Some of the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention can be made directly by acylating an aryl nucleus, which hereinafter will signify at lease one member of a class of aryl nuclei which can include hydrocarbons as well as heterocyclics, with a silyl acid halide of the formula,
Rb f) X iR X where R, R and c are as defined above, and X is a halogen radical, such as chloro.
Aryl nuclei which can be employed to provide for the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention are for example, benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, diphenylether, furan, thiophene, dixylylsulfone, dibenzofuran, carbazole, dibenzothiophene, etc. Unlike the method shown in our U.S. Pat. No. 3,410,822 assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, which can provide for the production of diearbonyl containing organosilicon materials by deacylating various aryl nuclei, the method of the present invention provides for production of aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials by the monoacylation of the aforementioned aryl nuclei.
Carboxylic acid halides of formula (7), and methods for making them, are shown by Sommer et al, J.A.C.S. 73, 5130, (1951). Included by the carboxylic acid halide of formula (7) are beta-trichlorosilylpropionyl chloride, gamma-methyldichlorosilylbutyryl chloride, gamma-phenylmethylchlorosilylbutyryl chloride, trimethylsilylpropionyl chloride, etc.
Acylation catalysts that can be utilized to effect reaction between the silyl acid halide of formula (7), with the aryl nucleus in accordance with the practice of the invention, include for example, aluminum chloride, boron trichloride, zinc chloride, stannic chloride, polyphosphoric acid, boron trifluoride, etc.
Organosilicon polymers of the present invention having chemically combined siloxy units with aroylorgano radicals attached to silicon, as shown by formula (4), can be made by either hydrolyzing halosilylorganoaryl ketones of the formula,
produced by acylating various aryl nuclei with certain of the silyl acid halides of formula (7), or by cohydrolyzing such halosilylorganoaryl ketones with organohalosilanes of the formula,
)c (4 c) where R, X, b and c are as defined above.
Included by organohalosilanes of formula (9) are for example, methyltrichlorosilane, silicon tetrachloride, methylphenyldibromosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, methylvinyldichlorosilane, rnethylcyanoethyldichlorosilane, etc.
Some of the silylorganoaryl ketones of formula (3) are, for example, trimethylsilylbutyrylthiophene, 1,3- bis-(4-phenoxybenzoylpropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3-bis-(furoylpropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, 2- trimethylsilylpropionylxanthene, furoylpropyldimethylsilanol, p-phenoxybenzoylpropylmethyldimethylsilane, thenoylbutyldimethylchlorosilane, 3- diethoxymethylsilylbutyrylcarbazole. These materials can be used as perfumes, oil bases in cosmetics, etc.
The aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers of the present invention can be fluids, viscous gums, or resinous solids depending upon the functionality of the respective chemically combined units. The polymers can be composed of from two to three thousand chemically combined units, while preferably they are composed of from 5 to 500 chemically combined units. Among the aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers, there are preferred polymers consisting essentially of chemically combined units of formula (6), and copolymers consisting essentially of units of formula (6) and R SiO units. As indicated previously, the aforementioned polymers and copolymers can be silanol chain-stopped, or if desired, chain-stopped with R SiO units.
The aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers of the present invention can be compounded with conventional organopolysiloxane elastomer materials such as silica fillers, for example, fumed silica, etc., heat-age additives, plasticizers, pigments, etc. A proportion of from about 5 to 300 parts of filler which can include reinforcing SiO well as non-reinforcing fillers, such as zinc oxide, diatomaceous earth, can be employed. Cure ofthe aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers can be effected with conventional room temperature vulcanizing curing agents, such as methyltriacetoxysilane, or curing agents such as organosilicates, in combination with a metal soap such as dibutyltindilaurate, zinc octoate, etc., as taught by Berridge U.S. Pat. No. 2,845,541, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. A peroxide curing catalyst also can be employed such as benzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, etc., in instances where a heat-cure is desired, such as where the aforementioned polymers are terminated with R S iQ units and contain chemically combined (C2H )CI-I SiO units. In addition, cure can be effected with the employment of a platinum catalyst as taught for example by Ashby U.S. Pat. No., 3,159,601, Lamoreaux U.S. Pat. No. 3,220,972, both assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, in combination with chemically combined siloxy units having hydrogen attached to silicon and siloxy units having alkenyl radicals attached to silicon which can be chemically combined with units of formula (4).
