Abstract:
Disclosed is a process of preparation of polyphenylene ethers from monohydric phenols, which possess alkyl substituents in the two ortho-positions and, if desired, in the meta-position, but not in the para-position, by an oxidative coupling reaction with oxygen at from 15 to 50.degree.C and under from 1 to 10 bar in the presence of a catalyst complex, of a solvent and, if required, of an activator. In this process,the conversion of the phenols is carried out in two or more reaction zones. Some or all of the solvent, catalyst complex phenols and where relevant, activator are initially added to one of the reaction zones and are circulated in the other reaction zone and about 60-100% of the stoichiometric amount of oxygen required for the oxidative coupling is introduced into the first reaction zone and from 0 to about 40% of the said stoichiometric amount is introduced into the second reaction zone. This process is interesting in that it makes it possible to carry out oxidative coupling of phenols with oxygen in a very economic and reliable manner, with very high space-time yields, formation of only a small amount of by-products, and minimum emissions of gas and volatile components.
Abstract:
High molecular weight polyphenylene ethers are prepared from monohydric phenols by an oxidative coupling reaction with oxygen in the presence of a solvent and of a catalyst complex consisting of a copper salt and an organic amine of the general formula where R1 is C2-C20-alkylidene, preferably C2-C12-alkylid-ene, or alkenylidene, R2 is H or C1-C12-alkyl, preferably C1-C4-alkyl, or C5-C8-cycloalkyl, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by functional groups, and n is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably 1 or 2. Preferred functional groups are -OR3, -NHR3 or -SR3, in which R3 is H C1-C12-alkyl or C5-C8-cycloalkyl, and the most suitable amines are 3-tert.-butoxypropylamine, 4-tert.-butoxy-butylamine, 3-tert.-butoxy-2-methylpropylamine, 3-tert.-butoxy-2,3-dimethylpropylamine, 3-tert.-butoxy-2-methyl-octylamine and N-methyl-N-(4-tert.-butoxybutyl)-amine. The polyphenylene ethers can be processed to moldings by a thermoplastic method.
