Polymer cinnamaldehyde

Quinone methides play an important role in lignification. They are produced directly, as intermediates, when lignin monomers, be they hydroxycinnamyl alcohols, hydroxy-cinnamaldehydes, or hydroxycinnamates, couple or cross-couple at their 8- positions. A variety of postcoupling quinone methide rearomatization reactions leads to an array of structures in the complex lignin polymer (Fig. 12.2).

With respect to the formation of polymers, the Knoevenagel condensation is usually employed to prepare the monomere. " Thus, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde is condensed with methyl cyanoacetate to give the corresponding Knoevenagel product (350), which is copolymerized with tere-phthalate and ethylene glycol to give a brilliant yellow polyester. On the other hand, the Knoevenagel... 

Tricarbonyliron diene complexes have found many uses in synthetic chemistry but their synthesis is often not easy. Knolker has developed a range of tricarbonyl(7] -l-aza-l,3-butadiene) iron complexes that are excellent transfer agents for the Fe(CO)3 complexation of 1,3-dienes, and showed their versatility. As an extension to this work, Knolker and Gonser have prepared a polymer-supported l-aza-l,3-butadiene 321 by reaction of Merrifield s resin with phenolic l-aza-l,3-butadiene 320, formed from cinnamaldehyde and /> ra-hydroxyaniline (Scheme 105). The corresponding tricarbonyl iron complex 322 was formed by treatment of 321 with an excess of Fe2(CO)9 in THF using ultrasound. The iron complex was subsequently used efficiently as a transfer agent for the tricarbonyliron complexation of 1,3-dienes. 

Pihko and co-workers reported asymmetric organocatalytic Diels-Alder reactions on solid support (JandaJel -supported or n-propyl-functionalized silica gel) with the advantage of easy recovery and reuse, Scheme 3.22 [36]. For example, synthesized polymer- and siUca-supported chiral imidazolidinone catalysts 55 and 56 were demonstrated to be efficient catalyst for the enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene and cinnamaldehyde. 

Polymer-immobilized bimetallic Pt-Co colloids exhibit high selectivity (up to 99.8%) in the reaction of hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to the corresponding alcohol. The application of polymer-protected nanoparticles is expected to lead to the discovery of new specific effects in catalysis. The cluster Pfti5(CO)3o] fixed on Sephadex is used to catalyze of the hydrogenation of selective redox-active cofactors. ... 

Formaldehyde is probably the best-known carbonyl compound. Large quantities are made into polymers such as Bakelite, Formica, and Melmac. Since formaldehyde has been cited as a probable carcinogen, its use in preserving biological specimens has virtually vanished. Acetaldehyde (ethanal) is used in manufacturing organic compounds such as acetic acid and ethyl acetate. Other aldehydes you have probably encountered are benzaldehyde (almond flavor), cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon flavor), and vanillin (vanilla flavor) (Fig. 21.26).

Phenylpropane derivatives possess the C skeleton of phenylpropane, i.e. an aromatic system to which a side chain of three C atoms is attached. Examples of these are cinnamic acids, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, coumarins, and, also, the high polymer lignin.
