Intermediate polymer

Diesters. Many of the diester derivatives are commercially important. The diesters are important plasticizers, polymer intermediates, and synthetic lubricants. The diesters of azelaic and sebacic acids are useflil as monomeric plasticizing agents these perform weU at low temperatures and are less water-soluble and less volatile than are diesters of adipic acid. Azelate diesters, eg, di- -hexyl, di(2-ethylhexyl), and dibutyl, are useflil plasticizing agents for poly(vinyl chloride), synthetic mbbers, nitroceUulose, and other derivatized ceUuloses (104). The di-hexyl azelates and dibutyl sebacate are sanctioned by the U.S. Food and Dmg Administration for use in poly(vinyl chloride) films and in other plastics with direct contact to food. The di(2-ethylhexyl) and dibenzyl sebacates are also valuable plasticizers. Monomeric plasticizers have also been prepared from other diacids, notably dodecanedioic, brassyflc, and 8-eth5lhexadecanedioic (88), but these have not enjoyed the commercialization of the sebacic and azelaic diesters.

Chemical reactions of polymer intermediate during polymerisation and/or cross-linking. This is important with polyurethanes. 

Ring-fluonnated aromatics have found wide applications in pharmaceuticals, crop protection chemicals, polymer intermediates, liquid crystals, etc [10] Routes based on aromatic amines represent one of the major synthetic approaches to these compounds The scope and the techniques have been sufficiently described in reviews [//, I2 and monographs [13, 14, fi] Therefore, only reactions and techniques published after 1971 are discussed...

Pyrrolidones fit well into the bio-refinery concept since they may be produced in a scheme beginning with the fermentation of a portion of the bio-refineiy s sugar product into succinate. Pyrrolidones are a class of industrially important chemicals with a variety of uses including polymer intermediates, cleaners, and green solvents which can replace hazardous chlorinated compounds. 

A range of reactions of 2-chlorocyclohexyl(dichloro)phosphine (60) with alcohols and epoxides has been described, largely with a view to the synthesis of polymer intermediates and flame-retardants.50 The copolymerization of dichloro(phenyl)-phosphine with styrene and vinyl butyl ether in the presence of maleic anhydride has been studied.61...

In some systems, the same polymer may be produced from different monomers, e.g., plastic sulfur can be formed by polymerizing SB as well as S8 molecules. In such systems, a polymer may be stable with respect to one monomer but labile with respect to another one. For example, linear siloxane (-Me2SiO-) , which could be formed from the cyclic tetramer (-Me2SiO-)4, decomposes into the cyclic trimer (-Me2SiO-)3 and the reaction 3 (-MegSiO-)4-> 4 (-Me2SiO-)3 proceeds, therefore, through a polymer intermediate. 

By performing the oxidation at elevated temperatures the phenols which would ordinarily yield polymers are converted instead to diphenoquinones. These quinones are readily reduced to the corresponding hydroquinones, compounds which promise to be useful as antioxidants and polymer intermediates. 

As might be expected, there are polymers intermediate between the crystalline and glassy ones. For example, polyvinylchloride shows enough Older to prevent its classification as glassy, but not enough to be considered crystalline. 

The important polymer intermediate bis-phenol A [2,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-phenyI)propane] used, among other things, in epoxy resins, is made by an acid-induced condensation of 2-propanone and benzenol. Write a stepwise mechanism for this reaction that is consistent with the nature of the reactants and the products. 

The demand for nitrogen in a chemically fixed form (as opposed to elemental nitrogen gas) drives a huge international industry that encompasses the production of seven key chemical nitrogen products ammonia, urea, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, nitrogen solutions, ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphates. Such nitrogen products had a total worldwide annual commercial value of about US 50 billion in 1996. The cornerstone of this industry is ammonia. Virtually all ammonia is produced in anhydrous form via the Haber process (as described in Chapter 2). Anhydrous ammonia is the basic raw material in a host of applications and in the manufacture of fertilizers, livestock feeds, commercial and military explosives, polymer intermediates, and miscellaneous chemicals35.
