(54) HALOGEN-CONTAINING 1 ,3,5-TRIAZINE-DICARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS
FLAMEPROOFING AGENTS IN SYNTHETIC
PLASTICS
(71) We, CIBA-GEIGY AG, a Swiss Body Corporate, of Basle,
Switzerland, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to halogen-containing heterocyclic dicarboxylic acids, to their acid halides, acid esters, acid amides and acid salts; to the use thereof as flameproofing agents in synthetic plastics; and to thermoplastic polyesters and polyamides containing, partially or completely, these dicarboxylic acids.
Thermoplastic polyesters, particularly polyalkylene terephthalates, have achieved commerical importance as valuable moulding compounds. For some applications, however, the properties of these polyesters do not satisfy the requirements they are expected to meet. In order to compensate for this disadvantage, additives are added to the polyester, or copolyesters with suitable comonomers are provided.
In order to impart to polyester a noninflammable finish, it is customary to add to the polyester a flameproofing agent. There have already also been suggested, however, halogen-containing monomeric dicarboxylic acids and diols, which are concomitantly incorporated into the polyester in order not to cause impairment of the mechanical properties, compared with that caused by the finish being imparted by addition of the said agents, see German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,453,450; or in order to partially improve these properties when the noninflammable finish is imparted, e.g. the dimensional stability under heat. It is also known that this improvement in properties can be achieved with dicarboxylic acids containing an striazine ring, see German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 2,533,675 and 2,533,715.
Also the monomers suggested hitherto are not without disadvantages. Thus the halogen-containing diols based on benzimidazolones are not very reactive, which necessitates uneconomical reaction times in the production of polyesters. Other diols have only a low thermal stability and decompose at the temperatures necessary for producing polyesters, e.g. brominated bisphenol. The known halogenated aromatic dicarboxylic acid tetrabromophthalic acid can be incorporated by condensation into the polyester chains only with difficulty, probably on account of the possible anhydride formation.
There is thus need for a flameproofing agent which can be used both as an additive and as an agent that can be incorporated into the polymer chains of a thermoplastic polyester or polyamide. At the same time, there must be no reduction or only a slight reduction in the thermal stability of the flameproofed polymers; there must be no discoloration or at most only a slight discoloration caused; and the polymers to which a noninflammable finish has been imparted must have good electrical properties. In some cases it should also be possible to obtain an improvement in the dimensional stability under heat (equal to a raising of the second order transition temperature).
It is the object of the invention to provide a flameproofing agent of this nature, and also the polymers flameproofed therewith, particularly polyesters and polyamides.
The present invention relates therefore to halogen-containing heterocyclic dicarboxylic acids of the general formula I
wherein
R1 represents alkylene or cycloalkylene having I to 17 C atoms, phenylene, benzylene, halogenated phenylene and benzylene of the formulae
respectively, in which X represents chlorine or bromine atoms, and n represents an integer from 1 to 4,
R2, R3 and R4 are identical or different and represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl or cycloalkyl each having 1 to 18 C atoms, phenyl, benzyl, or a halogenated phenyl or benzyl radical of the formulae
respectively, in which m represents an integer from 1 to 5, and X has the aforesaid meaning, with at least one of the radicals R' to R4 representing one of the halogencontaining groups: and to the acid halides, acid esters; acid amides and salts thereof.
In the formula I, n preferably represents 2, particularly 1, and m preferably represents 1--3, particularly 1 or 2. The symbol X preferably represents a bromine atom. As alkylene, R' preferably contains 1--12, especially 3-10, C atoms, and as cycloalkylene preferably 5-7, especially 6, ring carbon atoms. If R1 is phenylene.
it is preferably paraphenylene. If R' is benzylene, its methylene group is preferably bonded to the N atom, and it is preferably the p-benzylene group.
As alkyl and cycloalkyl, R2 preferably contains 1 to 12, particularly 1 to 4, C atoms and 5-7, preferably 6, ring carbon atoms, respectively, and represents in particular phenyl, halogenated phenyl and, more especially, a hydrogen atom.
R3 and R4 can be different but are preferably identical, and are preferably a hydrogen atom, alkyl having 1--12, particularly 1H, C atoms, phenyl or ialogenated phenyl.
