The radical-trapping technique employing 1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin- 2-yloxyl (1) as scavenger has been used to study the reactions of t-butoxy radicals with allyl methacrylate (2). Extensive hydrogen abstraction as well as addition to both allyl and acryloyl double bonds was observed. One unusual feature of the reaction, the formation of considerably more (Z)- alkene than (E)- alkene from trapping of radicals derived from the allyloxy moiety, is also discussed.

A novel phosphorous-free terpolymer, used as a decalcifying agent for removing calcium from crude oil, was prepared through a free-radical polymerization reaction of acrylic acid, allylpolyethoxy amino carboxylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate.

The radical-trapping technique employing 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yloxyl (1) as a radical scavenger has been used to study the reaction of diphenylphosphinoyl (2) and dimethoxyphosphinoyl (3) radicals with vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile. The phosphorus- centred radicals were generated by hydrogen abstraction from diphenylphosphine oxide and dimethyl phosphite respectively. Diphenylphosphine oxide was approximately three times as reactive as dimethyl phosphite towards hydrogen abstraction by t- butoxyl radicals and four times as reactive as tetrahydrofuran (towards abstraction of an α-hydrogen). Diphenylphosphinoyl radicals were found to be relatively nucleophilic and, in competition experiments, reacted about an order of magnitude faster with acrylonitrile than with vinyl acetate. Dimethoxyphosphinoyl radicals were rather less nucleophilic and reacted only twice as fast with acrylonitrile as they did with vinyl acetate. In the presence of excess aminoxyl (1), both diphenylphosphinoyl and dimethoxyphosphinoyl radicals were efficiently scavenged to produce stable phosphinic and phosphate esters respectively. The rate of scavenging was close to diffusion-controlled (c. 1.8×109 1. mol-1 s-1).

The poly-2-hyroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA)/clay nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from initiator moieties immobilized within the silicate galleries of the clay particles. To produce organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) that has ATRP initiator moiety, a new catalyst that consists of quaternary ammonium salt moiety and an initiator moiety was synthesized. This initiator was intercalated into the interlayer spacing of the MMT. The polymerization reaction was carried out in a mixed solvent system consisting of methyl ethyl ketone and 1-propanol at 50 °C, using the initiator that has been already synthesized with a copper bromide catalyst. The 2, 2′-bipyridyl (bpy) complex was used as ligand. The products were characterized via Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 12C NMR), transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry.
