Synthesis and polymerization studies of 1,2-dimethyleneoctafluorocyclohexane

1,2-Dimethyleneoctafluorocyclohexane has been prepared by the pyrolysis of 2-chloro-methyl-1-methyloctafluorocyclohexane. Free radicals initiate the polymerization of the diene in both bulk and emulsion systems to give a highly crystalline (mp 214–218°C) polymer that has an all-cis 1,4-structure. The polymer is insoluble in common laboratory solvents, but will dissolve in perfluorokerosene above 175°C and in 2,5-dichlorobenzo-trifluoride above 150°C. This diene is not polymerized by cationic, anionic, or Ziegler-Natta catalysts. The diene is readily copolymerized with many common monomers to give soluble, high molecular weight polymers. Relative reactivity ratios have been measured with styrene by the Fineman and Ross method and Q–e parameters for the diene have been calculated.     

Synthesis of 2-substituted 1,4-dioxanes from 1,2-epoxy-3-(2-chloroethoxy)propane

Synthesis and polymerization of methyl 3-methylenecyclobutene-1-carboxylate and dimethyl 3-methylenecyclobutene-1,2-dicarboxylate

The two title monomers were synthesized. In both cases the key cyclobutane intermediates were obtained by cycloaddition of allene to acrylonitrile or chloromaleic anhydride. These two new monomers proved to be highly reactive in free radical polymerization, and each polymerized spontaneously in air at room temperature. Linear polymers were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 35° with AIBN and UV light. At higher temperatures crosslinking became a problem in some instances. The structure of the polymers derived from 1,4 polymerization in the diene portion of the monomers was confirmed by ¹³C-NMR, ¹H-NMR and IR spectra. Copolymers were prepared with methyl methacrylate, styrene, and p-methoxystyrene and were always rich in the methylene-cyclobutene monomers used. Films of homopolymers and copolymers could be cast from chloroform solution.     

Polymerization of 1,2-epoxy-4-epoxyethylcyclohexane

Radiation-induced polymerization of 1,2-epoxy-4-epoxyethylcyclohexane (EECH) has been carried out at different temperatures in solid and liquid states. Activation energy was calculated from Arrhenius plot and ionic mechanism was proposed. Molecular weights for some polymer samples were determined by cryscopic method and compared with their intrinsic viscosities. Cationic polymerization of EECH initiated by BF₃ · O(C₂H₅)₂ and anionic polymerization initiated by NaOH are also studied. Two epoxy rings can be opened for polymerization selectively by radiation, but not by chemical initiators. The expected polyether structure was observed from the IR spectrum. Polymers obtained were shown to be amorphous from X-ray photographs.     

Synthesis of 1-phenylbut-3-ene-1,2-dione and its attempted radical polymerization

1,2-Diketone moiety-bearing monomer 1-phenylbut-3-ene-1,2-dione, an analogue of phenyl vinyl ketone, was synthesized from 4-chlorobutyryl chloride in a 29 % overall yield in five steps. Following acylation of benzene with 4-chlorobutyryl chloride, the resulting α-methylene group was oxidized to 1,2-diketone in three steps: successive bromination, substitution with lithium hydroxide, and oxidation of α-hydroxyketone with potassium dichromate. The final step was dehydrochlorination of 4-chloro-1-phenyl-butane-1,2-dione. The attempted copolymerization of this monomer with styrene, using AIBN as the initiator, was unsuccessful.

Synthesis, polymerization and conducting properties of an ionic liquid-type anionic monomer

The synthesis of a new ionic liquid-type monomer has been performed by association of a methacrylate polymerizable group, a polar tri(ethylene oxide) (TEO) spacer, a trifluoromethane sulfonic (TFSI⁻) anion and a free imidazolium (EMIm⁺) cation. The ionic liquid monomer (ILM) has demonstrated a good thermal stability and a high ionic conductivity around 2.1 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ at 20 °C. The corresponding homopolymer has shown an ionic conductivity closely related to the monomer (6.5 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 20 °C), which confirms the ILM as a valuable monomer for the formation of polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) materials.     

