Abstract

The present invention relates to a modifier represented by Formula 1, a method of preparing the same, a modified conjugated diene-based polymer having a high modification ratio which includes a modifier-derived functional group, and a method of preparing the polymer.

Claims (38)

1. A modifier represented by Formula 1:

wherein, in Formula 1,

R 1 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms,

R 2 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and

R 3 is a connecting group represented by Formula 2 or Formula 3,

wherein, in Formula 2 or Formula 3,

R 6 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; or a substituent represented by Formula 2-1,

R 7 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and

R 8 to R 10 are each independently a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms,

wherein, in Formula 2-1,

R 11 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and

R 12 and R 13 are each independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms.

2. The modifier of claim 1 , wherein

in Formula 1,

R 1 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms,

R 2 is an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and

R 3 is a connecting group represented by Formula 2 or Formula 3,

wherein, in Formula 2 or Formula 3, R 6 is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a substituent represented by Formula 2-1, and R 7 to R 10 are an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms,

wherein, in Formula 2-1, R 11 is an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R 12 and R 13 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

3. The modifier of claim 1 , wherein the modifier represented by Formula 1 comprises compounds represented by Formulae 1-1 to 1-5:

4. The modifier of claim 1 , wherein the modifier is a modifier for a conjugated diene-based polymer.

5. A method of preparing the modifier represented by Formula 1 of claim 1 , the method comprising:

performing a first reaction of a compound represented by Formula 4 and an alkyl ketone compound to prepare a compound represented by Formula 5; and

performing a second reaction of the compound represented by Formula 5 and a compound represented by Formula 6:

H 2 N—R 14   [Formula 4]

wherein, in Formula 1, and Formulae 4 to 6,

R 1 to R 5 are the same as defined in claim 1 ,

R 14 is a substituent represented by Formula 4-1 or Formula 4-2,

R 15 is

wherein R 6 and R 7 are the same as defined in claim 1 , and

A is chlorine (Cl) or bromine (Br),

wherein, in Formula 4-1 or Formula 4-2,

R 7 to R 10 are the same as defined in claim 1 , and

R 16 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; or —RNH 2 , wherein R is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted or unsubstituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the compound represented by Formula 4 and the alkyl ketone compound are reacted at a molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:2.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the compound represented by Formula 5 and the compound represented by Formula 6 are reacted at a molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:2.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first reaction is performed in a temperature range of 110° C. to 160° C.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second reaction is performed in a temperature range of 20° C. to 60° C.
