Poly esterification with

HydrophobicaHy Modified, Ethoxylated Urethane. HEUR associative thickeners are in effect poly(oxyethylene) polymers that contain terminal hydrophobe units (66). They can be synthesized via esterification with monoacids, tosylation reactions, or direct reaction with monoisocyanates. There are problems associated with aH of the methods of synthesis. The general commercial procedure for their synthesis is by a step-growth addition of... 

Tetraethylene glycol may be used direcdy as a plasticizer or modified by esterification with fatty acids to produce plasticizers (qv). Tetraethylene glycol is used directly to plasticize separation membranes, such as siHcone mbber, poly(vinyl acetate), and ceUulose triacetate. Ceramic materials utilize tetraethylene glycol as plasticizing agents in resistant refractory plastics and molded ceramics. It is also employed to improve the physical properties of cyanoacrylate and polyacrylonitrile adhesives, and is chemically modified to form polyisocyanate, polymethacrylate, and to contain siHcone compounds used for adhesives.

In this study, polyesters [XII] having syringyl-type biphenyl units were synthesized from 4,4 -dihydroxy-3,3, 5,5 -tetramethoxybiphenyl (XI) which was prepared from 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (11). As shown in Scheme 6, poly esterification of XI with terephthaloyl, isophthaloyl and sebacoyl chloride were carried out by the low temperature solution polycondensation and by the interfacial polycondensation. The polyterephthalate with jjinh = 1.42 dl/g was obtained by the interfacial poly condensation. The polyisophtha-late with f7 nh = 0.73 dl/g and the polysebacate with Jj nh = 0.43 dl/g were obtained by the low temperature solution polycondensation.

For example, Mandal et al. have reported the synthesis of Au core-shell NPs containing a gold core and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shells by surface-confined living radical polymerization on gold nanoparticles. The synthesis of Au NPs has been carried out in the presence of 11-mercaptoundecanol (MUD) and subsequent esterification with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIB). Atom transfer...

Acyl chloride-functionalized SWCNTs are also susceptible to reactions with other nucleophiles, e.g. alcohols. Haddorfs group reported the preparation of soluble ester-functionalized carbon nanotubes SWCNT-COO(CH2)17CH3 (Fig. 1.6a) obtained by esterification with octadecanol [134]. The syntheses of soluble polymer-bound and dendritic ester-functionalized SWCNTs have been reported by Riggs et al. by attaching poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl alcohol) (Fig. 1.6b) [135] and hydrophilic and lipophilic dendron-type benzyl alcohols [119], respectively, to SWCNT-COC1 (Fig. 1.6c). These functional groups could be removed under basic and acidic hydrolysis conditions and thus additional evidence for the nature of the attachment was provided [119, 136]. 

Reactions of the cyclic compounds with different kinds of organic reagents at room temperature readily give a seri of pyrimidine derivatives without using any cata-lyst One of the typical reactions involves esterification with acetic add in bulk to afford the corresponding acetate. When the reaction is applied to polymeric adds, e.g. poly(acrylic acid) and poly(methacrylic add), polyacrylate and polymethacrylate having pendant uracil and thymine units are obtained in high yield (Schemes 6 and 1) ... 

Flydroxyl-capped poly (ethylene-co-butylene), a so-called Kraton, was converted into a macroinitiator via esterification with 2-bromopropionyl chloride, and then employed for the block copolymerizations of styrene and />acetoxystyrene (B-116 and B-117).403 A similar method is utilized for B-l 18 to B-121 where the esterification is with 2-bromoisobutyroyl bromide.341 A commercially available polybutadiene is also employed for B-122 via a similar transformation into the chloroacetyl group.404... 

The free radical polymerization of styrene initialized by iniferter is influenced by chemical binding of iniferter on the surface of the silica." This reaction is used for grafting the polymer onto the surface of the silica. A similar approach is used when carbon whisker is incorporated during the graft-polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Depending on how the whisker is prepared, surface conversion can be increased up to twelve times compared to a polymerization with no whisker present. The addition of graphite to the poly esterification reaction doubles the molecular weight of the polymer. ... 

Diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition of a polymer-supported cyclic chiral enone with ethylene has been reported (Scheme 12.33) [43]. The auxiliary was derived from (-)-8-(p-methoxyphenyl) menthol (87). Protection of the secondary alcohol and demethylation were carried out to give (-)-8-(p-hydroxyphenyl)menthyl acetate (88). An alkyl linker was introduced and finally loaded to poly (ethylene glycol) grafted Wang resin. Deprotection of the alcohol functionality was followed by esterification with cyclohexen-3-one-l-carboxylic acid to provide the chiral enone 89. The photochemical reaction with ethylene was performed by irradiating with light (k > 280 nm). Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or aqueous hydrolysis with... 

Formation of diallyl phthalate prepolymers from preformed poly(monoallyl phthalates) by esterification with allyl alcohol in benzene solution, catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid [125]. 

Esterification with poly(carboxylic anhydrides) can be controlled to minimize diesterification and crosslinking to produce carboxylated cellulosic esters. Eastman Kodak in a recent patent claimed the succinylation of cellulose to different degrees 1 per 3 anhydroglucose rings [182] and 1 per 2 rings [183]. Henkel [184] also has a patent for a surfactant by the esterification of cellulose with alkenylsuccinic anhydride, presumably substitution degree governs the hydrophile-hydrophobe balance of the product and its surfactant properties. 

Yuan et al. [165] reported the synthesis of well-defined dendrimer-star, block-comb polymers by the combination of living ring-opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization on the basis of a dendrimer polyester. Star-shaped dendrimer PCLs were synthesized by the bulk polymerization of e-caprolactone with a dendrimer initiator. The dendrimer PCLs tiien were converted into macroinitiators via esterification with 2-bromopropionyl bromide. And the star-block copolymer dendrimer poly(s-caprolactone)-block-poly(2-hydroxyethyl... 

Today the installed hydroformylation capacity worldwide is more than 7.5 Mio tons per year (Baerns et al., 2006). The most important feedstock is propene, with the products n-butyraldehyde and iso-butyraldehyde (Scheme 6.14.3). The most important single product from propene hydroformylation is 2-ethyl-l-hexanol (>50% of the n-butyraldehyde production), the aldol condensation product obtained from n-butanal, which is an important plasticizer alcohol. After esterification with phthalic anhydride, dioctyl phthalates plasticizers are obtained that are used mainly in poly(vinyl chloride) plastics.
