Indanes, formation

Dihydronaphthalene (DHN) is frequently assumed to be an intermediate in hydrogen transfer reactions. While this appears reasonable, efforts to detect and/or measure this intermediate have never been very successful. Assuming that DHN is present, we have briefly explored its role in hydrogen transfer and methyl indan formation. [Pg.364]

DHN. Apparently DHN both thermally dehyrogenates to naphthalene and disproportionates to Tetralin and naphthalene. In all of the runs, there was a sizable amount of hydrogen released when the reactors were opened. When DHN was heated at 450°C for either 15 or 180 minutes, the ratio of naphthalene to etralin was 1.8. Increased methyl indan formation occurred with time. With the introduction of dibenzyl, the anticipated [2] increased isomerization of T etralin to methyl indan occurred. These results suggest that the rearrangement of hydroaromatics does not proceed through the dihydro-... [Pg.365]

Indan formation [Reactions (13)-(15)] represents an intramolecular alkylation of the aromatic ring by a carbanion. [Pg.132]

Indan formation is significant in polymerizations of styrene, a-methylstyrene, and p-alkyl-substituted styrenes, but is less important in p-me-thoxystyrene polymerizations [14], Indan formation is not possible in polymerizations of styrene derivatives substituted at both ortho positions and is suppressed in polymerizations of 3,5-disubstituted styrene derivatives due to steric hindrance [105]. Indan formation consumes initiator in attempts at polymerizing isobutene with cumyl chloride and p-dicumyl chloride initiators [280]. [Pg.229]

Nuyken has optimized indan formation of diisopropenylbenzene to prepare polyindans with both high glass transition temperatures and high thermal stability [Eq. (94)] [291]. [Pg.229]

Indan formation is favored by the relatively high equilibrium monomer concentration of the corresponding a-methylstyrene ([ML 1 mol/L at ambient temperature). For example, a-methylstyrene itself is dimerized rather than polymerized at [M]0 < 1 mol/L, and the resulting unsaturated dimers cyclize efficiently to provide dimeric indans, especially at elevated temperatures. [Pg.229]

Although indan formation is significant in styrene polymerizations, j3-proton elimination is much faster than intramolecular alkylation [292]. Unsaturated styrene and a-methylstyrene dimers are prepared quantitatively under high dilution at elevated temperatures without cyclization to indan derivatives [293]. In this case, the carbocations must be quenched before intramolecular cyclization becomes significant at high conversion. However, indan formation competes with depropagation at temperatures above 50° C, which is much too high for unsaturated styrene dimers (D =) to homopolymerize. As outlined in Eq. (95), the unsaturated dimers form indans (Din) in the presence of acid. [Pg.229]

At lower temperatures (- 70° C) with lower equilibrium monomer concentrations, unsaturated dimers rapidly form tetramers without producing a significant amount of trimers [295]. This indicates that the unsaturated dimer prefers to dimerize, with depropagation and indan formation less probable. 1,2-Hydride shifts may also occur, as indicated by the large variety of dimer stereoisomers formed, as well as by spectral changes in the stopped-flow studies of the dimerization. Eq. (96) outlines the variety of isomeric indan derivatives formed at later stages of the reaction by a combination of hydride shifts (cf., Section V.A.4) and intramolecular cyclizations. [Pg.230]

Addition of further monomer results in an increase in molecular weight. The danger of termination by indane formation seems to be reduced by adding the monomer in small portions [102,103] ... [Pg.96]
