In-Place Polymerizations of Electrophilic Olefins.

Abstract

This report contains the following: (1) Alpha-Carbomethoxymaleic anhydride, a highly reactivenew monomer was synthesized. It oligomerized, copolymerized and cycloadded to electrorich monomers. (2) Dimethyl and diethyl dicyanofumarate, tetrasubstituted olefins, copolymerize with p-methoxystyrene. (3) New 7,7,8,8-tetrasubstituted quinodimethanes containing cyano and ester groups were synthesized and isolated. The homo- and copolymerized and formed charge transfer complexes with tetrathiofulvalene. (4) 3-Methylenecyclobutene-1-carbonitrile, a new monomer was synthesized and polymerized. (5) 1,3-Dicyano and 1,3-dicarbomethoxybutadienes, highly reactive new monomers, were synthesized. They were exceptionally reactive new monomers. (6) NMR study of poly-bicyclobutane-1-carbontrile was done. (7) Three new theories, involving cation-radical or anion-radical propagation and an Organic Chemist's Periodic Table, were proposed.
