Toxicological data

Diacetone acrylamide is a functional monomer that, via its ketone group, leads to crosslinking reactions , e.g. B. with hydrazines , and u. a. is used in photopolymers . Because of its comparatively positive toxicological profile, diacetone acrylamide is increasingly used as a comonomer and the like instead of the vinyl monomers commonly used up to now, such as styrene , vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl caprolactam or acrylates . a. used for radiation- curing printing inks .

Occurrence and representation

The Ritter reaction of acrylonitrile with acetone produces diacetone acrylamide in yields of up to 70%.

Two-step synthesis of diacetone acrylamide

The sulfonated intermediate product formed in a strongly exothermic reaction is then hydrolyzed exothermically to give DAAM .

The acetone condensation products diacetone alcohol and mesityl oxide are also suitable as starting materials for the production of DAAM.

Synthesis of diacetone acrylamide from diacetone alcohol

The Ritter reaction initially proceeds with the formation of carbocations through the action of strong mineral acids on the diacetone alcohol, which is formed as an intermediate from acetone, whereby a large number of by-products are formed, including tert-butanol , mesityl oxide, diacetone alcohol, mesitylene , phosphoron , isophorone and acrylamide , even with strict temperature control . To optimize the target product yield and selectivity, the partial reactions are separated in time and space, e.g. B. also through the use of microreaction technology . As a result, pure yields of up to 78% can be obtained.

The purity (> 99%) required for high monomer conversions and molar masses in free-radical polymerization can be achieved by gentle short-path distillation and recrystallization.

properties

Diacetone acrylamide is a colorless to light yellow crystalline solid which is obtained by recrystallization , e.g. B. purified from toluene / n-hexane mixture and can be mixed with <100 ppm MEHQ for stabilization . The substance is thermally stable and can be distilled without decomposition under reduced pressure. It polymerizes above its melting point and in solution at room temperature. Diacetone acrylamide is distinguished from other reactive monomers by a weak odor, high hydrophilicity and solubility in many organic solvents, as well as an advantageous toxicological profile.

Applications

As a reactive monomer, diacetone acrylamide forms water-insoluble homopolymers during free-radically initiated polymerisation and water-swellable homopolymers during polymerisation in benzene . With many other monomers, such as B. acrylonitrile, acrylamide or vinyl acetate , copolymers are obtained, which u. a. dissolve in cyclohexanone .

The incorporation of diacetone acrylamide units into the polymer backbone of copolymers gives them hydrophilic properties, such as increased water vapor permeability of polymer films or contact lenses, improved adhesion of adhesives and sealing compounds, higher strength and film-forming tendency in hairsprays, and reinforcement of paper and textile coatings.

The most important applications for diacetone acrylamide as a functional comonomer are in water-based coatings and lacquers, which can be crosslinked at room temperature by reacting with adipic acid dihydrazide,

as well as in photocrosslinkable printing inks and resins.
