There are two types of styrene-butadiene copolymer a random copolymer and a block copolymer. Spectra for the block and random styrene-butadiene copolymers are provided in Reference Spectra 15 and 16, respectively. For a full characterization of SBR it is necessary to determine the composition in terms of the monomer ratios, including the three configurations of the butadiene addition reaction components, and to be able to differentiate random and block copolymerization. 

Phenyl-1,4-hcxadicnc (122) is obtained as a major product by the codimerization of butadiene and styrene in the presence of a Lewis acid[110]. Pd(0)-catalyzed addition reaction of butadiene and aiiene (1 2) proceeds at 120 C to give a 3 1 mixture of trans- and c -2-methyl-3-methylene-l,5.7-octatriene (123)[lll]. 

Like butadiene, allene undergoes dimerization and addition of nucleophiles to give 1-substituted 3-methyl-2-methylene-3-butenyl compounds. Dimerization-hydration of allene is catalyzed by Pd(0) in the presence of CO2 to give 3-methyl-2-methylene-3-buten-l-ol (1). An addition reaction with. MleOH proceeds without CO2 to give 2-methyl-4-methoxy-3-inethylene-1-butene (2)[1]. Similarly, piperidine reacts with allene to give the dimeric amine 3, and the reaction of malonate affords 4 in good yields. Pd(0) coordinated by maleic anhydride (MA) IS used as a catalyst[2]. 

Addition Reactions. 1,3-Butadiene reacts readily via 1,2- and 1,4-free radical or electrophilic addition reactions (31) to produce 1-butene or 2-butene substituted products, respectively. 

The manufacture of hexamethylenediamine [124-09-4] a key comonomer in nylon-6,6 production proceeds by a two-step HCN addition reaction to produce adiponittile [111-69-3] NCCH2CH2CH2CH2CN. The adiponittile is then hydrogenated to produce the desired diamine. The other half of nylon-6,6, adipic acid (qv), can also be produced from butadiene by means of either of two similar routes involving the addition of CO. Reaction between the diamine and adipic acid [124-04-5] produces nylon-6,6. 

Butadiene also undergoes a 1,4-addition reaction with SO2 to give sulfolene [77-79-2]. This reaction followed by hydrogenation is commercially used to manufacture sulfolane [126-33-0] (56). 

The chemical structure of SBR is given in Fig. 4. Because butadiene has two carbon-carbon double bonds, 1,2 and 1,4 addition reactions can be produced. The 1,2 addition provides a pendant vinyl group on the copolymer chain, leading to an increase in Tg. The 1,4 addition may occur in cis or trans. In free radical emulsion polymerization, the cis to trans ratio can be varied by changing the temperature (at low temperature, the trans form is favoured), and about 20% of the vinyl pendant group remains in both isomers. In solution polymerization the pendant vinyl group can be varied from 10 to 90% by choosing the adequate solvent and catalyst system. 

Soon after the discovery of the addition reaction between diene-ophiles and dienes which now bears their names, Diels and Alder extended their investigations to include potential heterocyclic dienes. In 1929 the first compound investigated, furan, was observed to combine with maleic anhydride, like butadiene in a typical Diels-Alder reaction, across the 2,5-positions yielding a 1 1 molar adduct... 

Conjugated dienes also undergo electrophilic addition reactions readily, but mixtures of products are invariably obtained. Addition of HBr to 1,3-butadiene, for instance, yields a mixture of two products (not counting cis-trans isomers). 3-Bromo-l-butene is the typical Markovnikov product of 1,2-addition to a double bond, but l-bromo-2-butene appears unusual. The double bond in this product has moved to a position between carbons 2 and 3, and HBr has added to carbons 1 and 4, a result described as 1,4-addition. 

Perhaps the most striking difference between conjugated and nonconjugated dienes is that conjugated dienes undergo an addition reaction with alkenes to yield substituted cyclohexene products. For example, 1,3-butadiene and 3-buten-2-one give 3-cycIohexenyl methyl ketone. 

In degree 2 only reactivity degrees are treated vis- i-vis exothermic polymerization in particular and addition reactions on the double bond (ethylene, butadiene, styrene, propylene), easy peroxidation (isopropyl oxide, acetaldehyde), hydrolysis (acetic anhydride). Possibly only propionitrile and substances with code 0 have an actual NFPA stability code. Every time one has to deal with the NFPA code one has to interpret it after carefully reading the paragraphs in Part Two. 

The addition of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to 17 gives only one structural isomer, 21. The pseudo-first order half-life of this Diels-Alder addition reaction is 47.5 minutes at 22.2°C in neat diene solution. The Ea of this reaction is estimated to be 9.2 kcal/mol. This reaction rate is 50 times faster than the rate of addition of this diene to methyl methacrylate (33). 

Butadiene shows 1,4-addition reactions with electrophilic reagents other than HC1.

