This Application claims priority from ProvisionalApplication S/N 60/034,526, filed December 30, 1996. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONa) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to new and novelcompositions of matter classified in the art ofchemistry as oxalic acid peroxide compositions ofStructure A,
   [The definitions of R, R1, R2, R3, Z, and nare given in the SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION]e.g., allyl 3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutyl oxalate, and use of the novel oxalic acid peroxide compositionsof Structure A. The compositions possess inherentapplied use characteristics making them suitable foruse as initiators a) for polymerizing ethylenicallyunsaturated monomers, b) for curing of unsaturatedpolyester resins, c) for curing of elastomers, d) forcrosslinking of polyolefins, e) for modifyingpolyolefins, f) for grafting of vinyl monomers ontopolymer backbones and g) for compatibilizing blends oftwo or more incompatible polymers.
There is a need in the polymer industry forefficient, free-radical crosslinking agents for olefinpolymers which give longer scorch times and yet resultin faster crosslinking rates. Because of its low meltflow high density polyethylene (HDPE) must becompounded with peroxides at temperatures where thescorch time is relatively short. If the scorch timeis too short, premature crosslinking of HDPE occursduring the peroxide compounding step. This is highlyundesirable. In the crosslinking of HDPE the peroxidethat is predominantly used for crosslinking is2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)-3-hexyne (Lupersol130; manufactured by ELF ATOCHEM North America, Inc.).Of all the commercial organic peroxides, Lupersol 130has the highest 10 hour half-life temperature (131°C).The 10 hour half-life temperature of an initiator isdefined as the temperature at which 50% of theinitiator will decompose in 10 hours. Generally, thehigher the 10 hour half-life temperature the longerthe scorch time at a given temperature.
Although Lupersol 130 gives adequate scorch timeswhen compounded into HDPE, polymer producers complainof the noxious decomposition products that Lupersol130 produces during crosslinking of polyethylene. Thenoxious decomposition products are thought to bederived from the carbon-carbon triple bond in Lupersol130 since a similar peroxide that lacks thecarbon-carbon triple bond,2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, does notproduce noxious decomposition products. An efficientpolyethylene crosslinking agent which yieldslengthened scorch times and produces less noxiousdecomposition products is needed by the polyethylenecrosslinking industry.
A novel oxalic acid peroxide composition of theinstant invention, allyl 3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutyloxalate, satisfied most of thesecrosslinking criteria and was found to be a moreeffective HDPE crosslinking agent than was Lupersol130. At 385°F in HDPE, allyl 3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutyloxalate was found to be significantlymore efficient than Lupersol 130 on an equivalentbasis and was found to crosslink HDPE much morerapidly than Lupersol 130. Hence, it was superior toLupersol 130 for crosslinking of HDPE. Because allyl3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutyl oxalate contains nocarbon-carbon triple bond, generation of noxiousdecomposition products during crosslinking ofpolyethylene is unlikely.
In recent years most of the new polymeric materials that have been commercialized are polymericblends and alloys composed of two or more differentpolymers. The reasons for this trend to commercialdevelopment of polymer blends and alloys include theshort time required for development andcommercialization of these materials, the relativelylow cost involved in carrying out the R&D effortneeded to develop these materials compared todevelopment of entirely new polymers from monomers,and the ability to develop polymeric blends and alloysthat are "tailor made" to meet end use propertyspecifications, hence, they are neitherover-engineered nor under-engineered, but just right.
The polymer property improvements achieved byblending include: Better processability Impact strength enhancement Improved flame retardance Improved barrier properties Improved tensile properties Improved adhesion Improved melt flow Enhanced heat distortion temperature (HDT) Enhanced heat resistance Improved stiffness Improved chemical resistance Improved ultraviolet light stability

The major problem encountered in developing newblends and alloys is the inherent incompatibility or immiscibility of almost all mixtures of two or morepolymers. The consequence of incompatibility ofpolymeric blends and alloys is that they are unstableand, with sufficient time and temperature, formseparate phases, thus physical properties of thepolymeric blends and alloys suffer. Generally, resincompounders have found that block and graft copolymershaving polymeric segments that are compatible with theindividual polymer components of blends and alloysenable formation of blends and alloys having enhancedphase stabilities and physical properties.
