Process for preparing guanidino-functional monomers
View Patent ↗A process for preparing guanidino-functional, free radically polymerizable compounds comprises (a) combining (1) an amine compound comprising (i) at least one primary aliphatic amino group and (ii) at least one secondary aliphatic amino group, primary aromatic amino group, or secondary aromatic amino group, and (2) a guanylating agent; (b) allowing or inducing reaction of the amine compound and the guanylating agent to form a guanylated amine compound; (c) combining (1) the guanylated amine compound, and (2) a reactive monomer comprising (i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and (ii) at least one group that is reactive with an amino group; and (d) allowing or inducing reaction of the guanylated amine compound and the reactive monomer to form a guanidino-functional, free radically polymerizable compound.
1. A process comprising
(a) combining
(1) an amine compound comprising (i) at least one primary aliphatic amino group and (ii) at least one secondary aliphatic amino group, primary aromatic amino group, or secondary aromatic amino group, and
(2) a guanylating agent;
(b) allowing or inducing reaction of said amine compound and said guanylating agent to form a guanylated amine compound;
(c) combining
(1) said guanylated amine compound, and
(2) a reactive monomer comprising (i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and (ii) at least one group that is reactive with an amino group; and
(d) allowing or inducing reaction of said guanylated amine compound and said reactive monomer to form a guanidino-functional, free radically polymerizable compound;
wherein said amine compound is represented by the following general formula
R 4 NH—R 2 —NH 2
wherein R 4 is selected from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl and combinations thereof; and R 2 is selected from hydrocarbylene, heterohydrocarbylene, and combinations thereof;
with the proviso that when R 4 is hydrogen, R 2 is aralkylene or is a heterohydrocarbylene group comprising at least one secondary aliphatic amino group, primary aromatic amino group, or secondary aromatic amino group; and
wherein said guanylating agent is selected from O-alkylisourea salts, S-alkylisothiourea salts, carbodiimides, cyanamides, amidino-functional salts, and combinations thereof; wherein the process is carried out without isolating said guanylated amine.
2. The process of claim 1 , wherein said R 4 is selected from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl, and combinations thereof; and said R 2 is hydrocarbylene.
3. The process of claim 1 , wherein said R 4 is hydrogen or hydrocarbyl.
4. The process of claim 1 , wherein said guanylating agent is selected from O-alkylisourea salts, carbodiimides, and combinations thereof.
5. The process of claim 1 , wherein said reactive monomer is selected from ethylenically unsaturated isocyanates, ethylenically unsaturated acyl halides, and combinations thereof.
6. The process of claim 1 , wherein said reactive monomer is (meth)acryloyl-functional.
7. The process of claim 1 , wherein said reactive monomer is selected from (meth)acyloyl-functional isocyanates and combinations thereof.
8. The process of claim 1 , wherein said guanylated amine and said guanidino-functional, free radically polymerizable compound each comprises at least one group of formula R 2 N—C(=NR)NH—where each R is independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or a combination thereof.
9. A process comprising
(a) combining
(1) an amine compound comprising (i) only one or two primary aliphatic amino groups and (ii) only one secondary aliphatic amino group, primary aromatic amino group, or secondary aromatic amino group, and
(2) a guanylating agent;
(b) allowing or inducing reaction of said amine compound and said guanylating agent to form a guanylated amine compound;
(c) combining
(1) said guanylated amine compound, and
(2) a reactive monomer comprising (i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and (ii) at least one isocyanato group; and
allowing or inducing reaction of said guanylated amine compound and said reactive monomer to form a guanidino-functional, free radically polymerizable compound;
wherein said amine compound is represented by the following general formula
R 4 NH—R 2 —NH 2
wherein R 4 is selected from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, heterohydrocarbyl, and combinations thereof and R 2 is selected from hydrocarbylene, heterohydrocarbylene, and combinations thereof with the proviso that when R 4 is hydrogen, R 2 is aralkylene or is a heterohydrocarbylene group comprising at least one secondary aliphatic amino group, primary aromatic amino group, or secondary aromatic amino group, and
wherein said guanylating agent is selected from O-alkylisourea salts, S-alkylisothiourea salts, carbodiimides, cyanamides, amidino-functional salts, and combinations thereof wherein the process is carried out without isolating said guanylated amine.
10. The process of claim 9 , wherein said reactive monomer is selected from (meth)acyloyl-functional isocyanates and combinations thereof.
11. The process of claim 1 wherein R 4 is hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl, or aryl; and R 2 is alkylene or aralkylene.
