Alkene polymerization 1104 INDEX

Polymeric alkene ozonides are shock-sensitive that of trans -2-butene exploded when exposed to friction in a ground glass joint. The use of GLC to analyse crude ozonisation products is questionable because of the heat-sensitivity of some constituents [4], Ozonides are decomposed, sometimes explosively, by finely divided palladium, platinum or silver, or by iron(II) salts [5]. Individually indexed compounds are ... 

Benzyloxy(cyano)carbene would be expected to be electrophilic by virtue of the calculated selectivity index, Wp -HjOccN 111- This has not yet been experimentally proved as 3-bcnzyloxy-3-cyano-3//-diazirine is rather labile and cannot be isolated if it is synthesized by the substitution of chlorine by a cyano group in 3-benzyloxy-3-chloro-3if-diazirine consequently, this substitution reaction is carried out in the presence of an alkene, hence, preparing 1-benzyloxy-cyclopropane-l-carbonitrile derivatives. However, the cyanide ion present in the system induces the polymerization of electrophilic alkenes, such as acrylonitrile or methyl acrylate.
