1,3-dipolar compound bearing an imidazole functional group

In a 1,3-dipolar compound of formula Q-A-B, Q comprises a dipole containing at least and preferably one nitrogen atom, A, which is preferably divalent, is an atom or a group of atoms connecting Q to B, and B comprises an imidazole ring. An unsaturated polymer modified by grafting the 1,3-dipolar compound is also disclosed.

SYNTHESIS OF STERICALLY HINDERED AROMATIC ALDEHYDES

Formylation of mesitylene, durene, and m-xylene derivatives containing electron-donor and electron-acceptor substituents by dichloromethyl methyl ether was studied in the presence of TiCl4.A series of functionally substituted sterically hindered benzaldehydes was prepared from the products of these reactions.

NEW DATA ON THE FORMYLATION OF MESITYLENE AND DIMESITYLMETHANE BY DICHLOROMETHYL ETHER

During the formylation of mesitylene by the action of dichloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of aluminium chloride or titanium tetrachloride an appreciable amount of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzylidene chloride is formed.This indicates the possible appearance of the CHCl2+ cation as intermediate particle.The disubstituted products are formed in addition to the monosubstitution products.In addition to the corresponding dialdehyde, the formylation of dimesitylmethane leads to the formation of products which contain one benzene ring and appear during cleavage of thesubstrate and subsequent substitution (formylmesitylene, dichloromethylmesitylene, chloromethylmesitylenecarbaldehyde, chloromethyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzylidene chloride).
