Maleimides have three principal reaction pathways. These are radical addition to vinyl compounds the Michael addition with compounds having active hydrogens and the Diels-Alder reaction with dienes (Fig. 3). Any of the three can be tools for forming thermosetting adhesives. 

In general, hydrogenolysis of vinylic compounds is favored by platinum and hydrogenation by ruthenium and rhodium 31,55,59,72,106). In the reduction of 4-methyl-1-cyclohexenyl ether, the order of decreasing hydrogenolysis to give methylcyclohexane was established as Pt Ir > Rh > Os Ru = Pd (52). 

As with vinyl compounds, the outcome of an allylic hydrogenation is the resultant of two competing reactions. 

The magnitude of the above-mentioned shifts of the ortho absorptions by various substituents (ortho shift) lies between the relatively large shifts of the hydrogen atoms cis to the substituents in vinyl compounds and the smaller ortho shifts of the usual benzene derivatives. The ortho shifts in the [2.2]paracyclophane system are thus attributed to an increased double-bond character in the deformed benzene rings, where canonical structures such as 77 could possibly contribute to stabilization of the molecule. 

On the other hand, Livingston and Zeldes (25, 26) have recently developed a flow technique combined with ultraviolet irradiation to study short-lived radicals in solution. They recorded well resolved ESR spectra of radicals obtained from a number of alcohols by hydrogen abstraction using H202 as photosensitizer. No study, however, on the addition reaction to vinyl compounds has yet been reported. 

The mode of formation of the vinyl compound in the olefin coupling reaction is unknown. It could be prepared by substitution of a vinyl hydrogen by oxidative addition, followed by reductive elimination ... 

In vinyl compound polymerization of vinyl acetate, alcohol, bromide, chloride, or carbonate, ascorbic acid can be a component of the polymerization mixture (733-749). Activators for the polymerization have been acriflavine (734), other photosensitive dye compounds (737,738), hydrogen peroxides (740,741,742), potassium peroxydisulfate (743), ferrous sulfate, and acyl sulfonyl peroxides (747). Nagabhooshanam and Santappa (748) reported on dye sensitized photopolymerization of vinyl monomers in the presence of ascorbic acid-sodium hydrogen orthophosphate complex. Another combination is vinyl chloride with cyclo-hexanesulfonyl acetyl peroxide with ascorbic acid, iron sulfate, and an alcohol (749). Use of low temperature conditions in emulsion polymerization, with ascorbic acid, is mentioned (750,751). Clarity of color is important and impact-resistant, clear, moldable polyvinyl chloride can be prepared with ascorbic acid as an acid catalyst (752) in the formulation.
