Abstract

Chemical modification of polybutadiene was achieved by orthoalkylation of aromatic ketimine with the vinyl group of polybutadiene using a rhodium(I) catalyst. A high 2-acylphenyl group-impregnation ratio was observed with low vinyl group polybutadiene, likely due to decreased steric congestion between the pendant orthoalkylated groups in the modified polybutadiene.

Key words

C-H activation - homogeneous catalysis - transition metal - polymer - rhodium

1a, 1b and 1c were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. and polymer specifications are as follows: 1a: MW = 3,400, 100% vinyl, M _w/M _n = 1.26; 1b: MW = 1,300, 43% vinyl and 57% internal, M _w/M _n = 1.09; 1c: MW = 1,500, 27% vinyl and 73% internal olefins, M _w/M _n = 1.08.

Typical Procedure for the Catalytic Reaction of 1 and 2 under 3 (Scheme 1, Scheme 2): A screw-capped pressure vial (1 mL) was charged with polybutadiene (1, 0.5 mmol), (PPh₃)₃RhCl (3, 0.025 mmol), ketimine (2, 1.0 mmol) and toluene (150 mg). The solution was stirred in a preheated oil bath (130 °C) for 3 h. After the reaction, the mixture was hydrolyzed using aq. HCl (4 N, 5 mL) and THF (5 mL) for 12 h and the product purified by column chromatography (SiO₂, n-hexane-EtOAc, 8:1). [18]

The degree of orthoalkylation (a) of the vinyl could be calculated by the following equation: incorporation rate a (%) = a/(a + b + c) Ž 100%; a = A/2, b = B/2, c = C-B/2. A is the area of 2.81-2.94 ppm (α-CH₂ to CO); B is the area of 4.9-5.0 ppm (vinylic CH₂); C is the area of 5.3-5.6 ppm (vinylic -CH in the vinyl group and internal -CH=C- isomerized from the vinyl group).

16

In o-acylphenyl-group-incorporated polybutadiene, the integration ratio of methylene hydrogens (ArCH₂CH ₂)-methyl hydrogens of the acetyl group in the ¹H NMR spectra is regarded as 2/3 if these two peaks are not clearly separated. In the case of o-heptanoylphenyl-incorporated polybutadiene, it is presumed that the integration ratio of methylene hydrogens (ArCH₂CH ₂)-α-methylene hydrogens of the heptanoyl group is 2/2 since these two peaks overlap.

17

The amount of orthoalkylation (a) of the vinyl groups could be calculated by the following equation; incorporation rate = a/(a + b + c) Ž 100%; (a is the orthoalkylated vinyl group, b is the unreacted terminal olefin, c is the isomerized from the vinyl group, and d is the unreacted internal olefin). a = A/2, b = B/2, c = C-B/2-D/2, (a + b + c)/d = 43/57; A is the area of 2.81-2.94 ppm (α-CH₂ to CO); B is the area of 4.9-5.0 ppm (vinylic CH₂); C is the area of 5.3-5.6 ppm (internal -CH=CH- and vinylic -CH).