Low cost blends and alloys are commerciallyproduced from two or more addition polymers such asblends involving low density polyethylene (LDPE),linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high densitypolyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Thecompatibility of these low cost blends can be improvedby crosslinking with peroxides or by use ofcompatibilizing block or graft copolymers as mentionedabove.
An important use of peroxides such as the noveloxalic acid peroxide compositions of Structure A istheir utility in preparing graft copolymers useful forcompatibilizing polymeric blends and alloys. Thenovel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of Structure Aof the instant invention, are effective in thepreparation of graft copolymer compositions. Suchgraft copolymers have utility in compatibilizingpolymer blends and alloys. b) Description of the Prior Art

Temperatures of 0°C to 180°C, preferably 20°C to160°C, more preferably 30°C to 150°C and levels ofnovel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of Structure A(on a pure basis) of 0.002 to 3%, preferably 0.005% to1%, more preferably 0.01% to 0.75% by weight based onmonomer, are normally employed in conventionalpolymerizations and copolymerizations of ethylenicallyunsaturated monomers. The novel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of this invention can be used incombination with other free-radical initiators such asthose disclosed at the bottom of column 4 and the topof column 5 of U.S. Patent 4,525,308. Using theperoxide compositions of this invention in combinationwith these initiators adds flexibility to theprocesses of polymer producers and allows them to"fine tune" their polymerization processes.B. Curing of Unsaturated Polyester Resins
In the curing of unsaturated resin compositionsby heating at suitable curing temperatures in thepresence of free-radical curing agents, the noveloxalic acid peroxide compositions of Structure A ofthis invention exhibit enhanced curing activity in thecurable unsaturated polyester resin compositions.Unsaturated polyester resins that can be cured by thenovel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of thisinvention usually include an unsaturated polyester andone or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
The unsaturated polyesters are, for instance,polyesters as they are obtained by esterifying atleast one ethylenically unsaturated di- orpolycarboxylic acid, anhydride or acid halide, such asmaleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaconic acid, itaconicacid, mesaconic acid, citraconic acid, allylmalonicacid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, and others, withsaturated and unsaturated di- or polyols, such asethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propanediols, 1,2-, 1,3- and1,4-butanediols, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol,2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol,2-buten-1,4-diol, 2-butyn-1,4-diol,2,4,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, glycerol, pentaerythritol,mannitol and others. Mixtures of such di- orpolyacids and/or mixtures of such di- or polyolsmay also be used. The di- or polycarboxylic acids maybe partially replaced by saturated di- orpolycarboxylic acids, such as adipic acid, succinicacid, sebacic acid and other, and/or by aromatic di- orpolycarboxylic acids, such as phthalic acid,trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, isophthalic acidand terephthalic acid. The acids used may besubstituted by groups such as halogen. Examples ofsuch suitable halogenated acids are, for instance,tetrachlorophthalic acid, tetrabromophthalic acid,5,6-dicarboxy-1,2,3,4,7,7-hexachlorobicyclo(2.2.1)-2-hepteneandothers.
The other component of the unsaturated polyesterresin composition, the polymerizable monomer ormonomers, can preferably be ethylenically unsaturatedmonomers, such as styrene, alpha-methylstyrene,p-methylstyrene, chlorostyrenes, bromostyrenes,vinylbenzyl chloride, divinylbenzene, diallyl maleate,dibutyl fumarate, triallyl phosphate, triallylcyanurate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl fumarate, methylacrylate, methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate,n-butyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and others, or mixtures thereof, which are copolymerizable with saidunsaturated polyesters.
A preferred unsaturated polyester resincomposition contains as the unsaturated polyestercomponent the esterification product of1,2-propanediol (a polyol), maleic anhydride (ananhydride of an unsaturated polycarboxylic acid) andphthalic anhydride (an anhydride of an aromaticdicarboxylic acid) as well as the monomer component,styrene.