Preferably, R1 and/or R3 and R4 represent the halogen-containing groups. The position of the chlorine or bromine atoms in the mono- or divalent halogenophenyl and halogenobenzyl radicals depends here essentially on the halogenation sequence and on the production method. In the production process, there can also be formed mixtures of differing degrees of halogenation, which likewise fall within the scope of the present invention. Examples of R' to R4 as halogenated groups are: p-bromo- or p-chlorohenyl and p-bromo- or p-chlorobenzyl, 2,4-dibromo- or 2,4 dichlorophenyl and,4-dib romo- or 2,4-dichlorobenzyl, 2,4,6-tribromo- or 2,4,6- trichlorophenyl and 2,4,6-tribromo- or 2,4,6-trichlorobenzyl, 2-bromo- or 2chlorophenylene and 2-bromo- or 2-chlorobenzylene, 2,6-dichloro- or 2,6dibromophenylene and 2,6-dichloro- or 2,6-dibromobenzylene, or tetrachloro- or tetrabromophenylene and tetrachloro- or tetrabromobenzylene.
Further examples of R' and R4 are methyl, ethyl, propyl, i-propyl, n-, i- or tbutyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, heptadecyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, phenyl or benzyl, and their divalent representatives of the alkylene, cycloalkylene, alkylidene or cycloalkylidene series, as well as phenylene and benzylene.
Preferred compounds are 2 - [bis - (4 - bromophenyl) - amino] - 4,6 - bis (4 - carboxyanilino) - s - triazine and 2 - [bis - (4 - bromophenyl) - amino] 4,6 - bis - (2 - bromo - 4 - carboxylanilino) - 5 triazine.
The invention relates also to acid derivatives, by which are meant the compounds of the formula I which are modified on one carboxyl group or preferably on both carboxyl groups. These can be the acid halides, preferably the bromides and chlorides, and also the esters, amides and salts.
The esters can be formed from alcohols which can contain, for example, I to 24 or 1 to 18 C atoms, and which are derived from alkanols, cycloalkanois, or optionally alkyl-substituted phenols or benzyl alcohols.
The acid amides can be formed from ammonia or from primary or secondary amines, which contain, for example, 1 to 24 or 1--18 C atoms. The substituents can be alkyl, cycloalkyl or optionally alkyl-substituted phenyl or benzyl.
In the case of the salts, these can be ammonium salts or metal salts. The ammonium salts can be derived from ammonia and from primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines. The metal salts can be derived from the metal elements of the main groups, subgroups and transition groups of the periodic system. A preferred group of metals are those which further improve noninflammability, for example alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals.
The dicarboxylic acid, or derivatives thereof, according to the invention can be produced by processes known per se. Besides the direct chlorination and/or bromination, there are also suitable the processes described in the German
Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,121,184. The dicarboxylic acids according to the invention are produced by a process wherein
a) a compound of the formula II
wherein
R' to R4 represent the halogen-free radicals of the dicarboxylic acids of the formula 1, with at least one of the radicals R' to R4 representing phenyl, benzyl or phenylene or benzylene, or partially brominated and/or chlorinated radicals derived therefrom, and R5 being halogen, hydroxyl, an alcohol radical or amino radical, or the group MO- wherein M represents a cation, is brominated and/or chlorinated: or
b) 1 mol of dichloro-s-triazine aminosubstituted with the R3R4N group is reacted with 2 mols of amino acid or amino acid ester of the formula
or 1 mol of monochloro-s-triazine disubstituted with the
group is reacted with 1 mol of amine of the formula R3,R4NH, wherein the radicals R1 to R5 have the aforementioned meanings, and at least one of the radicals R' to
R4 represents a halogen-containing group.
By partially brominated and/or chlorinated radicals in the reaction a) are meant those phenyl, benzyl, phenylene or benzylene radicals which contain hydrogen atoms replaceable by bromine or chlorine.
The reaction a) can be performed by a process wherein a triazinedicarboxylic acid of the formula II, or derivatives thereof (produced e.g. by the processes of the
German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,121,184), is dissolved or suspended in a suitable inert organic solvent, e.g. glacial acetic acid, and, advantageously with the addition of a catalyst and of a hydrogen-halide-binding agent, reacted with chlorine and/or bromine. The reaction temperatures are preferably between 0 C and 1200C. The desired halogen-containing dicarboxylic acids crystallise generally from the reaction mixture, or they can be precipitated and recrystallised for purification.
The general process b) for producing the dicarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof, according to the invention is suitably carried out by reacting cyanuric acid chloride, or an amino-substituted dichloro-s-triazine, with an amino acid or amino ester in the presence of a base and water in the temperature range preferably of 0 to 100 C.
