing nitrogen gas through liquid hydrogen cyanide cooled to 0.degree. C. in an ice bath. Under these conditions, the saturated vapor mixture was approximately 30-40% hydrogen cyanide. The hydrogen cyanide vapor was admitted to the reaction vessel via a syringe needle passed through the rubber septum and placed slightly above the liquid level. The vapor absorbed into the reaction mixture. The reflux condenser was cooled to -14.degree. C. to prevent escape of nonabsorbed hydrogen cyanide. Progress of reactions was monitored by removing samples with a syringe, diluting with acetone, and analyzing by capillary gas chromatography (cross-linked methyl silicone column, 25 m, 0.2 mm inner diameter).

The flask was charged with 35 g of crystals of the salt of tetrafluorosuberic acid and hexamethylenediamine prepared according to the following procedure. Tetrafluorosuberic acid (25.00 g) was dissolved in 250 mL of hot ethanol, and 11.79 g of hexamethylenediamine were dissolved in 100 mL of hot ethanol. The resulting solutions were combined to produce a suspension containing white crystals. The suspension was stirred for 10 minutes, cooled to 0.degree. C., filtered, washed with ethanol, and dried in vacuo to give 35.97 g of white crystals. This material was immediately immediately charged to the flask as described above.
The flask was heated to 220.degree. C., and the water formed was allowed to reflux. Over a period of about 1 hour, the temperature of the flask was raised to 290.degree. C. The water in the condensor was drained. The water formed in the reaction was allowed to distill off. Over the next hour the temperature of the flask was slowly raised to 300.degree. C., giving a viscous amber melt. The melt was allowed to cool, giving 30 g of an amber polymer.

EXAMPLE 52
Preparation of Partially Fluorinated Liquid Crystalline Polyester Polymer (A)
Alpha-methylstilbenediol diacetate (2.62 g), hexadecafluorododecane-1,12-dicarboxylate (5.0 g), and 0.01 g sodium acetate were added to a polymer tube with a side arm. The resulting mixture was melted in a metal bath at 200.degree. C., and a needle with a slow purge of nitrogen was placed at the bottom of the resulting melt. The melt was held at 200.degree. C. for 18 hours while acetic acid distilled off. The temperature was then raised to 250.degree. C. for 5 hours. The nitrogen purge was stopped, and the pressure was reduced to about 1 mm Hg for 1 hour. The resulting combination was cooled to give an off-white solid polymer. The polymer melted at 230.degree. C. to a smectic anisotropic state. The resulting melt remained anisotropic until a temperature of 310.degree. C. was reached, at which point the melt was isotropic. Upon cooling, the smectic state returned at about 270.degree. C., and remained anisotropic until the polymer hardened at about 220.degree. C.
This polymer had an enantiotropic anisotropic range of 80.degree. C., as opposed to a monotropic anisotropic range of 7.degree. C. for the corresponding nonfluorinated polymer. The anisotropic state for the fluorinated polymer was in a more highly ordered smectic state, as compared to the nematic anisotropic state of the nonfluorinated polymer.

4,4'-diacetoxybenzoyl phenol (2.00 g), tetrafluorosuberic acid (1.91 g), and 0.01 g calcium acetate were placed in a small polymer tube with a side arm. The resulting mixture was heated to 250.degree. C. and nitrogen was slowly purged through the resulting melt for about 18 hours. The melt was cooled to give an off-white polymer. Fibers could be pulled from the melt. The polymer melted at 215.degree. C. to an anisotropic phase. It remained anisotropic upon heating to 400.degree. C. This yielded an anisotropic range of greater than 185.degree. C., as compared to the nonfluorinated polymer, which had an anisotropic range of 115.degree. C.
