Cyclic carbonate functional groups

Takata and Endo, 1988]. A cyclic carbonate and cyclic ether are eliminated as by-products in reaction pathways a and b, respectively. Polymer LXXIV contains both ether and carbonate functional groups in the polymer chain. 

Cyclic carbonate functional polymers have been explored on a limited basis over a number of years. The cyclic carbonate group is an attractive functional group due to its reactivity with primary amines at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures to form crosslinked networks [7]. Cyclic carbonate functional polymers will also react with carboxylic acid functional polymers [2] at higher temperatures to form crosslinked coatings. 

Regioselectivity of C—C double bond formation can also be achieved in the reductiv or oxidative elimination of two functional groups from adjacent carbon atoms. Well estab llshed methods in synthesis include the reductive cleavage of cyclic thionocarbonates derivec from glycols (E.J. Corey, 1968 C W. Hartmann, 1972), the reduction of epoxides with Zn/Nal or of dihalides with metals, organometallic compounds, or Nal/acetone (seep.lS6f), and the oxidative decarboxylation of 1,2-dicarboxylic acids (C.A. Grob, 1958 S. Masamune, 1966 R.A. Sheldon, 1972) or their r-butyl peresters (E.N. Cain, 1969). 

Hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond are called alkynes Non cyclic alkynes have the molecular formula C H2 -2 Acetylene (HC=CH) is the simplest alkyne We call compounds that have their triple bond at the end of a carbon chain (RC=CH) monosubstituted or terminal alkynes Disubstituted alkynes (RC=CR ) have internal triple bonds You will see m this chapter that a carbon-carbon triple bond is a functional group reacting with many of the same reagents that react with the double bonds of alkenes... 

Aldoses incorporate two functional groups C=0 and OH which are capable of react mg with each other We saw m Section 17 8 that nucleophilic addition of an alcohol function to a carbonyl group gives a hemiacetal When the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups are part of the same molecule a cyclic hemiacetal results as illustrated m Figure 25 3 Cyclic hemiacetal formation is most common when the ring that results is five or SIX membered Five membered cyclic hemiacetals of carbohydrates are called furanose forms SIX membered ones are called pyranose forms The nng carbon that is derived... 

Carbohydrates are marvelous molecules In most of them every carbon bears a functional group and the nature of the functional groups changes as the molecule mterconverts between open chain and cyclic hemiacetal forms Any approach to understanding carbohydrates must begin with structure... 

Several trends have emerged in the extensive carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy data that have been accumulated for sulfones and sulfoxides. Based on many studies of cyclic systems—particularly five- and six-membered ring sulfur compounds—these trends were shown to generally apply equally to both the cyclic and acyclic systems . Thus (a) oxidation of a sulfide to a sulfone results in a 20-25 ppm downfield chemical shift for sp -hybridized a-carbon atoms and 4-9 ppm upfield shift for / -carbons , and (b) there is very little difference between the chemical shifts of a-carbon atoms of sulfones and sulfoxides despite the difference in the inductive effects of these two functional groups . A difference is observed, however, in the H chemical shift of related cyclic sulfoxides and sulfones . 

Catalytic hydrogenation transfers the elements of molecular hydrogen through a series of complexes and intermediates. Diimide, HN=NH, an unstable hydrogen donor that can be generated in situ, finds specialized application in the reduction of carbon-carbon double bonds. Simple alkenes are reduced efficiently by diimide, but other easily reduced functional groups, such as nitro and cyano are unaffected. The mechanism of the reaction is pictured as a concerted transfer of hydrogen via a nonpolar cyclic TS. 

Quinoxalines with a cyclic substituent other than an unsubstituted cycloalkyl, morpholino, phenyl, or piperidino group Quinoxalines bearing a substituent with more than six carbon atoms, except for an unsubstituted benzyl or benzoyl group Quinoxalines with two or more independent functional groups on a single substituent... 

Just as certain pyranose sugars can give rise to bis-acetal or bis-ketal derivatives which constitute linearly fused 5 6 6 systems (cf. Section 12.17.2.1.7), another set of bis-acetals and bis-ketals - in many cases derived from the same sugars - correspond to angularly fused 5 6 6 systems. These, like their linearly fused analogues, serve to protect, selectively, four hydroxyl groups of the parent sugars, and cyclic carbonates (l,3-dioxolan-2-ones) may fulfill similar functions. 

This group of compounds includes those monomers with one or more carbon atoms carrying a hydroperoxy or peroxy group, and also singly bonded to an oxygen atom present as hydroxyl, ether or cyclic ether functions. While the group of compounds is, in general, moderately stable, the lower 1-hydroxy and 1,T-dihydroxy-alkyl peroxides or hydroperoxides are explosive. Individually indexed compounds are ... 

The phenolic functional group consists of a hydroxyl attached directly to a carbon atom of an aromatic ring. The OH group can also be the consequence of further oxidation or combination with other pollutants such as pesticides, aldehydes, and alcohols (i. e., 2,4-D, cyclic alcohols, cresols, naphthols, quinones, nitrophenols, and pentachlorophenol compounds) forming new more toxic compounds [17,42,160].
