This invention relates to the compositions and processes for preparing thermoset and thermoplastic polyimides derived from novel asymmetrical dianhydrides: specifically 2,3,3′,4′ benzophenone dianhydride (a-BTDA), and 3,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (a-6FDA). The a-BTDA anhydride is prepared by Suzuki coupling with catalysts from a mixed anhydride of 3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid or 2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid with 2,3-dimethylphenylboronic acid or 3,4-dimethylphenylboronic acid respectively, to form 2,3,3′,4′-tetramethylbenzophenone which is oxidized to form 2,3,3′,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid followed by cyclodehydration to obtain a-BTDA. The a-6FDA is prepared by nucleophilic triflouoromethylation of 2,3,3′,4′-tetramethylbenzophenone with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane to form 3,4′-(trifluoromethylmethanol)-bis(o-xylene) which is converted to 3,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene-bis(o-xylene). The 3,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)-bis(o-xylene) is oxidized to the corresponding tetraacid followed by cyclodehydration to yield a-6FDA.
本发明涉及由新型非对称二酐衍生的热固性和热塑性聚酰亚胺的组成和制备方法,具体来说是2,3,3′,4′-苯并酮二酐(a-BTDA)和3,4′-(六氟异丙基亚甲基)二苯酐(a-6FDA)。a-BTDA二酐通过使用催化剂从3,4-二甲基苯甲酸或2,3-二甲基苯甲酸与2,3-二甲基苯基硼酸或3,4-二甲基苯基硼酸的混合酸酐进行铃木偶联反应制备而成,形成2,3,3′,4′-四甲基苯并酮,然后氧化形成2,3,3′,4′-苯并酮四羧酸,最后进行环化脱水反应得到a-BTDA。a-6FDA通过三氟甲基化反应将2,3,3′,4′-四甲基苯并酮与三氟甲基三甲基硅烷进行亲核反应制备而成,形成3,4′-(三氟甲基甲醇)-双邻二甲苯,然后转化为3,4′-(六氟异丙基亚甲基)-双邻二甲苯。3,4′-(六氟异丙基亚甲基)-双邻二甲苯被氧化成相应的四羧酸,随后进行环化脱水反应得到a-6FDA。
