Chapter 31: Q22E (page 1054)

Draw the structure of Kedol, a polyester prepared by heating dimethyl 1,4- benzene dicarboxylate with 1,4- bis (hydroxymethyl) cyclohexane.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The answer is,

Step by step solution

01

Esterification Reaction

The esterification reaction is the reaction taking place by the alcohols and carboxylic acids. The hydroxyl groups of alcohols and carboxylic group of acids undergo a reaction to leaving a water molecule giving an ester compound

02

Step 2:

The polyester kedol can be synthesized as shown below.

Reaction

The reactants used are dimethyl 1,4- benzene dicarboxylate and 1,4- bis (hydroxymethyl) cyclohexane. They on heating undergo the removal of methanol to give the product Kedol. This is an esterification reaction.

Melmac, a thermosetting resin often used to make plastic dishes, is prepared by heating melamine with formaldehyde. Look at the structure of Bakelite shown in Section 31-6, and then propose a structure for Melmac.

Irradiation of poly (1,3-butadiene), followed by the addition of styrene, yields a graft copolymer that is used to make rubber soles for shoes. Draw the structure of a representative segment of this styrene-butadiene graft copolymer.

The smoking salons of the Hindenburg and other hydrogen-filled dirigibles of the 1930s were insulated with urea–formaldehyde polymer foams. The structure of this polymer is highly cross-linked, like that of Bakelite (Section 31-6). Propose a structure.

Polystyrene is produced commercially by the reaction of styrene with butyllithium as an anionic initiator. Using resonance structures, explain how the chain-carrying intermediate is stabilized.
