摘要:
A process for forming 4-ketocyclopentene and substituted 4-ketocyclopentene compounds starting from the corresponding 1-carbohydroxarbyloxy-2-keto-4-hydroxy-5-cyclopentene by reduction followed by decarboxylation. The ketone may thereafter be converted to a cyclopentadiene compound by reducing the ketone to form an alcohol, replacing the hydroxyl functionality of the alcohol under substitution conditions with a leaving group, and deprotonating the resulting product under base induced elimination conditions to form the cyclopentadiene compound. Alternatively functionalized cyclopentadienyl compounds can be produced without isolation of an unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl compound by combining the elimination and deprotonation steps with a replacement step in a single unit operation.

摘要:
Group 4 metal complexes comprising a cyclopentaphenanthreneyl ligand, catalytic derivatives thereof and their use as olefin polymerization catalysts, especially for the copolymerization of ethylene and a vinylaromatic monomer are disclosed. The resulting copolymers are uniform, pseudo-random copolymers of ethylene and a vinylaromatic monomer having a cluster index, CIES less than 1.0 and a polymerized vinylaromatic monomer content less than 50 mole percent.
摘要:
Blends of polymeric materials comprising (A) from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of at least one interpolymer containing (1) from about 1 to about 65 mole percent of (a) at least one vinylidene aromatic monomer, or (b) at least one hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomer, or (c) a combination of at least one vinylidene aromatic monomer and at least one hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomer, and (2) from about 35 to about 99 mole percent of at least one aliphatic α-olefin having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms; and (B) from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of at least one homopolymer or interpolymer of one or more vinylidene aromatic monomers and/or one or more hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomers. These blends have been observed to possess improved properties when compared to the individual polymers comprising the blend and to provide materials with enhanced processability and temperature ranges of performance.
摘要:
Boratabenzene cocatalysts, especially novel pentafluorophenyl boratabenzenes, are useful cocatalysts or activators with metallocenes. They are less expensive than prior art activators, are soluble and offer more irreversible reactions. Compositions comprise at least one metallocene catalyst and at least one dihydroboratabenzene or anion thereof. Processes include polymerizations with metallocenes in the presence of boratabenzene cocatalyst and activation process including bulk electrolysis techniques.
