Some of the important results for butadiene are summarized in Table XV. The most efficient system identified was for cis-polymerization using 1 1 molar ratio of (XXI) with trifluoroacetic acid. An even more remarkable observation, however, was the almost complete suppression of the cis-polymerization in favor of trans-polymerization processes on addition of triphenylphosphite to the mixture of (XXI) and trifluoroacetic acid. More recently (89), Durand and Dawans have synthesized the trifluoroacetates (XXIII) where R = H and C9H15, and these were shown to be catalytically active as well as exhibiting some specificity in polymerization of butadiene and isoprene. 

With this information it is now possible to derive values of h and ki from the appropriate slope and intercept in Fig. 13 with the aid of Eq. (43). All these constants are listed in Table XXIII, together with the other constants derived above. In Table XXIII data are also given for the polymerization process at 40°C but is probably less accurate since fewer measurements of Pn and Q were obtained at this temperature. The values for the energy of activation obtained for the termination constants therefore can only be considered approximate. It is evident from these, however, that because kt increases more rapidly with temperature than kiKi or kiK2 that both D ] and Pn will decrease with increasing temperature. This is not clear from the experimental data because the temperature difference is too small although the trend is discernible. It also follows from Eq. (40) that since R is the product of two terms, fc2 which increases with temperature and 5° [E ] which decreases with increasing temperature, the rate versus temperature curve will have a maximum.

Given the above analysis and also the high cost of purchasing relatively small quantities of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (XXIII, AIC), we in Chemical Development were given the backing to explore other possibilities and identify a safer, lower-cost route to Temozolomide that would avoid the hazards and preferably require conventional rather than specialist equipment. Another requirement, made necessary by the heavy workload in our New Jersey Chemical Development operation, was that we find an outside partner to carry out the process exploration work with us. 

The probabilities of the various primary processes are summarized in Table XXIII. 

The branching process and the formation of closed loops can continue much further than it is carried in cyclohexane. The ultimate in this line is the diamond. This is the structure obtained when every carbon is joined tetrahedrally to four other carbons. It makes a continuous lattice filling space, as shown in Fig. XXV-6, which is essentially the same as the zincblende structure of Fig. XXIII-3 except that it is formed of only one type of atom. The type of rigidity present in cyclohexane is found here in its most extreme form. The structure is braced in every direction, and the result is that diamond is the hardest and most rigid material known. One can trace out hexagons like cyclohexane in the... 

The final compound to be discussed in this section is 5-oxocanone, (XXIII), a molecule which has a potential transannular interaction of the ether oxygen with the carbonyl group.The proton nmr spectrum shows two processes with free energies of activation of 9.0 and 7.8 kcal/mole. The nmr spectrum shows only a single process, which corresponds to the... 

Species profiles have not been measured directly for dry CO/air or CO/O2 flames in the same way as they have for hydrogen flames. Several investigations, however, have been concerned with the oxidation of carbon monoxide in lean hydrocarbon flames (e.g. refs. 406, 413, 417, 429) or in moist CO flames flames of H2 /CO mixtures in air [167, 406, 414, 418] or O2 [523]. The interest in the oxidation in hydrocarbon flames has arisen since the overall reaction in such flames is a two stage process. In the first rapid stage (the main flame reaction zone) the hydrocarbon is essentially converted to CO and water, with traces of hydrogen also appearing. The second, more extended, stage is devoted to radical recombination and to the slower oxidation of CO, predominantly by reaction (xxiii). 

An economical evaluation of phenol processes is complicated by the number and variety of competing processes. Table XXII compares some key features of various phenol processes, based on two excellent, recent reviews (4,15). Hay et al. (15) point out that synthetic phenol processes currently account for 98% of the phenol produced in the United States and Canada. The various phenol processes currently used are listed in Table XXIII. An economic comparison between a number of phenol processes is given in Table XXIV. Based on this table, the Raschig, Cumene, and Dow toluene processes are equivalent with regard to return price. Therefore, selection must be made on the basis of other factors, such as value of intermediates and by-products, ease of operation, and initial investment.