Cyclic carbodisilanes undergo addition reactions with conjugated dienes with splitting of their Si—Si bond. l,l,2,2-Tetramethyl-l,2-disila-cyclopentane reacted with butadiene by the catalysis of PdCI2(PPhs)2 at 100°C to give l,l,5,5-tetramethyl-l,5-disilacyclotrideca-7,ll-diene (70) in... 

The rate equation for the dimerization of ethylene (5) can be used to describe the codimerization in the presence of large excesses of butadiene. The rate of the addition reaction as measured by the disappearance of ethylene is represented in Eq. (5). It is first order in ethylene, proton, chloride, and rhodium. 

The second pathway is represented by Eqs. (8)—(11). These reactions involve reduction of the Nin halide to a Ni° complex in a manner similar to the generation of Wilke s bare nickel (37, 38) which can form a C8 bis-77-alkyl nickel (17) in the presence of butadiene [Eq. (9)]. It is reasonable to assume that in the presence of excess alkyaluminum chloride, an exchange reaction [Eq. (10)] can take place between the Cl" on the aluminum and one of the chelating 7r-allyls to form a mono-77-allylic species 18. Complex 18 is functionally the same as 16 under the catalytic reaction condition and should be able to undergo additional reaction with a coordinated ethylene to begin a catalytic cycle similar to Scheme 4 of the Rh system. The result is the formation of a 1,4-diene derivative similar to 13 and the generation of a nickel hydride which then interacts with a butadiene to form the ever-important 7r-crotyl complex [Eq. (11)]. 

It should be noted here again that the catalytic reaction does not involve a change of valence of the metal. In general, catalytic olefin addition reactions that involve a hydride transfer do not require change of valence in the metal catalyst. On the other hand, carbon-carbon bond formation by coupling reactions which involve electron shifts, such as in Wilke s Ni°-catalyzed butadiene oligomerization reaction [Eq. (1)], requires a valence change on the metal. 

Reactions a and b in Scheme 8 represent different ways of coordination of butadiene on the nickel atom to form the transoid complex 27a or the cisoid complex 27b. The hydride addition reaction resulted in the formation of either the syn-7r-crotyl intermediate (28a), which eventually forms the trans isomer, or the anti-7r-crotyl intermediate (28b), which will lead to the formation of the cis isomer. Because 28a is thermodynamically more favorable than 28b according to Tolman (40) (equilibrium anti/syn ratio = 1 19), isomerization of the latter to the former can take place (reaction c). Thus, the trans/cis ratio of 1,4-hexadiene formed is determined by (i) the ratio of 28a to 28b and (ii) the extent of isomerization c before addition of ethylene to 28b, i.e., reaction d. The isomerization reaction can affect the trans/cis ratio only when the insertion reaction d is slower than the isomerization reaction c. 

The dependence of relative rates in radical addition reactions on the nucleophilicity of the attacking radical has also been demonstrated by Minisci and coworkers (Table 7)17. The evaluation of relative rate constants was in this case based on the product analysis in reactions, in which substituted alkyl radicals were first generated by oxidative decomposition of diacyl peroxides, then added to a mixture of two alkenes, one of them the diene. The final products were obtained by oxidation of the intermediate allyl radicals to cations which were trapped with methanol. The data for the acrylonitrile-butadiene... 

The reactions of butadiene were very similar to the reactions of butane and 1-butene with addition being the most common reaction. The [V204]+ ion was the only ion to induce fission of butadiene but this was a minor pathway compared with the addition reaction. Only [V307]+ was involved in a dehydration reaction with butadiene to give the [V306C2H3]+ ion.

Radiation-Induced Cross-Linking in the Presence of CTFE/Butadiene Mixture. On the basis of the results mentioned in the previous section, it is concluded that in the irradiation of polyethylenes in the presence of CTFE the polyethylenes are mainly cross-linked through the addition reaction of the unsaturated groups contained in the main and the side chains of the polymers to the propagating graft chain radical of CTFE. Therefore, the radiation-induced cross-linking of polyethylene is expected to be accelerated by the presence of the mixture of CTFE and a diene monomer effectively than the presence of pure CTFE. 

From these results, it is concluded that the acceleration of cross-linking of polyethylene by the presence of CTFE/butadiene mixture is due to the addition reaction (9) of the propagating... 

A completely different stereoselectivity, with respect to BrCl, has more recently been observed with tetrabutylammonium dichlorobromate as a bromochlorinating agent78. The reaction of this electrophile with 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, cis- and fraws-l,3-pentadienes and cyclopentadiene gives selectively, in good yields, the corresponding 1,2-bromochloro adducts. Moreover, the addition to the 3,4-bond of pentadienes and to cyclopentadiene proceeds with a complete anti stereoselectivity. In the case of the unsubstituted butadiene the reaction gives a mixture of Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov 1,2-adducts (equation 46). 

The addition of a hydrogen halide, such as HBr, is an important addition reaction for alkenes often seen in Organic Chemistry 1. However, conjugated dienes may behave differently. An example is the reaction of HBr with 1,3-butadiene as illustrated in Figure 4-11.