Other types of unsaturated polyester resincompositions can be cured using the novel oxalic acidperoxide compositions of this invention as curingcatalysts. These resins, called unsaturated vinylester resins, consist of a vinyl ester resin portionand one or more polymerizable monomer components. Thevinyl ester resin component can be made by reacting achloroepoxide, such as epichlorohydrin, withappropriate amounts of a bisphenol such as Bisphenol A[2,2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane], in the presence of abase, such as sodium hydroxide, to yield acondensation product having terminal epoxy groupsderived from the chloroepoxide. Subsequent reactionof the condensation product with polymerizableunsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid andmethacrylic acid, in the presence or absence of acidicor basic catalysts, results in formation of the vinylester resin component. Normally, styrene is added asthe polymerizable monomer component to complete thepreparation of the unsaturated vinyl ester resin composition.
Temperatures of about 20°C to 200°C and levels ofnovel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of Structure Aof about 0.05% to 5% or more, preferably 0.10% to 4%,more preferably 0.25% to 3% by weight of curableunsaturated polyester resin composition are normallyemployed.
The unsaturated polyester resin compositionsdescribed above can be filled with various materials,such as sulfur, glass, carbon and boron fibers, carbonblacks, silicas, metal silicates, clays, metalcarbonates, antioxidants (AO's), heat, ultraviolet(UV) and light stabilizers, sensitizers, dyes,pigments, accelerators, metal oxides, such as zincoxide, blowing agents, nucleating agents and others.C.

Polymer compositions that can be crosslinked bythe novel oxalic acid peroxide compositions of thisinvention include olefin thermoplastics such aschlorinated polyethylene (CPE), low densitypolyethylene (LDPE), linear-low density polyethylene(LLDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Temperatures of about 80°C to 310°C and noveloxalic acid peroxide composition levels of about 0.1%to 10%, preferably 0.5% to 5%, based on weight ofcurable elastomeric resin composition or crosslinkableolefin polymer composition, are normally employed.
The curable elastomeric resin composition orcrosslinkable polymer composition can be optionallyfilled with the materials listed above for use withthe conventional unsaturated polyester resincompositions.D. Modification of Propylene Homo- and Copolymers
In the processes for modifying propylenehomopolymers and propylene copolymers (e.g.,beneficial degradation of polypropylene (PP) byreducing the polymer molecular weight and the polymermolecular weight distribution), the novel oxalic acidperoxide compositions of this invention exhibitpolypropylene modification activity.
Temperatures of about 140°C to 340°C and noveloxalic acid peroxide composition levels of about 0.01%to 1.0% based on weight of modifiable propylenehomopolymers and propylene copolymers are normallyemployed. Optionally, up to 1% by weight of molecularoxygen can be employed as a modification co-catalyst. Novel Oxalic Acid Peroxide Compositions of Structure A -Preparative and Utility Examples

A clear solution resulted at roomtemperature. To this vigorously stirred solution atroom temperature was slowly added a solutionconsisting of 7.0 g (50.2 mmoles) of ethyl oxalylchloride and 10 g of dry ethyl acetate over a periodof 20 minutes. A precipitate immediately formed andthe flask became warm. It was necessary to cool theflask in order to maintain the temperature around roomtemperature. After a total reaction period of 60minutes, the reaction mass was transferred to a separatory funnel, 100 mL of water was added to thereaction mass and shaken. The aqueous phase wasseparated and discarded. The organic phase was washedonce with aqueous 10% HCl solution, twice with waterand once with dilute aqueous NaHCO3 solution.

Gas evolutionoccurred and the organic liquid dissolved in theaqueous phase at room temperature. The pH of thesolution was about 9. The aqueous solution was washedtwice with 30 mL portions of MTBE in order to removeneutral impurities. Then the aqueous solution wasacidified with 20 g (27 mmoles) of aqueous 5% HCl solution and a yellow organic liquid formed. Theresulting mixture was extracted twice with 30 mLportions of MTBE. The MTBE extracts were combined,washed once with 50 mL of water, dried over 5% byweight of anhydrous MgSO4, and, after separation ofthe spent desiccant by filtration, the solvent wasremoved in vacuo leaving 2.2 g (85% of theory,uncorrected) of a clear yellow liquid.

