Two Additional Functional Groups

One or two additional functional groups introduced via other a-hydrosulfide bolaamphiphiles can be characterized by measurements of the contact angle 0a of water and hexadecane (= HD) droplets, depending on the hydrophobicity and the position of the end groups (Table 1). They also attest to the short-range... 

The polymer repeat unit arises from reacting together two different functional groups which usually originate on different monomers. In this case the repeat unit is different from either of the monomers. In addition, small molecules are often eliminated during the condensation reaction. Note the words usual and often in the previous statements exceptions to both statements are easily found. 

The dimensionless relations are usually indicated in either of two forms, each yielding identical resiilts. The preferred form is that suggested by Colburn ran.s. Am. In.st. Chem. Eng., 29, 174—210 (1933)]. It relates, primarily, three dimensionless groups the Stanton number h/cQ, the Prandtl number c Jk, and the Reynolds number DG/[L. For more accurate correlation of data (at Reynolds number <10,000), two additional dimensionless groups are used ratio of length to diameter L/D and ratio of viscosity at wall (or surface) temperature to viscosity at bulk temperature. Colburn showed that the product of the Stanton number and the two-thirds power of the Prandtl number (and, in addition, power functions of L/D and for Reynolds number <10,000) is approximately equal to half of the Fanning friction fac tor//2. This produc t is called the Colburn j factor. Since the Colburn type of equation relates heat transfer and fluid friction, it has greater utility than other expressions for the heat-transfer coefficient. 

A strikingly different behavior was found with formyl ester 3 which bears two additional methyl groups a to the aldehyde functionality. In this case, addition of dibutylcuprate leads to the predominant formation of the /ranv-disubstituted y-lactone 441. 

In addition to the substituents listed in Scheme 1, chiral groups may be introduced and unsymmetrically substituted amidinate anions are also possible. The amidinate anions may also contain additional functional groups, or two such anions can be linked with or without a suitable spacer unit. Yet another variety comprises the amidinate ligands being part of an organic ring system. All these aspects will be covered in the present review. 

An enantioselective catalyst must fulfill two functions (1) activate the different reactants (activation) and (2) control the stereochemical outcome of the reaction (controlling function). As an accepted general model, it is postulated that this control is achieved by specific interactions between the active centers of the catalyst, the adsorbed substrates, and the adsorbed chiral auxiliary (Figure 14.4). Experience has shown that most substrates that can be transformed in useful enantiomers have an additional functional group that can interact with the chiral active center. 

Michael addition reactions are particularly useful when linear aliphatic bis-nitramines are used because the products contain two terminal functional groups like in the diester (182). The terminal functionality of such products can be used, or modified by simple functional group conversion, to provide oligomers for the synthesis of energetic polymers such oligomers often use terminal alcohol, isocyanate or carboxy functionality for this purpose. 

A new methodology for the construction of novel and uniquely shaped 3-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octan-4-one derivatives 166 by combining the Ugi multi-component reaction with [2 + 2] enone-olefin photochemical transformations was recently reported [132] (Fig. 32). The additional functional groups are in this case an enone (165) and a C=C double bond. Although the overall sequence is capable of creating up to five stereocentres, in most cases only two diastereomers are observed, which are epimeric at the exocyclic stereogenic centre. 

Block copolymers are also produced using such macromers. Again, the various units of the polymer can be designed to act as needed with hard or/soft, or hydrophilic or hydrophobic, or other combinations. In addition, these macromers generally have two active functional groups that allow polymerization to occur. 

The cyanohydrin not only adds an additional C at the site of the C==0 but also introduces two new functional groups, OH and CN. which can be used to introduce other functional groups. The OH can be used to form an alkene (C=C), an ether (—RO), or a halogen compound (C—X) the C N can be reduced to an amine (CHjNHj), be hydrolyzed to a carboxyl (COOH) group, or react with Grignard reagents if the OH is protected. 

The extent of acetylene insertion can be limited by the control of reaction conditions, such as the ratio of reactant acetylene to the number of Si-Si bonds or reaction time. In addition, if an organic substrate with two alkyne functional groups is used, cross-linked polymers are formed. Other palla-... 

Annulation reactions, in which thieno[2,3-c]pyridines and, in particular, tetra-hydrothienopyridines of general formula 229, serve as building blocks, are of considerable interest. This choice is associated primarily with the ease of preparation of these compounds by the Gewald reaction, as well as with the presence of two vicinal functional groups, favorable for the formation of additional rings. 

An addition reaction is a reaction in which two atoms or ions react with a double bond of an alkene, forming a compound with two new functional groups bonded to the carbons of the original double bond. In these reactions, the existing pi bond is broken and in its place, sigma bonds form to two new atoms. 

The p-cyanophenol derivative 57 was selectively transformed into the linear tricyclic cyclobutene derivative 58 (Scheme 5.11, reaction 24) [57]. The hydroxyace-tophenone derivative 59, carrying two additional methyl groups at the benzene ring, yields selectively the angular tricyclic cyclobutene derivative 60 (reaction 25) [58]. It should be stressed here that the back-reaction to the corresponding cyclooctatriene compound is inhibited by the methyl substituent at the cyclobutene moiety of 60. Chiral induction was performed with derivatives carrying a chiral ester or amide function on the hydroxyacetophenone ring [59]. 

Besides addition polymerization, the other general way to prepare polymers is known as condensation polymerization or step growth polymerization. Much of the pioneering work on condensation polymerization was conducted by Wallace Carothers while he was employed by DuPont. He recognized that many natural polymers are formed from monomers with two reactive functional groups. For example, proteins are polymers of amino acids, which contain both amine and carboxylic acid groups. The formation of amide bonds is used to connect one monomer to another. Carothers s attempts to imitate nature led to a whole industry based on condensation polymerization. 

In general, carbonyl compounds do not polymerize by themselves. It is only the exceptional reactivity of formaldehyde as an electrophile that allows repeated nucleophilic addition of hemiacetal intermediates. A more common way to polymerize carbonyl compounds is to use two different functional groups that react together by carbonyl substitution to form a stable functional group such as an amide or an ester. Nylon is just such a polymer.
