Studies of higher temperature polymerization of n-butyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate

Free-radical acrylic polymerizations of n-butyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate at temperatures above 120°C show significant departure from classic free-radical kinetics. An extended model of depropagation, where the equilibrium monomer concentration varies with temperature and polymer content, is postulated and shown to adequately explain the data for n-butyl methacrylate. Intramolecular chain transfer and scission is postulated to explain the apparent reduction in molecular weight and rate of polymerization seen in n-butyl acrylate polymerization, with supporting experimental evidence found via electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry.     

Tetra(n-butyl)ammoniumphthalocyaninato(2–)lithat-Tetrahydrofuran und Bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium)phthalocyaninato(2–)lithatfluorid-Hydrat; Synthese und Kristallstruktur

Tetra(n-butyl)ammonium Phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate Tetrahydrofurane and Bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium) Phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate Fluoride Hydrate; Synthesis and Crystal Structure Dilithiumphthalocyaninate(2–) reacts with excess tetra(n-butyl)ammonium fluoride trihydrate to yield a mixture of blue tetra(n-butyl)ammonium phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate tetrahydrofurane and bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium) phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate fluoride hydrate. The latter crystallizes triclinic with crystal data: a = 8.6480(1) Å; b = 12.620(2) Å; c = 14.866(5) Å; α = 82.44(2)°; β = 87.01(2)°; γ = 75.02°; space group P1 ; Z = 1. Fluoride is not coordinated to lithium. On the contrary, a double-salt is formed, which consists of alternating layers of cations and anions. This arrangement opens a cavity in the centre of the unit cell which shares statistically a fluoride and a disordered fluoride hydrate. Pure tetra(n-butyl)ammonium phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate is obtained as a tetrahydrofurane solvate by the reaction of dilithiumphthalocyaninate(2–) with tetra(n-butyl)ammonium bromide in tetrahydrofurane. The solvate crystallizes monoclinic with crystal data: a = 12.455(5) Å; b = 23.396(5) Å; c = 16.120(5) Å; β = 94.986(5)°; space group P2/c1; Z = 4.     

粉状白钨酸的研究(Ⅴ)——12-钨磷酸的直接制备以及用正丁醚的提纯法

12-钨磷酸的应用,近年来发展迅速,有从实验室合成转为工业生产的趋势。本报告从E.Drechsel法的以钨酸钠和磷酸氢二钠为原料,改为以活性粉状白钨酸为原料,与磷酸直接反应,即成12-钨磷酸溶液。这样便可以免除Drechscl乙醚萃取法中大量盐酸的使用。在提纯时,把在Drechsel方法中所用的乙醚,改为沸点高的正丁醚,配合适当少量的盐酸,可以得到相应的(钅羊)盐油状物。并由于该(钅羊)盐安定度较差,用水反萃取即可使12-钨磷酸转入水溶液,经过浓缩即可得到12-钨磷酸晶体。回收的正丁醚,毋需蒸馏,可以反复使用。

Nitroxide-mediated miniemulsion polymerization of n-butyl acrylate: synthesis of controlled homopolymers and gradient copolymers with styrene

Controlled free-radical homopolymerization of n-butyl acrylate and its copolymerization with styrene have been studied in aqueous miniemulsion, using an acyclic β-phosphonylated nitroxide as a mediator, the N-tert-butyl-N-(1-diethylphosphono-2,2-dimethylpropyl) nitroxide, also called SG1. Polymerization kinetics have been studied and characterization of the (co)polymers has been performed, demonstrating the successful synthesis of well-defined poly(n-butyl acrylate) homopolymers and poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-styrene) gradient copolymers.     

Iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination of allylic esters

Iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination of allylic carbonates was studied. The solvent strongly affected the catalytic activity. The use of a polar solvent such as EtOH is essential for obtaining the products in high yield. The reaction of (E)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate and 1-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with pyrrolidine in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir(COD)Cl](2) and P(OPh)(3) (P/Ir = 2) gave a branch amine with up to 99% selectivity. Both secondary and primary amines could be used for this reaction. When a primary amine was used, selective monoallylation occurred. No diallylation product was obtained. The reaction of 1,1-disubstituted-2-propenyl acetate with amines exclusively gave an alpha,alpha-disubstituted allylic amine. This reaction provides an alternative route to the addition of an organometallic reagent to ketimines for the preparation of such amines. The reaction of (Z)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with amines gave (Z)-linear amines with up to 100% selectivity. In all cases, no (E)-linear amine was obtained. The selectivities described here have not been achieved in similar palladium complex-catalyzed reactions.

Indirect determination of cyanide in water by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry

An indirect method for determination of trace cyanide in water by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry is described. Cyanide forms a stable complex anion with Pd in alkaline solution. This complex anion can form an ion-association complex with tetra-alkylammonium ions which can be extracted into n-butyl alcohol with an efficiency higher than 90%. The extract can be analysed directly for palladium (and hence indirectly for cyanide) by flame atomic-absorption spectrophotometry. The detection limit for cyanide by this method is 0.1 mug ml in the n-butyl alcohol extract. Beer's law is obeyed for 0.13-9 mug of CN(-) per ml of n-butyl alcohol. Several foreign ions do not interfere.     

