Hydrocaibon chains

Bifunctional initiators such as bis-(2-glycylaminophenyl) disulfide (GAPDS) and 2 -azo-2,2 -dimethyldipropiono hydrazide (AMPH) have been used [152] to obtain hydrocaibon chain polymeric initiators with amino end groups able to promote the polymerization of amincmcid A-carboxy anhydrides (NCA) (Scheme 47). 

The diblock copolymers synthesized (Table 1) are structurally related to the commercially available poly(oxyethylene-alkyl ether) systems (Brij that are built from PEO blocks and hydrocaibon chains. These systems have been successfidly lied as templates in the synthesis of mesostructured silicate materials [2]. PDMS-PEO-based block copolymers are also known to exhibit a two-phase morphology in a certain set of solvents, which may be ascribed, to a first approximation, to the large difference in the solubility parameters of the PDMS and PEO blocks [5]. 

Hydrocaibons that contain a caibon-caibon 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 then- triple bond at the end of a carbon chain (RC=CH) monostibstitrited, or terminal, alkynes. Disubstituted alkynes (RC=CR ) have internal triple bonds. You will see in 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. 

In naming alkynes the usual lUPAC rules for hydrocaibons aie followed, and the suffix -am is replaced by -yne. Both acetylene and ethyne aie acceptable lUPAC nfflnes for HC=CH. The position of the triple bond along the chain is specified by number in a manner analogous to alkene nomenclature. 

Benzaldehyde.—The aldehydes of the aromatic seiies may also be obtained by the oxidation of a methyl side-chain with chromium oxychloride. The solid brown product, C,H,.CH.)(CrO,CL)2, formed by adding C1O2CIJ to toluene, dissolved in carbon bisulphide, is decomposed with water, and benzaldehyde sepaiates out (Etard). Other methods for pie-paring aromatic aldehydes are (i) the Fiiedel-Crafts reaction, in which a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride aie passed into the hydrocaibon in presence of aluminium chloride and a little cuprous chloride,... 

Benzoic Acid.—Tire o idation of the side-chains m aiomatic hydrocaibons is a mattei of considerable intci est, as illustrating the diffeience of stability of the side-chain and nucleus, and also the influence which the rehitive positions of the side-chains, where more than one is present, exeit in piescnce of oxidisiny agents. 

Diesel fuel is produced by distilling raw oil, which is extracted from bedrock. Diesel is a fossil fuel, consisting of hydrocarbons with between 9 and 27 carbon atoms in a chain, as well as a smaller amount of sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and metal compounds. It is a general properly of hydrocarbons that the autoignition temperature is higher for more volatile hydrocaibons. The hydrocarbons present in the diesel fuels include alkanes, naphthenes, olefins and aromatics. 

Low-Smoke Low-Odor Inks, Low-smsolvent-based heat-set inks currently used. These inks contain lower concentrations of solvents (e. g., 20% instead of 40%), with a smaller proportion of saturated hydrocaibon solvents and none of tiie photochemlcally-reactive solvents, yet have printing and ink-film properties typical of beat-set inks. Some of these inks contain exempt solvents (e. g., low-boiling azeotropic mixtures), some contain high-boiling co-solvents (e.g., long-chain alcohols), others contain emulsfiad water.

Impurities can sometimes be removed by conversion to derivatives under conditions where the major component does not react or reacts much more slowly. For example, normal (straight-chain) paraffins can be freed from unsaturated and branched-chain components by taking advantage of the greater reactivity of the latter with chlorosulfonic acid or bromine. Similarly, the preferential nitration of aromatic hydrocaibons can be used to remove e.g. benzene or toluene from cyclohexane by shaking for several hours with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid (25%), sulfuric acid (58%), and water (17%). 

Thermal cracking is the breaking of a hydrocaibon caibon-caibon bond through the free-radical mechanism. Cracking may result in the formation of lower chained Itydrocaibons, the original "cracked" Itydrocarbon, or further cracking of the hydrocarbon to soot. 

In general, fats are nonpolar molecules containing hydrocarbon chains. Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin E, tend to be more hydrocaibon-like. They may have a polar group or two, but the molecule is predominantly nonpolar ... 

The cases when the components of the system participate in both chain initiation and propagation are met rather often. For example, the introduction of alcohol and hydroperoxide into oxidized hydrocarbon, first, results, in the additional initiation (see Section 11.3) and, second, changes the ratio kp lk,) due to the participation of both components in chain propagation (peroxyl radicals of hydrocaibon react with ROH and ROOH, which changes the composition and concentration of the radicals). The method of studying is the following. 

In this chapter, we will expand on the modeling of chain reactions, which are of considerable practical importance in the fields of polymer chemistty and combustion, of molecnles snch as hydrocaibons for example, and explosions. Our study will examine the chain reactions that can lead to psendo-steady state modes. The extension to non-psendo-steady state modes will be discussed in Chapter 15.
