The radical copolymerization of (p-vinyl phenyl) cyclopropyl methyl cinnamate with methyl methacrylate has been studied. New cyclopropane-containing photosensitive copolymers have been prepared. The constant values of relative activity of monomers have been determined and the parameters of Q-e on Alfrey and Price have been calculated. The copolymerization constants of this compound (r1) with methyl methacrylate (r2) calculated on Fineman-Ross method are r1 =1.05, r2 = 0.4, respectively; parameter values Q and e: Q1 =2.5, e1 =-0.9, respectively. The composition and structure of these copolymers have been established. The photochemical investigations of the synthesized copolymer have been carried out. It has been established that a structuring proceeds due to opening of cyclopropane ring and carbonyl groups and also double bond in cinnamate fragment.
The reaction of carboethoxycarbene with styrene and p-substituted styrenes in the conditions of thermocatalytic decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate has been studied. It has been shown that the substituents in the investigated styrenes have an essential effect on the activity of the double bond with respect to carboethoxy¬¬carbene. It has been established as a result of the investigation that the substituents in the para- position of styrene influence essentially on the activity of the double bond with respect to carboethoxycarbene. It has been revealed that carboethoxycarbene is connected to the double bond of styrene and p-styrenes practically without formation of by products. As a result of the reaction, 2-phenyl and 2-p-substituted phenyl-1-ethoxycarbonyl cyclopropane (1–4) as a mixture of cis- and trans- isomers at a ratio of~ (30:70) with the predominant formation of a trans-isomer has been obtained. The composition and structure of the synthesized compounds have been established. It has been revealed that all synthesized cyclopropane-containing compounds show the various biologically active properties. In addition, the compounds 9–12 can be used as a modifier and diluent for epoxy resin ED-20
The modification process of ED-20 epoxy resin by synthesized cyclopropane-containing compounds has been considered. It has been shown that their introduction improves considerably physical-mechanical, heat-physical and thermal indices of the compositions based on the ED-20 epoxide resin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
