Description

IODINATED ORGANIC SUBSTANCES OF OW MOLECULAR ASS AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THEM
The present invention relates to a process for preparing iodinated organic substances of low molecular mass, iodinated organic substances of low 5 molecular mass, and a process for preparing a polymer involving these iodinated organic substances of low molecular mass.
Patent US-Λ-5 144067 describes a process for the coproduction of an al yl iodide on the one hand, and of a mono-α-iodocarboxylic acid and/or anhydride on the other hand, according to which a mixture of an iodinated 10 compound, for example molecular iodine, a carboxylic anhydride, such as acetic anhydride, and a peroxide, such as hydrogen peroxide, is caused to react at a high temperature.
Patent US-Λ-5 430 208 describes a process for synthesizing 1-chloro-l- iodoethane according to which a hydriodic acid is reacted with vinyl chloride in 15 the presence of an iodine-containing catalyst which is organic (such as 1 ,2- diiodoethane) or inorganic (such as potassium iodide or molecular iodine). Heasley et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1988, pp. 198-201 have synthesized various iodinated organic substances by reacting tert-buryl hypoiodide with various ethylenically unsaturated substances, in the presence of BF3 or under the 20 action of ultraviolet radiation. In particular, they thus synthesized the substance of formula (CH3)3-C-0-CH2-CHΦI, where Φ denotes a phenyl group.
Cambie et al., J. Chem. Soc, Chem. Comm., 1973, vol. 11, pp. 359-360 have also synthesized the substance (CH3)3-C-0-CH2-CHΦI by reacting styrene, molecular iodine and thallium(I) acetate. 25 The processes for synthesizing iodinated organic substances of low molecular mass of the prior art are complicated processes. They additionally require the use of raw materials which are expensive and/or dangerous to handle.
The iodinated organic substances of low molecular mass thus produced are themselves very expensive. 30 It is also known that several iodinated organic substances of low molecular mass can be used as initiators for controlled free-radical polymerization
(polymerizations of the "FTP" type). However, the "best" choice in terms of efficiency of initiation of the polymerization and the properties of the polymers thus produced often depends on the actual nature of the monomers, hence they need to have available a fairly broad range of iodinated organic initiators if it is desired to polymerize monomers of a different chemical nature, all under optimum conditions.
The subject of the present invention is a process of preparation which makes it possible to both have all the advantages of the prior art processes and to avoid all the disadvantages thereof.
To this effect, the invention relates to a process for preparing one or more iodinated organic substances having a molecular mass of less than 2000 (substances (S)) using:
(A) at least one free-radical-generating substance chosen from peroxides, diazo compounds, dialkyldiphenylalkanes, substances derived from tetraphenylethane, boranes and iniferter substances comprising at least one thiuram disulphide group,
(B) at least one organic substance containing at least one ethylenic double bond, capable of adding a free radical to its ethylenic double bond,
(C) molecular iodine, which comprises the steps according to which: (1) at least a fraction of (A), at least a fraction of (B) and at least a fraction of (C) are introduced into a reactor, and then (2) the contents of the reactor are caused to react, while introducing therein the possible remainder of (Λ), the possible remainder of (B) and the possible remainder of (C), until a moment is reached when the content of the reactor is a mixture comprising one or more substances (S) [mixture
( )]. In addition to the substance(s) (S), one or more iodinated organic substances other than the substance(s) (S) may be optionally prepared by the process according to the invention [substances (S')]. The weight of the iodinated organic substance(s) (S') expressed relative to the weight of the substance(s) (S) is preferably less than 1, in a particularly preferred manner less than 0.2 and in a most particularly preferred manner less than 0.05.
The substance(s) (S) have a molecular mass preferably of less than 1000, in a particularly preferred manner of less than 500 and in a most particularly preferred manner of less than 250.