Some of the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention can be further shown by the formula,
where R, R" and Q are as defined above,fhas a value of from 0 to 2.5, inclusive, g has a value of from 0.001 to 1, inclusive, and the sum of f and g has a value equal to 1 to 3, inclusive.
In the practice of the invention, the aryl nucleus is acylated with a silyl acid halide as shown in formula (7) and the resulting silylorganoaryl ketone is recovered. In instances where there are hydrolyzable radicals attached to silicon, the resulting silylorganoaryl ketone can be hydrolyzed or cohydrolyzed with halosilanes, as shown by formula (9), to produce a variety of organopolysiloxane polymers and copolymers.
In most instances the acylation of the aryl nucleus can be accomplished by standard Friedel-Crafts methods. Experience has shown, however, that a modified Friedel-Crafts procedure is preferably employed when utilizing a silyl acid halide having no more than two carbon atoms between the silicon atoms and the carbonyl group. It has been found that such silyl acid halides, for example, a silyl propionyl halide often decomposes when mixed directly with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst such as an aluminum halide in the absence of the aryl nucleus. Instead of forming a stable complex with the aluminum halide, silyl acid halides having more than two carbon atoms between the silicon atom and the carbonyl group can partially decompose to carbon monoxide and the corresponding halosilanes and olefin, if the complex is formed in the absence of the aryl nucleus previously described. Generally, any standard FriedelcCrafts acylation procedure can be utilized for acylating the aryl nucleus. In instances where a silyl acid halide such as propionyl halide is used, however, it is preferred to add the FriedelCrafts catalyst in small increments to a mixture of the aryl nucleus and the silyl acid halide.
If desired, a suitable solvent can be utilized during the acylation of the aryl nucleus to facilitate the acylation reaction. Suitable organic solvents are any organic solvents that are substantially inert to the reactants or to the conditions of the reaction and which facilitate the acylation of the aryl nucleus. Suitable organic solvents include for example, methylene chloride, nitrobenzene, carbon disulfide, etc. Temperatures at which the acylation of the aryl nucleus can be effected can vary widely. For example, a range of from -50C to 100C has been found operable, while a range of between 0C to 50C is preferred. Any standard Friedel-Crafts catalyst can be utilized to effect the acylation of the aryl nucleus with the silyl acid halide. A preferred Friedel-Crafts catalyst is aluminum chloride. Other Friedel-Crafts catalysts that can be employed however, are, for example, BF lnCl H PO SnCl,,, etc.
The acylation of the aryl nucleus will be completed when no further hydrogen halide, produced during the acylation reaction, is evolved. The acylated aryl nucleus then can be hydrolyzed by standard procedures. An acidified mixture of water and ice can be employed, for example. The crude product can be extracted by use of a suitable organic solvent, and then purifi'ed in accordance with standard procedures such as chromatography, distillation, etc.
Further reaction of the acylated aryl nucleus also can be achieved such as alkylation, sulfonation, andother standard reactions analogous to chemical reactions common to organic aromatic chemistry. In addition, the monovalent functional groups on the silicon atom of the silylorgano radical can also be replaced with other monovalent radicals to provide for additional chemical reactions with the acylated aryl nucleus. For example, a silicon-carbon cleavage reaction can be utilized to form silanol radicals. Silicon halogen bonds can be alkoxylated to form alkoxysilanes, etc.
In order that those skilled in the art will be better able to practice the invention, the following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. All parts are by weight.

