Preparation of Styrene Derivatives Containing Sulfide Group: Addition Reactions of Thiophenol and Its Derivatives to 1,4-Divinylbenzene Polymer Journal, Vol. 22, No. 11, pp 969-975 (1990) Preparation of Styrene Derivatives Containing Sulfide Group: Addition Reactions of Thiophenol and Its Derivatives to 1,4-Divinylbenzene Eiichi KOBAYASHI,* Jian JIANG, Hiroyoshi MATSUMOTO, and Junji FURUKAWA Department of Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Science University of Tokyo, Noda, Chiba 278, Japan (Received April 13, 1990) ABSTRACT: To prepare styrene derivatives containing a sulfide group such as 4-vinyl-1- [(2-phenylthio)ethyl]benzenes, the addition reactions ofthiophenols to 1,4-divinylbenzene were car­ ried out in the presence of AIBN or BPO. The maximum yields of the corresponding adducts were about 62% by the G.C. method. The competitive addition reaction of thiophenol to 1,4- divinylbenzene and the remaining vinyl group of the mono-adduct simultaneously took place to decrease the yield of the mono-adduct. The effects of the reaction time, reaction temperature and the additive in the course of the reaction are discussed based on gas chromatographic studies. The monomer reactivity ratio of the obtained mono-adduct was estimated by the radical copolymerization with MMA.

Further reduction proceeded when the reaction was carried out under reflux in tetrahydrofuran to give disulfide and thiophenol derivatives via sulfinic acid. Furthermore, sulfonamides were reduced with sodium borohydride by heating directly to give sulfide, disulfide and thiophenol derivatives, and diphenyl sulfone was reduced under similar conditions to give thiophenol and biphenyl.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Catalytic hydrolysis technology of carbonyl sulfide (COS) at low temperature was reviewed, including the development of catalysts, reaction kinetics, and reaction mechanism of COS hydrolysis. It was indicated that the catalysts are mainly involved metal oxide and activated carbon. The active ingredients which can load on COS hydrolysis catalyst include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transition metal oxides, rare earth metal oxides, mixed metal oxides, and nanometal oxides. The catalytic hydrolysis of COS isa first-order reaction with respect to carbonyl sulfide, while the reaction order of water changes as the reaction conditions change. The controlling steps are also different because the reaction conditions such as concentration of carbonyl sulfide, reaction temperature, water-air ratio, and reaction atmosphere are different. The hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide is base-catalyzed reaction, and the forceof thebasesitehasanimportanteffectonthehydrolysisofcarbonylsulfide.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.

In this research, hydrogen sulfide oxidized by Bacillus cereus, and benzene with toluene were removed by VOC-degrading microbial consortium. The optimum operating condition of the fluidized bed bioreactor including both microorganisms was 30 oC, pH 6-8, and 150 cm of liquid bed height. The critical loading rate of hydrogen sulfide, benzene and toluene in the bioreactor was about 15 g/m3 h, 10 g/m3 h and 12 g/m3 h, respectively. The fluidized bed bioreactor showed an excellent elimination capacity for 580 hours of continuous operation, and maintained stable removal efficiency at sudden inlet concentration changes.

  • CHAPTER 7 ALCOHOLS, THIOLS, PHENOLS, ETHERS 7.1 Alcohols
    CHAPTER 7 ALCOHOLS, THIOLS, PHENOLS, ETHERS Several new functional groups are presented in this chapter. All of the functions are based on oxygen and sulfur in the sp2 hybridized state. The functional groups contain two pairs of non-bonding electrons and are the cornerstone of many organic processes. The structures for alcohols, phenols, thiols, ethers and thioethers are shown below. Alkyl-OH Ph-OH Alkyl-SH R-O-R R-S-R alcohol phenol thiol ether thioether 7.1 Alcohols 7.1a Nomenclature Priorities in nomenclature Several functional groups have been encountered as we have advanced through the chapters. When a new functional group is presented, its nomenclature is always based on the parent name with an ending that designates the functional group. When several functional groups are present in a molecule, priority rules must be used to determine which function is the parent system that determines the numbering of the system and the suffix used in the final name. The priority list is as follows: carboxylic acids > aldehydes> ketones> alcohols > amines > alkene > alkyne > alkyl, halogen, nitro Thus a compound that contained hydroxy, alkene and ketone functions would be named as a ketone with the ketone getting the lowest number possible, and substituents are numbered accordingly and named in alphabetical order. Below the compound on the left is named as an alcohol, but the one on the right is named as a ketone even though both compounds have the seven carbon backbone. 124 Ch 7 Alcohols, Thiols, Phenols, Ethers OH OH Cl Cl O 7-chloro-3-hepten-2-ol 1-chloro-6-hydroxy-4-hepten-3-one OH has priority ketone has priority Alcohol Nomenclature Hydroxy compounds are encountered frequently in organic chemistry and the OH function is of high priority with only acids, aldehydes and ketones having higher priority.
