摘要:
4-Sulfonamidophenyl hydrazines are prepared by reaction between the hydrazine, optionally substituted, and the corresponding 4-substituted benzenesulfonamides, where the 4-substitution is an appropriate leaving group, in the presence of water and the absence of dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent. The result is a product of unusually high purity.

Diazomethane is prepared in a batch process on a scale of at least 50 gram-moles per batch, from an N-methyl-N-nitroso amine in an organic solvent and an inorganic base in an aqueous solution by the use of a phase transfer catalyst and by controlling the choice of solvent, reagent concentrations, addition rate and reaction temperature to cause codistillation of the product and the organic solvent in such a manner that the concentration of diazomethane in both liquid and vapor phases are controlled within limits that will prevent detonation of the diazomethane.
摘要:
Diazomethane is produced in a continuous process with little or no explosion hazard, by dissolving an N-methyl-N-nitroso amine in a mixture of a water-miscible organic solvent that dissolves the N-methyl-N-nitroso amine and a water-immiscible organic solvent that dissolves diazomethane, and combining a stream of this solution with a stream of an aqueous inorganic base, allowing the aqueous and organic phases to settle after a suitable residence time, and phase separating the phases, all on a continuous basis. When using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea as the amine, the diazomethane process is preceded by a continuous nitrosation process involving combining aqueous solutions of methyl urea and a nitrite salt with an organic solution of a mineral or organic acid, the solvent in the organic solution being a mixture of the two organic solvents referred to above, allowing the aqueous and organic phases to settle after a suitable residence time, and phase separating the phases, all on a continuous basis. The resulting organic phase is continuously fed to the diazomethane stages described above.

Alkyl-substituted polyarenes of the formula ##STR1## in which R is alkyl and Ar.sub.res is an aryl residue, are prepared from aryl ketones by reaction of the latter with 1-cyclohexenyloxytrimethylsilane in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. When R is methyl and Ar.sub.res is a naphthyl residue, the reaction serves as a step in a reaction scheme leading to crisnatol mesylate, a pharmaceutical useful in the treatment of brain cancer.

3-Azidomethyl-3-nitratomethyloxetane, a novel oxetane compound, is used as a monomer for the formation of homopolymers and copolymers with other known energetic oxetane monomers. The polyethers of the present invention can be subsequently cured to form elastomers suitable for use as energetic binders in propellant formulations or the like.
摘要:
The present invention provides an improved method of carrying out cationic polymerization of cyclic ether monomers substituted with high-energy, electron-withdrawing pendant groups (e.g., BAMO and NMMO). Such cyclic ether monomers are polymerized with an initiator precursor (i.e., an alcohol) and boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuranate (BF.sub.3 .cndot.THF). It has been discovered that when boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuranate is used as a catalyst in the cationic polymerization of cyclic ether monomers substituted with high-energy, electron-withdrawing pendant groups (e.g., BAMO and NMMO), polymers are produced that have improved functionality and low poly-dispersity. The polymers formed using the method of the present invention are useful for forming cross-linked elastomers which, in turn, are useful for forming elastomeric binders for high-energy compositions, such as propellants, explosives, gasifiers or the like.

Branched-chain diols and a method of forming them by reacting 1,4-diiodoperfluorobutane and perfluoropropylene to obtain branched-chain diiodide adducts thereof, reacting the diiodide adducts with ethylene to obtain I--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --R--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --I, wherein R is a branched-chain perfluoroalkyl radical, and hydrolysing the iodo groups to alcohols to obtain HO--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --R--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --OH. These diols can be reacted with branched-chain diisocyanates to form polyurethanes of better processability and lower glass transition temperatures than polyurethanes prepared from linear fluorinated monomers.

1,3-Diethynyladamantane and a method of forming same by brominating adamantane to yield 1,3-dibromoadamantane, subjecting vinyl bromide to Friedel-Crafts alkylation with the 1,3-dibromoadamantane to form 1,3-bis(2,2-dibromoethyl)adamantane and subjecting the 1,3-bis(2,2-dibromoethyl)adamantane to dehydrohalogenation to yield the 1,3-diethynyladamantane. 1,3-Diethynyladamantane can be polymerized to produce strong, thermally stable resins suitable for advanced aerospace structural applications, as matrices for carbon-carbon systems and as electrical insulators. It can also be copolymerized with 1-ethynyladamantane to yield similarly useful resins.
摘要:
This application is directed to novel fluorinated polymers and prepolymers derived from mono-substituted oxetane monomers having fluorinated alkoxymethylene side-chains and the method of making these compositions. The mono-substituted fluorinated oxetane monomers having fluorinated alkoxymethylene side-chains are prepared in high yield by the reaction of a fluorinated alkoxides with either 3-halomethyl-3-methyloxetane premonomers or aryl sulfonate derivative of 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methyloxetane premonomers. Preparation of a mono-substituted 3-bromomethyl-3-methyloxetane premonomer via a simple, high yield process amenable to commercial scaleup is also disclosed. The fluorinated oxetane monomers of this invention can be readily homo/co-polymerized in the presence of a Lewis acid and polyhydroxy compounds to obtain hydroxy-terminated polyether prepolymers having fluorinated alkoxymethylene side chains. Additionally, the fluorinated oxetane monomers can be copolymerized with non-fluorinated monomers such as tetrahydrofuran to give polyether prepolymers with improved hydrocarbon compatibility. These prepolymers are polydisperse and exhibit number average molecular weights from 5,000 to about 50,000. These prepolymers are amorphous oils with primary hydroxy end-groups and thus function efficiently as the soft block for the synthesis of a variety of thermoset/thermoplastic elastomers and plastics having the characteristics of very low surface energy, high hydrophobicity, low glasss transition temperature and low coefficient of friction. The polyurethanes derived from the prepolymers of this invention are elastomeric and, in addition to the above characteristics, exhibit high moisture resistance, high tear strength and excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates.