Some of the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention can be made directly by acylating an aryl nucleus, which hereinafter will signify at lease one member of a class of aryl nuclei which can include hydrocarbons as well as heterocyclics, with a silyl acid halide of the formula,
Rb f) X iR X where R, R and c are as defined above, and X is a halogen radical, such as chloro.
Aryl nuclei which can be employed to provide for the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention are for example, benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, diphenylether, furan, thiophene, dixylylsulfone, dibenzofuran, carbazole, dibenzothiophene, etc. Unlike the method shown in our U.S. Pat. No. 3,410,822 assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, which can provide for the production of diearbonyl containing organosilicon materials by deacylating various aryl nuclei, the method of the present invention provides for production of aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials by the monoacylation of the aforementioned aryl nuclei.
Carboxylic acid halides of formula (7), and methods for making them, are shown by Sommer et al, J.A.C.S. 73, 5130, (1951). Included by the carboxylic acid halide of formula (7) are beta-trichlorosilylpropionyl chloride, gamma-methyldichlorosilylbutyryl chloride, gamma-phenylmethylchlorosilylbutyryl chloride, trimethylsilylpropionyl chloride, etc.
Acylation catalysts that can be utilized to effect reaction between the silyl acid halide of formula (7), with the aryl nucleus in accordance with the practice of the invention, include for example, aluminum chloride, boron trichloride, zinc chloride, stannic chloride, polyphosphoric acid, boron trifluoride, etc.
Organosilicon polymers of the present invention having chemically combined siloxy units with aroylorgano radicals attached to silicon, as shown by formula (4), can be made by either hydrolyzing halosilylorganoaryl ketones of the formula,
produced by acylating various aryl nuclei with certain of the silyl acid halides of formula (7), or by cohydrolyzing such halosilylorganoaryl ketones with organohalosilanes of the formula,
)c (4 c) where R, X, b and c are as defined above.
Included by organohalosilanes of formula (9) are for example, methyltrichlorosilane, silicon tetrachloride, methylphenyldibromosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, methylvinyldichlorosilane, rnethylcyanoethyldichlorosilane, etc.
Some of the silylorganoaryl ketones of formula (3) are, for example, trimethylsilylbutyrylthiophene, 1,3- bis-(4-phenoxybenzoylpropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3-bis-(furoylpropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, 2- trimethylsilylpropionylxanthene, furoylpropyldimethylsilanol, p-phenoxybenzoylpropylmethyldimethylsilane, thenoylbutyldimethylchlorosilane, 3- diethoxymethylsilylbutyrylcarbazole. These materials can be used as perfumes, oil bases in cosmetics, etc.
The aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers of the present invention can be fluids, viscous gums, or resinous solids depending upon the functionality of the respective chemically combined units. The polymers can be composed of from two to three thousand chemically combined units, while preferably they are composed of from 5 to 500 chemically combined units. Among the aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers, there are preferred polymers consisting essentially of chemically combined units of formula (6), and copolymers consisting essentially of units of formula (6) and R SiO units. As indicated previously, the aforementioned polymers and copolymers can be silanol chain-stopped, or if desired, chain-stopped with R SiO units.
The aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers of the present invention can be compounded with conventional organopolysiloxane elastomer materials such as silica fillers, for example, fumed silica, etc., heat-age additives, plasticizers, pigments, etc. A proportion of from about 5 to 300 parts of filler which can include reinforcing SiO well as non-reinforcing fillers, such as zinc oxide, diatomaceous earth, can be employed. Cure ofthe aryl ketone containing organosilicon polymers can be effected with conventional room temperature vulcanizing curing agents, such as methyltriacetoxysilane, or curing agents such as organosilicates, in combination with a metal soap such as dibutyltindilaurate, zinc octoate, etc., as taught by Berridge U.S. Pat. No. 2,845,541, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. A peroxide curing catalyst also can be employed such as benzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, etc., in instances where a heat-cure is desired, such as where the aforementioned polymers are terminated with R S iQ units and contain chemically combined (C2H )CI-I SiO units. In addition, cure can be effected with the employment of a platinum catalyst as taught for example by Ashby U.S. Pat. No., 3,159,601, Lamoreaux U.S. Pat. No. 3,220,972, both assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, in combination with chemically combined siloxy units having hydrogen attached to silicon and siloxy units having alkenyl radicals attached to silicon which can be chemically combined with units of formula (4).
