The macrocyclic polythia ether [7.7](2,6)dithia(2,5)thiophenophane 2 has been prepared by condensation of the dilithio salt of propane-1,3-dithiol with 2,5-bis (chloromethyl)lhiophene.     

Improved Preparation of 1,3-Bis(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)imidazolium Tetrafluoroborate

A convenient, high-yielding, multi-hundred-gram preparation of 1,3-bis(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)imidazolium tetrafluoroborate is described. The preparation of this salt has significant advantages over the chloride as it eliminates potential bis(chloromethyl) ether formation. The improved conditions provided the tetrafluoroborate salt in 61% overall yield in two steps from 2,6-di-iso-propylaniline.

Reaction of 2-Chloro-5-(chloromethyl)thiophene with Monoethanolamine Vinyl Ether

At the alkylation of monoethanolamine vinyl ether with 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)thiophene in ethyl alcohol (60-70°C) a product of disubstitution and transvinylation, viz. N,N-bis(5-chloro-2-thienylmethyl)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium chloride is formed. The analogous reaction in the absence of solvent proceeds with the formation of N-(5-chloro-2-thienylmethyl)-N-(2-vinyloxyethyl)amine.

Reactions of Bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic(-Phosphinothioic) Chlorides with Silylated Carbamates and Trimethylsilyl N-Trimethylsilylacetimidoate

Bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic chloride reacts with trimethylsilyl methylcarbamate in benzene in the presence of a base to give trimethylsilyl bis(chloromethyl)phosphinate. The same reaction performed without a solvent and in the absence of a base yields trimethylsilyl bis(chloromethyl)phosphinate and bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic anhydride. Reaction of bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic chloride with trimethylsilyl diethylcarbamate yields N,N-diethylbis(chloromethyl)phosphinic amide. The reaction of bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic (-phosphinothioic) chlorides with trimethylsilyl N-trimethylsilylacetimidoate was studied.     

Studies in the field of 2, 1, 3-Thiadiazole and 2,1, 3-Selenadiazole

Benzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole (I) undergoes chloromethylation with dichlorodimethyl ether in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride with the predominant formation of 4, 7-di(chloromethyl)benzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole (II). Bases and pseudobases (paraformaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine, dimethylformamide) exert an inhibiting influence on this reaction. In the presence of these substances, a mixture of compound II and 4-(chloromethyl)benzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole (III) is formed, or else no reaction takes place. The structures of compounds II and III has been shown by their reductive decomposition to o-diamines described in the literature. The high reactivity of the chlorine in the chloromethyl group has enabled various new derivatives of benzo-2, 1, 3-thiadiazole to be obtained by its replacement with hydroxy, thiocyanato, di(-hydroxyethyl)amino, di(-chloroethyl)amino, formyl, and carboxy groups.For communication XLVIII, see [11].     

Synthesis of silicon-containing vinyl ether monomers and oligomers and their photoinitiated polymerization

Silicon-containing divinyl ether monomers were synthesized by the addition reaction of glycidyl vinyl ether ( 1 ) with various silyl dichlorides using tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a catalyst. The reaction of 1 with diphenyl dichlorosilane gave bis-[1-(chloromethyl)-2-(vinyloxy)-ethyl]diphenyl silane ( 3a ) in 89% yield. Polycondensations of 3a with terephthalic acid were also carried out using 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU) to afford silicon-containing polyfunctional vinyl ether oligomers ( 5 ). A multifunctional Si-monomer with both vinyl ether and methacrylate groups ( 7 ) was prepared by the reaction of 3a with potassium methacrylate using TBAB as a phase transfer catalyst. Photoinitiated cationic polymerizations of these vinyl ether compounds proceeded rapidly using the sulfonium salt, bis-[4-(diphenyl-sulfonio)phenyl]sulfide-bis-hexafluorophoshate (DPSP), as the cationic photoinitiator in neat mixtures upon UV irradiation. Multifunctional monomer 7 with both vinyl ether and methacrylate groups showed “hybrid curing properties” using both DPSP and the radical photoinitiator, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphoshine oxide (TPO). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Chloromethyl derivatives of 3-furyl-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylic acids

Methoxymetyl derivatives of furoylphosphonates react with ethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphoranes to give phosphorylated (methoxymethylfuryl)acrylates. The reaction proceeds stereoselectively: phosphoryl and ester groups at the double bond are always trans-located. Treatment with dichloromethylmethyl ether and catalytic amount of zinc chloride converts the methoxymethyl group in the synthesized compounds into chloromethyl one. The ester group and the double bond are inert under these conditions.     

Differing reactivities and products in the reaction of some N-methylimidazol-2-yl,oxazol-2-yl- and thiazol-2-ylsilanes and -stannanes with acid chlorides

Some new N-methylimidazoles, oxazoles and thiazoles (compounds 7-15 ) with a keto-function in the 2-position have been synthesized by the reaction of heterocyclic substituted silanes and stannanes with the corresponding acid chlorides. In cases where the silylated heterocycles needed more drastic reaction conditions the use of the stannylated heterocycles was indicated. In the reaction of benzothiazol-2-yltrimethyl-stannane ( 6 ) with acetyl chloride the ester 17 and the bibenzothiazolinylidene 18 were formed. The reaction of 6 with chloromethyl methyl ether afforded the olefin 19 as the only product. Mechanisms for the above reactions are discussed.

t-Butyl Chloromethyl Ether

A convenient preparation of t-butyl methylthiomethyl ether (2) and its conversion to t-butyl chloromethyl ether (1) are described. Methylthiomethanol (4), which was previously unknown, was isolated as a by-product from the preparation of (2): it is a stable distillable liquid.     

