Copolymers from α-Pinene. 2. Cationic Copolymerization of Styrene and α-Pinene

A study of the copolymerization of α-pinene and styrene has been carried out at 10°C using anhydrous AlCl₃ as the initiator. It is found that styrene forms copolymer with α-pinene at all mono-meric ratios. A copolymer of 2320–3080 molecular weight is obtained. The softening range of the copolymer is 82 to 85°C. The copolymers are of commercial value.     

Infrared spectroscopy and modeling of co-crystalline CO2·C2H2 aerosol particles. I. The formation and decomposition of co-crystalline CO2·C2H2 aerosol particles

Aerosol particles composed of co-crystalline CO(2)·C(2)H(2) were generated in a bath gas cooling cell at cryogenic temperatures and investigated with infrared spectroscopy between 600 and 4000 cm(-1). Similar to results obtained for thin films of the co-crystal [T. E. Gough and T. E. Rowat, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 6809 (1998)], this phase was found to be metastable and decomposed into pure CO(2) and pure C(2)H(2). These decomposed aerosols were characterized through (i) a comparison to experimentally prepared aerosols of mixed CO(2) and C(2)H(2) of known architectures and (ii) the modeling of infrared spectra. A likely architecture after decomposition are C(2)H(2)-CO(2) core-shell particles with a disk-like shape. The co-crystalline CO(2)·C(2)H(2) aerosols prior to decomposition are modeled and analyzed in detail in the subsequent paper (Part II).     

Infrared spectroscopy and modeling of co-crystalline CO2·C2H2 aerosol particles. II. The structure and shape of co-crystalline CO2·C2H2 aerosol particles

Infrared absorption spectra of co-crystalline CO(2)·C(2)H(2) aerosol particles were modeled using a combination of two methods. Density functional theory was used to model several bulk CO(2)·C(2)H(2) co-crystal structures and to calculate their lattice energies and frequency-dependent dielectric tensors. This was necessary as there currently exists no crystallographic or refractive index data on co-crystalline CO(2)·C(2)H(2)due to its metastability. The discrete dipole approximation was then used to calculate infrared absorption spectra of different model particles using the dielectric tensors calculated using density functional theory. Results from these simulations were compared to the experimental spectrum of co-crystalline CO(2)·C(2)H(2) aerosol particles. The aerosol particles after the decomposition of the co-crystalline phase were studied in Part I.     

Living Cationic Polymerization of α-Methylstyrene. 2. Synthesis of Block and Random Copolymers with 2-Chloroethyl Vinyl Ether and End-Functionauzed Polymers†

Abstract

Both AB and BA block copolymers of α-methylstyrene (αMeSt) and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE) were synthesized by the sequential living cationic polymerization initiated with the HCl-CEVE adduct (1a)/SnBr₄ system in CH₂Cl₂ at -78°C. αMeSt-CEVE (AB) block copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions ([Mbar]_w/[Mbar]_n ～ 1.15) were obtained when αMeSt was polymerized first, followed by addition of CEVE to the resulting αMeSt living polymer solution. The reverse order of monomer addition, from CEVE to αMeSt, also led to a BA-type block copolymer. In the polymerization of a mixture of the two monomers, almost random copolymers were obtained. Living polymerizations of αMeSt were also induced with functional initiating systems, HCl-functionalized vinyl ether adducts (1b-1d)/SnBr₄, to give end-function-alized poly(αMeSt)s with a methacrylate, an acetate, or a phthalimide terminal.     

Two-fragment α-adrenolytics. 4. Synthesis of phosphorylated derivatives of 2-aryloxyethylamines and N-phenylpiperazine

The reactions of 3-chloropropylphosphonates, 3-chloropropylthiophosphonates, or 3-chloropropylphosphinates with 2-aryloxyethylamines or N-phenylpiperazine afford the corresponding 3-(2-aryloxyethylamino)propylphosphonates and -phosphinates or 3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propylphosphonates and -phosphinates. The compounds obtained exhibit -adrenolytic and hypotensive activities, the latter being found to depend on the substituents at the P atom.     

Synthesis and properties of thiazole halohydrazones. 2. Interaction of 2-α-chlorobenzylidenehydrazino-4-ethoxy-carbonylthiazole with nucleophiles

In the interaction of 2--clzlorobenzylidenehydrazino-4-ethoxycarbonylthiazole with nucleophiles, two competing reactions take place. 1) nucleophilic replacement of the chlorine atom to form the corresponding substitution product; 2) elimination of a hydrogen chloride molecule, concluding in cyclization of the intermediate nitrilimine to form 3 phenyl-5-ethoxycarbonylthiazolo(2, 3-c]-1, 2, 4-triazole. The direction taken by the interaction depends on the nature of the nucleophile and is determined primarily by the ratio of basicity and nucleophilicity of the agent.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, 256–259, February, 1994.

Mechanism and Modeling of Emulsion Polymerization: New Ideas and Concepts – 2. Modeling Strategies

Summary: Molecular modeling strategies offer new insights into the mechanism of heterophase polymerization. The capabilities of Brownian dynamic simulations are illustrated by means of studies regarding radical entry and exist as essential steps in emulsion polymerization. Interestingly, the results allow certain generalizations which were not possible with macroscopic deterministic modeling strategies.     

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of 2-pyrrolidinones. 7. ΔE T N for binary solvent mixtures of 2-pyrrolidinone andN-methylbenzenesulfonamide at 30 and 50°C

ΔE _T ^N values for 2-pyrrolidinone and N-methylbenzenesulfonamide solvent systems, in which the solvents were benzyl alcohol, 1,4-dioxane and hexamethylphosphoric triamide, were determined over the whole mole fraction range. The study was carried out at 30 and 50°C. The ΔE _T ^N values were positive for all of these systems, with the exception of the 2-pyrrolidinone-hexamethylphosphoric triamide system, which was slightly negative. The results are discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions and preferential solvation.

Biodegradable and biocompatible inorganic–organic hybrid materials. I. Synthesis and characterization

The hydroxyl or vinyl end-groups of linear or three-arm star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) chains have been derivatized into triethoxysilane groups reactive in the sol-gel process. New transparent hybrid materials that combine tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and PCL known for biodegradability and biocompatibility have accordingly been prepared. The sol-gel process is, however, limited by the early vitrification of the reactive system. However, thermal posttreatment can overcome these diffusional and/or kinetic limitations as assessed by a set of analytical methods. The thermal stability of PCL is improved by incorporation into the silica network. Conversely, the thermal stability of the ceramer depends on the effective PCL content. The extent of PCL incorporation into the silica network depends on PCL molecular weight, number, and reactivity of the PCL functional groups. IR spectroscopy has shown that hydrogen bonding occurs between the ester groups of PCL and residual OH groups of the silicate component. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Aminoamidines. 5. Synthesis and acetylation of N,N1,N2-triaryl-substituted β-aminoamidines

Triaryl-substituted -aminoamidines were obtained by the reaction of ,-unsaturated N-arylimidoyl chlorides with arylamines. Acylation of the products gave the products from monosubstitution at the -amino group. Triaryl-substituted -aminoamidines react with phosgene and with oxalyl chloride to form 4-aryliminoperhydropyrimidin-2-ones and 5-aryliminoperhydro-1,4-diazepine-2,3-diones, respectively.For previous communication, see [1].A.
