Diverse Modes of Reactivity of 6-(Chloromethyl)-6-methylfulvene

The title compound exhibits a number of modes of reactivity toward nucleophiles/bases owing to the presence of several electrophilic and potentially nucleophilic sites in the molecule. We explored the reactions of 6-(chloromethyl)-6-methylfulvene with oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles and bases as well as a carbon-based nucleophile (an enamine) and realized all possible reactivity modes predicted on the basis of electrophilic and nucleophilic positions in this compound.

Process for the preparation of amorphous polymers of propylene

It is possible to prepare substantially amorphous polymers of propylene endowed with high molecular weights, operating at temperatures of industrial interest, by carrying out the polymerization reaction of propylene in the presence of metallocene catalysts comprising particular bis-indenyl or bis-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindenyl compounds substituted in the 2-position on the indenyl or tetrahydroindenyl groups.
