Title:
CATALYST COMPOSITION FOR POLYMERIZING PROPYLENE OXIDE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3871447
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject composition capable of producing poly(propylene oxide) whose mol.wt. can be controlled and which has a relatively narrow mol.wt. distribution width and hydroxyl groups at both the molecular ends by mixing a crown ether compound with an alkali metal alkoxide, etc.
SOLUTION: This catalyst composition for polymerizing propylene oxide comprises (A) a crown ether compound, preferably 18-crown 5, benzo 18-crown 6, dibenzo 18-crown 6, etc., (B) an alkali metal alkoxide such as potassium t-butoxide or an alkali metal hydroxide such as potassium hydroxide, and (C) an organic Lewis acid, preferably methyl aluminum 2,6-di-t-butyl-4- methylphenoxide, methyl aluminum 2,2'-methylenebis(5-t-butyl-4- methylphenoxide), etc. The component A is preferably contained in an amount of ≥1 mole per mole of the component B.
