Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Lewis acid polymerization catalyst has a general formula M(R 1 ) 1 (R 2 ) 1 (R 3 ) 1 (R 4 ) 0 or 1 , whereas M is boron, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independent, R 1 is a 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phenyl group, R 2 is the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phenyl group or a first fluoro-substituted phenyl group selected from Set 1 structures, R 3 is independently a second fluoro-substituted phenyl group selected from the Set 1 structures, and optional R 4 includes a third functional group or functional polymer group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A Lewis acid polymerization catalyst, comprising: a general formula M(R 1 ) 1 (R 2 ) 1 (R 3 ) 1 (R 4 ) 0 or 1 , whereas M is boron, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are each independent, R 1 is a 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phenyl group, R 2 is the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phenyl group or a first substituted phenyl group selected from Set 1 structures, R 3 is independently a second substituted phenyl group selected from the Set 1 structures, and optional R 4 includes a functional group or functional polymer group, wherein the Set 1 structures are: 2. The Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R 2 is the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted phenyl group. 3. The Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R 2 is the first substituted phenyl group selected from Set 1 structures. 4. The method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the Lewis acid catalyst has the general formula M(R 1 ) 1 (R 2 ) 1 (R 3 ) 1 (R 4 ) 1 . 5. The Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in claim 4 , wherein R 4 is a cyclic ether having 3-10 carbon atoms. 6. The Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in claim 4 , wherein R 4 is a ketone having 3-10 carbon atoms. 7. The Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 , wherein the Lewis acid catalyst is a polymerization catalyst for forming a polyether polyol. 8. A polyether polyol that is a non-finished polyol that includes the Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 . 9. A polyurethane polymer that is the reaction product of the polyether polyol prepared with the Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 and an isocyanate. 10. A method of producing a polyether polyol, the method comprising providing the Lewis acid catalyst as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 .
