B) Modification of condensation polymers - Although the mechanical properties of condensation polymers are often superior to those of PS, little work has been done on the introduction of functional groups by chemical modification of condensation polymers. For example, chloromethylation of polymers con-... 

If preferred, a 1 5 litre three-necked flask. equippedropping funnel, mechanical stirrer and leflux condenser, may be used and the obvious modifications of technique introduced. This proaadure is recommended.

CONDENSATIONS WITH SODAMIDE IN LIQUID AMMONIA Acetylenic compounds are conveniently prepared with the aid of Uquid ammcx as a solvent. The preparation of a simple acetylenic hydrocarbon ( -butylacetylene or 1-hexyne) and also of phenylacetylene is described. Experimental details are also given for two acetylenic carbinols, viz., 1-ethynyl-eyciohoxanul and 4-pentyn-l-ol. It will be noted that the scale is somewhat laige smaller quantities can readily be prepared by obvious modifications of the directions. 

Secondary smoke is produced mosdy by the condensation of water in humid or cold air. The presence of hydrogen chloride or hydrogen fluoride in the combustion products increases the extent and rate of condensation. Composition modifications to reduce primary smoke may reduce secondary smoke to some extent, but complete elimination is unlikely. The relatively small amount of smoke produced in gun firings by modem nitrocellulose propellants, although undesirable, is acceptable (102—109). 

Most commercial sorbic acid is produced by a modification of this route. Catalysts composed of metals (2inc, cadmium, nickel, copper, manganese, and cobalt), metal oxides, or carboxylate salts of bivalent transition metals (2inc isovalerate) produce a condensation adduct with ketene and crotonaldehyde (22—24), which has been identified as (5). 

Thiostrepton family members are biosynthesized by extensive modification of simple peptides. Thus, from amino acid iacorporation studies, the somewhat smaller (mol wt 1200) nosiheptide, which contains five thiazole rings, a trisubstituted iadole, and a trisubstituted pyridine, is speculated to arise from a simple dodecapeptide. This work shows that the thiazole moieties arise from the condensation of serine with cysteiae (159,160). Only a few reports on the biosynthesis of the thiostrepton family are available (159,160). Thiostrepton is presently used ia the United States only as a poly antimicrobial vetetinary ointment (Panalog, Squibb), but thiazole antibiotics have, ia the past, been used as feed additives ia various parts of the world. General (158) and mechanism of action (152) reviews on thiostrepton are available. 

A kind of modification of the Polonovski-Boon synthesis is the reaction of 5,6-dihalopyrimidines with ethylenediamine derivatives. Depending on the bulkiness of the amino substituents a more or less regiospecific condensation may proceed (71CB780), as shown recently in the reaction of 5-bromo-6-chloro-l,3-dimethyluracil (279) with 2-methyl-amino- -propylamine to form l,3,5,6-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrolumazine (280 equation 99) (80Ba3385). 

Methylsuccinic acid has been prepared by the pyrolysis of tartaric acid from 1,2-dibromopropane or allyl halides by the action of potassium cyanide followed by hydrolysis by reduction of itaconic, citraconic, and mesaconic acids by hydrolysis of ketovalerolactonecarboxylic acid by decarboxylation of 1,1,2-propane tricarboxylic acid by oxidation of /3-methylcyclo-hexanone by fusion of gamboge with alkali by hydrog. nation and condensation of sodium lactate over nickel oxide from acetoacetic ester by successive alkylation with a methyl halide and a monohaloacetic ester by hydrolysis of oi-methyl-o -oxalosuccinic ester or a-methyl-a -acetosuccinic ester by action of hot, concentrated potassium hydroxide upon methyl-succinaldehyde dioxime from the ammonium salt of a-methyl-butyric acid by oxidation with. hydrogen peroxide from /9-methyllevulinic acid by oxidation with dilute nitric acid or hypobromite from /J-methyladipic acid and from the decomposition products of glyceric acid and pyruvic acid. The method described above is a modification of that of Higginbotham and Lapworth. ... 

Modification of urea-formaldehyde resins with other reagents gives rise to a number of useful materials. For example, co-condensation of urea-formaldehyde and a monohydric alcohol in the presence of small quantities of an acidic catalyst will involve simultaneous etherification and resinification. n-Propanol, n-butanol and isobutanol are commonly used for this purpose. As an example n-butanol will react with the methylol urea as shown in Figure 24.4. 

The method described is a modification of the procedure used by Ghosez to synthesize cinnamonitrile. 3-(2-Furyl)acrylo-nitrile has been prepared by catalytic condensation of furfural with acetonitrile in the vapor phase at 320°, by dehydration of the corresponding amide over phosphorus pentachloride, and by decarboxylation of 3-(2-furyl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid. ... 

More recently, a modification of the system described by Kreibich has been used extensively in industry with good success. Part A of the adhesive is again a standard phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) cold-setting adhesive, with powder hardener added at its standard pH. Part B can be either the same PRF adhesive with no hardener and the pH adjusted to 12, or a 50 to 55% tannin extract solution at a pH of 12-13, provided that the tannin is of the condensed or flavonoid type, such as mimosa, quebracho, or pine bark extract, with no hardener [118,135-137], The results obtained with these two systems are good and the resin not only has all the advantages desired but also the use of vegetable tannins and the halving of the resorcinol content makes the system considerably cheaper [118,135-137].
