摘要:
THE DISCLOSURE IS OF ETHYLENICALLY-UNSATURATED CYCLIC NITRILE COMPOUNDS OF THE FORMULA
((-O-X-O-N=)>C-)(X+1)-Y
WHEREIN X IS A THIONYL, CARBONYL OR OXALYL GROUP, Y IS AN ADDITION-POLYMERIZABLE, ETHYLENICALLY-UNSATURATED GROUP (E.G.,VINYL), AND X IS 0 OR 1. THE COMPOUNDS MAY BE POLYMERIZED TO FORM HOMOPOLYMERS OR ADDITION POLYMERS WITH ETHYLENICALLY-UNSATURATED POLYMERIZABLE MONOMERS (E.G. STYRENE).
WHEREIN R IS AN AROMATIC HYDROCARBON RADICAL OF 1 TO 3 AROMATIC RINGS WHICH CAN BE SUBSTITUTED WITH, FOR INSTANCE, HALOGEN, NITRO, OR ALKOXY, E.G., METHOXY, GROUPS EXCEPT THAT WHEN R IS MONOCYCLIC, R IS SUBSTITUTED ON THE RING WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED GROUPS. THE COMPOUNDS CAN BE MADE BY REACTING THE CORRESPONDING HYDROXAMIC ACIDS AND PHOSGENE.
WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER OF 1 TO 3 AND A IS AROMATIC HYDROCARBON OF UP TO ABOUT 30 CARBON ATOMS AND OF 2 TO 3 MONOCYCLIC AROMATIC RINGS OR ONE FUSED BICYCLIC AROMATIC RING OR ONE FUSED TRICYCLIC AROMATIC RING. THE COMPOUNDS CAN BE MADE BY REACTING THE CORRESPONDING HYDROXAMIC ACIDS AND PHOSGENE. THE COMPOUNDS ARE USEFUL AS, INTER ALIA, AROMATIC POLYISOCYANATE GENERATORS AND HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OVER CONVENTIONAL AROMATIC POLYISOCYANATES IN THAT THEY CAN BE EASILY HANDLED AND STORED.