Stated more precisely, the compounds according to the invention can be produced essentially according to two process variants which are given in the following:
Process 1
The amino-blocking group is firstly introduced into the triazine nucleus by reacting cyanuric acid chloride with a suitable amino compound at a temperature of about 0 to 100C in the presence of a base. This is a general process which is described by Thurston et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 73, 2992(1951). The second stage comprises reacting the amino-substituted dichloro-s-triazine, formed as intermediate, with an amino acid or with one of the derivatives thereof, e.g. an amino ester, with the two chlorine atoms being replaced by the amino acid groups or, e.g., amino ester groups. The last-mentioned reaction is performed in boiling water in the presence of a base.
Process 2
In this process, the two amino acid groups or, e.g., amino ester groups are firstly introduced into the triazine nucleus, and then the blocking group is introduced into the nucleus. This is effected by reacting cyanuric acid chloride with a suitable amino acid, or e.g. with a suitable amino acid ester, at a temperature of 30 to 600 C, preferably at 40 to 600 C. The product from the first reaction is then reacted with the amino compound containing the desired blocking groups. This reaction is performed at reflux temperature, in the presence of a base, in an aqueous medium. In the above reactions in which a base is necessary, bases such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate are advantageously used.
It is often expedient to produce the amino acid salt, which can be used in the
manner described above, in situ by means of basic hydrolysis of the corresponding
lactam, for example of -caprolactam.
Although the triazine-amino acid derivatives can be produced either in water
or in organic solvents, the aqueous medium is preferred. Since the salts of the
triazine-amino acids are soluble in water, the course of the reaction can be followed by observing the disappearance of the insoluble cyanuric acid chloride, or of the dichlorotriazine compound which is amino-substituted, which are used as starting materials, from the aqueous solution. The separation and purification stage is likewise more successful because the insoluble unreacted triazine compound used as starting material can be filtered off from the solution after completion of the reaction. A product precipitates on acidification of the filtered solution. The unreacted amino acids and salts, which have been formed furing the reaction, remain in the aqueous phase.
In the production of the triazine-amino esters, organic solvents are preferred as the reaction medium. Organic solvents suitable for this purpose include ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, or aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as heptane, methylcyclohexane, benzene or toluene:
It is also to be mentioned that obviously there is also the possibility for the production of the dicarboxylic acid derivatives by starting with the dicarboxylic acids, or for the production of the dicarboxylic acids by, e.g., hydrolysing the dicarboxylic acid esters according to the invention.
The dicarboxylic acids, or the acid derivatives thereof, according to the invention are in general colourless to yellowish, crystalline compounds which are readily soluble in many organic solvents. They have surprisingly high thermal stability, i.e. in comparison with that of the corresponding non-halogenated dicarboxylic acids, their stability is reduced to only a slight or negligible degree.
The dicarboxylic acids of the formula I and the acids derivatives thereof according to the invention are therefore excellently suitable as flameproofing agents for thermoplastic polymers since no decomposition has to be feared on incorporation of the agents by customary methods. In general, amounts of 0.1 to 15, preferably I to 10, per cent by weight, relative to the total mixture, are incorporated.
The present invention therefore relates also to noninflammable thermoplastic moulding compounds containing a thermoplastic polymer and a dicarboxylic acid of the formula I or an acid derivative thereof.
Examples of suitable thermoplastic polymers are the following thermoplasts.
1. Polymers which are derived from hydrocarbons with single or double unsaturation, such as polyolefines, for example polyethylene which can optionally be crosslink-ed, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polymethylbutene- 1, polymethylpentene-l, polybutene-l, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polystyrene, polyisobutylene, copolymers of the monomers on which the homopolymers mentioned are based, such as ethylene-propylene copolymers propyleneisobutylene copolymers, styrene-butadiene copolymers, and also terpolymers of ethylene and propylene with diene, such as hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene or ethylidenenorbornenes; mixtures of the abovementioned homopolymers, such as mixtures of polypropylene and polyethylene, polypropylene and polybutene-l, or polypropylene and polyisobutylene.
2. Polyamides and copolyamides which are derived from diamines and dicarboxylic acids and/or from aminocarboxylic acids or the corresponding lactams, such as polyamide 6, polyamide 6/6, polyamide 6/10, polyamide 11 and polyamide 12.
3. Polyesters which are derived from dicarboxylic acids and dialcohols and/or from hydroxycarboxylic acids or from the corresponding lactones, such as polyethylene terephthalate poly- 1 ,4-dimethylol-cyclohexane terephthalate, polypivalolactone and poly-1,4-butylene terephthalate.
4. Polyacrylonitrile and also copolymers thereof with other vinyl compounds, such as acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, acrylonitrile/styrene and acrylonitrile/styrene/acrylic ester copolymers.
5. Polyurethanes and polyureas.
6. Polyacetals, such as polyoxymethylene and polyoxyethylene, and also those polyoxymethylenes containing ethylene oxide as the comonomer.