The process of polymerization according to the invention advantageously comprises the steps according to which:
(1 ') at least a fraction of (Λ'), at least a fraction of (B '), at least a fraction of (C) and, where appropriate, at least a fraction of (D') are introduced into a reactor, (2') the contents of the reactor are caused to react, while introducing therein the possible remainder of (A'), the possible remainder of (B'), the possible remainder of (C) and, where appropriate, the possible remainder of (D'), until a moment is reached when the contents of the reactor comprise the polymer.

The process for preparing iodinated organic substances according to the invention has multiple advantages. It is very easy to carry out. It uses raw materials which are inexpensive and not very dangerous to handle. The iodinated organic substances thus produced are themselves inexpensive.
It allows in situ synthesis, in a polymerization reactor, prior to carrying out a controlled free-radical polymerization of the ITP type (without a metal-ligand complex) or ΛTRP type (Atom Transfer Radical Polymerisation, in the presence of metal-ligand complexes), of initiators of the said polymerization. Such initiators can therefore be synthesized without having available appropriate synthesis reactors or storage reservoirs for the raw materials necessary for these syntheses. What is more, these initiators may be custom made, so as to be particularly well suited to the controlled free-radical polymerization in which they will be used. Example 1
1.627 g (1.56xl0"2 moles) of styrene, 0.0292 g (1.15X10" moles) of molecular iodine, 0.0286 g (1.95X10"4" moles) of di-tert-butyl peroxide and 1.684 g of benzene were introduced into a 10 ml Carius tube. Argon was bubbled through so as to remove oxygen therefrom, and then the tube was frozen in liquid nitrogen and sealed under vacuum.
Next, the tube was placed in an oven heated to 120°C, and its contents, initially dark brown in colour, were allowed to react therein until their complete decolorization was obtained, which decolorization occurred 15 hours after the tube was placed in the oven.
At this moment, the tube was removed from the oven and its contents were cooled to room temperature.
The products of the reaction were separated and their chemical nature determined by size exclusion chromatography applied to the crude contents of the reactor.
To this effect, a plant was used composed of a Waters Associates pump equipped with a refractometric detector Shodex PJse-61 and two mixed-C PL-gel 5 μm columns from the company Polymer Laboratories. The plant was standardized by means of a polystyrene standard. Tetrahydrofuran was used as eluent, at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min.
The following results, illustrated by the chromatogram in Figure 1, were obtained: the reaction produced iodionated organic substances having a number- average molecular mass of 299, very close to that of the compound corresponding to the formula (CH3)3C-0(CH2-CHΦ) I; size exclusion chromatography made it possible to separate and identify five (pairs of) iodinated organic substances corresponding to the formula A{CH2-CHΦ-)n-I, where Φ denotes a phenyl group, n is equal to 0 to 4 and A denotes a tert-butoxy (CH3)sC-0- and/or methyl group, the said methyl group being itself reputed to result from the β-cleavage of the tert-butoxy group; the following correspondences were made: the peak 1 (molecular mass in the region of 239) was associated with n=0; the peak 2 (molecular mass in the region of 277) was associated with n=l; the peak 3 (molecular mass in the region of 367) was associated with n=2; the peak 4 (molecular mass in the region of 460) was associated with n=3; the peak 5 (molecular mass in the region of 558) was associated with n=4. Example 2 25 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, 10 g (0.1163 mole) of vinyl acetate, 0.8 g
(0.0031 mole) of molecular iodine and 1.0 g (0.0056 mole) of diethyl peroxydicarbonate were introduced into a 250 ml two-necked round-bottomed flask surmounted by a condenser and immersed in an oil bath. The contents of the round-bottomed flask had a dark colour. The contents of the round-bottomed flask were deaerated by bubbling nitrogen through for 30 min. Next, the contents of the round-bottomed flask were heated to 65°C and they were allowed to react until complete decolorization was obtained, which decolorization was obtained 73 minutes later. The contents of the two-necked round-bottomed flask were rapidly cooled. It contains iodinated organic substances according to the invention. Example 3
