Description

~07ZlZZ

1,1'-Bis-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dialkylphenyl)-methylenes which contain a tertiary alkyl group in the 3-position an~
which are used as antioxidants for rubber, are kno~n from U ~. Patent 2,796,444. British Patent 1,116,127 describesS
as s-tabilisers for polyolefines, 1,1 bis-(3,5-dialkyl-2-hydloxyphenyl)-3-thioalkyl-propanes in which the alkyl group, which is in the 3-position~is branched at the a-carbon atom.
The present invention relates to compounds of the general formula I

-OH OH

R5- C~ ~ (I)
2 / C \ R2 wherein Rl denotes an alkyl group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms and which is not branched in the a-posi-tion, R2 denotes a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or a hydrogen atom, R3 and R5 each denote a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R4 denotes a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to -20 carbon atoms wherein the carbon chain can be interrupted by sulphur atoms.
In the formula I, P.l is preferabl~r an alkyl group which has 1 to ~, particularly 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and which . `

is not branched a~ the a-carbon atom, and R2 is preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

The alkyl radical R~, which is interrupted by sul-phur, is preferably composed in such a way that at least 2 carbon atoms are linked between two sulphur atoms. R4 is particularly preferentially an alkyl radical, particularly an alkyl radical having 4 to 16 carbon atoms.

R3 is preferably a hydrogen atom or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Preferably, R3 and R5 are, indepen-dently of one another, each a methyl group or a hydrogen atom, in particular R3 and R5 are a hydrogen atom or R3 is a methyl group and R5 is a hydrogen atom.

Particularly valuable compounds of the formula I
are those in which Rl denotes the methyl or ethyl group and R2 preferably denotes an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, particularly also the methyl or ethyl group.

In formula I Rl and R2 particularly preferentially represent the methyl group and R4 preferakly represents an alkyl radical having 4 to 16 carbon atoms.

The compounds of the formula I are new and are obtained by processes which are in tnemselves known, by reacting, in the presence of an acid catalyst, a phenGl of the formula II o~

wherein Rl ~nd R2 have the same me~ling as in formula I, with a thioaldehyde of the formula III

HC - CH ~ CH - S - R4 (IIl) ~herein R3 and R4 and R5 have the same meani-ng as in formu a I. ~no~n processes are, for exampleS described in 3ritish Patent Specification 1,116,127. In general, about 2 mols of phenol are used here to about 1 mol of thioaldehyde.
Examples of catalysts which can be used are: hydro-gen chloride, sulphuric acid, zinc chloride or trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction can be carried out with or ~ithout a so -vent.
Examples of suitable solvents are: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons 5 halogenated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols or ethers.
It is prefera~le to employ as the catalyst a liqu d Lewis acid e-therate-adduct which acts at the sa~e time as the reaction medium. Particularly good yields are achieved here if at least 3 mols of the liquid catalyst are used per mol of reaction product.
The following should be mentioned as Lewis acids ~rhich are suitable for -the formation of ether-adducts: aluminium trihalides and boron trihalides, for example alumini-~m tri-fluoride 9 trichloride Qnd -tribromide Qnd boron trifluoride and -crichloride.

Preferred catalys-ts are adducts fo~.ned from boron tri~luoride and ethers, particularly diethyl ether.
The aldehydes of the ~ormula III are obtai,1ed by carrying out an addition reaction, in the presence of a base - -such as triethylamine, between mercaptans R4SH, the radical R4 ha~ing the same meaning as in formula I, and corresponding unsaturated aldehydes.
Examples o~ compounds of the formula I are~

The compounds of the formula I are used as stabilisers ~or elastomers, such as, for example, natural rubber, poly-butadiene, ethylene-propylene copolymers, propylene-butene-l copolymers, propylene-isobu'ylene copoiymers, s~yr~ne-bvtadiene copolymers, and terpolymers of ethylene and propy-lene with a diene, such as, for example 3 hexadie~e, dicyclopentadiene or ethylidenenorbolnene; and styrene poly-mers which have been modified by rubber phases so ~s to be impact-resistant, such as acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, acrylonitrile/styreneS or acrylic ester copolymers.
In this field -the compo~nds of the formula I, accor-ding to the invention7 have, surprisingly, a better action than compovnds which are structura]ly closely related5 which are described in British Patent Specification 1,116~127.
The compounds oY the ~ormula I are incorporated in the substrates in a concentration of 0.005 to 5~ b-y weight, reia-tive to the material to be stabilised.
Preferably, 0.01 to 1.0, particularly preferably 0.02 to 0.5, % by weight of the compovlds~ relative to -the material to be stabilised, are incorporated in-to the latter. The incorporation can be carried out, for example, by mixin~ in at least one of the compoulLds of -the for~ula I and optionally ~ . ~

