Usage

General Description

1,4-Dioxane, 2,6-dimethyl- is a colorless liquid organic compound with a sweet odor. It is primarily used as a solvent in manufacturing and as a stabilizer in chlorinated solvents. It is also found in some personal care products such as shampoos and cosmetics as a byproduct of certain manufacturing processes. 1,4-Dioxane, 2,6-dimethyl- is known to be a potential human carcinogen and can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system upon exposure. It is also considered harmful to aquatic life and the environment, and there are regulations in place for its use and disposal. Efforts are being made to reduce or eliminate its presence in consumer products and industrial processes.

OLIGOMERISATION OF METHYLOXIRANE INITIATED BY (C6H5)3C(1+)AsF6(1-), (C6H5)3C(1+)SbCl6(1-) AND SbCl5

Reactions of methyloxirane with the titled compounds lead to the formation of a mixture of cyclic and linear oligomers with average polymerisation degree ranging from 5 to 10.The oligomers are formed by combination of back-bitting reaction with re-initiation of the transiently desactivated reaction centres followed by monomer transfer.The important role which these reactions play in the overall oligomerisation of methyloxirane is due to the fact that in addition to active centres with the structure of oxonium ions, also carbenium active centres participate significantly in the reaction.In the systems with stable pair anions AsF6(1-), the irreversible termination of active centres does not take place, in contrast to the latter systems.This termination involves the reaction of the cation of active centre with the pair anion which releases one ligand during this interaction.The results obtained indicate that in the systems initiated by SbCl5 the active centres of amphiion structure can play an important role in the initial stages of the reaction.
