The structures of these ylide polymers were determined and confirmed by IR and NMR spectra. These were the first stable sulfonium ylide polymers reported in the literature. They are very important for such industrial uses as ion-exchange resins, polymer supports, peptide synthesis, polymeric reagent, and polyelectrolytes. Also in 1977, Hass and Moreau [60] found that when poly(4-vinylpyridine) was quaternized with bromomalonamide, two polymeric quaternary salts resulted. These polyelectrolyte products were subjected to thermal decyana-tion at 7200°C to give isocyanic acid or its isomer, cyanic acid. The addition of base to the solution of polyelectro-lyte in water gave a yellow polymeric ylide. 

Macromolecular Substitution Route. The current surge in poly-phosphazene research Is mainly a result of the development in the mid 1960 s (2-4) of a substitutive route to the synthesis of organo phosphazene high polymers. Before that time, only a sporadic interest in the subject existed because the known polymers, cross linked poly(dihalophosphazenes), (1,5) were insoluble and hydrolytically unstable. 

A method for microwave-assisted transesterifications has been described by Van-den Eynde and Rutot [73], The authors investigated the microwave-mediated deriva-tization of poly(styrene-co-allyl alcohol) as a key step in the polymer-assisted synthesis of heterocycles. Several /i-ketoesters were employed in this procedure and multigram quantities of products were obtained when neat mixtures of the reagents in open vessels were subjected to microwave irradiation utilizing a domestic micro-wave oven (Scheme 7.65). The successful derivatization of the polymer was confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic analyses. The soluble supports... 

Since their original synthesis by Hunter in 1917 ( ) the poly (halophenyleneoxides) have been the subject of sporadic interest in a number of laboratories (3, j4, 1). In spite of their... 

The development of RuO as a aT-dihydroxylation catalyst is a relatively new and potentially important area. Until recently OsO has been the reagent of choice for this, but use of the cheaper RuO may well become competitive, though stringent reaction conditions need to be used because RuO is so much more powerful an oxidant than OsO. Reactions are much faster than for OsO, but so-called flash dihydroxylations in which low temperatures are used have been developed, and are the subject of much current research. There are several reviews including mechanistic aspects [7-9] and one on the synthesis of poly oxygenated steroids [6]. The scope and limitations of the procedure have been discussed [155, 156]. 

First discovered by Moiseev et a/.,416 the palladium-catalyzed acetoxylation of ethylene to vinyl acetate has been the subject of very active investigations, particularly in industry, as shown by the considerable number of patents existing in this area. Vinyl acetate is an extremely important petrochemical product which is used for the synthesis of polymers such as poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol). Most of its annual production ( 2.6 Mt) results from the acetoxylation of ethylene (equation 160). 

The synthesis and characterization of the hydrogenation product of polystyrene (PS), poly(cyclohexylethylene) (PCHE), have been the subject of persistent research efforts. The earliest published report on this material dates to 1929, with new work appearing steadily up to the present. The primary motivation for saturating the phenyl rings in polystyrene is the potential to improve the stability of polystyrene with respect to oxidative and radiation-induced degradation. It has now also been established that the hydrogenation of polystyrene leads to a substantial increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg). 

The tetrakis(methylidene)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (527) offers an interesting route to linear poly-annulated ring systems, e.g. 4Klemethoxydaunomycinone (641), via a sequence of two Diels-Alder reactions (Scheme 124). Monoadduct (528) could be isolated and subjected to the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of benzyne. An alternative synthesis of anthracyclinone analogs starts with the Diels-Alder addition of 3-methoxybenzyne to a derivative of the bis-cisoid tetraene (527). ... 

Within each of the two classical domains, bacteria and eucarya, reciprocal combinations of ribosomal subunits from distantly related organisms yield synthetically active hybrid ribosomes [174-176], In contrast, formation of hybrid particles from eucaryal and bacterial ribosomal subunits appears to be subject to severe constraints [174], One case of hybrid monosome formation from subunits of bacterial E. coli) and eucaryal ribosomes Artemia salina) has been reported by Boublik et al. [177] hybrid ribosomes (73S), however, were assembled only from Artemia 40S subunits and E. coli SOS subunits, and only at levels (30mM) considerably higher -about twofold - than those (ISIS mM) normally required for poly(U)-directed poly(Phe) synthesis in both bacterial and eucaryal cell-free systems. 

The reaction between the acid chloride of chromone-2-carboxylic acid and ethyl ethoxymagnesioacetoacetate probably leads to the expected fi-diketone which enolizes and cyclizes spontaneously to spirofuranone(52).127 A different approach was made by Hungarian workers in their synthesis of tachrosin (53), an unusual kind of flavone isolated from Tephrosia poly-stachyoides and one of the earliest natural furanones to be isolated. They subjected an unsaturated ketone (Scheme 32) to oxidative rearrangement by thallium(III) salts, a reaction well known in chalcone chemistry, and eliminated methanol from the product to obtain the necessary starting material.128...
