Synthesis of block cotelomers involving a perfluorinated chain and a hydrophilic chain. Part I. Use of fluorinated telogens with trichloromethyl end groups

The synthesis of compounds involving a perfluorinated chain and a trichloromethyl group at the end of the chain is carried out by esterifying an alcohol with trichloracetic acid or by adding CCl₄ to a perfluorinated alcohol acrylate. Cl₃C? CO₂? (CH₂)₂? C₆F₁₃ and Cl₃C? CH₂? CHCl? CO₂? (CH₂)₂? C₆F₁₃ are obtained, respectively. These telogens are both used to initiate a polyacrylamide chain, thus allowing the synthesis of new highly hydrosoluble surfactants. The transfer constant of ferric chloride to the polyacrylamide chain can be calculated by studying the kinetics of the telomerization reaction. We found C = 16 at 125°C. Telomers can be prepared in which the polymer chain contains between 10 to 1000 acrylamide units; the degree of polymerization can be precisely predicted according to the amounts of products allowed to react.     

Synthesis of block cotelomers involving a perfluorinated chain and a hydrophilic chain. II. Use of fluorinated telogens with iodine or thiol end groups

Radical acrylamide telomerization was carried out with three fluorinated telogens, C₆F₁₃C₂H₄I, C₆F₁₃I, and C₆F₁₃-C₂H₄SH with AIBN as initiator. Transfer constants were determined to be 40 × 10^?4, 550 × 10^?4, and 6500 × 10^?4, respectively. Reactions were carried out in butyronitrile, a solvent which also transfers to the growing chain. In the telomerization, the intervention of the solvent, whose transfer constant was also determined, is evaluated quantitatively. Thus the formation of side products, which may reach proportions on the order of 50% compared with the telomer expected, can be explained.     

New fluorinated polysiloxanes containing an ester function in the spacer. I. Synthesis and characterization

Unsaturated perfluoroalkyl esters derived from undecylenic acid: CH₂?CH? (CH₂)₈? COO? CH₂? CH₂? R_F (with R_F?C₆F₁₃, 2a and R_F?C₈F₁₇, 2b ) and C₈F₁₇? (CH₂)₁₀? COO? CH₂? CH?CH₂, 2c were prepared with excellent yields. Their hydrosilylation by methylhydrodimethylsiloxane copolymers of various Si? H contents gives new fluorinated polysiloxanes which were examined by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, GPC, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical polarizing microscopy. Polymers derived from compounds 2a and 2b exhibit mesomorphic structures. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of some polychloro hydrocarbons and related compounds

Data derived from the carbon-13 NMR spectra of 37 organic polychloro compounds allow one to identify readily the ? CHCl₂, ? CCl₂? and ? CH₂Cl groups, the ¹³C signals of which are registered in the shift ranges of 67 to 78 (80), 85 to 96 and 38 to 55 (59) ppm (from TMS), respectively, and have the distinctive one bond spin-spin coupling constants ¹J(C? H) 170 to 184 Hz (for the ? CHCl₂ groups) and 147 to 158 Hz (for the ? CH₂Cl groups). The ? CCl₂CH₂CH₂Cl fragment features characteristic diamagnetic shieldings of the ? CCl₂? and ? CH₂Cl that may be related to increased electron density on both of these groups.     

Synthesis and characterization of polyyne polymer containing nickel in the main chain

The synthesis of the nickel dialkynyl complex Ni(C?C? C₆H₄? C?CH)₂(PPh₃)₂ and of the corresponding polyyne polymer containing nickel in the main chain ? [Ni(PPh₃)₂? C?C? C₆H₄? C?C? ]_n are described and discussed. A new mixed solvent system DMSO/HNEt₂ and homogeneous step-wise condensation method used for their synthesis are presented for the first time. The Ni-polyyne polymer obtained is dark yellow powder and soluble in THF or CH₂Cl₂. Its M?_w is about 10⁴, and the MWD is less than 2. Both the prepared complex and polymer have been characterized by IR, UV, ¹H-NMR, and DTA. Preliminary results on photoluminesence of nickel polyyne polymers are present. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 74. Synthese und NMR-Spektren von Si-methylierten und -chlorierten 2,2-Dichloro-1,3-disilapropanen und 2-Methyl-2-chloro-1,3-disilapropanen