Synthesis of traditional and ionic polymethacrylates by anion catalyzed group transfer polymerization

The hydrophobic ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐1‐methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide was successfully used as solvent in group transfer polymerization of traditional methacrylates (methyl methacrylate, n‐butyl methacrylate, and benzyl methacrylate) and of ionic liquid methacrylates (ILMAs). This demonstrates that this ionic liquid makes reaction conditions, which do not require the use of ultra‐dried solvents. The ILMAs were N‐[2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]‐N,N‐dimethyl‐N‐alkylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imides bearing methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or hexyl substituents. Increasing size of the alkyl substituent at the cation results in decreasing glass transition temperature in case of both ionic liquid methacrylates and polymers derived of them. Furthermore, the glass transition temperature is significantly higher for these polymers compared with the ionic liquid methacrylates, and the effect of glass transition temperature reduction with increasing size of the alkyl substituent is stronger for the polymers. A mechanism was proposed explaining the catalytic function of the ionic liquid used as solvent for polymerization. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

A facile synthesis of trans-3,4-dihydroxy-anti-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene 1 ; a highly carcinogenic metabolite of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA) have been described.     

Synthesis and polymerization of some optically active 2- and 1,2-substituted butadienes

Dehydration of (S)-3,5-dimethyl-1-hepten-3-ol gave: (3E)- (I) and (3Z)-(5S)-3,5-dimethyl-1,3-heptadienes (II) and 2-[(S)- 2-methylbutyl]-1,3-butadiene (III). 2-[(S)-1-Methylpropyl]-1,3-butadiene (IV) was also prepared similarly by dehydration of (S)-3,4-dimethyl-1-hexene-3-ol. Monomers I–IV we polymerized in the presence of the TiCl₄–Al(i-C₄H₉)₃ catalyst system and in emulsion with K₂S₂O₈ as initiator. Monomer IV was also polymerized in the presence of butyllithium. Specific rotations of polymers are of the same order of magnitude as that of monomers, with exception of polymers prepared by stereospecific polymerization of (S)-I and (S)-II. The acetone-soluble fraction of these polymers has a molar rotation similar to that of monomer, while the acetone-insoluble part has a lower rotation ([M]_D of monomer +53.2°; [M]_D of polymer, +5.9°).     

Synthesis of 3-Acyl-1,2-benzisoxazoles

A convenient method for the synthesis of 3-acyl-1,2-benzisoxazoles, which are unstable toward bases, is described. Base-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkyl- and aryl-1,3-dithian-2-yl o-chlorophenylketoximes 4a-1 gave 3-(2-alkyl- and aryl-1,3-dithian-2-yl)-1,2-benzisoxazoles 8a-1 , which were converted into the corresponding 3-acyl-1,2-benzisoxazoles 1a-1.     

γ-Radiation-induced ionic polymerization of pure liquid styrene

Pure liquid styrene, carefully purified and exhaustively dried, exhibits kinetic behavior under γ-irradiation that can best be described in terms of an ionic mechanism. This is based on the observed linear dependence of the rate of polymerization on the dose rate, the independence of molecular weight on the same parameter, and comparison with the thermal and ultraviolet initiated polymerization of monomer prepared under the same stringent conditions. The highest rate of conversion to polymer is 400%/hr. at a dose rate of 10⁶ rads/hr., corresponding to a G_(-monomer) ≈ 40,000.     

Synthesis and reactions of 1,2-fused 3-cyanoindolizines

With the intention that annulation of carbo- or heteroaromatic rings at the 1,2-positions can activate 3-cyanoindolizines as 1,3-dipolar species, 6-cyanobenz[a]indolizines, pyridazino[4,5-a]indolizines and 5-cyano-1,3-diphenylthiopheno[3,4-a]indolizine were prepared. 6-Cyanobenz[a]indolizines smoothly -underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on to dibenzoylacetylene and diacetylacetylene to afford the corresponding indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles, whereas 5-cyano-1,4-diphenylpyridazino[4,5-a]indolizine reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give the 1:2 adduct. Only a 3% yield of 5-cyano-1,3-diphenylthiopheno[3,4-a]indolizine formed upon phosphorus pentasulfide treatment of 1,2-dibenzoyl-3-cyanoindolizine.