咪唑N-烷基化相转移催化反应动力学研究

本文报道在冠醚和季铵盐等相转移催化剂存在下咪唑N-正丁基化反应的动力学研究结果。在一定的催化剂浓度下,反应速度与烷基卤的浓度呈一级反应动力学关系,同时与催化剂浓度亦呈一级反应比例关系在60±0.05℃,以四丁基溴化铵为催化剂,咪唑N-正丁基化反应速率常数κ=(1.90±0.02)×10~(-2),活化能E_a=11.7±0.5 kcal/mol,此外还研究了不同类型冠醚和季铵盐对反应的影响。反应机理可设想为:在相转移催化反应条件下,由催化剂中的阳离子R_4N_ 和亲核试剂Im-形成的离子对转移到有机相中与烷基卤发生反应,因此反应速率对烷基卤浓度变化极为敏感,也与催化剂在两相间的分配系数α值有关。一般以α值为1左右的季铵盐的催化效果最好,这可能是选择有效相转移催化剂的一个标志。

Surface-modified hemispherical polystyrene/polybutyl methacrylate composite particles

Micrometer-sized polystyrene/poly(n-butyl methacrylate) composite particles of hemisphere morphology and narrow size distribution were prepared by a process of single-step swelling of uniform polystyrene template microspheres with emulsion droplets of the monomer n-butyl methacrylate containing the initiator benzoyl peroxide in the presence, or absence, of the co-swelling agent toluene. Butyl methacrylate was then polymerized at 73 degrees C within the template microspheres. Surface and bulk characterization of the particles were performed by methods such as FTIR, elemental analysis, XPS, advancing contact angle, light microscope, SEM, and cross-sectional TEM. Selective surface functionalization of the poly(n-butyl methacrylate) phase of the composite particles was performed by carrying out a similar swelling and polymerization process in the presence of a water-soluble vinylic monomer such as acrylamide.     

Ruthenium complex-catalyzed allylic alkylation of carbonucleophiles with allylic carbonates

Allylic carbonates except for allyl methyl carbonate reacted with carbonucleophiles such as ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of Ru(cod)(cot) [cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene, COT = cycloocta-1,3,5-triene] in N-methylpiperidine at 80°C to give the corresponding monoallylated carbonucleophiles in high yields with high regioselectivity. The regioselectivity was quite different from that in the palladium-catalyzed reactions. The allylation of carbonucleophiles using allyl methyl carbonate selectively gave the diallylated carbonucleophiles in high yields.

Lead selective lipophilic acyclic diionizable polyethers

A structural series of acyclic polyether dicarboxylic acids with n-butyl and n-tetradecyl alkyl side chains at the alpha-position of the carboxylic acid units, as well as varying lengths of the ethylene glycol ether linkage connecting two benzo units were prepared. In terms of stability constants, competitive solvent extraction and cation transport experiment by bulk liquid membrane toward transition metal ions, ligand 3 with a monoethylene glycol unit and n-butyl side chains provide the best selectivity for the lead ion.     

Asymmetric allylic alkylation of acyclic allylic ethers with organolithium reagents

A highly efficient, regio- and enantioselective Cu(I) /phosphoramidite-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of allyl ethers with organolithium reagents is reported. The use of organolithium reagents is essential for this catalytic C?C bond formation due to their compatibility with different Lewis acids. The versatility of allylic ethers under the copper-catalyzed reaction conditions with organolithium reagents is demonstrated in the shortest synthesis of (S)-Arundic acid.     

Iridium-catalyzed allylic vinylation and asymmetric allylic amination reactions with o-aminostyrenes

An Ir-catalyzed allylic vinylation reaction of allyl carbonates with o-aminostyrene derivatives has been realized, providing skipped (Z,E)-diene derivatives. With (E)-but-2-ene-1,4-diyl dimethyl dicarbonate as the substrate, an efficient enantioselective synthesis of 1-benzazepine derivatives via an Ir-catalyzed domino allylic vinylation/intramolecular allylic amination reaction has been developed. Mechanistic studies of the allylic vinylation reaction have been carried out, and the results suggest that the leaving group of the allylic precursor plays a key role in directing the reaction pathway. Screening of various allylic precursors showed that Ir-catalyzed reactions of allyl diethyl phosphates with o-aminostyrene derivatives proceed via an allylic amination pathway. A subsequent ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of the amination products led to a series of enantiomerically enriched 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives. Their utility is indicated by an asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-angustureine.     

A survey of nonaqueous conditions for the anodic oxidation of N-butyl alcohol

A survey of nonaqueous conditions for the oxidation of n-butyl alcohol is reported. Oxidation may be effected in the neat alcohol or in moderately dilute solution in acetonitrile. High current yields of butyraldehyde are obtained in the neat alcohol, but in dilute solution n-butyl butyrate is the major product. Lithium fluoborate is superior to lithium nitrate or perchlorate as the supporting electrolyte.