The flask contents were cooled to 10°C.Then 5.7 g (20 mmoles) of 98.1%3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutyl chlorooxalate (I-2)in 10 mL of MTBE was added dropwise over 15 minutes at10-20°C to the stirred solution. After the additionwas completed the reaction mass was stirred for 60minutes at 15-20°C. Then 50 mL of water and 20 mL ofMTBE were added to the stirred reaction mass and themixture was allowed to separate into liquid phases.The aqueous layer was separated and discarded. Theorganic layer was washed twice with 50 g portions ofaqueous 5% hydrochloric acid solution and then with 50mL portions of water until the pH was about 7. Theproduct solution was dried over 5% by weight ofanhydrous MgSO4, and, after separation of the spentdesiccant by filtration, the solvent was removed in vacuoleaving 3.1 g (49% of theory, uncorrected) of aliquid product. An IR spectrum of the product showeda weak-medium pair of bands in the 3400-3500 cm-1region due to the NH group, a strong carbonyl band at1705 cm-1 and weaker carbonyl shoulder bands at about1730 cm-1 and about 1760 cm-1.
Based on the method of preparation and IR datathe product obtained in this reaction was I-8. Example 10. Crosslinking Efficiency of 3-t-Butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylEthylOxalate (I-1) in High DensityPolyethylene (HDPE)
Compound I-1 was evaluated for crosslinkingefficiency in HDPE compared to2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)-3-hexyne (LUPERSOL130, manufactured by ELF ATOCHEM North America, Inc.).I-1 and LUPERSOL 130 were individually blended intosamples of HDPE (USI's LY 66000 HDPE) at 140°C using aBrabender for thorough mixing. The level ofcrosslinking agent employed was 10 meq(milliequivalents of peroxide) per hundred grams ofHDPE resin. This amounted to 2.904 grams of I-1 perhundred grams of HDPE resin and 1.43 grams of LUPERSOL130 per hundred grams of HDPE resin. Disks of thecompounded HDPE resins were pressed out and theseresin disks were used for determining crosslinkingdata using a Monsanto Oscillating Disk Rheometer (ODR)at 196.1°C (385°F), ± 3o arc. The crosslinking dataobtained are summarized in the table below: CROSSLINKING OF HDPE AT 385°F FORMULATION: A B LUPERSOL 130 (10 meq/100 g HDPE) 1.43 - I-1 (10 meq/100 g HDPE) - 2.904 MH (in-lbs) 34.6 40.3 MH-ML (in-lbs) 33.4 38.6 TC90 (mins) 8.4 5.6 TS2 (mins) 1.8 1.4
Based on cure times (TC90) and torque enhancement(MH-ML) the results show that 3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylethyl oxalate (I-1) was a faster and amuch more efficient crosslinking agent for HDPE thanwas LUPERSOL 130, the crosslinking agent currentlyemployed to commercially crosslink HDPE.Consequently, the results showed that I-1 was a verygood crosslinking peroxide candidate for HDPE. Example 11. Crosslinking Efficiency of 3-t-Butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylEthylOxalate (I-1) in Low DensityPolyethylene (LDPE)
Compound I-1 was evaluated for crosslinkingefficiency in LDPE compared to2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane (LUPERSOL 101, manufactured by ELF ATOCHEM North America, Inc.).I-1 and LUPERSOL 101 were individually blended intosamples of LDPE (Union Carbide DYNH-1) at 120°C usinga Brabender for thorough mixing. The level ofcrosslinking agent employed was 10 meq(milliequivalents of peroxide) per hundred grams ofLDPE resin. This amounted to 2.904 grams of I-1 perhundred grams of LDPE resin and 1.45 grams of LUPERSOL101 per hundred grams of LDPE resin. Disks of thecompounded LDPE resins were pressed out and theseresin disks were used for determining crosslinkingdata using a Monsanto Oscillating Disk Rheometer (ODR)at 196.1°C (385°F), ± 3o arc. The crosslinking dataobtained are summarized in the table below: CROSSLINKING OF LDPE AT 385°F FORMULATION: A B LUPERSOL 101 (10 meq/100 g LDPE) 1.45 - I-1 (10 meq/100 g LDPE) - 2.904 MH (in-lbs) 24.0 28.3 MH-ML (in-lbs) 21.5 25.8 TC90 (mins) 8.9 10.4 TS2 (mins) 2.15 2.30
