Patent ID: 8124714

Claim:
A process for the production of an azolide according to the general formula I wherein A is an azole ring connected to the carbonyl group via an N atom, R 4 is H or a linear or branched or cyclic alkyl group with 1 to 24 C-atoms, X is an oligomeric or polymeric radical with the functionality n, wherein n is 1 to about 100000, having a molecular weight of at least 200 and at least 2 repetition units with at least 1 Si-atom per repetition unit, wherein an amino compound according to the general formula (H 2 N—) n X is reacted in a first step with phosgene, optionally together with a trialkylamine, and in a second step with an azole to form an azolide according to formula I, wherein the azolide thermally decomposes at least at one point within a matrix of temperature and pressure defined between about 60° C. to about 180° C. and about 10 −5 mbar to about 200 mbar resulting in predominantly Azole and Silicone-Isocyanate; wherein the azolide comprises one or more of the following silicone structures: a) linear or branched (R 1 2 R 2 SiO 1/2 ) 2 (R 1 R 2 SiO 2/2 ) x where R 1 independently is H, or a linear, branched, cyclic or aromatic saturated or unsaturated facultatively partly or fully fluorinated organic residue with 1 to 30 C-atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; R 2 independently is R 1 but at least one R 2 group up to all R 2 groups is/are R 3 —NH—C(═O)-A; R 3 is a bifunctional organic radical alkylene, arylene or mixed with 1 to 18 carbon atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; A is an azole ring; the linear chain may be branched by up to 5 moieties of the structure R 2 SiO 2/2 and/or SiO 4/2 , x=0 to 100000; b) cyclic (R 1 R 2 SiO 2/2 )m where R 1 independently is H, or a linear, branched, cyclic or aromatic saturated or unsaturated facultatively partly or fully fluorinated organic residue with 1 to 30 C-atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; R 2 independently is R 1 but at least one R 2 group up to all R 2 groups is/are R 3 —NH—C(═P)-A; R 3 is a bifunctional organic radical alkylene, arylene or mixed with 1 to 18 carbon atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; A is an azole ring; M=3 to 1000; c) polycyclic (R 2 SiO 3/2 ) o , or (R 1 2 R 2 SiO 1/2 ) p (SiO 4/2 ) q where R 1 independently is H, or a linear, branched, cyclic or aromatic saturated or unsaturated facultatively partly or fully fluorinated organic residue with 1 to 30 C-atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; R 2 independently is R 1 but at least one R 2 group up to all R 2 groups is/are R 3 —NH—C(═O)-A; R 3 is a bifunctional organic radical alkylene, arylene or mixed with 1 to 18 carbon atoms that may contain 0 to 5 O atoms; A is an azole ring; o is 6 to 100000 p=1 to q and q is 6 to 100000.
