Phenol Branch

Alternatively, etherification of 35 with diazomethane enables the preparation of [ring-U- C]guaiacol. Repetition of the hydroxylation, O-methylation and release sequence allows the conversion of [U- C]phenol into [U- C]pyrogaUol dimethyl ether (2,6-dimethoxy[U- C]phenol) in 5-10% overall radiochemical yield.  

The range of procedures offering regioselective functionalizations of [U- C]phenol is only complete with the inclusion of methods that furnish preferentially or exclusively p-substituted derivatives. Treatment of [U- C]phenol with CCI4 and 20% aqueous NaOH in the presence of /3-cyclodextrin and copper powder furnishes, for example, exclusively 

A much higher regioselectivity was observed when [U- C]phenol reacted with equimolar amounts of bromine in carbon disulfide. The crude reaction mixture contained only 3% of the ortho isomer, which could be easily removed by column chromatography to give

Cation Exchange Extractants. This class of extractants includes phenols, branched alkyl carboxylic acids, alkyl phosphoric acids, diketones, and alkyl-aryl sulfonic acids. The last group listed, sulfonic acids, are analogous to sulfonic-acid cation exchange resins and have very little selectivity. Diketones, alkyl phosphoric acids and carboxylic acids can provide both cation exchange functions and coordination functions. This feature has made bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid one of the most versatile and powerful extractants of this type. (5) The nation below illustrates simple cation exchange extraction.

Both aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates can be blocked by a variety of blocking agents. These include alcohols, phenols, oximes, lactams, j8-dicarbonyl compounds, bisulfite addition compounds, hydroxylamines and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and salicylic acid. Perhaps the most widely used blocking agents at present are phenol, branched alcohols, 2-butanone oxime (methyl ethyl ketoxime) and 8-caprolactam. The use of blocked isocyanates in PU coatings has been comprehensively reviewed. ... 

Stopping the polymer at this point requires the ratio of formaldehyde to phenol to be less than unity. Both methylene and ether bridges are known to be present. The reaction is either acid or base catalyzed, and branching is uncommon at this stage. The products are variously known as A stage resins, novolacs, or resole prepolymers.

Significant quantities of the diphenoquinone are also produced if the ortho substituents are methoxy groups (36). Phenols with less than two ortho substituents produce branched and colored products from the reactions that occur at the open ortho sites. It is possible to minimize such side reactions in the case of o-cresol oxidation by using a bulky ligand on the copper catalyst to block the open ortho position (38). 

Trilialophenols can be converted to poly(dihaloph.enylene oxide)s by a reaction that resembles radical-initiated displacement polymerization. In one procedure, either a copper or silver complex of the phenol is heated to produce a branched product (50). In another procedure, a catalytic quantity of an oxidizing agent and the dry sodium salt in dimethyl sulfoxide produces linear poly(2,6-dichloro-l,4-polyphenylene oxide) (51). The polymer can also be prepared by direct oxidation with a copper—amine catalyst, although branching in the ortho positions is indicated by chlorine analyses (52).

Structurally viscous grades are based on branched polymers (branching being effected by the use of tri- or higher functional phenols). These polymers exhibit a sharp decrease in viscosity with increasing shear rate which makes them particularly suitable for extrusion and blow moulding and also, it is claimed, in reducing drip in case of fire. 

Whilst conventional polycarbonate based on bis-phenol A is essentially linear, branched polymers have recently been introduced. These materials have flow properties and a melt stability that makes them particularly suitable for large (20 litre) water and milk containers. Branched polymers have also been used in the manufacture of twin-walled sheet for the building industry. 

Upon formulating these relationships, phenols with branched alkyl substituents were not included in the data of a-cyclodextrin systems, though they were included in (3-cyclodextrin systems. In all the above equations, the n term was statistically significant at the 99.5 % level of confidence, indicating that the hydrophobic interaction plays a decisive role in the complexation of cyclodextrin with phenols. The Ibrnch term was statistically significant at the 99.5% level of confidence for (3-cyclo-dextrin complexes with m- and p-substituted phenols. The stability of the complexes increases with an increasing number of branches in substituents. This was ascribed to the attractive van der Waals interaction due to the close fitness of the branched substituents to the (3-cyclodextrin cavity. The steric effect of substituents was also observed for a-cyclodextrin complexes with p-substituted phenols (Eq. 22). In this case, the B parameter was used in place of Ibmch, since no phenol with a branched... 

Side reactions involving branching through a secondary hydroxyl group can also occur. The extent of these side reactions should decrease as the ratio of epoxy to phenol decreases since phenolate anions are significantly more nucleophilic titan aliphatic hydroxyl groups.
