Analysis The cychc ether is obviously made from a diol, and that gives us a 1,2-dioxygenated skeleton of the right kind ... 

Analysis The cycHc ether can clearly be made from the open-chain diol ... 

Section 11 18 Although cychc conjugation is a necessary requirement for aromaticity this alone is not sufficient If it were cyclobutadiene and cycloocta tetraene would be aromatic They are not...

The furan nucleus is a cycHc, dienic ether with some aromaticity (2). It is the least aromatic of the common 5-membered heterocycles. A comparison of the aromaticity (3) of several of these compounds is shown below. 

Acetals are readily formed with alcohols and cycHc acetals with 1,2 and 1,3-diols (19). Furfural reacts with poly(vinyl alcohol) under acid catalysis to effect acetalization of the hydroxyl groups (20,21). Reaction with acetic anhydride under appropriate conditions gives the acylal, furfuryUdene diacetate... 

Furan can be catalyticaHy oxidized in the vapor phase with oxygen-containing gases to maleic anhydride (93). Oxidation with bromine or in an electrochemical process using bromide ion gives 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran [332-77-4] (19) which is a cycHc acetal of maleic dialdehyde (94—96). 

Acylated Corticoids. The corticoid side-chain of (30) was converted iato the cycHc ortho ester (96) by reaction with a lower alkyl ortho ester RC(OR )2 iu benzene solution ia the presence of i ra-toluenesulfonic acid (88). Acid hydrolysis of the product at room temperature led to the formation of the 17-monoesters (97) ia nearly quantitative yield. The 17-monoesters (97) underwent acyl migration to the 21-monoesters (98) on careful heating with. In this way, prednisolone 17a,21-methylorthovalerate was converted quantitatively iato prednisolone 17-valerate, which is a very active antiinflammatory agent (89). The iatermediate ortho esters also are active. Thus, 17a,21-(l -methoxy)-pentyhdenedioxy-l,4-pregnadiene-liP-ol-3,20-dione [(96), R = CH3, R = C Hg] is at least 70 times more potent than prednisolone (89). The above conversions... 

Fig. 3. (a) Chemical stmcture of a synthetic cycHc peptide composed of an alternating sequence of D- and L-amino acids. The side chains of the amino acids have been chosen such that the peripheral functional groups of the dat rings are hydrophobic and allow insertion into Hpid bilayers, (b) Proposed stmcture of a self-assembled transmembrane pore comprised of hydrogen bonded cycHc peptides. The channel is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the peptide backbones of the individual molecules. These synthetic pores have been demonstrated to form ion channels in Hpid bilayers (71). 

As a class of compounds, nitriles have broad commercial utility that includes their use as solvents, feedstocks, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, and pesticides. The versatile reactivity of organonitnles arises both from the reactivity of the C=N bond, and from the abiHty of the cyano substituent to activate adjacent bonds, especially C—H bonds. Nitriles can be used to prepare amines, amides, amidines, carboxyHc acids and esters, aldehydes, ketones, large-ring cycHc ketones, imines, heterocycles, orthoesters, and other compounds. Some of the more common transformations involve hydrolysis or alcoholysis to produce amides, acids and esters, and hydrogenation to produce amines, which are intermediates for the production of polyurethanes and polyamides. An extensive review on hydrogenation of nitriles has been recendy pubHshed (10). 

The magnitude and nature of the load are considered in formulating the design. The load may be essentially quasistatic, cycHc, or impact. Many stmctural failures, for example, have been caused by supposedly innocuous stmctural details welded in place without any consideration given to their effect on fatigue properties. The service temperatures are also important, since they affect the fracture resistance of a material. 

Polymerization. Paraldehyde, 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-5-trioxane [123-63-7] a cycHc trimer of acetaldehyde, is formed when a mineral acid, such as sulfuric, phosphoric, or hydrochloric acid, is added to acetaldehyde (45). Paraldehyde can also be formed continuously by feeding Hquid acetaldehyde at 15—20°C over an acid ion-exchange resin (46). Depolymerization of paraldehyde occurs in the presence of acid catalysts (47) after neutralization with sodium acetate, acetaldehyde and paraldehyde are recovered by distillation. Paraldehyde is a colorless Hquid, boiling at 125.35°C at 101 kPa (1 atm). 

Metaldehyde [9002-91-9] a cycHc tetramer of acetaldehyde, is formed at temperatures below 0°C in the presence of dry hydrogen chloride or pyridine—hydrogen bromide. The metaldehyde crystallizes from solution and is separated from the paraldehyde by filtration (48). Metaldehyde melts in a sealed tube at 246.2°C and sublimes at 115°C with partial depolymerization. 

Reactions with Alcohols, Mercaptans, and Phenols. Alcohols add readily to acetaldehyde in the presence of trace quantities of mineral acid to form acetals eg, ethanol and acetaldehyde form diethyl acetal [105-57-7] (65). Similarly, cycHc acetals are formed by reactions with glycols and other polyhydroxy compounds eg, ethylene glycol [107-21-1] and acetaldehyde give 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane [497-26-7] (66) ... 

The term "acetal resins" commonly denotes the family of homopolymers and copolymers whose main chains are completely or essentially composed of repeating oxymethylene units (—CH2—O—). The polymers are derived chiefly from formaldehyde or methanal [50-00-00] either directly or through its cychc trimer, trioxane or 1,3,5-trioxacyclohexane [110-88-3]. 

Formaldehyde homopolymer is composed exclusively of repeating oxymethylene units and is described by the term poly oxymethylene (POM) [9002-81-7]. Commercially significant copolymers, for example [95327-43-8] have a minor fraction (typically less than 5 mol %) of alkyUdene or other units, derived from cycHc ethers or cycHc formals, distributed along the polymer chain. The occasional break in the oxymethylene sequences has significant ramifications for polymer stabilization. 

The theoretical explanation of the butane reaction mechanism is as fully developed as is that of acetaldehyde oxidation (51). The theory of the naphtha oxidation reaction is more troublesome, however, and less well understood. This is largely because of a back-biting reaction which leads to cycHc products (52). 

Using alcohols instead of water under similar conditions gives cycHc Petals (23), which can be hydroly2ed to acetol. 

Nickel halide complexes with amines give mixtures of linear polymer and cychc trimers (30). Nickel chelates give up to 40% of linear polymer (31). When heated with ammonia over cadmium calcium phosphate catalysts, propargyl alcohol gives a mixture of pyridines (32). 

Rea.ctlons, Butynediol undergoes the usual reactions of primary alcohols. Because of its rigid, linear stmcture, many reactions forming cycHc products from butanediol or i j -butenediol give only polymers with butynediol. 

Rea.ctlons, The chemistry of butanediol is deterrnined by the two primary hydroxyls. Esterification is normal. It is advisable to use nonacidic catalysts for esterification and transesterification (122) to avoid cycHc dehydration. When carbonate esters are prepared at high dilutions, some cycHc ester is formed more concentrated solutions give a polymeric product (123). With excess phosgene the usefiil bischloroformate can be prepared (124). 

Heating butanediol with acetylene in the presence of an acidic mercuric salt gives the cycHc acetal expected from butanediol and acetaldehyde (128). A commercially important reaction is with diisocyanates to form polyurethanes (129) (see Urethane POLYMERS). 

The addition of certain glycols and polyols to acroleki leads to the production of cycHc acetal derivatives. 

Cychc acroleki acetals are, ki general, easily formed, stable compounds and have been considered as components ki a variety of polymer systems. Table 6 Hsts a variety of previously prepared cychc acroleki acetals and thek boiling points (69).
