Carbonyl Compounds. Cychc ketals and acetals (dioxolanes) are produced from reaction of propylene oxide with ketones and aldehydes, respectively. Suitable catalysts iaclude stannic chloride, quaternary ammonium salts, glycol sulphites, and molybdenum acetyl acetonate or naphthenate (89—91). Lactones come from Ph4Sbl-cataly2ed reaction with ketenes (92). 

The intense reddish-brown color of the acetylacetone titanium complexes impart a yellow discoloration to white inks. This discoloration is accentuated when the inks are used to print substrates that contain phenol-based antioxidants. The phenoHc compounds react with the organic titanate to form a highly colored titanium phenolate. Replacement of 0.25 to 0.75 moles of acetylacetone with a malonic acid dialkyl ester, such as diethyl malonate, gives a titanium complex that maintains the performance advantages of the acetyl acetone titanium complexes, but which is only slightly yellow in color (505). These complexes still form highly colored titanium phenolates. 

Amorphous (most likely atactic) 3,4-polyisoprene of 94—100% 3,4-microstmcture was prepared with a (C2H 3A1—Ti(0—/ -C Hy) catalyst (11). Crystalline 3,4-polyisoprene containing about 70% 3,4-units and about 30% i7j -l,4-microstmcture was prepared using a catalyst derived from iron acetyl acetonate, trialkyl aluminum, and an amine in benzene (37). However, this polyisoprene contained gel and was obtained in poor yield. Essentially gel-free crystallizable 3,4-polyisoprene of 70—85% 3,4-microstmcture with the remainder being cis-1,4 microstmcture was prepared in conversions of greater than 95% with a water-modified tri alkyl aluminum, ferric acetyl acetonate, and 1,10-phenanthroline catalyst (38). The 3,4-polyisoprene is stereoregular and beheved to be syndiotactic or isotactic. 

Among numerous examples of the role of the chemical structure in tunneling rotation we select just one, connected with the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bond. In acetyl acetone in stable enol form... 

In addition to its water solubility poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) is soluble in a very wide range of materials, including aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons (methylene dichloride, chloroform), many monohydric and polyhdric alcohols (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol), some ketones (acetyl acetone) and lactones (a-butyrolactone), lower aliphatic acids (glacial acetic acid) and the nitro-paraffins. The polymer is also compatible with a wide range of other synthetic polymers, with gums and with plasticisers. 

Initiation of polymerisation is said to be effected by zinc diethyl-water and aluminium trialkyl-water-acetyl acetone systems to give the structures indicated in Figure 19.12.

One of the problems with cycloserine (57) as an antibacterial agent is its tendency to dimenze In an attempt to overcome this, the prodrug penti/idone (59) has been prepared The primary amino group essential for the dimenzation reacnon is reversibly blocked to prevent this Penti/idone is synthesized conveniently from cycloserine (57) by merely mixing it with acetyl acetone (58) and storing for two days to achieve the dehydration The resulting pentizidone apparently requires enzymic assistance to release cycloserine in vivo [20]... 

A number of metal chelates containing transition metals in their higher oxidation states are known to decompose by one electron transfer process to generate free radical species, which may initiate graft copolymerization reactions. Different transition metals, such as Zn, Fe, V, Co, Cr, Al, etc., have been used in the preparation of metal acetyl acetonates and other diketonates. Several studies demonstrated earlier that metal acetyl acetonates can be used as initiators for vinyl polymeriza-... 

Deoxygenation of the nitroarene in the presence of phenol or an enol (acetyl acetone) fails to yield the 3//-azepine. On the basis of these studies it is concluded that there is a correlation between azepine formation and the p/(a of the hydroxy compound and only those hydroxy compounds of pATa >12 yield 3//-azepines. The detrimental effect of acid conditions on 3H-azepine formation has been referred to earlier.214... 

With weak catalysts such as aluminium alkoxides with C0C13, cobalt acetyl acetonate, etc. polymerization was exceedingly slow. 

Coordination compounds containing bidentate ligands are often thermally more stable than those comprised of related monodentate ligands, e.g. ethylenediamine (en) complexes dissociate at a higher temperature than those of ammonia or pyridine. Compounds containing a ring structure, such as coordinated salicylaldehyde (sal) and acetyl-acetonate (acac), are particularly stable, and may often be sublimed... 

Metal acetylacetonates (M-ac.ac), also known as pentanedionates, are produced by reacting metals and acetyl acetone. They have the following chemical structure ... 

The acetylacetonates are stable in air and readily soluble in organic solvents. From this standpoint, they have the advantage over the alkyls and other alkoxides, which, with the exception of the iron alkoxides, are not as easily soluble. They can be readily synthesized in the laboratory. Many are used extensively as catalysts and are readily available. They are also used in CVD in the deposition of metals such as iridium, scandium and rhenium and of compounds, such as the yttrium-barium-copper oxide complexes, used as superconductors. 1 1 PI Commercially available acetyl-acetonates are shown in Table 4.2.