A) Preparation of the compounds Examples 1-6: 1,1-Bis-(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxyphen-yl)-3-(n-dodecylthio)-n-butane.
27.2 g of 3-~n-dodecylthio)-butanal-1 are added, over the course of 10 hours at 0-5C, to 24.4 g of 2,4-dimethylphenol and 46.9 g of boron trifluoride ethyl-etherate and the reaction mixture is stirred for a fur'her 24 hours at room temperature. A white paste of crystals is formed, which is treated with 70 ml of methanol while stirring a~d cooling. The suspension is warmed to 50C for half an hour and cooled once more and the crystals are filtered off.
The product is purified by washing successively with methanol, water and again methanol and is dried at 40C.
This gives 1,1-bis-(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydro~Jphenyl)-3-(n-dodecylthio)-n-butane (stabiliser No. 1) in the form of white crystals of melting point 106-108C.

-- . , When isolating the compo-mds of Examples 2 - 5 abore, consideration must be given under certain circumstances to the fact tha-t the tendency of the su~stances to c~ystallise varies greatly. If appropriate, ice water must be added to the reaction mixture and the organic phase must be washed until it is neutral and must be dried, after which it can be converted into the crystalline products either 'D-y evaporation and treatment ~nth methanol or by purification by colunLn chromatograpny.
Example 7 1,1-Bis-(3-methyl-5~tert.-butyl~2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(ri-octyl-thio)-n-butane.
If, in Example 1, the 2,4-~me'~hylphenol is replaced by 2-methyl-4-tert.-butylphenol, ~n identical procedllre gives 1,1-bis-(3-methyl-5-tert.butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)~3-n-octyl-thio)-n-butane (stabiliser No. 6) in the form of a viscGlls oil, which is freed from by-prodllc-ts by column chromatography.
The elementary analysis agrees with the formula indi-cated.
Example & 1,1-Bis-(3-ethyl-5-tert.-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3 (n-dodecylthio~~n-butane.
If, in Example 1, the 274-dimethylphenol is re~laced by 2-ethyl-L~tert.-butylpherlol, an identical procedure gives 1,1-bis-(3-ethyl-5-tert.-butyl-2-nydroxyphenyl)-3-(n~
dodecyl-thio)-n-butane (stabiliser No. 8) in the form of a ViSCGUS oil, which is freed from by-produGts by colu~

B) Technolo~ical examples ExamPles 9-13 Stabilisation of polybutadiene rubber.
100 parts of polybutadiene ("Solprene 250" of Messrs.
Phillips), which is pre-stabilised with 0.36% of 2,6-ditert.-butyl-p-cresol, are kneaded for 30 minutes in a Brabender plastograph at 150C and 60 revolutions/minute with an addi-tional 0.1 part of each of the stabilisers shown in Table 2. The resistance to kneading is continuously registered in the form of the torque during this time. A maximum occurs in the torque owing to crosslinking which sets in initially, and subsequent degradation. The effectiveness of the stabi-lisers is expressed by a reduction in the torque maximum.
The gel content which can be determined aft~r the Brabender treatment is considered a further criterion of the protective action of the stabilisers incorporated. For this purpose, 1 g of the sa~ple is dissolved overnight at room temperature in 100 ml of toluene. These solutions are filtered through glass wool, the gel particles which are retained are rinsed with a little toluene and the filtered solutions are evaporated to dryness and are dried to a con-stant weight. The gel content of a sample is obtained from the following calculation:
Gel content in % = T x loo E = total weight of the sample tested A = weight of the dissolved fraction;
In Examples 9-11 known stabilisers ha~e been used for comparison;

criterion o~ the protective action of the s-tabilisers incor-porated. For this purpose, the test samples arekep-t at 150C on aluminium suppor-ts in a circulating air oven and their Mooney value is determined after 20 hours. (DIN
53523,ASTM D ~27-57 T). The Mooney value is understood as the torque which has to be applied to turn a cylind~ical disc (rotor) at a speed of revolution of 2 revolutions/minute in chamber filled with the sample. The value is read off at a temperat-ure of 100C after the rotor has been rur~ing for a period of 4 minutes. Higher Mooney values denote cross-link7ng of the plastic and hence damage caused by the aging in the oven.
