Description
~ ~ 8 7 ~ ~ ) IMP~OVEMENTS IN OR REL~TING TO P~OTOPOLYMERISABLE
COMPONENTS OF RADIATION SENSITIVE COMPOSITIO~S
This invention relates to photopolymerisable components of radiation sensitive compositions and is concerned with such components which include a plurality of polymerisable ethylenic double bonds.
Radiation sensitive plates for use in the production of lithographic printing plates comprise a substrate, e.g. of suitably treated aluminium, coated with a radiation sensitive composition. In use, the composition is image-wise exposed to actinic radiation which changes the solubility of the areas struck by the radiation. Thereafter, the more soluble areas are selectively removed by means of a developer liquid to leave an image constituted by the less soluble areas.
Photopolymerisable compositions have widely been employed as the radiation sensitive compositions in negative-working lithographic plates. Generally, such printing plates have high durability enabling long printing runs to be completed. Also such printing plates often have high sensitivity allowing very short exposure times to be employed. A photopolymerisable composition for use in negative lithographic plates typically comprises a photopolymerisable ethy~enically unsaturated monomer, a photoinitiator or sensitizer and other non-polymerisable components such as a polymeric binder resin, a colorant such as a dye and, optionally, a diazonium compound to prevent oxygen inhibition of photopolymerisation. In the compositions without a diazonium compound, an oxygen barrier layer is often required. There are, however disadvantages associated with such compositions notably: a) colour loss on development due to leaching of the dye, used as colorant, by the developer liquid; b) inadequate wear resistance resulting from the fact that the polymeric binder (which provides the wear resistance) is not 2 ~ 8 7 ~ 3 photopolymerisable; c) loss o photopolymerisation efficiency on storage associated with migration of the photoinitiator or sensitizer out of the radiation sensitive composition; and d) incompatibility of the photopolymerisable monomer and the other components caused by the difference in their physical forms which leads to instability and hence poor shelf-life of the composition.
It has been found that these disadvantages can be overcome by chemically combining the non-polymerisable components of the composition with a compound having the important features of i) containing a plurality of photopolymerisable ethylenic double bonds enabling efficient photopolymerisation to be effected on exposure to actinic radiation; and ii) being substantially free of impurities ensuring the stability of the compositions. The components are thereby chemically bonded to the image matrix after exposure, thus providing improved properties such as enhanced colour contrast after development and increased wear resistance. Preferably the compound also possesses a similar physical form to that of the polymerisable monomer in the composition to improve the homogeneity of the physical form of the composition. The molecular weight of the compounds should preferably be sufficiently high to prevent migration of components such as the photoinitiator or sensitizer.
It has already been proposed to combine components of radiation sensitive compositions with compounds containing ethylenic double bonds. More particularly, reaction products of such components with a compound containing a single acrylate group have been described, but such products are inadequate for use in radiation sensitive compositions due to their low acrylate content which leads to inefficiency in the photopolymerisation process. Their main use has been 2 ~ 8 l ~ 3 ~
in solution free-radical polymerization reactions for polymers. Reaction products of components o~ radiation sensitive compositions with compounds containing a plurality of ethylenic double bonds have been disclosed in the context of the manufacture of printing inks and decorative coatings. Such products are, however, exclusively ~ixtures of the desired product with a substantial amount of associated impurities which are unsuitable for lithographic printing plate applications due to stability pro~lems.
UK patent specification 2,038,849 discloses a 'structurally coloured compound' derived from the reaction between a reactive hydrogen atom-containing dye, a polyisocyanate and a hydroxyl compound containing a plurality of ethylenically unsaturated double bonds. An 'in-situ' method of synthesis is described whereby the dye is first reacted with a polyisocyanate such as tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate and, without isolating the intermediatory product, an ethylenically unsaturated hydroxyl compound is added to the reaction mixture. The final product obtained is a mixture, typically containing up to 15% by-products.
European patent specification No. 136452 and US
patent specification No. 4,722,947 both disclose polymeric materials containing polymerisable ethylenic double bonds. These polymers are characterized by a single ethylenic double bond attached to one reactive site (such as an OH group) and therefore the total content of such double bonds in relation to the polymer is low. It is known that polymers of this type have low efficiency of photopolymerisation.
