| titleOfInvention | Polymerization of epoxide compounds |
| abstract | Solid polymers of vicinal epoxide compounds are prepared by contacting the epoxide or epoxides with a catalyst comprising either (a) a phosphate of a Group IIIb element having a surface area of from 75 to 700 square metal per gram, or (b) the product of the reaction of an alkoxide of a Group IIIb element containing 3 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkoxide group with a phosphorus-containing acid having the formula (R(OH)2P = O where R is OH- or a hydrocarbon radical which may contain from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, at a temperature in the range 20 DEG to 150 DEG C. The examples refer to use of catalyst (a) to polymerize propylene oxide, ethylene oxide, and a mixture of propylene and ethylene oxides, and to use of catalyst (b) to polymerize propylene oxide, styrene oxide, 1,2-epoxy-butane, ethylene oxide, and a mixture of ethylene and propylene oxides.ALSO:An alkoxide containing from 3 to 18 carbon atoms of a Group IIIBETA element, e.g. aluminium, boron, gallium, indium, thallium, soluble in an inert organic solvent, e.g. benzone, acetone, n-hexane, is reacted in a liquid medium with a phosphorus-containing acid R(OH)2P = O, where R is -OH or a hydrocarbon radical which may contain from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, e.g. alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, in at least 1: 1 molar ratio, to give a catalyst for polymerization of vincinal epoxides. Suitable acids include orthophosphoric acid, methylphosphoric acid, ethylphosphoric acid, hexylphosphoric acid, phenyl-phosproric acid, alkyl-substituted-phenylphosphoric acid, cyclohexylphosphoric acid, alkyl - substituted - cyclohexylphosphoric acid. The alkoxide and the acid are reacted at a temperature between 20 DEG C. and the boiling-point of the solvent until no further reaction product is formed. The resulting precipitate is filtered off and dried in an oven at 110 DEG F. or in vacuo. The preferred alkoxide is aluminium isopropoxide. An example is given.ALSO:A catalyst for polymerization of epoxides is either (a) a phosphate of a Group IIIb element, e.g. Al, B, Ga, In, Tl, having surface area from 75 to 700 square metres per gram, or (b) the product of reaction in at least 1 : 1 molar ratio and in a liquid medium of an alkoxide of a Group IIIb element containing from 3 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkoxide group with an acid R(OH)2P=O, where R is OH- or a hydrocarbon radical which may contain from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. Catalyst (b) must contain at least 5% of carbon by weight of total catalyst. Examples refer to preparation of catalyst (a) by calcination at 600 DEG C. of the gel produced by addition of 85% phosphoric acid to an aqueous solution of hydrated aluminium chloride, and preparation of catalyst (b) either by addition of 85% phosphoric acid to a benzene solution of aluminum isopropoxide, or by reaction of phenyl phosphonic acid with aluminium isopropoxide in ether solution. The resulting precipitates are dried in vacuo at ambient temperatures. |