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 74. Synthesis and NMR-Spectra of Si-methylated and -chlorinated 2,2-Dichloro-1,3-disilapropanes and 2-Methyl-2-chloro-1,3-disilapropanes The compounds me₃Si? CCl₂? Sime_nCl_3?n (n = 1–3; me = CH₃) are synthesized by reaction of me₃Si? CCl₂Li (formed from me₃Si? CCl₂H with n-buLi, bu = butyl) with the appropriate methylchlorosilanes. The compounds Clme₂Si? CCl₂? Sime_nCl_3?n are obtained by analogous reactions of (C₆H₅)me₂Si? CCl₂Li, cleavage of the Si-phenyl group with bromine and conversion of the Si? Br to the Si? Cl group with HCl in PCl₃. The 2-methyl-2-chloro-1,3-disilapropanes are synthesized by lithination of the CCl₂ group of 2,2-dichloro-1,3-disilapropanes, followed by reaction with meI. (Clme₂Si)₂CmeCl is obtained from (C₆H₅me₂Si)₂CCl₂ by reaction with n-buLi to (C₆H₅me₂Si)₂ CClLi, which forms (C₆H₅me₂Si)CClme with meI. Cleavage with bromine to (Brme₂Si)₂CClme and reaction with HCl/PCl₃ leads to the expected compound. The influence of the substitution on the ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectra is investigated.     

UHMWPE with short‐chain branches synthesized by alkenyl substituted phenoxy–imine catalysts in ethylene polymerization

The alkenyl substituted phenoxy–imine complexes [2‐C₃H₅‐6‐(2, 3, 5, 6‐C₆F₄H‐N?CH)C₆H₃O]₂TiCl₂ (C₃H₅=? CH₂? CH?CH₂ or ? CH?CH? CH₃) are synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and elemental analysis. When activated by MAO, they show high activity for the polymerization of ethylene to UHMWPE under different conditions (temperatures and polymerization time). Most of the resulting polymers have high molecular weights (>1.0 × 10⁶ g·mol^?1) and high melting points as well as crystallinity. To clarify the effect of the alkenyl group on the catalytic performance and the resultant polymer microstructure, the corresponding saturated complexes of type [2‐C₃H₇?6‐(2, 3, 5, 6‐C₆F₄H‐N?CH)C₆H₃O]₂TiCl₂ where C₃H₇ = –CH₂? CH₂? CH₃ or ? CH(CH₃)₂ were synthesized and tested as catalysts in ethylene polymerization under the same reaction conditions. The microstructure and morphologies of these two species of PE samples were fully compared by the analysis of ¹³C NMR, GPC, DSC, and SEM. As a result, the allyl substituted complex show the highest activity to prepare the highest molecular weight polyethylene of all the catalysts. An interesting feature of the UHMWPE produced by these four catalysts is that they contain only a few short‐chain branches (mainly methyl, isobutyl and 2‐methylhexyl branches) in a low amount (<2.7 branches/1000 C). © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of end-functionalized polystyrenes with organosilicon end-capping reagents via living cationic polymerization

The end-functionalization of living polymers with bases (methanol, benzylamine, diethyl sodiomalonate, and sodium methoxide) and organosilicon compounds [X ? Si(CH₃)₃;X ? : CH₂?C(CH₃)COO? , CH₃COO? , CH₂?CHCH₂? , C₆H₅? ] was investigated in the living cationic polymerization of styrene initiated with the 1-phenylethyl chloride/SnCl₄/nBu₄NCl system in CH₂Cl₂ at ?15°C. The four bases and C₆H₅SiMe₃, independent of their structures, were apparently incapable of reacting with the living end and invariably led to polystyrenes with the ω-end chlorine [～ ～ ～ CH₂CH(Ph)Cl] originated from the initiating system. The number-average end-functionality (F?_n) of the chloride, determined by ¹H-NMR, was close to unity (F?_n > 0.9). The presence of chlorine in the polymer was also confirmed by elemental analysis. In contrast, the quenching by the trimethylsilyl compounds with X = methacryloxy, acetoxy, and allyl gave ω-end-functionalized polystyrenes with the corresponding terminal groups (X) for which the F?_n values were close to unity (F?_n > 0.9). The effects of the structure of silyl compounds on end-capping are also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Phosphor–Kohlenstoff–Halogen-Verbindungen. XXV [1]. α-Trimethylsilyl-substituierte Methylphosphane: Darstellung und CCl4-Oxydation zu P-Chlor-methylenphosphoranen