Japanese patent application 8939698 discloses a novolak epoxy resin modified with a compound containing a number of ethylenic double bonds, pentaerythritol triacrylate and a diisocyanate using an 'in-situ' me~hod. A consequence of such a method is a large 3 ~
increase in the molecular weight of the product or, in some cases, gelation.
There are numerous disclosures of isocyanate compounds containing a single acrylate group. For example, US Patent specifications No. 2,718,516, 2,821,5~4, 2,882,259, 3,299,007, and 3,453,223, disclose various methods for synthesizing isocyanato ethyl methacrylate and DE-OS-3,523,692 discloses a method for synthesizing 4-isocyanato butyl methacrylate. These ethylenically unsaturated isocyanates can be used to introduce ethylenic double bonds into components of radiation sen~i-tive compositions. However, the efficiency of polymerization of the thus modified components is inadequate for use.
Prior to the present invention, isocyanato compounds containing a plurality of ethylenic double bonds had not been isolated as a pure product.
Japanese Patent Application number 1174515 describes a number of such compounds for use in floor coatings.
The compounds are, however, mixtures containing a significant proportion of starting materials, such as diisocyanate, with high toxicity and are unsuitable for use in radiation sensitive compositions.
It is an object of the present invention to provide photopolymerisable compounds useful in radiation sensitive compositions which carry a plurality of photopolymerisable groups containing ethylenically unsaturated double bonds and which are very effective in radiation sensitive compositions.
Preferred compounds include those derived from colorants, polymeric binder resins, photoini~iators, photosensitizers, colour-change agents, anti-halation agents, stabilizers, and other components of radiation sensitive compositions for lithographic printing plate production and the like.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an efficient method for producing such photopolymerisable compounds with no undesired side-reactions and with the minimum amount of associated impurities. This object can be achieved by providing a pure intermediate compound which includes, in a single molecule, a single isocyanate group and a plurality of photopolymerisable ethylenically unsaturated groups.
By virtue of the isocyanate group, the compound can be reacted with any component containing a reactive hydrogen group, such as a hydroxy, mercapto or amino group, whereby the photopolymerisable groups are introduced into the component and thereby such components are bonded to the image on exposure as a result of polymerization of the photopolymerisable groups.
It is yet another object of the present invent~on to provide components of radiation sensitive compositions wi~h an improved physical form in order to reduce the problems of incompatibility and migration of the components.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a polyunsaturated compound having the general formula 1:
O O
,. ..
(~-[X-C-NH-Z(NHCOY)n]r where ~ represents the residue of an active hydrogen containing compound of the formula ~ -(XH)r where XH is a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group or a primary or secondary amino group; r is an integer ranging from 1 to 10 for a simple molecule and from 1 to 10,000 for a polymeric macromolecule; Z represents the residue of a polyisocyanate OCN-Z-(NCO)n where n is 1 or 2; and Y is the residue of a monohydroxyl compound of the formula 2~'~7~',3 ~, YOH where Y contains at least two e-thylenically unsaturated double bonds.
The compound of the formula ~ -(XH)r is preferably a component of a radiation sensitive composition such 5 as (i) an organic colorant or chromophore functioning as a shading dye or colour-change dye such as described by formulae 2-7, or an anti-halation reagent such as described by formulae 8-11, or a sensitizer such as described by formulae 12-16;
(ii) a photo active material such as an organic azide as described by formulae 17-20 or a photoinitiator as described by the Ketone derivatives of formulae 21-26;
(iii) a polymeric binder resin such as a poly (vinyl acetal), a styrene -allyl alcohol copolymer, an acryli.c co- or terpolymer containing hydroxy alkyl methacrylate, a novolak resin or a poly (vinyl phenol); and (iv) an isocyanate blocking agent such as an o~ime, a phenol or a caprolactam.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for producing a polyunsaturated compound of formula 1 which comprises reacting a compound of the formula ~-(XH)r with an ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound o the formula:
OCN-Z-(NH-COY)n 27 to obtain the desired compound.
I'he polyethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound of formula 27 is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate of the formula OCN-Z-(NCO)n 28 2~7~'~,J
where n may be 1 or 2, and an ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of the formula YOH carrying at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds.
In formula 27, Z may be, for example, an aromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic ring. It may also be an alkylene group. Examples of such polyisocyanates are shown by formulae 42 to 52.
The ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of the formula YOH may be of the following detailed general formula:
(I~a-1 (D)a ~ C - (CH20CH2 - lC)b ~ (CH2)c (E)Q 29 (R )3-a (R )3-a where: a=2 or 3 R'=H or alkyl b=O or 1 1=0 or 1 c=0 or 1 In formula 29, D has the structure:
l2 / R3 -CH20 (E)Q- B - C = C 30 .
where E = -(CH2)x-c-o B= single bond, -CH2-, or -C-x = 1 to 3 ~2= H or CH3 R3= H or CH3 R4= H or CH3 R5= H or CH3 R6= H or CH3 ~7~33 Examples of suitable poly ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compounds are glycerol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane triacrylate, tetra(hydroxypropyl) pentaerythritol triacrylate, dipentaerythri-tol pentaacrylate and pentaerythritol triallyl ether.
The ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of formula 29 is preferably prepared from a saturated polyol by reacting all except one of the hydroxy groups with an ethylenically unsaturated compound including a functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxy group. Such polyols are abundant and suitable examples are glycerol, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol or polyhydroxyl compounds resulting from the oxyalkylation of polyols with alkylene oxide, in particular ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, the reaction between the polyisocyanate of formula 28 and the polyunsaturated mono hydroxy compound of formula YO~ is effected in such a way that the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound of formula 27 is produced in a manner such as to avoid the formation of the large amount of by-products which are ordinarily produced when polyisocyanates are reacted with reactive hydrogen-containing compounds.
In accordance with this embodiment, the reaction is carried out in a medium in which the reactants are miscible but in which the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound is immiscible.
This can be achieved by, for example admixing the hydroxy compound o~ formula YOH with a solvent ~ith which it is immiscible but with which it becomes miscible when the polyisocyanate is added. Then, as the reaction proceeds and the polyisocyanate 7~3 ~
concentration decreases, the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate separates out first, thereby preventing further reaction of the remaining isocyanate group.
The selective formation of the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate of the invention can be assisted by using, as the polyisocyanate, an isocyanate having isocyanate groups of differing reactivities such as tolylene diisocyanate or isophorone diisocyanate.
Examples of preferred polyunsaturated monoisocyanates are shown by formulae 31 to 34.
The polyunsaturated mono isocyanate is reacted with a compound of the formula ~ -(XH)r in an inert solvent, preferably, with the addition of a suitable catalyst such as dibutyltin dilaurate to afford the polyunsaturated lithographic plate component of the present invention. Suitable inert solvents are, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, N-methyl pyrrolidinone or acetonitrile. Preferred examples of the resultant polyunsaturated lithographic plate components are shown by formulae 35 to 41.

COMPONENTS OF RADIATION SENSITIVE COMPOSITIO~S
This invention relates to photopolymerisable components of radiation sensitive compositions and is concerned with such components which include a plurality of polymerisable ethylenic double bonds.
Radiation sensitive plates for use in the production of lithographic printing plates comprise a substrate, e.g. of suitably treated aluminium, coated with a radiation sensitive composition. In use, the composition is image-wise exposed to actinic radiation which changes the solubility of the areas struck by the radiation. Thereafter, the more soluble areas are selectively removed by means of a developer liquid to leave an image constituted by the less soluble areas.
Photopolymerisable compositions have widely been employed as the radiation sensitive compositions in negative-working lithographic plates. Generally, such printing plates have high durability enabling long printing runs to be completed. Also such printing plates often have high sensitivity allowing very short exposure times to be employed. A photopolymerisable composition for use in negative lithographic plates typically comprises a photopolymerisable ethy~enically unsaturated monomer, a photoinitiator or sensitizer and other non-polymerisable components such as a polymeric binder resin, a colorant such as a dye and, optionally, a diazonium compound to prevent oxygen inhibition of photopolymerisation. In the compositions without a diazonium compound, an oxygen barrier layer is often required. There are, however disadvantages associated with such compositions notably: a) colour loss on development due to leaching of the dye, used as colorant, by the developer liquid; b) inadequate wear resistance resulting from the fact that the polymeric binder (which provides the wear resistance) is not 2 ~ 8 7 ~ 3 photopolymerisable; c) loss o photopolymerisation efficiency on storage associated with migration of the photoinitiator or sensitizer out of the radiation sensitive composition; and d) incompatibility of the photopolymerisable monomer and the other components caused by the difference in their physical forms which leads to instability and hence poor shelf-life of the composition.
