Poly bromination reaction

Nitration of poly-DCH. In contrast to the bromination reaction, the nitration reaction cannot be as easily controlled, and the resultant products are all highly nitrated. The results of some preliminary studies are shown in Fig. 5, where the spectra of a sample of composition poly-DCH(N02)7.6 and the model compound N-ethyl-3,6-dinitrocarbazole are compared. The sites of nitration, unlike those of bromination, can be directly observed in the CP-MAS NMR spectra, although they are somewhat broadened by the dipolar interaction with the quadrupolar nitrogen nucleus as discussed above. No triple bond resonance is detected in the nitrated polymer, while some poorly resolved absorption in the region near 130 ppm in the spectra obtained with delayed decoupling indi-... 

In 1989, Fr chet and co-workers first reported the convergent growth approach [8,9]. In contrast to the divergent growth approach, dendrimer construction is initiated at what will eventually become the outer surface shell of the ideally branched macromolecule and proceeds inward, by a stepwise addition of branching monomers, followed by the final attachment of each branched dendritic sub-unit (or dendron ) to a poly-functional core. This synthesis generated a poly(aromatic ether) dendrimer and a repetitive sequence of Williamson ether coupling and bromination reactions were employed as shown in Scheme 8.1. 

Poly(phenylene oxide)s undergo many substitution reactions (25). Reactions involving the aromatic rings and the methyl groups of DMPPO include bromination (26), displacement of the resultant bromine with phosphoms or amines (27), lithiation (28), and maleic anhydride grafting (29). Additional reactions at the open 3-position on the ring include nitration, alkylation (30), and amidation with isocyanates (31). 

Again, as with pyridopyrimidines, the main reaction is oxidation of di- or poly-hydro derivatives to fully aromatic structures, often merely by air or oxygen. In some cases the reagent of choice is mercury(II) oxide, whilst other reagents used include sulfur, bromine, chloranil, chromium trioxide-acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium ferricyanide, which also caused oxidative removal of a benzyl group in the transformation (306) (307)... 

Furan reacts vigorously with chlorine and bromine at room temperature to give poly-halogenated products. Low temperature (-40 °C) reaction of furan with chlorine in dichloromethane yields mainly 2-chlorofuran and reaction of furan with dioxane dibromide at 0 °C affords 2-bromofuran in good yield. 2-Iodofuran is obtained by treatment of 2-furoic acid with iodine and potassium iodide in aqueous sodium hydroxide. 

Ladenheim and Morawetz [23] also showed that the reactivity of the carboxylate units in partially ionized poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) toward BrCH2COO in the bromine displacement reaction was greatly diminished, while the reaction proceeded at an appreciable rate with uncharged p-bromoacetamide [23]. This inhibition of the reaction of the polyanion with a small anionic reagent can be attributed to the electrostatic repulsion between the polymer and the reagent. 

The Ullman reaction has long been known as a method for the synthesis of aromatic ethers by the reaction of a phenol with an aromatic halide in the presence of a copper compound as a catalyst. It is a variation on the nucleophilic substitution reaction since a phenolic salt reacts with the halide. Nonactivated aromatic halides can be used in the synthesis of poly(arylene edier)s, dius providing a way of obtaining structures not available by the conventional nucleophilic route. The ease of halogen displacement was found to be the reverse of that observed for activated nucleophilic substitution reaction, that is, I > Br > Cl F. The polymerizations are conducted in benzophenone with a cuprous chloride-pyridine complex as a catalyst. Bromine compounds are the favored reactants.53,124 127 Poly(arylene ether)s have been prepared by Ullman coupling of bisphenols and... 

Since thiophene derivatives, heterocyclic aromatic compounds, are sensitive toward electrophilic substitution reactions, the bromination of these compounds generally gives a mixture of mono-, di-, and other poly-substituted bromination products (ref. 19). However, we have recently found that BTMA Br3 is a useful... 

Verdet and Stille1 employed brominated poly(phenylene oxide) intermediates in an effort to synthesize more stable catalyst supports containing (cyclopentadienyl)metal complexes. Treatment of poly(oxy-2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene) with N-bromosuccinimide under photolytic conditions produced only the bromomethyl derivative if the D.F. did not exceed 0.35. Subsequent treatment of the bromomethylated polymer with sodium cyclopentadienide afforded the cyclopentadienyl functionalized polymer, 5, but the reaction was accompanied by crosslinking and it was not possible to remove the bromomethyl substituents quantitatively. 

An alternative synthesis of a thermally stable cyclopentadienyl functionalized polymer involved ring bromination of poly(oxy-2,6-diphenyl-l,4-phenylene), followed by lithiation with butyl lithium to produce an aryllithium polymer. Arylation of 2-norbornen-7-one with the metalated polymer yielded the corresponding 2-norbornen-7-ol derivative. Conversion of the 7-ol to 7-chloro followed by treatment with butyl lithium generated the benzyl anion which undergoes a retro Diels-Alder reaction with the evolution of ethylene to produce the desired aryl cyclopentadiene polymer, 6. 

The chemical modification of poly (2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) by several polymer analogous reactions is presented. The chemical modification was accomplished by the electrophilic substitution reactions such as bromination, sulfonylation and acylation. The permeability to gases of the PPO and of the resulting modified polymers is discussed. Very good permeation properties to gases, better than for PPO were obtained for the modified structures. The thermal behavior of the substituted polymers resembled more or less the properties of the parent polymer while their solution behavior exhibited considerable differences. 

Di(dibromomethyl)benzene is reduced at a mercury cathode to yield the poly(p-phenylenevinylene) 41. The reaction proceeds through a brominated poly-... 

Reaction of II with electrophilic agents, HN03, SOs, and CH20 in concentrated sulfuric acid, and with bromine in acetic acid, yielded the mono- or poly-substituted complexes, depending upon the reaction conditions (16). The position of substitution in these complexes was established by permanganate oxidation to the benzoic acids, esterification of the acids with diazomethane, and sub-...
