Usage

General Description

Furfuryl Acrylate is a specialized organic compound that carries the systematic name of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-(furan-2-ylmethoxy)ethyl ester. It is predominantly utilized in the polymer industry, commonly used in the production of resins, and as a reactive diluent or modifying agent for adhesives, inks, coatings, and plastics. It is characterized by its strong ability to enhance the properties of polymers, such as their adhesion, flexibility, hardness, and thermal stability. Furfuryl Acrylate is also valued in chemical synthesis for its reactivity with different types of organic and inorganic compounds. In terms of safety, it's important to handle it with care as it can cause skin and eye irritation, and prolonged contact can lead to allergic reactions. Additionally, this clear liquid substance with a mild, sweet odor is highly reactive and has the potential to polymerize spontaneously, which suggests the need for proper storage.

Dynamic Trapping as a Selective Route to Renewable Phthalide from Biomass-Derived Furfuryl Alcohol

A novel route for the production of the versatile chemical building block phthalide from biorenewable furfuryl alcohol and acrylate esters is presented. Two challenges that limit sustainable aromatics production via Diels–Alder (DA) aromatisation—an unfavourable equilibrium position and undesired regioselectivity when using asymmetric addends—were addressed using a dynamic kinetic trapping strategy. Activated acrylates were used to speed up the forward and reverse DA reactions, allowing for one of the four DA adducts to undergo a selective intramolecular lactonisation reaction in the presence of a weak base. The adduct is removed from the equilibrium pool, pulling the system completely to the product with a fixed, desired regiochemistry. A single 1,2-regioisomeric lactone product was formed in up to 86 % yield and the acrylate activating agent liberated for reuse. The lactone was aromatised to give phthalide in almost quantitative yield in the presence of Ac2O and a catalytic amount of strong acid, or in 79 % using only catalytic acid.

REVERSIBLE POLYMERIC GELATION FOR OILFIELD APPLICATIONS

This invention relates to the synthesis and use in oilfield applications of copolymers which can undergo the Diels-Alder reaction to form a gel. Under appropriate conditions, the retro Diels-Alder reaction can take place to provide for decreasing the viscosity of the aforementioned gel.