Beforehand, afterwards or together with the dicarboxylic acids of the formula
I used according to-the invention, there can be added to the plastics the customary additives used for processing and for improving the properties of these polymers, for example plasticisers, thermostabilisers, antioxidants, dyes, fillers, especially reinforcing fillers such as sized glass fibres, lubricants, light stabilisers and flameproofing agents.
Incorporation of the dicarboxylic acids to be used according to the invention can be effected after polymerisation, for example by mixing the substances, and optionally further additives, into the melt by methods customary in the art, before or during shaping. The dicarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof can also be incorporated in the form of a master batch, which contains these compounds for example at a concentration of 2.5 to 25 / by weight, into the thermoplastic polymers.
A further field of application of the dicarboxylic acids of the formula I and derivatives thereof is their application as biocidal active substances.
The dicarboxylic acids according to the invention and some of the derivatives thereof are excellently suitable as internal flameproofing agents for polyesters and polyamides; for this application the dicarboxylic acids of the formula 1, or the polyester-forming or polyamide-forming derivatives thereof, are incorporated into the polymer chains of the polyesters or polyamides during manufacture of these polyesters or polyamides. The dicarboxylic acids of the formula I and the derivatives thereof have such a surprisingly high thermal stability that they undergo virtually no decomposition under the conditions of manufacture, and the resulting polymers are so stable under heat that they can be processed by the usual methods into moulded articles of all kinds.
The present invention therefore relates also to halogen-containing thermoplastic polyesters and polyamides of which the dicarboxylic acid proportion (exact proportion of the dicarboxylic radicals) consists partially or completely of dicarboxylic acids of the formula I.
The polyesters and polyamides can be formed from aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and/or aromatic dicarboxylic acids, hydroxy- or aminocarboxylic acids and diols or diamines, with the respective composition being governed by considerations with regard to economy and to application techniques.
The aliphatic dicarboxylic acids can contain 2 to 40, preferably 2-36, particularly 6-36 C atoms; the cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids 6 to 10 C atoms: the aromatic dicarboxylic acids 8 to 14 C atoms; the aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acids 2 to 12 C atoms; and the aromatic, such as cycloaliphatic, hydroxycarboxylic acids 7 to 14 C atoms.
The aliphatic diols can contain 2 to 12 C atoms, particularly 2--6 C atoms, the cycloaliphatic diols 5 to 8 C atoms and the aromatic diols 6 to 16 C atoms. Diols designated as aromatic diols are those in which two hydroxyl groups are bonded to hydrocarbon radicals of aromatic character.

Further suitable dicarboxylic acids are those containing -CO-NH- groups; they are described in the German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,414,349. Also suitable are dicarboxylic acids containing N-heterocyclic rings, e.g. those which are derived from carboxyl-alkylated, carboxyl-phenylated or carboxyl-benzylated monoaminos-triazinedicarboxylic acids (see German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 2,121,184 and 2,533,675), mono- or methylenebishydantoins, optionally halogenated benz imidazolones, or parabanic acid. The carboxyalkyl group in these cases can contain 3 to 20 C atoms.

wherein R7, R8 and R9 independently of one another represent alkyl having 1 to 4 C atoms, or together they represent tetra- or pentamethylene, and the R'Os independently of one another represent a hydrogen, chlorine or bromine atom.
These diols are known and are described, e.g., in the German

Suitable aromatic diols are mononuclear diphenols, and particularly binuclear diphenols which carry on each aromatic nucleus a hydroxyl group. By aromatic are meant hydrocarbonaromatic radicals, such as phenylene or naphthylene. In addition t6 for example hydroquinone, there are also to be mentioned in particular the bisphenols which can be represented by the following formula
The hydroxyl groups can be in the m-positon, particularly however in the pposition. In this formula, R' and R" can each represent alkyl having 1 to 6 C atoms, halogen such as chlorine or bromine, and especially a hydrogen atom.

Suitable hydroxycarboxylic acids or lactones are, e.g., caprolactone, pivalolactone, 4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid or 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.
The content of dicarboxylic acids of the formula I in polyesters according to the invention is in general 0.5-50 mol %, relative to the polyester. If the range of properties of the polyester is to be determined by the dicarboxylic acid of the formula I, this will be predominantly present in the polyester, e.g. to the extent of 30-50 mol %, preferably 40-50 mol %. If a noninflammable finish is to be imparted to known polyesters, a content of 1--15 mol %, preferably 2-8 mol ",,, is in general sufficent. A preferred subgroup of these polyesters is that comprising those having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 1000C. A further subgroup is formed by those polyesters having a content of 0.5 to 8 mol q;,, preferably 1 to 5 mol %, of dicarboxylic acids of the formula I, at least 30 mol ,', of terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid and, as diols, linear alkylenediols having 2 to 4 C atoms, I-cyclohexanediol or 1,4-dihydroxymethylcyclohexane. These polyesters are particularly suitable for producing fibres.