It has been found that these disadvantages can be overcome by chemically combining the non-polymerisable components of the composition with a compound having the important features of i) containing a plurality of photopolymerisable ethylenic double bonds enabling efficient photopolymerisation to be effected on exposure to actinic radiation; and ii) being substantially free of impurities ensuring the stability of the compositions. The components are thereby chemically bonded to the image matrix after exposure, thus providing improved properties such as enhanced colour contrast after development and increased wear resistance. Preferably the compound also possesses a similar physical form to that of the polymerisable monomer in the composition to improve the homogeneity of the physical form of the composition. The molecular weight of the compounds should preferably be sufficiently high to prevent migration of components such as the photoinitiator or sensitizer.
It has already been proposed to combine components of radiation sensitive compositions with compounds containing ethylenic double bonds. More particularly, reaction products of such components with a compound containing a single acrylate group have been described, but such products are inadequate for use in radiation sensitive compositions due to their low acrylate content which leads to inefficiency in the photopolymerisation process. Their main use has been 2 ~ 8 l ~ 3 ~
in solution free-radical polymerization reactions for polymers. Reaction products of components o~ radiation sensitive compositions with compounds containing a plurality of ethylenic double bonds have been disclosed in the context of the manufacture of printing inks and decorative coatings. Such products are, however, exclusively ~ixtures of the desired product with a substantial amount of associated impurities which are unsuitable for lithographic printing plate applications due to stability pro~lems.
UK patent specification 2,038,849 discloses a 'structurally coloured compound' derived from the reaction between a reactive hydrogen atom-containing dye, a polyisocyanate and a hydroxyl compound containing a plurality of ethylenically unsaturated double bonds. An 'in-situ' method of synthesis is described whereby the dye is first reacted with a polyisocyanate such as tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate and, without isolating the intermediatory product, an ethylenically unsaturated hydroxyl compound is added to the reaction mixture. The final product obtained is a mixture, typically containing up to 15% by-products.
European patent specification No. 136452 and US
patent specification No. 4,722,947 both disclose polymeric materials containing polymerisable ethylenic double bonds. These polymers are characterized by a single ethylenic double bond attached to one reactive site (such as an OH group) and therefore the total content of such double bonds in relation to the polymer is low. It is known that polymers of this type have low efficiency of photopolymerisation.
Japanese patent application 8939698 discloses a novolak epoxy resin modified with a compound containing a number of ethylenic double bonds, pentaerythritol triacrylate and a diisocyanate using an 'in-situ' me~hod. A consequence of such a method is a large 3 ~
increase in the molecular weight of the product or, in some cases, gelation.
There are numerous disclosures of isocyanate compounds containing a single acrylate group. For example, US Patent specifications No. 2,718,516, 2,821,5~4, 2,882,259, 3,299,007, and 3,453,223, disclose various methods for synthesizing isocyanato ethyl methacrylate and DE-OS-3,523,692 discloses a method for synthesizing 4-isocyanato butyl methacrylate. These ethylenically unsaturated isocyanates can be used to introduce ethylenic double bonds into components of radiation sen~i-tive compositions. However, the efficiency of polymerization of the thus modified components is inadequate for use.
Prior to the present invention, isocyanato compounds containing a plurality of ethylenic double bonds had not been isolated as a pure product.
Japanese Patent Application number 1174515 describes a number of such compounds for use in floor coatings.
The compounds are, however, mixtures containing a significant proportion of starting materials, such as diisocyanate, with high toxicity and are unsuitable for use in radiation sensitive compositions.
It is an object of the present invention to provide photopolymerisable compounds useful in radiation sensitive compositions which carry a plurality of photopolymerisable groups containing ethylenically unsaturated double bonds and which are very effective in radiation sensitive compositions.
