Chromium Oxidations in Organic Chemistry

Chromium oxidation, popular and broadly explored in natural chemistry because the very starting of this technological know-how, is a subject of present curiosity for the natural chemist as evidenced through the continual improvement of latest techni­ ques and systems stated within the literature. Chromium oxidation is an easy approach which are simply played within the laboratory and scaled up in to boot.

Example text

The following initiation scheme may be written for the M n ( C O ) - C C l system (Bamford and Denyer, 1966). The trichloromethyl radical is the initiating species. 2. /CH 3 x CH X 3 CH 3 Propagation Propagation involves the successive addition of m o n o m e r units to the active radicals generated in the initiation step. 4, addition occurs in the head-to-tail con­ figuration. In dienes with isolated double bonds, both bonds can react independently of each other and cross-linking can result. In certain cases, cooperative addition reactions of one double b o n d to the other on the same molecule lead to polymers with cyclic repeating units in a process known as cyclopolymerization (McCormick and Butler, 1972; Solomon, 1975).

Effect of Temperature. The effect of temperature on the rate of polymerization and molecular weight is of prime importance in polymer production. Quantitatively, temperature effects are complex since R depends on a combination of three rate constants, fc , / c , and k . 19) E/RT where A is the collision frequency factor and Ε the activation energy, then the temperature dependence of the ratio k (kjk ) in Eq. 20) 2. , initiation by thermal decomposition of a chemical initiator, E is of the order of 3 0 - 4 0 kcal/mole for the chemical initiators commonly used.

The active species then reacts with the m o n o m e r Μ to produce an activated molecule by opening the double bond. R* + Μ RM' Polymerization then proceeds by successive addition of further m o n o m e r molecules t o the activated end of the growing chain. Thus the mechanism is termed addition or chain polymerization and polymers from this type of reaction are called addition polymers. The addition of m o n o m e r molecules to the activated chain end is known as propagation and this reaction will proceed until the reactive center is de­ stroyed by one of a number of termination reactions or until the supply of monomer is exhausted.
