Hexahydrophthalic anhydride Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) is widely used for electronics applications, e.g. HHPA cured epoxy resins have excellent dielectric properties, high-temperature stability, and high glass transition temperatures. HHPA is used as a curing agent in adhesive coatings and sealant materials, e.g. for the second-generation two-part epoxy adhesive synthesis. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is also used in the manufacture of alkyd and polyester resins, insecticides, and rust preventives.

Chemical Properties

White crystalline powder

Uses

Intermediate for alkyds, plasticizers, insect repellents, and rust inhibitors; hardener in epoxy resins.

Uses

HPPA, in combination with triethaylamine (TEA), can be used as a polymerization initiator in the preparation of polyester based resins. It can also be used as a hardener to cure 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether which can be used as an epoxy based system for electronic devices.

Definition

ChEBI: A cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride that is the cyclic anhydride of hexahydrophthalic acid.

Application

Predominantly cis 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride (HHPA) is a cyclic anhydride that can be used for a variety of applications such as: plasticizer, rust inhibitor, and a curing agent for epoxy based resins.

Hazard

Toxic by inhalation, strong irritant to eyes and skin.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Synthesis

Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is obtained by reacting ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride.Combine ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol, 172 mg) and oxalyl chloride (1.2 mmol, 152 mg, 0.103 ml) in dry toluene (5 mL) and add a drop of freshly distilled DMF. Purge the reaction vessel with argon and heat the reaction under stirring for 3 h. Stop the stirring, decant the toluene solution and filter. Evaporate the volatiles. Transform into crystalline form by trituration with diethyl ether. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) | 3.18 - 3.12 (m, 2H 2CH) 1.96 - 1.83 (m, 4H 2CH2) 1.57 - 1.49 (m, 4H 2CH2). HRMS (ESI), calcd for C8H10NaO3 [M+Na]+ 175.0522, found 175.0527; calcd for C9H14NaO4 [M+CH3 OH+Na]+ 209.0784, found 209.0788.
