Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure The compounds according to the invention have the formulae Ia or Ib or (Ia) (Ib) in which Y is a divalent organic radical and Z is -NH2, -NH-alkyl having 1-4 C atoms, -OH, -COOH, -COCl, O-CO-CH=CH2, , -COO-CH=CH2 or -O-CH=CH2.
These novel 3- or 4-azidophthalic acid derivatives may be used for the preparation of photo-crosslinkable polymers. Compared to corresponding photosensitive polymers of the prior art, these novel polymers have the advantages that they are even more photosensitive and that they also absorb in the long wavelength UV region (at wavelengths greater than 320 nm).

Description

``"`` - 1~8626 .

The present invention relates to novel 3- or 4-azidophthalic acid derivatives and to processes for their preparation. The 3- and 4-azidophthalic acid deriva-tives according to the invention can be used to produce photocurable polymers.
The literature discloses that polymers having azido side groups can be photo-crosslinked and are suitable for photo-mechanical applications [cf., for example, British Patent Specification 843,541, U.S. Patent Specific-ation 3,002,003, Journal of Appl. Poly. Sci., 7, 273-279 (1963) and Japanese Laid-Open Specification i4/238431.
These prior-art polymers have disadvantages inasmuch as they absorb predominantly in the short wavelength W reg-ion and are therefore unsuitable, or rather unsuitable, for numerous applications, especially in the field of micro-electronics, which demand highly photosensitive sub-stances which absorb in the longer wavelength W region.
It was therefore the object of the invention to provide novel substances which are suitable for the pre-paration of polymers which have increased photosensitivity and absorb in the longer wavelength W region (above 320 nm ) .
The novel 3- and 4-azidophthalic acid derivatives have the formula Ia or Ib .

Phenylene, naphthylene, diphenylene, cyclohexylene or dicyclohexylmethane groups Y, or ~ ~

groups Y, can be substituted, by halogen atoms, such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine, alkyl groups having 1-4 C atoms, especially methyl or ethyl, cycloalkyl groups having 5-7 C atoms, especially cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl, or aralkyl groups having 7 or 8 C atoms, such as benzyl or ~-phenylethyl. The said groups can have several substituents of the type mentioned on each ring, but advantageously are substitued by only one of the said groups per ring, especially by chlorine or bromlne, methyl or ethyl.
Preferably, however, phenylene, naphthylene, cyclo-hexylene, biphenylene, dicyclohexylmethane and ~ X ~ groups Y are unsubstltuted, and advanta-geously X is -O-, -SO2- or -CH2. Cyclohexylene, naphthylene and in particular phenylene groups are particularly preferred.

The literature [Tetrahedron Letters, 12, 1305-1309 (1966)] discloses that 3-nitrophthalic anhydride can be converted to 3-azidophthalic anhydride by means of sodium azide in the presence of an inert organic solvent at a temperature of 110C. However, 4-nitrophthalic an-hydride and 3-chlorophthalic anhydride cannot be converted to the corresponding azide by this method. It is therefore surprising that, according to the invention, both the 3-nitro- and 4-nitro-phthalimides of the formula II, and the corresponding 3- and 4-halogen compounds, can be converted to the corresponding azides and the reaction can furthermore in most cases be carried out at substantially lower temperatures, with good to very good yields. A
prior expensive separation of the starting materials into the 3- and 4-isomers is therefore not necessary in the pro-cess according to the invention.

nary ammonium cation M is, for example, a tetraalkylammon-ium cation or benzyltrialkylammonium cation, with each alkyl moiety having 1-12 and especially 1-4 C atoms, especially the tetramethylammonium cation and the trimethyl benzylammonium cation.
Examples of suitable alkali metal azides and alkaline earth metal azides are lithium, sodium, potass-ium, calcium, magnesium and barium azide. Alkali metal azides, above all sodium azide, are preferred.
The azide is advantageously employed in excess, for ex-ample in a molar excess of about 5-50% and preferably of about 10-30%.
Examples of suitable inert organic solvents are polar solvents, for instance lower aliphatic alcohols,for example those having not more than`6 C atoms,such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanols and pentanols, dibenzyl ethers and dialkyl ethers with each alkyl moi-ety having 1-4 C atoms, such as diethyl ether, di-n-propyl ether and di-isopropyl ether, cyclic ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran and dioxan~ and diethylene glycol dialkyl ethers and triethylene glycol dialkyl ethers with each alkyl moiety having 1-4 C atoms, such as diethylene glycol diethyl ether and di-n-butyl ether, and triethylene glycol dimethyl ether It is advantageous to use aprotic polar solvents, such as aliphatic and aromatic nitriles, such as alkylnitriles having 2-5 C atoms in the alkyl moiety, for example acetonitrile, propionitrile and butyronitrile, or benzonitrile, cyclic amides, such as N-methyl-2-pyrroli-done, N-acetyl-2-pyrrolidone and N-methyl--caprolactam, N,N-dialkylamides of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having 1-3 C atoms in the acid moiety, such as N,N-dimethylform-amide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-diethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylmethoxyacetamide, dialkylsulphoxides, such as dimethylsulphoxide and diethylsulphoxide, hexamethylphos-phoric acid triamide (hexametapol), and tetrahydrothio-phene dioxide (sulpholan). Preferred solvents are .;

, dialkylsulphoxides, especially dimethylsulphoxide.
Compounds of the formula Ia and Ib, in which Z ~
-OCH=CH2, can also be prepared by a modified method which comprises reacting a compound of the formula IV