Zwei Verfahren zur Darstellung α-trimethylsubstituierter Methylphosphane von genereller Anwendungsbreite werden vorgestellt. Phenylierte Vertreter PhPR? CH₂?

Diorganylamino-funktionelle Derivate 5a—e und 6 sind vorteilhaft über eine Primäraktivierung (Grignardierung oder Lithiierung) der Silylmethan-Komponenten zu erhalten. Die oxidative Ylidierung mit CCl₄ ergibt nach Gl. (7) in allen Fällen P-Chlor-methylphosphorane. Außer durch Elementaranalyse wird die Konstitution sämtlicher Verbindungen durch die ³¹P{¹H}- und komplementären ¹³C{¹H}-Daten gesichert. Phosphorus-Carbon-Halogen Compounds. XXV. α-Trimethylsilyl-substituted Methylphosphanes: Synthesis and CCl₄? Oxidation to P-Chlor-methylene-phosphoranes Two procedures of general applicability for the synthesis of αxyltrimethylsilyl-substituted methylphosphanes are reported. Phenylated species PhPR? CH₂? Tms ( 2a—e ) can be obtained by Na cleavage in NH₃ and subsequent condensation with Cl? CH₂? Tms. Metallation with n-BuLi and treatment with TmsCl causes two-fold silylation in α-position ( 3a—d, f ). Diorganylamino-functionalized derivatives 5a—e and 6 are preferrably prepared by initial activation (grignardation or lithiation) of the silylmethane component. Oxidative ylidation with CCl₄ yields in all cases P-chloro-methylenephosphoranes according to eq. (7). The constitution of all compounds has been confirmed by ³¹P{¹H} and complementary ¹³C{¹H} data in addition to elemental analyses.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. XXXIX. Teilchlorierte Carbosilane

1. Photochlorination in CCl₄ of the Si-chlorinated carbosilanes (Cl₃Si? CH₂)₂SiCl₂ and (Cl₂Si? CH₂)₃ leads to totally chlorinated compounds, e. g. (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂SiCl₂. After chlorination has started at one CH₂ group, formation of a CCl₂ group is preferred before another CH₂ group is involved into the reaction. Thus preparation of compounds a, b, c is possible. Cl₃Si? CCl₂? SiCl₂? CH₂? SiCl₃ (a) for (b) and (c) (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). SO₂Cl₂ (benzoyl peroxide) as chlorinating agent reacts more slowly, and opens an access to carbosilanes containing CHCl groups such as (d), Cl₃Si-CHCl? SiCl₂? CH₂? SiCl₃ (e). Reactions of compounds (a) to (d) with LiAlH₄ yields carbosilanes with SiH groups, and partially chlorinated C atoms. 2. By the high reactivity of Si? CCl₂? Si groups an exchange of Cl atoms of CCl groups in perchlorinated carbosilanes is possible for H atoms of Si? H groups in perhydrogenated carbosilanes, thus allowing the preparation of compounds containing CHCl and SiHCl groups, e. g. according to Gl.(1) (Inhaltsübersicht). Further reactions, formulated as the last equations in Inhaltsübersicht, are reported as well as the rearrangement of H₃Si? CHCl? SiH₃.     

