Acrylates metalation

Chemical antigens known to stimulate immune responses in humans include formaldehyde, Isocyanates, acrylates, metals, sulfites, and anhydrides. Table 4.7 lists a number of these compounds.

The addition of alcohols to form the 3-alkoxypropionates is readily carried out with strongly basic catalyst (25). If the alcohol groups are different, ester interchange gives a mixture of products. Anionic polymerization to oligomeric acrylate esters can be obtained with appropriate control of reaction conditions. The 3-aIkoxypropionates can be cleaved in the presence of acid catalysts to generate acrylates (26). Development of transition-metal catalysts for carbonylation of olefins provides routes to both 3-aIkoxypropionates and 3-acryl-oxypropionates (27,28). Hence these are potential intermediates to acrylates from ethylene and carbon monoxide. 

A brief review has appeared covering the use of metal-free initiators in living anionic polymerizations of acrylates and a comparison with Du Font s group-transfer polymerization method (149). Tetrabutylammonium thiolates mn room temperature polymerizations to quantitative conversions yielding polymers of narrow molecular weight distributions in dipolar aprotic solvents. Block copolymers are accessible through sequential monomer additions (149—151) and interfacial polymerizations (152,153). 

The other important direct alkylation processes involve reaction of electron-rich olefinic compounds with either tin metal or stannous chloride (tin(II) chloride) in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen chloride (22). Butyl acrylate (R = C Hg) was used commercially in this process to prepare the estertin or P-carboalkoxyethyltin chlorides as iHustrated in the foUowing. 

Enolate Initiators. In principle, ester enolate anions should represent the ideal initiators for anionic polymeri2ation of alkyl methacrylates. Although general procedures have been developed for the preparation of a variety of alkaU metal enolate salts, many of these compounds are unstable except at low temperatures (67,102,103). Usehil initiating systems for acrylate polymeri2ation have been prepared from complexes of ester enolates with alkak metal alkoxides (104,105). 

The range of uses of mercuric iodide has increased because of its abiUty to detect nuclear particles. Various metals such as Pd, Cu, Al, Tri, Sn, Ag, and Ta affect the photoluminescence of Hgl2, which is of importance in the preparation of high quaUty photodetectors (qv). Hgl2 has also been mentioned as a catalyst in group transfer polymerization of methacrylates or acrylates (8). 

Copolymers with acrylonitrile, butadiene, isoprene, acrylates, piperjiene, styrene, and polyethylene have been studied. The high cost of sorbic acid as a monomer has prevented large-scale uses. The abiUty of sorbic acid to polymerize, particularly on metallic surfaces, has been used to explain its corrosion inhibition for steel, iron, and nickel (14). 

Titanium—Vanadium Mixed Metal Alkoxides. Titanium—vanadium mixed metal alkoxides, VO(OTi(OR)2)2, are prepared by reaction of titanates, eg, TYZOR TBT, with vanadium acetate ia a high boiling hydrocarbon solvent. The by-product butyl acetate is distilled off to yield a product useful as a catalyst for polymeri2iag olefins, dienes, styrenics, vinyl chloride, acrylate esters, and epoxides (159,160). 

Film and foil adhesives based on internally plastici2ed copolymer adhesives have been suggested. For instance, vinyl acetate—ethylene or vinyl acetate—acrylate copolymers may be used for adhesion of films to porous surfaces. For metallic foil adhesion, copolymers containing carboxylate functionahty are suggested.