Synthesis and Extractive Properties of Hexaphosphorylated Calix[6]arenes

A series of calix[6]arenes substituted with phosphoryl functional groups were prepared by the Arbuzov reaction of hexakis(chloromethyl)calix[6]arene hexamethyl ether with isopropyl esters of trivalent phosphorus acids, followed by appropriate chemical transformations. Molecular modeling and NMR data show that phosphorylated calix[6]arenes exist in the stereochemically labile 1,2-alternate conformation. The extractive power of these compounds with respect to americium and europium was studied. Due to the cooperative binding of the metal cation with phosphoryl groups, the phosphorylated calixarenes are more effective extractants than their acylcic analogs and commercial organophosphorus extractants.     

Synthesis of polysulfonates containing reactive pendant chloromethyl groups by the polyaddition of bisepoxides with disulfonyl chlorides

Polysulfonates with reactive pendant chloromethyl groups were synthesized by polyadditions of bisepoxides with disulfonyl chlorides. The polyaddition of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BPGE) with m-benzene disulfonyl chloride (m-BDSC) occurred in anisole without any catalyst at 130°C for 24 h. However, polymer with high molecular weight was not obtained. On the other hand, the polyadditions of BPGE with m-BDSC proceeded very smoothly with high yield (81–91%) to give polymers with relatively high molecular weights in anisole at 130°C for 24 h when quaternary phosphonium salts were used as catalysts. The polyaddition was also enhanced by the addition of certain crown ether complexes. However, the catalytic activity of these compounds was less than those of quaternary phosphonium salts. Furthermore, polyadditions of certain bisepoxides with disulfonyl chlorides were also carried out to produce the corresponding polymers under the same reaction conditions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Cationic copolymerization of 3,3-bis(chloromethyl) oxetane with vinyl compounds

Copolymerizations of 3,3-bis(chloromethyl)oxetane (BCMO) with some vinyl compounds were carried out with cationic catalysts in various solvents to determine what kind of vinyl compound is able to copolymerize with BCMO. p-Methylstyrene (pMS), 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE), α-methylstyrene (αMS), and isobutene (IB) were used as comonomers. The rate of consumption of each monomer was measured by gas chromatrography. Plots of copolymer composition in the copolymerization of BCMO with pMS were characterized by S-shaped curves in several solvents. As poly-BCMO is insoluble and the vinyl polymers are soluble in benzene, the polymers obtained were separated into benzene-soluble and benzene-insoluble fractions, and the composition of each fraction was determined by elemental analysis. It was found that pMS, CEVE and IB formed a copolymer with BCMO, but αMS produced no copolymer with BCMO. Thus the formation of copolymer between a cyclic ether and some vinyl monomers was observed by a cationic mechanism. The cross-propagation mechanism is discussed on the basis of these results.     

Heteropolyacid-catalyzed synthesis of chloromethyl methyl ether

An efficient (in terms of experiment and time) synthetic procedure for chloromethyl methyl ether (MOM-Cl) is described using heteropolyacids as catalysts.     

Synthesis and copolymerization of new phosphorus‐containing acrylates

Two phosphorus‐containing acrylate monomers were synthesized from the reaction of ethyl α‐chloromethyl acrylate and t‐butyl α‐bromomethyl acrylate with triethyl phosphite. The selective hydrolysis of the ethyl ester monomer with trimethylsilyl bromide (TMSBr) gave a phosphonic acid monomer. The attempted bulk polymerizations of the monomers at 57–60 °C with 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were unsuccessful; however, the monomers were copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in bulk at 60 °C with AIBN. The resulting copolymers produced chars on burning, showing potential as flame‐retardant materials. Additionally, α‐(chloromethyl)acryloyl chloride (CMAC) was reacted with diethyl (hydroxymethyl)phosphonate to obtain a new monomer with identical ester and ether moieties. This monomer was hydrolyzed with TMSBr, homopolymerized, and copolymerized with MMA. The thermal stabilities of the copolymers increased with increasing amounts of the phosphonate monomer in the copolymers. A new route to highly reactive phosphorus‐containing acrylate monomers was developed. A new derivative of CMAC with mixed ester and ether groups was synthesized by substitution, first with diethyl (hydroxymethyl)phosphonate and then with sodium acetate. This monomer showed the highest reactivity and gave a crosslinked polymer. The incorporation of an ester group increased the rate of polymerization. The relative reactivities of the synthesized monomers in photopolymerizations were determined and compared with those of the other phosphorous‐containing acrylate monomers. Changing the monomer structure allowed control of the polymerization reactivity so that new phosphorus‐containing polymers with desirable properties could be obtained. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
