Polymerization behaviour of 2,5-dimethylene- 2,5-dihydrofuran

Spontaneous homopolymerization of 2,5-dimethylene-2,5-dihydrofuran (DDF) was studied. The polymerization rates in two different initial monomer concentrations of DDF were analyzed with the first-order and second-order kinetics, and the homopolymerization of DDF was found to obey the first-order kinetics. The Arrhenius plot of the apparent rate constants at 30, 40, 50, and 60° gave an overall activation energy of 68.0 kJ/mol for the polymerization of DDF. From the comparison of the apparent rate constants at –78° and the time (the so-called half-life time) to decrease in half the monomer concentration for DDF with the corresponding values for p-xylylene (QM), DDF was found to be a less reactive monomer than QM. The copolymerizations of DDF with vinyl monomers such as acrylonitrile (AN), α-chloroacrylonitrile (CIAN), diethyl fumarate (DEF), and fumaronitrile (FN) were carried out in chloroform at 50° in the presence of AIBN to obtain the monomer reactivity ratios r₁(DDF) = 30.0 ± 3.0 and r₂ (AN) = 0 for the DDF-AN system, r₁ (DDF) = 1.55 ± 0.2 and r₂(CIAN) = 0 for the DDF-CIAN system, r₁(DDF) = 3.88 ± 0.2 and r₂(DEF) = 0 for the DDF-DEF system, and r₁(DDF) = 2.41 ± 0.1 and r₂ (FN) = 0 for the DDF-FN system, respectively. As the monomer reactivity ratios of r₂ for all systems were zero, Q and e values of DDF were calculated from the combination of two r₁ (DDF) values of any two copolymerization systems to be the 7.64 to 6.63 ×10²¹ range for Q and the –0.70 to –6.31 range for e, indicating that DDF is a highly conjugative and electron-donating monomer. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and Chemistry of 2,5-Dimethylene-2,5-Dihydrofuran

2,5-Dimethylene-2,5-dihydrofuran (3), generated flash pyrolitically, underwent di- and trimerization reactions to give cyclic dimer and trimer. Compound 3 was trapped with methanol, ethanol, bromine, acetic acid, thiophenol and oxygen. Results from trapping experiments suggest that the diradical form of 3 is involved.

The title compound was prepared, characterized, and on thermal decomposition at 100°C in the presence of a chlorine atom trap was found to give acetone, 1,2-dichloroethane, and 4-chloro-2-methyl-2-butanol.     

2,5-Dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofurans in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions

Itis shown that 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofurans enter into 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with benzonitrile N-oxides and with diphenylnitrilimines to form derivatives of 1,3-dimethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,3a,6a-tetrahydrofuro[3,4-d]isoxazole and 1,3-dimethoxy-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,3a,-6a-tetrahydrofuro[3,4-d]pyrazole, respectively.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 150–151, February, 1971.     

Photochemical and chemical behaviour of 2,5-hydroperoxyhydroxy-2,5-dihydrofurans

From hydroxyhydroperoxides II and III a new bicyclic system, namely the 5,6-dioxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane VII is obtained by photolysis or by protic acids. Epimer epoxides IV and XI are obtained on reaction with triethylamine.     

Acid-mediated cycloalkylation of C-aminoazoles with 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol

Alkylation of 5-aminotetrazole with 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol in perchloric acid was found to proceed on an endocyclic nitrogen atom as well as on the amino group, giving 5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-tetrazolo[1,5-a][1,3]diazepine. Under analogous conditions, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole undergoes cycloalkylation of the neighboring N1 and N2 atoms of the heterocycle resulting in 1-amino-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,2-a]pyridazinium perchlorate. The crystal structures of the products were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.     

The Reaction of 2,5-Dimethoxy-2,5-Dihydrofuran with Dichloroketene

2,5-Dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran (DDF) reacts with dichloroketene to give 7,9-dimethoxy-3,3,5,5-tetrachloro-8-oxabicyclo[4,3,0]-noan-2,4-dione (I), and methyl chloro-(2,5-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-furanylidene) acetate (II). The reactions of 2,5-dihydrofuran and 2,5-dimethoxy-tetrahydrofuran with dichloroketene were also-studied for comparison. Compound II was derived from the insertion of a molecule of dichloroketene into the C-O bond of DDF with subsequent dehydrochlorination. Compound I resulted from the cycloaddition of two molecules of dichloroketene to the C=C bond of DDF. A mechanism involving a 1,5-dipolar intermediate is proposed to account for this novel reaction.

Spectroscopic characteristics of 3-7 are also measured.
