A novel acrylate carrying a hindered phenol moiety as monomer and terminator in radical polymerization

Radical polymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene (St), and vinyl acetate (VAc) were carried out in the presence of a novel phenyl acrylate derivative bearing a hindered phenol moiety (HPA). It has been clarified that HPA acts as a retarder and inhibitor for the polymerizations of MMA and VAc, respectively, and that in the polymerization of St it behaves as a monomer to give a copolymer. These additive effects were interpreted in terms of intramolecular transfer of the phenolic hydrogen in competition with propagation of the HPA radical to monomers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chiral photochromic 2-(N-acyl-N-arylaminomethylene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones

Photochromic 2-(N-acyl-N-arylaminomethylene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones containing ortho-substituents in the N-phenyl ring were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. It was established that these compounds have stable chiral structures due to hindered rotation of the phenyl ring around the C—N bond. The energy barrier to racemization evaluated by dynamic NMR spectroscopy is G ^# _{428 K} = 98 kJ mol^–1.

Preparation of hindered piperidine and its copolymerization with propylene over a supported high activity ziegler–natta catalyst

A new polymerizable stabilizer 4-(hex-5-enyl)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine is prepared. This sterically hindered piperidine was copolymerized with propylene over a fourth generation TiCl₄/MgCl₂ Ziegler–Natta catalyst, using Al(C₂H₅)₃ as cocatalyst and diphenyldimethoxysilane, DMS, as external electron donor. The copolymer exhibited high thermo-oxidative stability even after exhaustive extraction with n-heptane.     

一些氮氧自由基和受阻胺化合物对单重态氧的猝灭能力及其与光稳定作用的关系

本工作测定了一系列稳定氟氧自由基( )化合物及一些受阻胺光稳定剂对单重态氧(¹O₂)的猝灭速率常数(k_q^1O₂),发现不同结构的 对¹O₂的猝灭能力很接近,但它们对聚丙烯(PP)膜的光稳定作用却相差很大。四甲基哌啶醇(TMP)及其衍生物对¹O₂的猝灭能力远不如相应的五甲基哌啶醇(PMP)及其衍生物,但前者对PP的光稳定能力却胜于后者。这说明在对聚合物的光稳定作用中, 和受阻胺光稳定剂对¹O₂的粹灭作用不占重要地位,也说明¹O₂在PP的光氧化过程中很可能不是主要因素。

Homolytic,Heterolytic, Mesolytic ‐ As You Like It: Steering the Cleavage of a HC(sp3)−C(sp3)H Bond in Bis(1H‐2,1‐benzazaborole) Derivatives

A set of (3,3′)‐bis(1‐Ph‐2‐R‐1H‐2,1‐benzazaborole) compounds, in which R=tBu (Bab‐tBu)₂ , R=Dipp (Bab‐Dipp)₂ or R=tBu and Dipp (Bab‐Dipp)(Bab‐tBu) , was synthesized and fully characterized using ¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy as well as single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The central HC(sp³)?C(sp³)H bond with restricted rotation at the junction of both 1H‐2,1‐benzazaborole rings displayed an intriguing reactivity. It was demonstrated that this bond is easily mesolytically cleaved using alkali metals to form the respective aromatic 1Ph‐2R‐1H‐2,1‐benzazaborolyl anions M⁺(THF) _n (Bab‐tBu)^? (M=Li, Na, K) and K⁺(THF) _n (Bab‐Dipp)^? . Furthermore, the central HC(sp³)?C(sp³)H bond of bis(1H‐2,1‐benzazaborole)s is also homolytically cleaved either by heating or photochemical means, giving corresponding 1Ph‐2R‐1H‐2,1‐benzazaborolyl radicals (Bab‐tBu)^. and (Bab‐Dipp)^., which rapidly self‐terminate. Nevertheless, their formation was unambiguously established by NMR analysis of the reaction mixtures containing products of the self‐termination of the radicals after heating or irradiation. (Bab‐Dipp)^. radical was also characterized using EPR spectroscopy. Importantly, it turned out that the essentially non‐polarized HC(sp³)?C(sp³)H bond in (Bab‐tBu)₂ is also cleaved heterolytically with 2 equiv of MeLi, giving the mixture of Li⁺(SOL) _n (Bab‐tBu)^? (SOL=THF or Et₂O) and lithium methyl‐substituted borate complex Li⁺(SOL) _n (Bab‐tBu‐Me)^? in a diastereoselective fashion.

Calculation of rotational partition functions by an efficient Monte Carlo importance sampling technique

The evaluation of the classical rotational partition function represented by a configuration integral over all external and internal rotational degrees of freedom of nonrigid chain polyatomic molecules is described. The method of Pitzer and Gwinn is used to correct the classical partition function for quantum mechanical effects at low temperatures. The internal rotor hindrance and all coupling arising from the external and internal rotational degrees of freedom are explicitly taken into account. Importance sampling Monte Carlo based on the adaptive VEGAS algorithm to perform multidimensional integration is implemented within the TINKER program package. A multidimensional potential energy hypersurface is calculated with the MM3(2000) molecular mechanics force field. Numerical tests are performed on a number of small n-alkanes (from ethane to octane), for which the absolute entropies calculated at three different temperatures are compared both with the experimental values and with the previous theoretical results. The application of a more efficient importance sampling technique developed here results in a substantial reduction of statistical errors in the evaluation of the configuration integral for a given number of Monte Carlo steps. Error estimates for the calculated entropies are given, and possible sources of systematic errors, and their importance for a reliable prediction of the absolute entropy, are discussed.
