Diene/olefin/polar monomer copolymerisation: unprecedented functional polymers from a rare earth catalyst
2002
An ansasamarocene allyl system is an efficient initiator which polymerises 1,3-dienes, copolymerises dienes and long-chain α-olefins or α,ω-dienes to give functionalisable polymers. It also polymerises caprolactone and allows the controlled diblock copolymerisation of isoprene or isoprene/ α-olefin copolymer and caprolactone.
New Viscoelastic Materials Obtained by Insertion of anα-Olefin in atrans-Polyisoprene Chain with a Single-Component Organolanthanide Catalyst
2001
Copolymerisation of isoprene with C 6 -C 18 a-olefins by a single component organolanthanide catalyst affords poly(trans-1,4-isoprene) containing 6-10% of inserted olefin. The mechanical properties of highly crystalline transpolyisoprene are dratically modified after insertion of the alkyl chains, leading to quasi-amorphous viscoelastic materials.
The anionic copolymerization of 5-(N,N-diisopropylamino)isoprene with styrene
1995
The anionic copolymerization of 5-(N,N-diisopropylamino)isoprene (N,N-diisopropyl-2-vinylallylamine) and styrene initiated with alkyllithium compounds is studied. Copolymers obtained from different compositions are characterized by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), differential scanning calorimetry and by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Under these conditions the dialkylaminoisoprene, similar to butadiene and isoprene, is more reactive than styrene and is incorporated faster into the polymer backbone. The incomplete conversion of the monomers has been attributed to the formation of intra-or intermolecular complexes between the Li + counterion at the chain end and amino groups. Because…
Anionic Monosubstituted Cyclopentadienylsamarium Derivatives: Catalysts for a Stereospecific Isoprene Polymerization
1998
New alkyl and allyl complexes 1–3 {1: [Cp′2Sm(C3H5)]n, Cp′ = Me3CC5H4; 2: [Me4C2(C5H4)2]Sm(C3H5)2Li(dme),dme = (CH3OCH2CH2OCH3); 3: Cp′2SmMe2Li(dioxane)} were synthesized from (Cp′2SmCl)2and from the magnesium derivative [Me4C2(C5H4)2]SmCl · MgCl2(THF)4 (4). The ansa anionic complex 2 exhibited good activity for the stereospecific 1,4-trans polymerization of isoprene, whereas the neutral derivative 1 was inactive. In the same way, the anionic complex [Cp′2SmMe2]Li(dioxane) (3) was found to be an ethylene polymerization catalyst of very short lifetime. The lack of reactivity of 1 is related to the associated structure of this coordinatively unsaturated complex: this fact was established by t…
Fate of several hydroxyalkyl isoprene radicals: Formation of hydroxycarbonyl compounds
2005
Abstract The fate of two hydroxyalkyl radicals derived from the oxidation of isoprene with OH radical, resulting in the formation of two hydroxycarbonyls, was investigated by means of theoretical quantum chemistry methods. All the stationary points were optimised at the UMP2/6-31G(d) level, and high-level ab initio calculations were performed at the QCISD(T)/6-31G(d) level of computation upon MP2 optimised structures in order to refine the energy of the molecules characterised. Our results show that the reaction of hydroxyalkyl radicals with O 2 is a very favoured pathway that explains the formation of the two hydroxycarbonyls optimised.
Organolanthanides as single component homogeneous catalysts for isoprenehex—1-ene co-polymerisation
1999
Abstract Bisallylansalanthanide complexes act as single component catalysts of diene polymerisation; from an equimolar mixture of isoprene and hex-1-ene, a co-polymer hex-1-ene/isoprene = 1:10 is obtained, this copolymer is essentially formed of 1,4- trans polyisoprene blocks separated by only one inserted hexyl group.

NMR spectroscopy belongs to the most versatile techniques used in chemical laboratory for testing the presence of various compounds and elucidation of their structure. In case of more complex natural products chemical intuition and experience applied to analysis of experimental spectra is often supported by theoretical modeling of NMR spectra. However, theoretical predictions should be reliable and the errors associated with the approximations inherent to the existing methods minimized. In this respect, systematic errors, present in calculation of isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings of the studied molecule need to be minimized. Conversion of nuclear shieldings of the studied molecule to t…
