【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、光学活性な有機金属錯体を用いたポリオレフィンの製造法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年の製品開発の高度な精密化に伴い、生理活性な医薬、農薬あるいは石油化学製品等を高い(光学)純度で製造することは、極めて重要な技術となっている。それら生理活性な(光学活性な)製品を製造する際に、触媒として光学的に純粋な有機金属化合物を触媒として用いることにより、不斉誘導を行う(製造物の中間体等の構造中に不斉部位を新しく形成させ、光学活性な物質のみを得る)工程の革新的な短縮化をもたらし、結果として製品をより安価に供給することが可能になる。
【0003】
これまで光学的に純粋なポリオレフィンを得る手段としては、もっぱらラセミ体の有機金属化合物をキネティック分割する手法(kinetic reso−lution : Journal of Organometallic
Chemistry,232巻,233−247ページ(1982年)参照)により、光学分割された有機金属錯体を触媒として用いてオレフィンを重合させ、光学活性なポリオレフィンを得ていた。しかし、従来法では、触媒であるラセミ有機金属錯体の分離生成作業に多くの工程を必要とし、必ずしも光学純度の高い有機金属錯体が得られるわけではなく、それらの錯体を用いて光学的に純度の高いポリオレフィンを得ることは困難とされてきた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a polyolefin using an optically active organometallic complex.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With the recent high precision of product development, it has become an extremely important technology to produce physiologically active pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals or petrochemical products with high (optical) purity. When producing these physiologically active (optically active) products, an optically pure organometallic compound is used as a catalyst to carry out asymmetric induction (in the structure of intermediates of the product, etc.). This leads to an innovative shortening of the process (to form a new site and obtain only an optically active substance), and as a result, the product can be supplied at a lower cost.
[0003]
Until now, as a means of obtaining optically pure polyolefin, a method of kinetic resolution of a racemic organometallic compound (Kinetic resolution: Journal of Organometallic)
Chemistry, Vol.232, pp.233-247 (1982)), an optically active polyolefin was obtained by polymerizing an olefin using an optically resolved organometallic complex as a catalyst. However, in the conventional method, many steps are required for the separation and production of the racemic organometallic complex that is a catalyst, and an organometallic complex with high optical purity is not necessarily obtained. It has been difficult to obtain a high polyolefin.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present inventors have already established an optical resolution method capable of performing optical resolution of a racemic organometallic complex using the above-described conventional kinetic resolution method more simply and with high purity (Chem). Lett., Page 365 (1996)), and further extensive studies have led to extremely simple production of polyolefins with high optical purity.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to an optically pure organometallic complex (1) obtained by optical resolution using a chiral stationary phase obtained by supporting an optically active substance on a carrier.

[Chemical 7]
[0019]
In producing an optically active polyolefin using the method of the present invention, there are no particular restrictions on the polymerization conditions such as polymerization temperature, polymerization time, polymerization pressure, monomer concentration, etc., but the polymerization temperature is -100 to 300 ° C., and the polymerization time is The polymerization pressure is preferably in the range of normal pressure to 3000 kg / cm 2 G for 10 seconds to 20 hours. It is also possible to adjust the molecular weight using hydrogen during polymerization. Polymerization can be carried out by any of batch, semi-continuous and continuous methods, and can be carried out in two or more stages by changing the polymerization conditions. Further, the optically active polyolefin obtained after completion of the polymerization can be obtained by separating and recovering from the polymerization solvent by a conventionally known method and drying it.
[0020]
Moreover, when using a solvent at the time of superposition | polymerization, any organic solvent generally used may be used, and specific examples include benzene, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane, heptane and the like.

After stirring for 5 minutes, a toluene solution of 9-allylxanthene (1.47M, 2.4 ml) was added to initiate polymerization. After stirring at 30 ° C. for 40 hours, the reaction vessel was cooled to −78 ° C., and a small amount of methanol was added to stop the polymerization. The polymerization mixture was precipitated in a large amount of methanol / 1N hydrochloric acid (6: 1, 100 ml), and the insoluble part was recovered by centrifugation. Furthermore, the obtained insoluble part was washed with methanol / 1N hydrochloric acid and methanol, and vacuum-dried (50 ° C., 3 hours) to obtain optically active poly (9-allylxanthene) (154 mg, 20%). . The specific rotation of the obtained polymer was [α] 25 435 = −14 degrees (concentration = 0.5, CHCl 3 ). Moreover, GPC analysis (column: TSKG4000H8 + Shodex802.5, solvent: CHCl 3, polystyrene), the weight average molecular weight (M w) 930, a molecular weight distribution (M w / M n) was 1.22.
