Reactivity, functional group

Aldehyde 198 served as a key intermediate in a synthesis of the alkaloid ajmaline. The. Mannich aminomethylation transform triggers disconnection of two bonds in 198 to form dialdehyde 199, which by connective transform application can be converted to cyclopentene 200.58,59 The reduction in functional group reactivity and in structural complexity are both apparent by comparison of 198 and 200. 

Birch s procedure for tropone synthesis appears to be widely applicable to 2,3- or 2,5-dihydroanisole derivatives which are readily obtained by reduction of appropriate aromatic methyl ethers by alcoholic metal-ammonia solutions. " Additional functional groups reactive to dibromocarbene or sensitive to base such as double bonds, ketones and esters would need to be protected or introduced subsequent to the expansion steps. 

Most of the commercially available reactive compatibilized systems contain acidic functional groups. Reactive... 

The rate constant for esterification is independent of x for the compounds studied (Table 2-2). Examples of similar behavior can be found for other reactions [Rand et al., 1965]. The results for sebacoyl chloride offer direct evidence of the concept of functional group reactivity being independent of molecular size, since the rate constant is independent of n as well as x. 

The independence of functional group reactivity of molecular size is contrary to the general impression that was widely held in the early years of polymer science. There was a general misconception of decreased reactivity with increased molecular size. This was due... 

The failure to fit the data over the complete conversion range from 0 to 100% to a third-order plot has sometimes been ascribed to failure of the assumption of equal functional group reactivity, but this is an invalid conclusion. The nonlinearities are not inherent characteristics of the polymerization reaction. Similar nonlinearities have been observed for nonpolymerization esterification reactions such as esterifications of lauryl alcohol with lauric or adipic acid and diethylene glycol with caproic acid [Flory, 1939 Fradet and Marechal, 1982b]. 

Compare the gel points calculated from the Carothers equation (and its modifications) with those using the statistical approach. Describe the effect of unequal functional groups reactivity (e.g., for the hydroxyl groups in glycerol) on the extent of reaction at the gel point. 

Polymerization reactions of multifunctional monomers such as those used in dental restorations occur in the high crosslinking regime where anomalous behavior is often observed, especially with respect to reaction kinetics. This behavior includes auto acceleration and autodeceleration [108-112], incomplete functional group conversion [108,109,113-116], a delay in volume shrinkage with respect to equilibrium [108, 117,118], and unequal functional group reactivity [119-121]. Figures 3 and 4 show a typical rate of polymerization for a multifunctional monomer as a function of time and conversion, respectively. Several distinctive features of the polymerization are apparent in the rate profiles.

Metallisation of fibres is not only a physical process determined by absorption capacity of the fibres for the metal and diffusion capacity of the metal in the fibre structure, but also depends on chemical parameters such as chemical structure of the fibres, presence of functional groups, reactivity of the fibre and the metal, oxidation state of the metal and the presence, necessity and reactivity of supporting chemicals (e.g. reducing agent). Therefore, it was necessary first to study metallisation at different types of fibres in order to investigate which structure is most useful for further research. In this respect, viscose, cotton, natural silk and polyacrylonitrile fibres were investigated because of their different structure and properties and their availability in the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). 

If the monoalcohol R2OH bears some other functional groups, reactive oligomers are obtained. Typically, the monoalcohol is an acrylate or a methacrylate such as hydroxyethylacrylate or methacrylate ... 

Solomon and Hawthorne (1) have provided a schematic summary of the functional group reactivity of smectites. More recently, it was pointed out that the types of sites will depend on the state of hydration of the clay as...
