PATENT DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The present invention is a method of manufacturing siloxane or silane compounds which contain acyloxy groups which are important for efficient treatment of surfaces of inorganic solid bodies, for introduction of functional silyl groups or functional siloxanoxy groups into siloxane polymers, organic polymers, or similar polymers, as well as for use as functional groups of siloxanes curable by atmospheric moisture.

Polymers or compounds having silyl groups directly bonded to hydrolyzable functional groups such as alkoxysilyl groups, chlorosilyl groups, etc., find important industrial application as modified silicone-type raw materials used for treating surfaces by hydrolyzing the functional groups followed by the formation of siloxane bonds by dehydration and condensation, or for curing by formation of cross-linking bonds between polymers. As a rule, silyl groups having hydrolyzable functional groups, such as alkoxysilyl groups, chlorosilyl groups, etc., are produced by hydrosilation of unsaturated organic compounds or polymers having unsaturated groups with hydroalkoxysilanes, or hydrochlorosilanes. However, such reactions of hydrosilation of the aforementioned hydrosilane compounds are often characterized by a slow reaction rate, requires a large amount of catalysts, and takes considerable time. Typically, such reactions have poor selectivity and the product is produced as a mixture of isomers. Furthermore in order to maintain catalytic activity, hydrosilation reactions with hydroalkoxysilanes or hydrochlorosilanes often require the presence of oxygen. This is dangerous because it may cause explosion or fire.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application (Hei) 9-31414 describes hydrosilation of a vinyl group which is present in polyimide formed by reacting tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and a diaminopolysiloxaneo having a side vinyl group. The aforementioned hydrosilation reaction is conducted with the use of a hydrosilane represented by the following formula: X.sub.3-t SiH(R.sup.9).sub.t, where R.sup.9 is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, X is a hydrolyzable group, except for an alkoxy group, and t is an integer from 0 to 2. Examples of the aforementioned hydrosilanes are methyldiacetoxysilane and triacetoxysilane. Practical examples of the aforementioned publication refer to the use of methyldiacetoxysilane. The present inventors have unexpectedly found that the aforementioned methyldiacetoxysilane and triacetoxysilane possess extremely poor hydrosilation activity with respect to various olefin-type unsaturated compounds and acetylene-type unsaturated compounds, as well as to polyimides having olefin-type unsaturated side groups. In other words, it was unexpectedly found that hydro (monoacyloxy)silanes possess extremely high activity with respect to the last-mentioned olefin-type unsaturated compounds and acetylene-type unsaturated compounds.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems associated with hydrosilation involving the use of the aforementioned hydroalkoxysilane, hydrochlorosilane, or hydrodiacyloxysilane and hydrotriacyloxysilane, more specifically the problem associated with low activity during the hydrosilation reaction. Another object is to solve the problem associated with low regio-selectivity in the aforementioned reaction. More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for performing the hydrosilation reaction efficiently and economically with regard to the reaction time and catalyst activity, as well as to improve regio-selectivity in the reaction. Another object of the invention is to make it possible to conduct the hydrosilation reaction in an inert environment and under low oxygen partial pressure due to high catalytic activity and extended catalyst activity, thus reducing the danger of explosion and fire in conducting the hydrosilation reaction.

The present inventors have found that silyl compounds can be produced with high yield at a high reaction rate and with high position selectivity by producing functional silane compounds by carrying out a hydrosilation reaction with the use of a platinum catalyst between Si--H functional silane compounds and various olefin-functional or acetylene-functional unsaturated compounds (the aforementioned compounds differ from polyimides derived from diaminopolysiloxane having olefin-type unsaturated side groups). The aforementioned effects are achieved by having in the aforementioned Si--H functional silicon compound one acyloxy group bonded directly to the aforementioned silicon atom. It has been found that the above-described hydrosilation reaction can be rapidly carried out under low partial oxygen pressure or without the presence of oxygen.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The present invention is a method of manufacturing acyloxysilane compounds having functional groups bonded to a silicon atom via Si--C bonds comprising reacting in a hydrosilation reaction an unsaturated compound (a) selected from the group consisting of (i) styrene or styrene derivative, (ii) vinylsilane compound, (iii) siloxane compound having a vinyl group bonded directly to a silicon atom, (iv) epoxy-functional olefin, (v) diene compound, (vi) allyl compound described by formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH.sub.2 X, where X is a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, or an acyloxy group, (vii) olefin compound having a terminal vinyl group, and (viii) acetylene-type compound with a silicon compound (b) that contains a hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom and an acyloxy group, represented by general formula

where each R is independently selected from the group consisting of an organic group, a siloxy group, and a siloxanoxy group and R' is a hydrogen atom or an organic group in the presence of a platinum catalyst.

where each R is independently selected from the group consisting of an organic group, a siloxy group, and a siloxanoxy group; and R' is a hydrogen atom or an organic group.

When R is an organic group, R can be for example, an alkyl group, alkenyl group, aryl group, halogenated alkyl group, halogenated aryl group, alkoxy group, and aryloxy group. For example, R can be: (1) an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, cyclohexyl, n-octyl, undecyl, and heptadecyl; (2) an alkenyl group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, such as propenyl and butenyl; (3) an aryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, such as phenyl; (4) a halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms (the halogen atom can be F, Cl, or Br), such as a chloromethyl, fluoromethyl, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl; (5) a halogenated aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms (the halogen atom can be F, Cl, or Br) such as a p-chlorophenyl; (6) an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butoxy, n-pentyloxy, n-hexyloxy, cyclopentyloxy, cyclohexyloxy, 2-methoxyethoxy, and 2-ethoxyethoxy; and (7) an aryloxy group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, such as a phenoxy group.

An acyloxysilane compound having functional group bonded to a silicon atom via Si--C bond obtained by the present method may have silane structure or polysiloxane structure, depending on the structure of the silicon compound (b) with hydrogen atom bonded to the silicon and acyloxy group as a starting material. In other words, when R in general formula (1): HSiR.sub.2 (O.sub.2 CR') is an organic group, the obtained acyloxysilane compound will have a silane structure, and when R in the aforementioned formula is a siloxy group or a siloxanoxy group, the obtained compound will have a polysiloxane structure.

The hydrosilation reaction of the present invention can be carried out at a temperature between 10.degree. C. and 250.degree. C. However, for achieving an appropriate reaction rate and for stable existence of substances participating in the reaction and of the obtained products, it is recommended that the temperature be between 20.degree. C. and 200.degree. C.

The use of solvents is not generally necessary for the purposes of the present invention. However, in order to dissolve some substances, facilitate control of the reaction temperature, and addition of catalytic components, solvents for hydrocarbon-type compounds or solvents for catalytic components can be used. Solvents most suitable for the above purposes are saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, such as hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, octane, dodecane, benzene, toluene, xylene, dodecylbenzene; as well as halogenated hydrocarbon compounds, such as chloroform, methylene chloride, chlorobenzene, and orthodichlorobenzene.
