Difunctional aldehyde reactions

Many chemical reaction systems have been published for the modification of agrofibers. These chemicals include ketene, phthalic, succinic, maleic, propionic and butyric anhydrides, acid chlorides, carboxylic acids, many types of isocyanates, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, difunctional aldehydes, chloral, phthaldehydic acid, dimethyl sulfate, alkyl chlorides, beta-propiolactone, acrylonitrile, ethylene, propylene, and butylene oxide, and difunctional epoxides [35,36]. 

Step and chain polymerizations are typical examples of condensation polymerization of difunctional monomers and addition polymerization of olefinic monomers, respectively [23-26]. Bayer s phenol-aldehyde reaction is a step polymerization and Simons styrene reaction is a chain polymerization(Eqs. 25-26). 

Examples of name reactions can be found by first considering the nature of the starting material and product. The Wittig reaction, for instance, is in Section 199 (Alkenes from Aldehydes) and Section 207 (Alkenes frorm Ketones). The aldol condensation can be found in the chapters on difunctional compounds in Section 324 (Alcohol, Thiol-Aldehyde) and in Section 330 (Alcohol, Thiol-Ketone). 

Classification and Organization of Reactions Forming Difunctional Compounds. This chapter considers all possible difunctional compounds formed from the groups acetylene, carboxylic acid, alcohol, thiol, aldehyde, amide, amine, ester, ether, epoxide, thioether, halide, ketone, nitrile, and olefin. Reactions that form difunctional compounds are classified into sections on the basis of the two functional groups of the product. The relative positions... 

Other difunctional compounds have been made. A few examples are noteworthy. Olefinic carbinols of the types RCH =CHCH,OH and RCHOHCH = CH, on treatment with dry hydrogen bromide or chloride undergo allylic rearrangements to yield equilibrium mixtures of isomeric unsaturated halides. Acetylenic carbinols prepared from sodium acetylide and aldehydes or ketones can be converted to their chlorides by means of anhydrous hydrogen chloride at —5°C. However, it should be noted that, in the reaction of dimethylethynylcarbinol,... 

Difunctional compounds, including certain halogenated ethers, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, amines, and nitro compounds, have been prepared by the Sandmeyer reaction. However, fluorophenols and fluoro acids are best obtained from the corresponding ethers and esters, respectively, which have been fluorinated by the Schiemann reaction. ... 

Many difunctional epoxides, isocyanates, anhydrides, or aldehydes are available for reaction. In general, the shorter the carbon chain is between the two functional reactive groups, the faster the reaction will occur. In many cases, once one functional group has reacted, the reactivity of the second is reduced. 

The reaction of aldehydes or ketones with l,2-bis(trimethylsilyoxy)ethane catalysed by trimethylsilyl triflate is a useful mild method for the preparation of acetals with the advantage of avoiding proton acidic conditions. It has now been reported that these reagents in CH2CI2 at -78 C allow the highly selective protection of the less hindered carbonyl of a difunctional molecule, and even allows the protection of an, aB-unsaturated ketone in the presence of a more sterically... 

Emil Fischer and most students in qualitative organic analysis were familiar with the reactions of monofunctional isoqranates with alcohols, amines and aldehydes. Otto Bayer, who was manager of research of the LG. Farben-industrie Laboratories at Leverkusen extended these simple reactions to difunctional reactants and obtained a versatile family of pol30irethane fibers, foams, elastomers, plastics and coatings. 

This chapter will discuss 1,3-dienes in a reaction with alkenes to give cyclohexene derivatives. This is a thermal reaction driven by interactions of molecular orbitals rather than ionic or polarized intermediates. In addition to the reaction of 1,3-dienes, 1,5-dienes undergo a rearrangement to a different 1,5-diene in what is known as a sigmatropic rearrangement. Similarly, allyl vinyl ethers rearrange to form alkenyl aldehydes or ketones. Both of these reactions tend to give difunctional molecules as products. 

The Claisen rearrangement and the Cope rearrangement are very useful reactions. Note that the products are difunctional compounds. Dienes, alkene-aldehydes or alkene-ketones, and alkene-acids are all generated by these reactions.