Based on torque enhancement (MH-ML) the resultsshow that I-1 was a much more efficient crosslinkingagent for LDPE than was LUPERSOL 101, a crosslinking agent currently employed to commercially crosslinkLDPE. In addition, use of I-1 as a crosslinking agentfor LDPE advantageously resulted in a longer scorchtime (TS2) than when LUPERSOL 101 was employed.Consequently, the results showed that I-1 was a verygood crosslinking peroxide candidate for LDPE. Example 12. Polypropylene (PP) ModificationEfficiency of 3-t-Butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylEthyl Oxalate (I-1)
Compound I-1 was evaluated for polypropylene (PP)modification efficiency compared that of to2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butyl- peroxy)hexane (LUPERSOL101, manufactured by ELF ATOCHEM North America, Inc.).I-1 and LUPERSOL 101 were separately blended under ablanket of nitrogen gas (to eliminate the effect ofoxygen on modification of PP) into PP (Himont 6501),containing: 0.1% calcium stearate 0.3% dilaury thiodipropionate 0.1% Irganox 1010 (manufactured by Ciba Geigy Corp.) at 180°C using a Brabender plastigraph. Mixing underthe blanket of nitrogen gas was continued for a totalof 10 minutes. In these experiments, the level ofmodifying agent employed was 0.20 meq (milliequivalentof peroxide) per hundred grams of PP resin. Thisamounted to 0.058 grams of I-1 per hundred grams of PPresin and 0.029 grams of LUPERSOL 101 per hundred grams of PP resin. Melt flow index (MFI) is a measureof the amount of degradation (modification ormolecular weight reduction) of PP. The higher the MFIof the modified PP resin under specific conditions,the lower the molecular weight of the PP resin. TheMFI data for the virgin PP resin and the modified PPresins were determined according to ASTM D-1238(230°C, 2.16 kg weight). The MFI data are summarizedbelow: PP Modifying Agent Peroxide Weight, % Peroxide meq per 100 g PP MFI grams/10 mins. None --- --- 5.5 LUPERSOL 101 0.029 0.20 11.5 I-1 0.058 0.20 15.5 The results showed that 3-t-butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylethyl oxalate (I-1) was much moreefficient for modifying PP than was LUPERSOL 101.Lupersol 101 is currently the most widely usedcommercial modifying agent for PP. Consequently, theresults showed that I-1 was a very good modifyingagent for PP.
Example 13. Crosslinking Efficiency of Allyl 3-t-Butylperoxy-1,3-dimethylbutylOxalate(I-4) in High Density Polyethylene(HDPE)
Compound I-4 was evaluated for crosslinkingefficiency in HDPE compared to2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)-3-hexyne(LUPERSOL 130, manufactured by ELF ATOCHEM NorthAmerica, Inc.). I-4 and LUPERSOL 130 wereindividually blended into samples of HDPE (USI LY66000) at 140°C using a Brabender mixer. The level ofcrosslinking agent employed was 10 meq(milliequivalents of peroxide) per hundred grams ofHDPE resin. This amounted to 3.024 grams of I-4 perhundred grams of HDPE resin and 1.432 grams ofLUPERSOL 130 per hundred grams of HDPE resin. Disksof the compounded HDPE resins were pressed out andthese resin disks were used for determiningcrosslinking data using a Monsanto Oscillating DiskRheometer (ODR) at 385°F ± 3o arc. The crosslinkingdata obtained are summarized in the table below: CROSSLINKING OF HDPE AT 385°F FORMULATION: A B LUPERSOL 130 (10 meq/100 g HDPE) 1.432 - I-4 (10 meq/100 g HDPE) - 3.024 MH (in-lbs) 36.8 45.5 MH-ML (in-lbs) 35.3 43.9 TC90 (mins) 9.8 5.5 TS2 (mins) 1.9 1.5
Based on cure times (TC90) and torque enhancement(MH-ML) the results show that I-4 was a faster and amuch more efficient crosslinking agent for HDPE thanwas LUPERSOL 130, the crosslinking agent currentlyemployed to commercially crosslink HDPE.Consequently, the results showed that I-4 was a verygood crosslinking peroxide candidate for HDPE.