Structure and formation of gaseous [C4H6O]+˙ ions: 1—The enolic ions [CH2C(OH)?CHCH2]+˙ and [CH2CH?CHCH(OH)]+˙ and their relationship with their keto counterparts

The [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion of structure [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ (a) is generated by loss of C₄H₈ from ionized 6,6-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol. The heat of formation ΔH_f of [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ was estimated to be 736 kJ mol^?1. The isomeric ion [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ (b) was shown to have ΔH_f, ? 761 kJ mol^?1, 54 kJ mol^?1 less than that of its keto analogue [CH₃COCH?CH₂]^+˙. Ion [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ may be generated by loss of C₂H₄ from ionized hex-1-en-3-one or by loss of C₄H₈ from ionized 4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol. The [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion generated by loss of C₂H₄ from ionized 2-cyclohexen-1-ol was shown to consist of a mixture of the above enol ions by comparing the metastable ion and collisional activation mass spectra of [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ and [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ ions with that of the above daughter ion. It is further concluded that prior to their major fragmentations by loss of CH₃˙ and CO, [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]⁺˙ and [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ do not rearrange to their keto counterparts. The metastable ion and collisional activation characteristics of the isomeric allenic [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion [CH₂?C?CHCH₂OH]^+˙ are also reported.     

Alkali‐Metal Trichloroacetates for Dichloromethylenation of Fullerenes: Nucleophilic Addition‐Substitution Route

The first experimental evidence that fullerenes react with alkali‐metal trichloroacetates through a nucleophilic addition‐substitution route, yielding dichloromethylenefullerenes as the final products, is reported. The intermediates, C₆₀(CCl₃)^? and C₇₀(CCl₃)^? anions, have been isolated in their protonated forms as ortho‐C₆₀(CCl₃)H, as well as three ortho and one para isomer of C₇₀(CCl₃)H. The structures were unambiguously determined by means of ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹H–¹³C HMBC NMR spectroscopy along with UV/Vis spectroscopy. The observed regiochemistry was analyzed with the aid of quantum chemical calculations. Conversion of the protonated compounds into the [6,6]‐closed C_60/70(CCl₂) cycloadducts under basic conditions can be effected only for the ortho isomers, whereas para‐C₇₀(CCl₃)H decomposes back into pristine C₇₀.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of New Functionalized Perfluoroalkylfluorophosphates

A new efficient synthesis of functionalized perfluoroalkyl fluorophosphates by oxidative addition of Me₂NCH₂F to the electron‐deficient phosphanes (C₂F₅)_nPF_3?n (n=0–3) is reported. The initially formed zwitterionic, hexacoordinated phosphates [(C₂F₅)_nF_5?nP(CH₂NMe₂?CH₂NMe₂)] are converted into the corresponding phosphonium salts [(Me₃PCH₂NMe₂]⁺[(C₂F₅)_nF_5?nP(CH₂NMe₂)]^? by treatment with PMe₃. In addition [(C₂F₅)₃F₂P(CH₂NMe₂?CH₂NMe₂)] can undergo a 1,3‐methyl shift from the internal to the terminal nitrogen—a structural characterization was achieved from the CF₃ analogue. Reaction of [(C₂F₅)₃F₂P(CH₂NMe?CH₂NMe₃)] and PMe₃ gave rise to the formation of the zwitterionic phosphonium phosphate [(C₂F₅)₃F₂P(CH₂NMe?CH₂PMe₃)], which was fully characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, an efficient one‐pot synthesis of Cs⁺[(C₂F₅)₃F₂P(CH₂NMe₂)]^? was pursued. This salt turned out to be a useful nucleophile in several alkylation reactions.

EHT Model Studies on Coordination-Sphere Effects in the Elementary steps of d0 transition-metal-catalyzed Ziegler-Natta polymerization