Some of the aryl ketone containing organosilicon materials of the present invention can be further shown by the formula,
where R, R" and Q are as defined above,fhas a value of from 0 to 2.5, inclusive, g has a value of from 0.001 to 1, inclusive, and the sum of f and g has a value equal to 1 to 3, inclusive.
In the practice of the invention, the aryl nucleus is acylated with a silyl acid halide as shown in formula (7) and the resulting silylorganoaryl ketone is recovered. In instances where there are hydrolyzable radicals attached to silicon, the resulting silylorganoaryl ketone can be hydrolyzed or cohydrolyzed with halosilanes, as shown by formula (9), to produce a variety of organopolysiloxane polymers and copolymers.
In most instances the acylation of the aryl nucleus can be accomplished by standard Friedel-Crafts methods. Experience has shown, however, that a modified Friedel-Crafts procedure is preferably employed when utilizing a silyl acid halide having no more than two carbon atoms between the silicon atoms and the carbonyl group. It has been found that such silyl acid halides, for example, a silyl propionyl halide often decomposes when mixed directly with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst such as an aluminum halide in the absence of the aryl nucleus. Instead of forming a stable complex with the aluminum halide, silyl acid halides having more than two carbon atoms between the silicon atom and the carbonyl group can partially decompose to carbon monoxide and the corresponding halosilanes and olefin, if the complex is formed in the absence of the aryl nucleus previously described. Generally, any standard FriedelcCrafts acylation procedure can be utilized for acylating the aryl nucleus. In instances where a silyl acid halide such as propionyl halide is used, however, it is preferred to add the FriedelCrafts catalyst in small increments to a mixture of the aryl nucleus and the silyl acid halide.
If desired, a suitable solvent can be utilized during the acylation of the aryl nucleus to facilitate the acylation reaction. Suitable organic solvents are any organic solvents that are substantially inert to the reactants or to the conditions of the reaction and which facilitate the acylation of the aryl nucleus. Suitable organic solvents include for example, methylene chloride, nitrobenzene, carbon disulfide, etc. Temperatures at which the acylation of the aryl nucleus can be effected can vary widely. For example, a range of from -50C to 100C has been found operable, while a range of between 0C to 50C is preferred. Any standard Friedel-Crafts catalyst can be utilized to effect the acylation of the aryl nucleus with the silyl acid halide. A preferred Friedel-Crafts catalyst is aluminum chloride. Other Friedel-Crafts catalysts that can be employed however, are, for example, BF lnCl H PO SnCl,,, etc.
The acylation of the aryl nucleus will be completed when no further hydrogen halide, produced during the acylation reaction, is evolved. The acylated aryl nucleus then can be hydrolyzed by standard procedures. An acidified mixture of water and ice can be employed, for example. The crude product can be extracted by use of a suitable organic solvent, and then purifi'ed in accordance with standard procedures such as chromatography, distillation, etc.
Further reaction of the acylated aryl nucleus also can be achieved such as alkylation, sulfonation, andother standard reactions analogous to chemical reactions common to organic aromatic chemistry. In addition, the monovalent functional groups on the silicon atom of the silylorgano radical can also be replaced with other monovalent radicals to provide for additional chemical reactions with the acylated aryl nucleus. For example, a silicon-carbon cleavage reaction can be utilized to form silanol radicals. Silicon halogen bonds can be alkoxylated to form alkoxysilanes, etc.
