Tri-substituted ethylenes

Tri-substituted ethylenes. RiR2C=CHR3. With tri-substitution at the double bond the specificity of the CH out-of-plane deformation is much reduced, and the frequency shows more

The Preparation of Mono-, 1,1-Di-, trans- 1,2-Di- and Tri-Substituted Ethylenes by Benzotriazole Methodology <2001SL458> ... 

Hydrogenation of a olefines, as well as internal and cyclic olefines, is possible. However the catalyst is very sensitive to the olefin structure and, for example, tri-substituted ethylenic derivatives are hardly reduced. 

Monomer-radical reaction rates are also influenced by steric hindrance. The effect of steric hindrance in reducing monomer reactivity can be illustrated by considering the copolymerization reaction rate constants (ku) for di- and tri-substituted ethylene. Table 8.4 lists some of these values. 

Hall and Ykman have studied the reactions of a series of electron-deficient tri-substituted ethylenes (33) with a series of electron-rich olefins (34). Rates of reaction increase sharply with increasing electronic imbalance between the reaction partners. The kinetically favoured products are cyclobutanes, but these isomerize or undergo cycloreversion in polar solvents or on heating, behaviour which is consistent with the intermediacy of zwitterionic intermediates. Olefin metathesis is observed when the electronic imbalance is extreme. 

Tolman has shown that the equilibrium constants for the reactions of 38 substituted ethylenes with Ni[P(0-o-tolyls)]3 in benzene, to form (ENE)bis-(tri-o-tolylphosphite)nickel complexes, is sensitive to the ethylene s structure, eqn. (2) (ref. 7). Values of Ki at 25° vary from 10 for cyclohexene to... 

Incompatible Mixtures. Even at very low levels, many of the poly-ether additives led to incompatible mixtures. These blends were not successfully milled to a smooth sheet under any conditions tried. Instead, a mass of crumbs was obtained. These crumbs could be molded into a coherent mass, but the physical properties were poor. For example, addition of 8.75 parts of polybutene-1 oxide to Masterbatch B for CPVC alone gave a brittle, free-flowing material with these properties notched Izod impact strength, 0.7 lb/in notch, flow rate 452 g/10 min. This is a particularly interesting result, since PBO has the same chemical formula as PTHF but structurally is a substituted ethylene oxide polymer rather than a linear homopolymer. No further studies were made of such blends. 

In the series of the further substituted ethylene derivatives, di-, tri- and tetra-chloroethylenes, the double-bond character of each C—Cl bond becomes smaller but that of the C =C bond decreases further. This appears from the increase of the C—Cl distance to 1.73 A in C2C14 and the further decrease of the C=C frequency. 

SCHEME 18.30 Proposed mechanism of the n-BuLi catalyzed dehydrocoupling of tris(hydridosilyl-ethylene)boranes and ammonia. (1) deprotonation with formation of an amide, (2) substitution of silicon-bonded hydride with amide, (3) polymerization through condensation. 

On the other hand, cis or trans and cyclic 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes have been well-known till 1980 to be not homopolymerized with a radical initiator owing to the much more increased steric effect of the substituents except for a few exceptions, e.g., fluoro-substituted ethylenes and cyclic derivatives, vinylene carbonate (VCa), maleic anhydride (MAn), yV-substituted maleimides (RMI), and acenaphthylene. However, if 1,2-disubstituted and tri- or tetra-substituted ethylenes can homopolymerize, the polymers with a substituted polymethylene structure, which is different from the above polyethylenes, would be obtained (eqs. 1 and 2), i.e., the polymers would be less flexible (more rigid), and have higher glass transition temperatures than those for the polyethylenes, although their processabilities would decrease. 

The C=C stretching frequency near 1640 cm" in vinyl hydrocarbons is a medium intensity band which becomes inactive in the infrared region in a symmetrical trans- or symmetrical tetrasubstituted double bond compound, both of which have centers of symmetry. Even when the substituents are not exactly alike in trans-md tetrasubstituted olefins, the infrared absorption may be quite weak. These double bond vibrations all appear strongly in the Raman effect, however, where the C=C stretch vibration in all types of ethylenes gives rise to a strong Raman band in the region 1680-1630 cm The trans, tri, and tetra alkyl-substituted ethylenes appear at 1680-1665 cm which are strong in Raman but weak or absent in the infrared. The cis, or... 

Virtually all of the organo derivatives of CA are produced by reactions characteristic of a cycHc imide, wherein isocyanurate nitrogen (frequendy as the anion) nucleophilically attacks a positively polarized carbon of the second reactant. Cyanuric acid and ethylene oxide react neady quantitatively at 100°C to form tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate [839-90-7] (THEIC) (48—52). Substitution of propylene oxide yields the hydroxypropyl analogue (48,49). At elevated temperatures (- 200° C). CA and alkylene oxides react in inert solvent to give A/-hydroxyalkyloxazohdones in approximately 70% yield (53). Alternatively, THEIC can be prepared by reaction of CA and 2-chloroethanol in aqueous caustic (52). THEIC can react further via its hydroxyl fiinctionahty to form esters, ethers, urethanes, phosphites, etc (54). Reaction of CA with epichlorohydrin in alkaline dioxane solution gives... 

The NADH- and oxygen-dependent microsomal metabolism of the di-, tri- and tetraethyl substituted derivatives of germanium, tin and lead was shown to give rise to ethylene as a major product and ethane as a minor product27. These reactions were shown to be catalyzed by the liver microsomal fractions. 

A new development in silsesquioxane ehemistry is the eombination of sil-sesquioxanes with cyclopentadienyl-type ligands. Reeently, several synthetie routes leading to silsesquioxane-tethered fluorene ligands have been developed. The scenario is illustrated in Seheme 47. A straightforward aeeess to the new ligand 140 involves the 1 1 reaction of 2 with 9-triethoxysilylmethylfluorene. Alternatively, the chloromethyl-substituted c/oxo-silsesquioxane derivative 141 can be prepared first and treated subsequently with lithium fluorenide to afford 140. Compound 141 has been used as starting material for the preparation of the trimethylsilyl and tri-methylstannyl derivatives 142 and 143, respeetively, as well as the novel zirconoeene complex 144. When activated with MAO (methylalumoxane), 144 yields an active ethylene polymerization system.
