Sinthese de copolymeres sequences de l'acetate de vinyle et de l'acrylate d'ethyle par telomerisation

A new two-step procedure for the synthesis of ethyl acrylate - vinyl acetate block copolymers is described : the first stage is the telomerisation of ethyl acrylate with carbon tetrachloride by redox catalysis, the second being another telomerisation of vinyl acetate, using the trichloromethyl end group of the first block as the telogen agent, with peroxydic initiation.     

Etude du mecanisme de la cyclotrimerisation catalytique de l'hexyne-3 par l'intermediaire d'un complexe cyclobutadienique du nickel

The reduction of nickel halide by metals in low oxidation states, in a boiling solution of 3-hexyne in tetrahydrofuran leads to catalytic and quantitative cyclotrimerisation of the unsaturated compound. During the reaction, tetraethylcyclobutadienenickel(II) dibromide can be isolated in appreciable yield. A mechanism is proposed for the cyclotrimerisation.     

Alcoylation par l'iodure de butyle,de l'enolate de tetrabutylammonium de l'acetylacetone; nature de l'entite reagissante

The alkylation of tetrabutylammonium acetylacetonate with butyl iodide was studied in order to specify the nature of the reactive anionic species during the nucleophilic reaction of an ambident anion, under similar conditions to those of phase transfer catalysis. The C/O alkylation ratio changes with neither the solvents nor the enolate concentration; however k_obs, varies with the solvent but does not depend on the énolate concentration. The results and spectrophotometric UV data show that only one reactive species, the ion-pair, is involved.

A theoretical study of the cycloaddition of ozone on ethylene has been carried out by the LCAO-SCF-MO method. The potential energy hypersurface for the reaction has been investigated and the electronic and energetic properties of the transition state have been determined.     

Etude de l'hydrogenation de l'α-terpinene et du dihyro-2,3 anisole catalysee par le phenanthrene chrome tricarbonyle

The hydrogenation of α-terpinene and 2,3-dihydroanisole catalysed by phenanthrenechromium tricarbonyl in cyclohexane is described. The catalytic reaction is accelerated when small amounts of ketone are added to the solution. Attempts to induce asymmetric synthesis by adding (+)-3-menthylcyclohexanone or l-carvone to the reaction mixture are discussed. Isomerization of cis-Δ²-methene and α-phellandrene is also presented.

Etude cinetique de la polymerisation cationique du cyclopentadiene amorcee par l'hexachloroantimoniate de triphenylmethyle

A study of cyclopentadiene polymerization, initiated by φ₃C⁺SbCl₆^? in methylene chloride solution, has been carried out at temperatures between ?70 and +20° using a dilatometric method. An overall external second order with respect to monomer has been found. At very low temperature (?70°), the concentration of active centres remains low and roughly constant, in agreement with a quasi-stationary state assumption. Between ?50 and + 10°, experimental determination of (k_p. M^*), obtained from variation of v_p and [M] with time, shows that the concentration of centres goes through a maximum, sharper and more rapidly reached as the temperature is raised. Initiation is slower than propagation and active centres are rapidly destroyed when termination becomes faster than initiation. This explains the partial conversions and the observed maximum for concentration of active centres. Propagation and unimolecular termination rate constants have been determined at each temperature: activation energies are E_p = ?8 ± 0·5 kcal mole^?1 and E_p = ?0·3 ± 0·1 kcal mole^?1. These negative values can be explained by an exothermic process of solvation of active centres, leading to more reactive propagating species.     

Transposition des oxirannes-ethanols par l'intermediaire d'alcoxyetains. Influence de la configuration de l'oxiranne

The transposition of oxirane-ethanols, through alkoxytin compounds, into oxetane-2-methanols and/or oxolan-3-ols (tetrahydrofuran-3-ols) is dependent upon the oxirane configuration. Cis configuration is more suitable for the formation of the smallest ring. Steric hindrance is not sufficient enough to explain the results.     

Telomerisation par catalyse redox—II. Telomerisation du styrene,de l'acrylonitrile,et du monochlorotrifluoroethylene par des telogenes chlores

A study has been made, under conditions for telomerization catalysed by a redox system, of the reactivities of styrene, acrylonitrile and monochlorotrifluoroethylene with respect to some telogens viz various chloroethanes, methyl trichloroacetate, CCl₂F.CClF₂ and CClF₂.CClF1. Generally, the selected catalyst system led only to products of monoaddition; these products were isolated and identified.

Polymerisation cationique de l'indene amorcee par le tetrachlorure de titane-I Influence des impuretes du solvant,le chlorure de methylene,et effets cocatalytiques de l'eau et de l'acide chlorhydrique

The polymerization of the system indene-titanium tetrachloride-methylene chloride gave irreproducible kinetics which have been attributed to variable concentrations of impurities in the solvent. Incomplete yields sometimes observed at ?70° are also caused by impurities, but introduction of water and hydrochloric acid then gives complete yields. A new method of solvent purification has been used giving reproducible yields and rates. In such cases, monomer consumption at ?70° follows the rate law log [M]_o/[M] = kt.

Telomeres photoreticulables—1. Synthese de telomeres photoreticulables a partir du cinnamate et de l'acetate de vinyle

Photocrosslinkable telomers containing cinnamoyl groups can be prepared by two methods, viz, (i) direct telomerisation of vinyl cinnamate using either redox initiation (FeCl₃ benzoin-CuCl₂) or conventional radical initiation (benzoyl peroxide), and (ii) esterification of polyvinylalcohol telomers with cinnamoyl chloride. The former method gives products which are extensively cyclised, as indicated by i.r. and NMR spectra, whereas the latter method gives materials in which all the cinnamoyl groups are available for crosslinking.
