Patent

CA 2161824

The present invention provides a polyurethane comprising a polyester diol component, an organic diisocyanate component and .a chain extender component, 30 mole % or more of dicarboxylic acid units constituting said polyester diol being units from 3,8-dimethyldecanedioic acid unit and/or units from 3,7-dimethyldecanedioic acid unit, said polyester diol having a number-average molecular weight of 500 to 6000; a molded article comprising the same; a polyurethane fiber comprising the same; and said polyester diol. The present invention provides-a process for producing a dimethyldecanedioic acid represented by the general formula (II) HOOC-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH(A)-CH(B)-CH2-COOH (II) wherein either of A and B represents a methyl group and the rest represents a hydrogen atom, which comprises oxidizing a dimethyldecanedial represented by the general formula (I) OHC-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH(A)-CH(B)-CH2-CHO (I) wherein either of. A and B represents a methyl group and the rest represents a hydrogen atom. The present invention provides a dimethyldecanedial represented by the general formula (I). Furthermore, the present invention provides a process for producinq a dimethyldecanedial represented by the general formula (I), comprising hydroformylating a diolefin represented by the general formula (III) CH2=C(CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH(A)-CH(B)=CH2 (III) wherein either of A and B represents a methyl group and the -55- rest represents a hydrogen atom. The polyurethane of the present invention is superior in various properties such as resistance to hydrolysis, heat resistance, resistance to hot water, cold resistance, fungal resistance and mechanical performances e.g., strength at break and elongation at break, as well as injection moldability. The polyurethane fiber of the present invention is superior in heat resistance, resistance to hot water, cold resistance and resistance to hydrolysis, and is dyeable under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Furthermore, it is superior, after dyeing, in tensile strength and elongation, elastic recovery, fungal resistance, resistance to chlorine and color fastness. The dimethyldecanedial of the present invention is useful as a raw material of production of the dimethyl- decanedioic acid represented by the general formula (II). Furthermore, the polyester diol containing the dimethyldecanedioic acid as a dicarboxylic acid component, shows excellent resistance to hydrolysis and is useful as a raw material for producing high-performance polyurethanes. -56-
