Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to examples.
As shown in figure 1, the catalyst of the invention is an ionic liquid catalytic system which is formed by reacting and dehydrating a biimidazole containing two imidazole rings with an alkali metal compound, providing metal cations by the alkali metal compound and using the biimidazole as an anion. The ionic liquid catalyst is designed and catalyzed by using the Biimidazole, the Biimidazole (2,2' -Biimidazole) contains an imidazole similar structure and is a white granular crystal at normal temperature, and an unshared electron pair of a nitrogen atom at the 1-position in an imidazole ring participates in cyclic conjugation, so that hydrogen on the nitrogen atom is easy to leave in a hydrogen ion form, and the ionic liquid catalyst has specific proton accepting and donating properties. In this reaction, the free imidazole ring was negative, and the metals lithium, sodium, and potassium were positive.
The catalyst of the invention has the following structure:
M=Li、Na、K。
the catalyst is stable in property, easy to store, green and pollution-free based on ionic liquid, and the biimidazole anion has higher selectivity for ester exchange reaction, can generate synergistic effect with metal cations, enhances catalytic activity and improves reaction conversion rate. The invention utilizes an infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), a thermal weight loss analyzer (TG) and the like to represent the structure and the thermal stability of the catalyst, DPC and BPA are used as raw materials, and the prepared metal imidazole basic ionic liquid is used as the catalyst to investigate the catalytic performance of the catalyst.
Example 1:
adding 0.1mol of biimidazole and 0.2mol of lithium hydroxide into a three-neck flask, then adding 50mL of DMMF serving as a solvent, carrying out condensation reflux magnetic stirring reaction for 16h under the protection of nitrogen at 100 ℃, removing the solvent by vacuum rotary evaporation at 120 ℃ of a liquid product after the reaction is finished, then adding 60mL of distilled water for washing and filtering, and carrying out vacuum drying at 120 ℃ for 24h to obtain a final product, namely yellow solid biimidazole lithium. The infrared spectrum analysis is shown in FIG. 4, and the thermogravimetric analysis is shown in FIG. 5.
The curve A3 corresponding to the biimidazole lithium in FIG. 4 has a characteristic peak of N-H bond of 2600cm-1To 2800cm-1In the range A3 is 2780cm in comparison to biimidazole A1-1The peak pattern becomes small because the N — H bond energy decreases after the biimidazole is linked to lithium metal. Wave number of 1500cm-1Near the imidazole ring, the C-N characteristic peak is 1600cm-1The peak is a characteristic peak of C ═ C double bond, and the bending vibration peak of the imidazole ring is 750cm-1From this, it was found that the sample was lithium biimidazole as a target product.
The T2 curve corresponding to the biimidazole lithium in FIG. 5 rapidly decreases at about 100 ℃ due to water loss, while the temperature of the sample actually starting thermal decomposition is 290 ℃, and the catalytic temperature of the sample reaches up to 260 ℃, so that the thermal stability of the catalyst meets the requirement of catalytic reaction. When the temperature reaches 500 ℃, the thermal decomposition is basically finished, and the corresponding residual quantity is more than 20%. Therefore, the thermal stability of the biimidazole lithium meets the temperature requirement of catalytic reaction, and thermal decomposition does not occur in the catalytic process.
Example 2:
adding 0.1mol of biimidazole and 0.2mol of sodium hydroxide into a three-neck flask, then adding 50mL of DMMF serving as a solvent, carrying out condensation reflux magnetic stirring reaction for 24 hours at the temperature of 110 ℃ under the protection of nitrogen, removing the solvent by vacuum rotary evaporation at the temperature of 120 ℃ of a liquid product after the reaction is finished, then adding 60mL of distilled water for washing and filtering, and carrying out vacuum drying at the temperature of 120 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain a final product, namely light yellow solid biimidazole sodium. The infrared spectrum analysis is shown in FIG. 4, and the thermogravimetric analysis is shown in FIG. 5.
In FIG. 4, the curve A2 for bisimidazole sodium corresponds to A2 at 2750cm in comparison with bisimidazole A1-1The peak shape becomes smaller, also because the N-H bond energy is reduced after the biimidazole is connected with the metallic sodium. Other analyses are as above, and figure 4 illustrates the sample, sodium biimidazole, as the desired product.
The T3 curve corresponding to the bisimidazole sodium in FIG. 5 is caused by water loss within 100 ℃, the temperature of the sample actually starting thermal decomposition is 290 ℃, and the catalytic temperature of the sample reaches 260 ℃ at most, so that the thermal stability of the catalyst bisimidazole sodium meets the requirement of catalytic reaction.