In a theoretical investigation on Ziegler-Natta catalysis, the influence of the coordination number and ligand type of model compounds in relevant reaction steps were studied. Thus, by using the MEHT method, insertion reactions of ethylene into Zr–CH₃ and Zr–H bonds were analyzed in systems of the type [Zr(C₂H₄)R₄R′]^?[Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₂R′], and [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₃R′]^?(R=R′=CH₃, R=CH₃, R′=H). It was found that all processes do not have significant kinetic barriers, whereas the reverse reactions in particular the β-hydride elimination have relatively high ones. The influence of coordination geometry and number on these transformations was found to be insignificant. While studying related conversions starting from [Zr(L)(C₂H₄)R₃R′], [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)RR′(L)]⁺, and [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₂R′(L)] (L = π-donor, R=R′=CH₃ or R=CH₃, R′=H) compounds a pronounced π-donor effect was observed. Methyl insertions in these cases showed a higher computed activation barrier than hydride migrations. An orbital basis for this phenomenon was provided and conclusions concerning chain-length control in Ziegler-Natta catalysis were drawn.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. XXXVIII. Umsetzung perchlorierter Carbosilane mit LiAlH4

By LiAlH₄ (Cl₃Si)₂CH₂, (Cl₂Si? CH₂)₂SiCl₂ are reduced to (H₃Si)₂CH₂ (a), (H₃Si? CH₂)₂SiH₂ (b) and (H₂Si? CH₂)₃(c). However with the compounds (Cl₃Si)₂CCl₂, (Cl₃Si? CCl₂0₂SiCl₂ and (Cl₂Si? CCl₂)₃ cleavages of the Si? C-bond and reduction of the CCl-groups occur apart from the normal reduction of the Si-Cl-groups to (H₃Si)₂CCl₂ (d), (H₃SiCCl₂)₂SiH₂ (e) and (H₂Si? CCl₂)₃. Excess LiAlH₄ favours this cleavage, the exact amount of a quarter of a mole LiAlH₄ per SiCl-group allows the formation of (d), (e), (f). The cleavage of (e) is in accordance with: (1), (2),(3). Therefore SiH₃₄ and (H₃Si)₂CCl₂ are the main-reaction-products and CH₃SiH₃ is formed acc. to equ. (3). Because of the cleavage of (H₂Si? CCl₂)₃ with LiAlH₄ H₃Si? CCl₂? SiH₂? CH₃and H₃Si? CH₂? SiH₂? CH₂? SiH₂? CH₃ are preferentially formed after the hydrolysis. The CH₂-containing compounds (a), (b), (c) cannot be cleaved in an analogous reaction.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Diphenyltin(IV) Dicarboxylates Containing Germanium

Twelve new germanium substituted diphenyltin dipropionates with the general formula (R¹GeCHR²‐CHR³COO)₂SnPh₂ where R¹ = N(CH₂CH₂O)₃, (C₆H₅)₃ and (CH₃C₆H₄)₃, R² = H, CH₃, C₆H₅, p‐CH₃C₆H₄, p‐CH₃OC₆H₄, p‐ClC₆H₄, and R³ = H, CH₃ have been synthesized by the reaction of diphenyltin oxide with a germanium substituted propionic acid. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, multi‐nuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopies as well as mass spectrometry. The in vitro antibacterial activity of selected compounds is also reported.     

Kinetics and mechanism for the oxidation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane

The reaction mechanisms for oxidation of CH₃CCl₂ and CCl₃CH₂ radicals, formed in the atmospheric degradation of CH₃CCl₃ have been elucidated. The primary oxidation products from these radicals are CH₃CClO and CCl₃CHO, respectively. Absolute rate constants for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with CH₃CCl₃ have been measured in 1 atm of Argon at 359, 376, and 402 K using pulse radiolysis combined with UV kinetic spectroscopy giving ??(OH + CH₃CCl₃) = (5.4 ± 3) 10^?12 exp(?3570 ± 890/RT) cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. A value of this rate constant of 1.3 × 10^?14 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at 298 K was calculated using this Arrhenius expression. A relative rate technique was utilized to provide rate data for the OH + CH₃ CCl₃ reaction as well as the reaction of OH with the primary oxidation products. Values of the relative rate constants at 298 K are: ??(OH + CH₃CCl₃) = (1.09 ± 0.35) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CH₃CClO) = (0.91 ± 0.32) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CCl₃CHO) = (178 ± 31) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CCl₂O) < 0.1 × 10^?14; all in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The effect of chlorine substitution on the reactivity of organic compounds towards OH radicals is discussed.