H2N-Y-Z~ (V) to give a compound of the formula VI

in which formulae Y is as defined under formula Ia or Ib r and Z" is -NH2, -NH-alkyl having 1-4 C atoms,.-OH, -COOH, -O-CO-CH=CH2, -0-CO-C=CH2 or -COO-CH=CH2, thereafter, if appropriate, cyclising the compound of the formula VI and, if desired, converting compounds of the formula Ib, in which Z is -COOH, to the corresponding acid chloride by treatment with a chlorinating agent.
The reaction of the anhydride of the formula IV
with the amine of the formula V is advantageously carried out in an organic medium, at temperatures between about 0C and 120C, depending on the nature of the reactants.
Advantageously, the anhydride of the formula IV is employed in stoichiometric amount, or in slight excess over the amine of the formula V, for example in an excess of up to about 20 mol ~.
Examples of suitable organic solvents are aprotic solvents of the abovementioned type, as well as non-halogenated and halogenated aliphatic or aromatic hydro-carbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, toluene and chlorobenzene, and aliphatic and cycloaliphatic ketones, such as acetone,-methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone.
The cyclisation of the compounds of the formula VI
can be carried out in a manner known per se, by chemical means, i.e. with addition of dehydrating agents known per se. Depending on the nature of the reactants, the re-action conditions and the solvent employed, the cyclisa-tion can, especially at elevated temperatures, also be carried out without adding a dehydrating agent, the water formed advantageously being removed azeotropically.
However, in general the cyclisation is carried out at temperatures between about 40 and 120C, preferably at 70-90C, in the presence of dehydrating agents and in the presence or absence of an aprotic organic solvent.
Suitable dehydrating agents are, in particular, anydrides of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, having 2-5 C atoms, which are unsubstituted or substituted by halogen atoms or alkyl groups, such as acetic anhydride, propionic an-hydride, butyric anhydride, valeric anhydride, trichloro-acetic anhydride and trimethylacetic anhydride. The preferred dehydrating agent is acetic anhydride.
Compounds of the formula Ia or Ib, in which Z is -O-CO-CH=CH2 or -0-CO-C=CH2, can also be obtained by re-: CH3 acting a compound of the formula Ia or Ib, in which Z is -OH, with corresponding unsaturated acids, acid chlorides or esters. Finally, compqunds of the formula Ia or Ib, in which Z is -COOCH=CH2, can also be obtained by re-acting compounds of the formula Ia or Ib, in which Z is -COOH, with corresponding alcohols or esters in the pres-ence of acids or bases.
The starting materials of the formulae II to V are known or can be prepared by methods known per se. Com-pounds of the formula II can, for example, be obtained in ~ ..... , . .. . . . . .. .. .. .. .. . . _ .. , . =, .. . . .. . ....... . .. ... . . .. .

_ g _ a manner known per se, by reacting 3- or 4-nitrophthalic anhydride or the corresponding halogen compounds with amines HN-Y-Z' and then cyclising the resulting amido-carboxylic acids The azidophthalic anhydrides of the formula IV are described in U.S. Patent Specification 3,002,003.
After the reaction has ended, the compounds o~
the formula Ia or Ib can be purified and isolated in the conventional manner, for example by concentrating the re-action solution or suspension in vacuo and washing the reaction product with wa-ter. The compounds of the formula Ia and Ib are in general obtained in the form of crystals.
The compounds of the formula Ib are valuable intermediates for the preparation of photo-crosslinkable polymers. Such polymers can be prepared by methods of synthesis, known per se, for the preparation of macro-molecules having photoactive side groups. In prin-ciple, two methods can be employed;
1. Introduction of the azidophthalimidyl groups into an existing polymer chain containing corresponding functional groups, and
2. Synthesis of a polymer chain from monomers which already contain the photosensitive azidophthalimidyl group, the polymer chain being synthesisable by polymer-isation or polyaddition.
Examples of suitable compounds for process 1) are those of the formula Ib in which Z is -OH, -COOH, -COCl, -NH2 or -NH-alkyl having 1-4 C atoms, such compounds being reacted, for example, with polymers having recurring structural units of the formulae ÇH - CO ~ ~H2 CH2 / \
~H - CO ~ . H - OH, R - C - COO(CH2 ~ CH CH2 or CH2 / \
O(CH2 ~ CH 2 (where R is hydrogen or methyl - : .... - . ~ ~
: ~ . - ~. :. . .......... ..

~8626 and y is 1 or 2).
Suitable compounds for process 2) are, in parti-cular, those of the formula Ib in which Z is -O-COCH=CH2, -O-COC=CH2, -COOCH=CH2 or -OCH=CH2, such-compounds being polymerised, by themselves or together with other ethylen-ically unsaturated monomers, for example vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, alkyl acrylates and alkyl methacrylates, styrene, ethylene, pro-pylene, isoprene, chloroprene, 1,4-butadiene, vinyl ace-tate, vinyl propionate, maleic acid, fumaric acid or maleic anhydride.
The polymers thus obtained, having azidophthalimidyl side groups, can be photo-crosslinked, especially with UV
light, and are suitable for photomechanical applications, for example for the manufacture of printing plates for the offset printing process, for the manufacture of photo-offset lacquers, for unconventional photography, for example for the production of so-called vesicular images, or for colouring polymer images, which after exposure and development are not easily visible, by means of suitable dyes, for example oil-soluble dyes, or, if the polymer con-tains acid groups, for example carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid groups, with cationic dyes, The polymers accord-ing to the invention are used in particular as so-called photo-resists for the manufacture of printed circuits by methods known per se. In these, the side of the con-ductive plate provided with the photosensitive layer is exposed through a negative transparency carrying the con-ductor image and is then developed, after which the unex-posed areas of the layer are removed with developer fluid.
Exposure can be effected by means of sunlight, carbon arcs or xenon lamps, but is advantageously carried out with high pressure mercury lamps.