Example 3:
adding 0.1mol of biimidazole and 0.2mol of potassium hydroxide into a three-neck flask, then adding 50mL of DMMF serving as a solvent, carrying out condensation reflux magnetic stirring reaction for 22 hours at 120 ℃ under the protection of nitrogen, removing the solvent by vacuum rotary evaporation at 120 ℃ of a liquid product after the reaction is finished, then adding 60mL of distilled water for washing and filtering, and carrying out vacuum drying at 120 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain a final product, namely yellow solid biimidazole potassium. The infrared spectrum analysis is shown in FIG. 4, and the thermogravimetric analysis is shown in FIG. 5.
Curve A4 for potassium bisimidazole in FIG. 4, A4 at 2700cm, in comparison with bisimidazole A1-1The peak shape becomes smaller, also because the N-H bond energy is reduced after the biimidazole is connected with the metal potassium. Other analyses are as above, and figure 4 illustrates the sample potassium biimidazole as the target product.
The T4 curve corresponding to the potassium biimidazole in FIG. 5 is due to the fact that the temperature of the sample actually starts to be thermally decomposed is 285 ℃, and the catalytic temperature of the sample reaches 260 ℃ at most, so that the thermal stability of the catalyst potassium biimidazole meets the requirement of catalytic reaction.

Example 6
The procedure for the lithium bisimidazole catalyzed synthesis of polycarbonate was the same as in example 1, with the molar ratio of bisimidazole to lithium hydroxide being changed to 1: 3, the experimental results are shown in table 2.
A specific implementation method of a reaction for synthesizing Polycarbonate (PC) by catalyzing diphenyl carbonate (DPC) and bisphenol A (BPA) with a metal biimidazole saline-alkali ionic liquid catalyst is as follows:
weighing 1-1.2: pouring the DPC and the BPA of 1 into a three-neck flask, introducing nitrogen to detect the tightness, blowing and exhausting air in the flask, starting mechanical stirring, opening a heating sleeve, setting the heating temperature to be 150 ℃ until the materials are completely melted, adding a catalyst after the temperature of the kettle liquid reaches 140 ℃, wherein the using amount of the catalyst is 0.25 percent of the mass of the reaction product, closing the nitrogen after detecting the good tightness again, opening a vacuum pump, vacuumizing to 15-5KPa, continuously heating to the temperature of 150 and 180 ℃ for carrying out the first-step ester exchange reaction, gradually heating to 220 ℃ after continuously reacting for 30-60min, and collecting the phenol generated in the process through a condensing device. After the gas phase temperature decreased to 50 ℃ and became stable, the second polycondensation was started. Gradually raising the temperature to 220-280 ℃ at the speed of 5 ℃ per minute, adjusting the pressure to 10-1KPa, continuously reacting for 20-60min under the condition, stopping the reaction, and casting the corresponding mould to prepare the corresponding PC sample strip or sample, wherein the reaction device is shown as the figure 2.
After the distillate is detected by a gas chromatograph, the percentage content of each component in the product is determined by an area normalization method, the conversion rate, the selectivity and the yield of reactants and target products are calculated, the products are measured by an Ubbelohde viscometer, and the viscosity-average molecular weight is estimated by a one-point method so as to measure and evaluate the catalytic performance.
The catalysts prepared in examples 1-3 and conventional catalysts sodium hydroxide, heterocyclic nitrogen-containing catalyst (pyridine), quaternary ammonium salt (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) and quaternary phosphonium salt (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) were used to catalyze the synthesis of Polycarbonate (PC) from diphenyl carbonate (DPC) and bisphenol a (bpa), respectively. The results of the catalytic evaluation are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 comparison of catalytic performance of examples 1-3 with conventional catalysts
As can be seen from the data in table 1, the catalytic effect of the present invention is significant, and the reaction conversion rate and the product selectivity are both greatly improved compared with the conventional catalyst, wherein the best catalytic effect is the biimidazole lithium of example 1, the conversion rate is as high as 97.31%, and the selectivity is as high as 95.47%. In addition, the molecular weight distribution of the synthesized PC product is narrow, and the molecular weight can be controlled. The notch impact strength test shows that the notch impact strength of the PC synthesized by the invention is higher than that of the traditional catalyst, which shows that the invention not only has good catalytic action, but also has certain plasticizing and toughening action.

As can be seen from Table 2, the reactivity gradually increased with the increasing amount of the lithium-containing compound, and the conversion rate and the notched impact strength reached the maximum values when the molar ratio of biimidazole to lithium hydroxide was 1:2 (example 1).
Compared with the traditional alkaline catalyst, the method has the advantages of mild and easily-controlled reaction process and further improved reaction conversion rate and selectivity. The catalyst not only plays a role in catalysis in the catalysis process, but also has certain plasticizing and toughening effects in the process of synthesizing PC, and the synthesized PC has good impact resistance and perfect comprehensive performance.
