On the basis of previously reported, as well as new, experimental results, a review is presented of the kinetic and chemical influences of alkenes on the pyrolysis of alkanes. The results confirm that the addition of free H• atoms to the double bonds of alkenes is not sufficient to explain their inhibiting influence on the pyrolysis of alkanes. On the contrary, our results show that the processes of addition can account for the chemical effects of added alkenes on the pyrolysis of alkanes, namely, the modifications brought to the nature and the ratio of the products formed during the reaction. The results presented here confirm that the addition of alkyl free radicals to the double bond of alkenes does not lead to important chemical effects. The previously reported experimental results (pyrolysis of ethane in the presence of ethylene or propene, the pyrolysis of 2,2-dimethylbutane in the presence of propene, isobutene, or two isopentenes), completed by our new results (pyrolysis of ethane in the presence of isobutene, pyrolysis of isobutane in the presence of ethylene, of propene, of trans-2-butene, or of 2-methyl-2-butene), can lead to very simple general rules, on the basis of which it is possible to explain the results and to predict the modifications (relating to the nature of the products and to their ratios) that will result from the addition of an alkene during the pyrolysis of an alkane at a temperature of 500 °C (773 K). Aside from their fundamental aspects, these observations and their mechanistic consequences could be useful for the preparation of models for these thermal reactions, especially for the simplification of complex models. These observations also explain certain facts observed in industry and can help in solving some of the problems associated with the thermal cracking of heavy oils.

Photoisomerization mechanism in model retinal-like protonated Schiff base pentadieniminium was investigated by using MNDO method with configuration interaction. Isomerizations around various double bonds were studied and twisted biradical geometries in S0 and S1 states were optimized. Photoisomerization proceeds exclusively around the central double bond where the twisted S1 state is strongly stabilized and the S0-S1 gap is minimal.

The thermal reactions of ethylene oxide in the presence of an excess of propylene have been studied as a function of pressure and it has been found that there are two sets of products, acetaldehyde and free radicals, presumably methyl and formyl. These products are believed to arise from an excited acetaldehyde intermediate. Some evidence has been obtained for the occurrence of a surface-catalyzed rearrangement to acetaldehyde but the free radical products are uninfluenced by surface.

An aspect of the synthesis of sterically defined trisubstituted double bonds is discussed. Metal-ammonia reductions of hydropyridinium salts such as (1 ; R, R' = H or Me) result in allylic fissions, with a considerable proportion of double bond retention in its original situation and complete retention of the original steric configuration in that position.

Abstract The chlorination of rubber solutions by gaseous chlorine was followed by isolating the partially chlorinated products and preparing their ozonides. The ozonides were hydrolyzed, and the acids and aldehydes formed on hydrolysis were determined. By a comparison with the amounts of acids and aldehydes obtained from ozonides of unreacted rubber, the amount of residual isoprenic double bonds present was found. The loss of double bonds attending the introduction of chlorine atoms into the molecule of rubber indicates four definite stages in chlorination : (1) initial substitutive attack by chlorine, with concomitant cyclization, resulting in a loss of one double bond between two isoprenic units, (2) substitution, (3) additive reaction, and (4) essentially substitution. Chlorination of aged rubber solutions differs from the above in that the cyclization reaction (stage 1) seems to be absent.

Abstract 1. When chloroprene and isoprene polymerize, besides the frequency characterizing the conjugate double bond in the monomer, there appears a higher frequency corresponding to the isolated double bond in the polymer. In the polymerization process, the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond decreases and the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond increases. Because of the increase in the number of single bonds in the polymer, the intensity of the frequency of the single bond 1005 in the polymer is considerably greater than in the monomer. 2. Even in the case of the samples with high polymer contents (greater than 50 per cent), the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond is considerably greater than the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond. This is attributable to the fact that part of double bonds disappear during polymerization. 3. The Raman spectra of the chloroprene and isoprene polymers differ essentially from those of the monomers. To characterize the frequencies of vibration in the polymer molecule, it is essential to investigate its Raman spectrum in a medium free of the monomer. 4. The formation of highly polymeric molecules on polymerization does not result in an increase in the intensity of the continuous background in spectrograms.

Rate data for the reaction of a series of benzohydrazonoyl halides with pyrrolidine and butan- 1-amine at 303 K are presented. Linear Hammett plots were obtained with each amine. The mechanism of the reactions and the stereochemical outcome of these displacements at the carbon-nitrogen double bond are discussed.

Novel bio-based compounds containing phenols suitable for the synthesis of polyurethanes were prepared. The direct alkylation of phenols with different vegetable oils in the presence of superacids (HBF4, triflic acid) as catalysts was studied. The reaction kinetics was followed by monitoring the decrease of the double bond content (iodine value) with time. In order to understand the mechanism of the reaction, phenol was alkylated with model compounds. The model compounds containing one internal double bond were 9-octadecene and methyl oleate and those with three double bonds were triolein and high oleic safflower oil (82% oleic acid). It was shown that the best structures for phenol alkylation are fatty acids with only one double bond (oleic acid). Fatty acids with two double bonds (linoleic acid) and three double bonds (linolenic acid) lead to polymerized oils by a Diels Alder reaction, and to a lesser extent to phenol alkylated products. The reaction product of direct alkylation of phenol with vegetable oils is a complex mixture of phenol alkylated with polymerized oil (30-60%), phenyl esters formed by transesterification of phenol with triglyceride ester bonds (<10 %) and unreacted oil (30%). The phenolated vegetable oils are new aromatic-aliphatic bio-based raw materials suitable for the preparation of polyols (by propoxylation, ethoxylation, Mannich reactions) for the preparation of polyurethanes, as intermediates for phenolic resins or as bio-based antioxidants.

Consideration of recent analytical data supports the conclusion that the longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of marine origin are all structurally homogeneous in that the double bonds are cis, the double bonds methylene interrupted, and that, with the exception of the C16 chain length, the ultimate double bond will normally be three, six or nine carbon atoms removed from the terminal methyl group.
