Definitions
- aluminoxane compositions which have utility as co-catalyst components, utilizing at least one trialkylaluminum compound as a reagent. It is further well known to synthesize these aluminoxane compositions by reacting the trialkylaluminum reagent(s) with a water source. More recently, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,831 ,109 or in U.S. Patent No. 5,777,143, methods using a compound containing a carbon- oxygen bond, such as carbon dioxide, to form a precursor composition that can be converted to the desired aluminoxane product have been disclosed. These methods can also be combined.
- a precursor formed using a carbon-oxygen bond containing reagent could be partially hydroiyzed, and then finally converted to an aluminoxane composition.
- hydrolysis could be conducted prior to reaction with a carbon-oxygen bond containing reagent.
- aluminoxane compositions which have utility as co-catalyst components, by utilizing at least one trialkylaluminum compound as a reagent which is treated with an organic compound containing a carbon-oxygen double bond, such as carbon dioxide, and water, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,728,855.
- the aluminum in the aluminoxane is substantially derived from the trialkylaluminum compound, which is commonly trimethylaluminum.
- This trialkylaluminum reagent is generally the most expensive component in the reagent system. If all or a portion of the trialkylaluminum compound could be replaced as the source for the aluminum in the final product, the manufacturing process could be made correspondingly less expensive.
- This invention is directed to a less costly aluminoxane manufacturing procedure in which all or a portion of the trialkylaluminum compound is replaced as the source for the aluminum in the final aluminoxane product by a less costly aluminum-containing reagent.
- the present invention is a process for the synthesis of an aluminoxane which comprises conversion of a precursor formed by the combination of at least one trialkylaluminum compound and, as the generally less costly reagent, at least one organoaluminum compound containing a carbon-oxygen bond therein.
- the trialkylaluminum compound may be used as such or after reaction with at least one organic compound containing a carbon-oxygen bond, such as carbon dioxide. Conversion of the precursor to an aluminoxane can comprise exclusively nonhydrolytic processes, hydrolysis with water, or a combination of hydrolysis and nonhydrolytic processes.
- the present invention relies upon the replacement of all or a portion of the trialkylaluminum reagent conventionally used as the aluminum source in synthesis of a cocatalytically active aluminoxane (regardless of process).
- the cocatalytically active aluminoxane may be useful in a number of processes, including but not limited to Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization, metallocene catalyzed olefin polymerization, polymerization using single-site catalysts, or other polymerization processes using molecular catalysts that are activated by aluminoxanes.
- R and R" independently represent a linear or branched 0,-0, 0 alkyl group, preferably a linear C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, most preferably a methyl group and R' represents a linear or branched C,-C 10 alkyl group, preferably a linear or branched C 4 -C 8 alkyl group, more preferably a tertiary C 4 - C 8 alkyl group, most preferably a tert-butyl group):
- reaction can be carried out at room temperature in a suitable hydrocarbon solvent.
- suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and cumene, or linear or branched aliphatic solvents such as butane, pentane, isopentane, hexane, heptane, etc.
- aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and cumene
- linear or branched aliphatic solvents such as butane, pentane, isopentane, hexane, heptane, etc.
- R 2 AI-OR' can also be employed, if desired. For instance:
- R 2 AIOR' preferably Me 2 AIOR' compound, or similar effective compounds
- R 2 AIOR' may be prepared by any number of means known to persons skilled in the art. As a trivial example, it could be formed by reaction of dimethylaiuminum chloride with an alkali metal alkoxide, such as sodium t-butoxide in accordance with the formula:
- the product of the foregoing reaction where part or all of the trialkylaluminum reagent is replaced by an organoaluminum compound containing a carbon-oxygen bond therein can be converted to an aluminoxane product.
- the conversion could be simple hydrolysis as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,728,855, or it could be a nonhydrolytic process as described, for instance, in U.S. Patent No. 5,831 ,109 or in U.S. Patent No. 5,777,143.
- the conversion could also be a combination of the foregoing, such as hydrolysis followed by nonhydrolytic conversion, e.g., thermolysis, to aluminoxane.
- the aluminoxane produced by the process of the present invention has a proton NMR spectrum which is characteristic of conventional aluminoxane as well as the non- hydrolytically treated aluminoxane obtained from the process described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 5,831 ,109 or in U.S. Patent No. 5,777,143.
- the aluminoxane formed by the process of the present invention can be used in the same applications previously taught for conventional aluminoxane compositions.
- Example 1 The present invention is further illustrated by the Examples that follow.
- Example 1 Example 1
- Dimethylaluminum tert-butoxide 8.874 g, 44.4 mmoles of Al
- trimethylaluminum TMAL
- PMAO polymethylaluminoxane
