A study of the effects of structural modification at
the alpha position of ethyl 2-bromocarboxylates on their
rates of addition to two alkene pairs was undertaken. In
the competition between 3-propoxypropene and 1-octene at
70°, a 37% increase in selectivity was observed in going
from carboxylates generating primary radicals to...
A resin was synthesized by reacting glucose with urea and
phenol under acidic conditions. To better understand the
structure of this polymer and the mechanism of its
formation, this study was undertaken. It was observed
that although the polymer backbone is comprised of a
carbohydrate, glucose is not incorporated in...
