[142] As a method for producing the polymeric fluorescent substance of the present invention, for example, the method described in JP-A No. 5-202355 is mentioned when the main chain has a vinylene group. That is, polymerization of a compound having an aldehyde group and a compound having a phosphonium salt group or a polymerization of a compound having an aldehyde group with a phosphonium salt group according to the Wittig reaction; Polymerization of a compound having a vinyl group and a compound having a halogen group, or a polymerization of a compound having a vinyl group and a halogen group, according to a Heck reaction; Polymerization of a compound having an aldehyde group and a compound having an alkylphosphonate group, or a compound having an aldehyde group and an alkylphosphonate group, according to the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction; Polycondensation reaction of a compound having two or more halogenated methyl groups according to the dehalogenation hydrogenation method; Polycondensation of compounds having two or more sulfonium salt groups, according to the sulfonium salt decomposition method; Both following polymerization of the aldehyde group and the compound having an acetonitrile group or the polymerization and the McMurry reaction of the compound having an aldehyde group and an acetonitrile group according to the knoevenagel reaction. Examples are methods such as polymerization of a compound having an aldehyde group on the phase.
[143] When the vinylene group is not included in the main chain, for example, polymerization by the Suzuki coupling reaction from the corresponding monomer, polymerization by the Grignard reaction, Ni (0) Examples include polymerization using a catalyst, polymerization using an oxidizing agent (such as FeCl 3 ), electrochemically performing oxidative polymerization, and decomposition of an intermediate polymer having a suitable release group.
[144] Among them, the polymerization method according to the Beatig reaction, the polymerization method according to the heck reaction, the polymerization method according to the Horner-Wordsworth-Emons method, the polymerization method according to the Kneubenagel reaction, the polymerization method according to the Suzuki coupling reaction, Grignard Polymerization by reaction and polymerization using Ni (0) catalyst are preferred, since the structural control is easy in these methods.
[145] In particular, compounds used as monomers, having a large number of reactive substituents, may optionally be dissolved in organic solvents and reacted at the melting or boiling points of the organic solvents using alkalis or suitable catalysts. See, eg, "Organic Reactions", vol. 14, pp. 270 to 490, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1965, "Organic Reactions", vol. 27, pp. 345 to 390, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1982, "Organic Synthesis", Collective Volume VI, pp. 407 to 411, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1988, Chemical Review, vol. 95, p. 2457 (1995), Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, vol. 576, p. 147 (1999), Journal of Praktical Chemistry, vol. 336, p. 247 (1994), Makromolecular Chemistry Macromolecular Symposium, vol. 12, p. 229 (1987), etc.) Can be used.
[146] The organic solvent used is sufficiently deoxygenated and the reaction depends on the compound and the reaction in which the treatment is used, but in general it is preferably carried out under an inert atmosphere in order to suppress side reactions. Furthermore, it is likewise preferred to carry out the dehydration treatment (but this does not apply in the case of reactions of two-phase systems using water, such as the Suzuki coupling reaction).
[147] For the reaction, alkali or suitable catalyst is added appropriately. These may be selected depending on the reaction used. It is preferred that the alkali or catalyst is sufficiently soluble in the solvent used for the reaction. As a method of mixing an alkali or a catalyst, the method of gradually adding a solution of an alkali or a catalyst while stirring under inert atmosphere, such as argon and nitrogen, or the reverse method is a method of gradually adding a reaction solution to a solution of an alkali or a catalyst.
[148] More specifically, in the reaction conditions, in the case of the Beatig reaction, the Horner reaction, the kneubenagel reaction, and the like, the alkali is added in an amount of not less than equivalent, preferably 1 to 3 equivalents, based on the amount of functional groups of the monomer. To react. Alkali is not particularly limited and includes, for example, metal alcoholates (such as potassium tertiary butoxide, sodium tertiary butoxide, sodium ethylate and lithium methylate), hydride reagents (such as sodium hydride), and the like. Amides such as sodium amide and the like can be used. As the solvent, N, N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, toluene and the like are used. The reaction can usually proceed at a reaction temperature of room temperature to about 150 ° C. The reaction time is, for example, 5 minutes to 40 hours, a time for sufficient progress of the polymerization may be allowed, and since the reaction time does not need to be left for a long time after the completion of the reaction, the reaction time is preferably 10 minutes to 24 hours. It's time. The reaction concentration can be usefully selected from a range of about 0.01% by weight to the maximum solution concentration, because if the concentration is too low, the reaction efficiency is poor, if it is too high, the reaction control is difficult, and the usual concentration range is 0.1 to 20% by weight. In the case of a heck reaction, the monomers are reacted using a palladium catalyst in the presence of a base (eg triethylamine, etc.). The reaction is carried out at a reaction temperature of about 80 to 160 ° C. for about 1 to 100 hours using a relatively high boiling solvent (eg, N, N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc.).
[149] In the case of Suzuki coupling reaction, palladium [tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)], palladium acetate and the like are used, for example, as catalysts, inorganic bases (such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, barium hydroxide, etc.), organic Bases (e.g. triethylamine and the like) and inorganic salts (e.g. cesium fluoride and the like) are preferably added and reacted in an equivalent amount, preferably in an amount of 1 to 10 equivalents, based on the monomers. Inorganic salts are used as aqueous solutions, and reactions in a two phase system may also be acceptable. Examples of the solvent include N, N-dimethylformamide, toluene, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and the like. Depending on the solvent, temperatures of 50 to 160 ° C. are preferably used. It may also be possible to raise the temperature to near the boiling point of the solvent, causing reflux. The reaction time is about 1 to 200 hours.
[150] In the case of the Grignard reaction, the halide and the metal Mg are reacted in an ether base solvent (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, etc.) to prepare a Grignard reagent mixed with a separately prepared monomer solution. An example is a method in which a nickel or palladium catalyst is added while paying attention to a reaction, followed by raising the reaction temperature to reflux. The Grignard reagent is used in equivalents based on monomers, preferably in amounts of 1 to 1.5 equivalents and more preferably 1 to 1.2 equivalents. In addition, in the case of the polymerization by a method different from that described above, the reaction can be carried out by a known method.
