3-Carboxy-4-hydroxy-4 -

The carboxy-hydroxy reaction (direct esterification) is the most straightforward method of polyester synthesis. It was first reported in the 1930s by Carothers10 12 and is still a very widely used method for the synthesis of polyesters from diacids and diols (Scheme 2.12) or from hydroxy acids (Scheme 2.13).

Ultraviolet spectra of numerous pyrazines have been recorded, but in many cases without regard to the effects of ionization, and in various solvents. All pyrazines are basic and thus have both neutral (e.g., 5) and cationic (e.g., 6) forms. Pyrazines with a substituent containing an ionizable hydrogen, such as a carboxy, hydroxy, or mercapto group, may also exist in the anionic form (e.g., 7), the tautomeric neutral form (e.g., 2, R = H), a potentially zwitterionic form (8, R = H) or an isomeric cationic form (e.g., 9, R = H). Many published spectra are in fact of mixed ionic species to determine the spectrum of each ionic form it is necessary to measure its spectrum in a solution buffered at least two units above or below the pAa value (or values) of the substance. In nonaqueous solvents, the neutral (uncharged) species are favored. The ultraviolet spectra of pure species may then serve to characterize the pyrazine, may permit the correlation of spectra with structure, and may be used in quantitative determinations. 

Simple azo-compounds (AIBN or AIBMe) have also been used to produce telechelic polymers. The nitrile and ester functions can be elaborated to reactive carboxy, hydroxy or amino groups and used in polyester or polyurethane formation (e.g. Scheme 7.15). Functionalities (number of end groups/molecule) of... 

Electron-withdrawing functional groups, such as carbonyl, carboxy, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, and olefinic groups, direct the carbonyl group into the P-position (Eq. (9.4)). 

The latexes themselves are basically semi-I IPNs or IPNs, prepared in a two-stage process. An acrylic, crosslinked seed latex serves as the core, while a plastic monomer mix II containing methacrylic or styrene monomers and monomers with reactive sites (epoxy, carboxy, hydroxy) is polymerized to form the shell of the latex. The graded composition is brought about by beginning to add the monomer II mix before the first monomer mix is completely polymerized. 

Both the methylol and alkoxy methylol groups will readily react with xy, carboxy, hydroxy and amino groups. In addition the unstabilised meAylol groups readily undergo self condensation. 

When unsubstituted, C-5 reacts with electrophilic reagents. Thus phosphorus pentachloride chlorinates the ring (36, 235). A hydroxy group in the 2-position activates the ring towards this reaction. 4-Methylthiazole does not react with bromine in chloroform (201, 236), whereas under the same conditions the 2-hydroxy analog reacts (55. 237-239. 557). Activation of C-5 works also for sulfonation (201. 236), nitration (201. 236. 237), Friede 1-Crafts reactions (201, 236, 237, 240-242), and acylation (243). However, iodination fails (201. 236). and the Gatterman or Reimer-Tieman reactions yield only small amounts of 4-methyl-5-carboxy-A-4-thiazoline-2-one. Recent kinetic investigations show that 2-thiazolones are nitrated via a free base mechanism. A 2-oxo substituent increases the rate of nitration at the 5-position by a factor of 9 log... 

The preparation of these [4-hydroxy-THISs, (1), X = O] by cydization of a-carboxy-N-arylthiobenzimides (5) by treatment with acetic anhydride and triethylamine has been investigated in detail, and the structure has been revised for the compound previously described as 2.3-diphenyl-4-hydroxythiazolium hydroxide inner salt (1, X = 0, R = R = Ph, R = H) (Scheme 5) (3, 10). 4-Hydroxy-THlSs also arise by condensation of gem-dicyanoepoxides with thioamides (Scheme 6) (8). 

This method has mainly been used to prepare thiazoles nonsubstituted in the 2-position and involves the replacement of a functional substituent (amino, halo, mercapto, hydroxy, or carboxy) by a hydrogen. In this way the often delicate cyclization of thioformamide can be avoided. 

Most xanthene dyes are classified as basic dyes by their method of appHcation acid dyes can be produced by introduction of sulfonic acid groups. The fluoresceins, which contain carboxy and hydroxy substituents, are also acid dyes for coloration of silk. Some of the fluoresceins in which the carboxy group has been esterified, are soluble in alcohol or other organic solvents and can be classified as solvent dyes. Mordant dyes can be produced by introducing o-dihydroxy or sahcyhc acid groups (2), which when metallised can have very good lightfastness. 

Polymer-based rocket propellants are generally referred to as composite propellants, and often identified by the elastomer used, eg, urethane propellants or carboxy- (CTPB) or hydroxy- (HTPB) terrninated polybutadiene propellants. The cross-linked polymers act as a viscoelastic matrix to provide mechanical strength, and as a fuel to react with the oxidizers present. Ammonium perchlorate and ammonium nitrate are the most common oxidizers used nitramines such as HMX or RDX may be added to react with the fuels and increase the impulse produced. Many other substances may be added including metallic fuels, plasticizers, stabilizers, catalysts, ballistic modifiers, and bonding agents. Typical components are Hsted in Table 1. 

A large number of polymeric compounds have been investigated, but most modem propellants utilize prepolymers that ate hydroxy-functional polybutadienes (HTPB), carboxy-functional polybutadienes (CTPB), or a family of polyethylene oxides (PEGs) to form urethanes. Typical cure reactions...

Reactions. Although carbapenems are extremely sensitive to many reaction conditions, a wide variety of chemical modifications have been carried out. Many derivatives of the amino, hydroxy, and carboxy group of thienamycin (2) have been prepared primarily to study stmcture—activity relationships (24). The most interesting class of A/-derivatives are the amidines which are usually obtained in good yield by reaction of thienamycin with an imidate ester at pH 8.3. Introduction of this basic but less nucleophilic moiety maintains or improves the potency of the natural material while greatiy increasing the chemical stabiUty. Thus /V-formimidoyl thienamycin [64221-86-9] (MK 0787) (18), C 2H yN204S, (25) was chosen for clinical evaluation and... 

Acid YeUow 23 (31), commonly known as Tartraziae, stiU maintains sales of nearly 0.5 million /yr ia the United States. It was first discovered ia 1884 and is made by coupling equimolar quantities of diazotized sulfarulic acid to 3-carboxy-l- -sulfophenyl)-5-pyrazolone. Other monoazopyrazolone dyes of commercial importance iaclude Acid YeUow 17 (32) (sulfarulic acid — l-(2,5-dichloro-4-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and Acid YeUow 40 [6372-96-9] (33) (Cl 18950) (p-aminophenol l-(4-chloro-2-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone) foUowed by esterification of the phenoUc hydroxy group with -toluenesulfonyl chloride.
