Abstract:Novel trisubstituted ethylenes, ring-trisubstituted 2-cyano-3-phenyl-2-propenamides, RC 6 H 2 CHHC(CN)CONH 2 (where R is 2,4, 6-trimethyl, 2,3-dimethyl-4-methoxy, 2,3,4-trimethoxy, 2,4,5-trimethoxy, 2,4,6-trimethoxy, and 3,4,5-trimethoxy) were synthesized by potassium hydroxide catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-trisubstituted benzaldehydes and cyanoacetamide and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, 1 H-and 13 C-NMR. Novel copolymers of the ethylenes and styrene were prepared at equimolar mono… Show more
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.
