Plasticizers can be classified according to their chemical nature. The most important classes of plasticizers used in rubber adhesives are phthalates, polymeric plasticizers, and esters. The group phthalate plasticizers constitutes the biggest and most widely used plasticizers. The linear alkyl phthalates impart improved low-temperature performance and have reduced volatility. Most of the polymeric plasticizers are saturated polyesters obtained by reaction of a diol with a dicarboxylic acid. The most common diols are propanediol, 1,3- and 1,4-butanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol. Adipic, phthalic and sebacic acids are common carboxylic acids used in the manufacture of polymeric plasticizers. Some poly-hydroxybutyrates are used in rubber adhesive formulations. Both the molecular weight and the chemical nature determine the performance of the polymeric plasticizers. Increasing the molecular weight reduces the volatility of the plasticizer but reduces the plasticizing efficiency and low-temperature properties. Typical esters used as plasticizers are n-butyl acetate and cellulose acetobutyrate. 

From the preceding discussion, it is easily understood that direct polyesterifications between dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diols (Scheme 2.8, R3 = H) and polymerizations involving aliphatic or aromatic esters, acids, and alcohols (Scheme 2.8, R3 = alkyl group, and Scheme 2.9, R3 = H) are rather slow at room temperature. These reactions must be carried out in the melt at high temperature in the presence of catalysts, usually metal salts, metal oxides, or metal alkoxides. Vacuum is generally applied during the last steps of the reaction in order to eliminate the last traces of reaction by-product (water or low-molar-mass alcohol, diol, or carboxylic acid such as acetic acid) and to shift the reaction toward the... 

Several examples of conjugate addition of carbanions carried out under aprotic conditions are given in Scheme 2.24. The reactions are typically quenched by addition of a proton source to neutralize the enolate. It is also possible to trap the adduct by silylation or, as we will see in Section 2.6.2, to carry out a tandem alkylation. Lithium enolates preformed by reaction with LDA in THF react with enones to give 1,4-diketones (Entries 1 and 2). Entries 3 and 4 involve addition of ester enolates to enones. The reaction in Entry 3 gives the 1,2-addition product at —78°C but isomerizes to the 1,4-product at 25° C. Esters of 1,5-dicarboxylic acids are obtained by addition of ester enolates to a,(3-unsaturated esters (Entry 5). Entries 6 to 8 show cases of...

Electrophilic substitution of the ring hydrogen atom in 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is uncommon. In contrast, several reactions of electrophiles with C-linked substituents of 1,3,4-oxadiazole have been reported. 2,5-Diaryl-l,3,4-oxadiazoles are bromi-nated and nitrated on aryl substituents. Oxidation of 2,5-ditolyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole afforded the corresponding dialdehydes or dicarboxylic acids. 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole treated with butyllithium and then with isoamyl nitrite yielded the oxime of 5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-carbaldehyde. 2-Chloromethyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole under the action of sulfur and methyl iodide followed by amines affords the respective thioamides. 2-Chloromethyl-5-methyl-l,3,4-oxadia-zole and triethyl phosphite gave a product, which underwent a Wittig reation with aromatic aldehydes to form alkenes. Alkyl l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylates undergo typical reactions with ammonia, amines, and hydrazines to afford amides or hydrazides. It has been shown that 5-amino-l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylic acids and their esters decarboxylate. 

Hinsburg first reported that various a-dicarbonyl compounds (256) condensed with thiodiglycolic esters in the presence of alcoholic sodium ethoxide to give various substituted thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic esters (257). R1 and R2 in (256) could be H, OH, alkyl, OR, aryl or carboxyl groups o-quinones will also condense. If the condensation is carried out in aqueous alcohol, as is the case when glyoxal (256 R1 = R2 = H) is used, the thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid is isolated directly. Pyruvic acid gives the half-ester of (257 R1 = Me, R2 = OH). The earlier work has been reviewed (52HC(3)l). 

The acid esters of 1,2-dicarboxylic acids are conveniently prepared by heating the corresponding cyclic anhydride with one molar proportion of the alcohol (see the preparation of alkyl hydrogen phthalates from phthalic anhydride and their use in the resolution of racemic alcohols, Section 5.19). 

The C8 aldehyde ester may be produced by cleavage of the 9-hydroperoxide of ethyl llnoleate followed by terminal hydroperoxidation. Further oxidation would produce the corresponding dicarboxylic acid which upon decarboxylation would give rise to ethyl heptanoate. The 8-alkoxy radical may also decompose to give the C7 alkyl radical, which would yield ethyl heptanoate or form a terminal hydroperoxide, and so on. Polymerization, both intra- and intermolecular, is also a major reaction in high temperature oxidation. Combination of alkyl, alkoxy, and peroxy radicals yields a variety of dimeric and polymeric compounds with C-O-C or C-O-O-C crosslinks.