Preferred compounds include those derived from colorants, polymeric binder resins, photoini~iators, photosensitizers, colour-change agents, anti-halation agents, stabilizers, and other components of radiation sensitive compositions for lithographic printing plate production and the like.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an efficient method for producing such photopolymerisable compounds with no undesired side-reactions and with the minimum amount of associated impurities. This object can be achieved by providing a pure intermediate compound which includes, in a single molecule, a single isocyanate group and a plurality of photopolymerisable ethylenically unsaturated groups.
By virtue of the isocyanate group, the compound can be reacted with any component containing a reactive hydrogen group, such as a hydroxy, mercapto or amino group, whereby the photopolymerisable groups are introduced into the component and thereby such components are bonded to the image on exposure as a result of polymerization of the photopolymerisable groups.
It is yet another object of the present invent~on to provide components of radiation sensitive compositions wi~h an improved physical form in order to reduce the problems of incompatibility and migration of the components.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a polyunsaturated compound having the general formula 1:

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for producing a polyunsaturated compound of formula 1 which comprises reacting a compound of the formula ~-(XH)r with an ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound o the formula:
OCN-Z-(NH-COY)n 27 to obtain the desired compound.
I'he polyethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound of formula 27 is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate of the formula OCN-Z-(NCO)n 28 2~7~'~,J
where n may be 1 or 2, and an ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of the formula YOH carrying at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds.
In formula 27, Z may be, for example, an aromatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic ring. It may also be an alkylene group. Examples of such polyisocyanates are shown by formulae 42 to 52.
The ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of the formula YOH may be of the following detailed general formula:

l2 / R3 -CH20 (E)Q- B - C = C 30 .
where E = -(CH2)x-c-o B= single bond, -CH2-, or -C-x = 1 to 3 ~2= H or CH3 R3= H or CH3 R4= H or CH3 R5= H or CH3 R6= H or CH3 ~7~33 Examples of suitable poly ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compounds are glycerol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane triacrylate, tetra(hydroxypropyl) pentaerythritol triacrylate, dipentaerythri-tol pentaacrylate and pentaerythritol triallyl ether.
The ethylenically unsaturated monohydroxy compound of formula 29 is preferably prepared from a saturated polyol by reacting all except one of the hydroxy groups with an ethylenically unsaturated compound including a functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxy group. Such polyols are abundant and suitable examples are glycerol, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol or polyhydroxyl compounds resulting from the oxyalkylation of polyols with alkylene oxide, in particular ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, the reaction between the polyisocyanate of formula 28 and the polyunsaturated mono hydroxy compound of formula YO~ is effected in such a way that the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound of formula 27 is produced in a manner such as to avoid the formation of the large amount of by-products which are ordinarily produced when polyisocyanates are reacted with reactive hydrogen-containing compounds.
In accordance with this embodiment, the reaction is carried out in a medium in which the reactants are miscible but in which the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate compound is immiscible.
This can be achieved by, for example admixing the hydroxy compound o~ formula YOH with a solvent ~ith which it is immiscible but with which it becomes miscible when the polyisocyanate is added. Then, as the reaction proceeds and the polyisocyanate 7~3 ~
concentration decreases, the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate separates out first, thereby preventing further reaction of the remaining isocyanate group.
The selective formation of the ethylenically unsaturated mono isocyanate of the invention can be assisted by using, as the polyisocyanate, an isocyanate having isocyanate groups of differing reactivities such as tolylene diisocyanate or isophorone diisocyanate.
Examples of preferred polyunsaturated monoisocyanates are shown by formulae 31 to 34.
The polyunsaturated mono isocyanate is reacted with a compound of the formula ~ -(XH)r in an inert solvent, preferably, with the addition of a suitable catalyst such as dibutyltin dilaurate to afford the polyunsaturated lithographic plate component of the present invention. Suitable inert solvents are, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, N-methyl pyrrolidinone or acetonitrile. Preferred examples of the resultant polyunsaturated lithographic plate components are shown by formulae 35 to 41.

(ii) The prior art method suffers from two problems. In terms of synthesis method, it showed inconsistency, especially when modification of dyes of relatively high molecular weight or dyes of the polyhydroxy type was attempted. Premature crosslinking took place. Also lack of leaching resistance was still evident despite the attempt to confer photocrosslinkability. This was due to the existence in the final product of the non-photocrosslinkable form of the dye as is clearly demonstrated by comparing the colour differences in Examples 20 and 21.