The polyamides according to the invention are preferably formed from terephthalic acid; aliphatic dicarboxylic acids preferably having 6-12 C atoms: and either alkylenediamines having 2 to 12 C atoms, particularly 6 to 12 C atoms, and optionally aminocarboxylic acids preferably having 6 to 12 C atoms, or these aminocarboxylic acids alone.
The relative minimum viscosity of the polyesters is 1.3, but preferably the relative viscosity is 1.3 to 4.0, especially 1.3 to 3.0.
The polyesters and polyamides according to the invention are obtained by known processes wherein partially or completely a dicarboxylic acid of the formula
I or polyester-forming or polyamide-forming derivatives thereof, as the dicarboxylic acid constituent, is concomitantly incorporated by condensation, and polycondensed to the desired viscosity. The process is in general performed at a temperature of 50 to 3200C under normal pressure, or in vacuo and/or in a stream of inert g temperatures below the melting point of the granulate being applied. Higher viscosities can be obtained in this manner.
During processing of the polyester or polyamide melt, or even before the polycondensation reaction, there can be added to the reaction mixture inert additives of all kinds, for example fillers or reinforcing fillers, such as talcum, kaolin, metal powders, wollastonite, glass balls and particularly glass fibres, inorganic or organic pigments, optical brighteners, delustering agents, internal lubricants, agents promoting crystallisation, and further flameproofing agents, e.g.
synergistically acting compounds, such as antimony trioxide. If the polycondensation reaction is performed discontinuously, the inert additives can be added during the final condensation stages, e.g. during solid-phase condensation or at the end of the melt condensation stage.
The polyesters and polyamides according to the invention can be partial) crystalline or amorphous, depending on which diols or diamines and which dicarboxylic acids are used as starting components, and in which quantity ratios these are employed. They are colourless to yellow in shade, and constitute thermoplastic, difficultly combustible materials (engineering plastics) from which can be produced by the customary moulding processes, such as casting, injection moulding and extruding, moulded articles having valuable properties. Examples of such moulded articles are technical apparatus parts, apparatus housings, domestic equipment, sports equipment, electric insulation, automobile components, switch gear, sheets, films, and semi-products which can be shaped by machining. Also possible is the application for coating articles by known powder-coating processes or from solutions, and also the application for the production of fibres. A particular field of application is that for shaped articles for the electrical industry, since the polyesters have surprisingly good electrical properties.
The flameproofed polyesters and polyamides according to the invention can be easily produced since the dicarboxylic acids of the formula I and the polymerforming derivatives react well. The internal flameproofing effect can be so controlled that it is reproducible. The polyesters are surprisingly only slightly discoloured, even after processing into shaped articles, a factor which can be attributed essentially to the surprisingly high thermal stability of the polyesters. The mechanical properties too are excellent.
The polyesters produced according to the following Examples are more precisely characterised by the following characteristic values. The polyesters are characterised by those morphological changes which are measured by means of differential thermoanalysis on a specimen tempered for 3 minutes at 300C above the melting point or softening point and then rapidly quenched. The quenched specimen is heated at a heating rate of 16"C/minute by means of the differential scanning calorimeter "DSC-IB", Perkin-Elmer. The thermogram of the specimen shows the glass transition temperature (Tg) [also called second order transition temperature], the crystallisation temperature (Tc), the crystallite melt temperature (Tm) and the decomposition temperature (Td).
The point of inflection where there occurs a sudden increase in the specific heat in the thermogram is given as the glass transition temperature; the tip of the exothermal peak as the crystallisation temperature; the tip of the endothermic peak as the melting temperature; and the point at which the sudden exo- and endothermic fluctuations of the specific heat commence is given as the decomposition temperature (Td). The relative viscosity of the polycondensates of the Examples is determined on solutions of 1 g of polyester in 100 ml of a mixture consisting of equal parts of phenol and symmetrical tetrachloroethane, at 30"C.
The softening temperature (T9) is determined on a hot-stage microscope according to Kofler with a heating-up rate of 150C/minute, by which system a cross is formed from 2 filaments, and the softening temperature is defined as being that temperature at which the sharp angles of the cross disappear.
The following Examples serve to further illustrate the invention.
