Crotonic acid, degradation product

Moreover, PHB thermally decomposes at temperatures just above its melting point. A short exposure of PHB to temperature near 180°C could induce a severe degradation accompanied by the production of the degraded products of olefinic and carboxylic acid compounds, e.g., crotonic acid and various oligomers through the random chain scission reaction that involves a cis-elimination reaction of/3-CH and a six-member ring transition [16-18]. [Pg.904]

Although crotonic acid, or 2-pentenoic acid from HV comonomer, is the main decomposition product from the biopolymers at low temperature, other degradation products appear under high-temperature pyrolysis conditions. For PHB homopolymer these include propene and carbon dioxide from the breakdown of crotonic acid itself, isocrotonic acid from the obvious reorganization reaction and /3-butyrolactone as a short-lived intermediate that spontaneously decomposes by 0-alkyl scission to propene and carbon dioxide or by O-acyl scission to acetaldehyde and ketene. Similar reactions can be proposed for the comonomer decomposition and some pyrolysis experiments have already been reported. ... [Pg.24]

Hostacoll C, a presumably low-molecular-weight condensate resin of ethyl-enimine, crotonic acid and ethylene glycol, was used in the 1950s as a coating and consolidant for stained glass (Jagers et al., 2000). It degrades to water-removable products. [Pg.203]

In Scheme 9.6, previously reported mechanisms of the thermal degradation of PHB and PHAs are illustrated. Even though many approaches have been taken on the subject of PHB thermal degradation, a clear explanation for the wide variation in value has yet to be provided. Despite this uncertainty, the random jS-elimination scission has been widely held as the exclusive degradation mechanism of PHB based on typical structures of pyrolysis products, i.e., crotonic acid and oligomers with a crotonate end-group [68, 80]. In 2007, an ElcB mechanism proceeding via a-deprotonation by a carboxylate anion to produce the same products was proposed by Kawalec et al. [81]. [Pg.308]
