New ultraviolet (UV) curable prepolymer, 2–hydroxy–3–[p–(1–{2–hydroxy–3–(isopro– phenylcarbonyloxypropoxy) phenyl} methylcyclohexyl) phenoxy] propyl acrylate (BISCHDA) was synthesized by the reaction of p–[1–(p–hydroxyphenyl) methylcyclohexyl] phenol with methylcyclohexanone, epoxidation with epichlorohydrin followed by addition reaction with acrylic acid. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Several UV-curable formulated solutions were prepared separately by mixing the prepolymer, BISCHDA (75%), diluent, tri (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (TEGDA) (25%) and different concentrations of a photoinitiator, 2–benzyl–2–dimethylamino–1–(4–morpholinophenyl) butan–1–one (Irgacure369/BDMB) and irradiated …show more content…
The contents of the flask were stirred for a period of 15 min, and then the solution was heated to 40 , 0.5 mol p-methylcyclohexanone was introduced drop wise to the solution for about 3 h. Then the mixture was poured into 60 mL boiling water containing 2N potassium hydroxide. The solid product was separated and acidified with dilute sulphuric acid, then washed with distilled water and dried at 45 for 12 h. Recrystallization from benzene and the methanol – water system gave light yellow crystals. The synthesis of the HPMCP is shown in Fig. 1. Yield …show more content…
Then 0.5 mol of HPMCP, 1.1 mol of epichlorohydrin and 250 mL of isopropanol were added to the flask. After thoroughly mixed, then the contents were heated at 45oC for 20 min. Subsequently a solution of 1.25 mol of sodium hydroxide in 500 mL water was added drop wise to the solution and then stirred continuously at The temperature of the system was maintained at 45oC for 5 h. The clear aqueous upper layer was carefully removed and the resin was washed with water. Finally, the product in the flask was washed several times with deionised boiled water to remove the remaining sodium chloride and excess of epichlorohydrin was evaporated and dried under vacuum to give a solid product of OOMPM. It was soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, chloroform and acetone. The synthesis of OOMPM is shown in Fig. 1. Yield

    Ethyl vinyl ether was used to protect –OH on glycidol based on a literature reported protocal.59 In a typical procedure, 0.675 mol glycidol and 200 mL ethyl vinyl ether were loaded in a round-bottom flask, to which 1.25 g TsOH was then added. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature (RT) for 3h. The resulting mixture was then purified by washing with 100 ml saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 for 3 times. The organic layer obtained was dried by MgSO4. After filtration of MgSO4, the excess ethyl vinyl ether was removed by rotary evaporation.…

    The round bottom, containing the mixture, was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap and a condenser. 25mL of toluene was poured through the condenser into the trap, so, it was completely filled. The reaction was heated at reflux for 1 hour, after which it was cooled to 4-50° Celsius and methylene chloride was slowly added until all the crystals which had formed were dissolved. The liquid was filtered and washed twice with 10 mL of methylene chloride. The toluene and methylene chloride was then removed with rotary evaporator.…

    To ensure the reaction was complete the melting point was obtained and determined to be 128℃. The limiting reagent for this reaction was determined to be benzaldehyde as it was a 2: 1 ratio. Using the theoretical yield of 20.70 g, the percent yield was calculated to be 28.74 %. This could have been higher if the reflux was completed for 90 minutes like the procedure called for instead of 60 minutes. This could have influenced the amount of product obtained from the reflux.…

    The C-H stretch is that typical seen in aromatics, confirming the maintaining of the cyclohexanol ring; and the C = O stretch reveals that an oxidation occurred to the OH group in cyclohexanol, producing cyclohexanone as the product. When analyzing the H NMR of the product, there are only ten total H’s and three constitutionally inequivalent H’s. The H NMR…

    Anisole is activating. The reason it is considered to be activating is because of the electron pairs on the ether molecule. Furthermore, the electrons activate the benzene ring which makes it more reactive. On the other hand, if benzoic acid replaced anisole in the experiment, it would act as a deactivating group. Carboxylic acid pulls electrons from the benzene ring acting as a withdrawing group which causes a slower reaction with the increase of stability and decrease in reactivity due to resonance.…

    Observations or reactions: Separation of the basic component: When 2ml of 3M HCl was added to the mixture of Benzoic acid, Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, 9-Fluorenone, diethyl ether, two layers were created, an organic yellow top layer and a clear aqueous bottom layer. The clear layer (basic layer) was extracted and placed into a container where 6M NaOH was add to the solution. The addition of NaOH made the solution basic, and created white flakes in the solution. The white flakes were separated by placing them into a Hirsh funnel filtration, the sold flakes were pure ethyl 4-aminobenzoate. After a week the powder was weighted using analytical balances melted with a mel temp.…
