Highly reactive polyisobutene production involves polymerization of isobutene with boron trifluoride catalyst, using solid amine-type deactivator which is insoluble in reaction mixture

摘要

The production of polyisobutene by liquid-phase, cationic polymerization of isobutene in the presence of a boron trifluoride catalyst followed by the addition of a solid deactivator at a required point in time uses a deactivator (I) containing boron trifluoride-binding prim., sec., tert. and/or quat. nitrogen atoms, which is insoluble in the reaction mixture. In the production of polyisobutenes (PIB) by liquid-phase, cationic polymerization of isobutene or hydrocarbon streams containing isobutene in the presence of boron trifluoride as catalyst, the catalytic activity of the BF3 is partly or completely eliminated at a required point in time by means of a solid deactivator which contains BF3-binding prim., sec., tert. and/or quat. nitrogen atoms and is insoluble in the reaction mixture.
