A chemical study of 2-butyne-1,4-diol

Commercial grade 2-butyne-1,4-diol has been used in electroplating for several years. In laboratory experiments, its presence in the electrolyte increases the current efficiency of zinc electro-winning. Its chemical behaviour in solution is not well known. The present paper indicates that the brownish technical grade 2-butyne-1,4-diol contains the monomer, the dimer and some trimer. Pure monomeric 2-butyne-1,4-diol is a white solid obtained by evaporation of the technical grade product. The monomer is slowly transformed into dimer and possibly into a trimer when dissolved in water. Various analytical techniques were used in the study of this system. Factor analysis with column cross-validation was applied to chromatographic data to help in the resolution of the system.

Polycondensation of butenediol: synthesis of telechelic 2-butene-1,4-diol oligomers

The catalytic condensation of cis-2-butene-1,4-diol with CpRu(MQA)(C(3)H(5)) (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, MQA = 4-methoxyquinoline-2-carboxylate) generates poly(2-butenediol), an unsaturated telechelic polyether diol with molecular weights between 400 and 4600 g/mol. This Ru(IV) allyl catalyst enchains 2-butene-1,4-diol primarily as the linear trans-2-butenyl ether (92%) along with vinyl branches (8%). These telechelic oligomers are useful chain extenders and macromonomers, as demonstrated by their use in the synthesis of poly(lactide)-b-poly(butenediol)-b-poly(lactide) triblock copolymers. Model studies support a proposed mechanism involving the formation of Ru(IV) allyl intermediates from allylic alcohols and chain growth by selective nucleophilic displacement at the terminus of the Ru(IV) allyl to generate trans-2-butenyl ether linkages.
