Chapter 26: Q13P (page 1334)

(a) Nomex庐, a strong fire-resistant fabric, is a polyamide made from meta-phthalic acid and meta-diaminobenzene. Draw the structure of Nomex.

(b) Kevlar庐, made from terephthalic acid (para-phthalic acid) and para-diaminobenzene, is used in making tire cord and bulletproof vests. Draw the structure of Kevlar.

a)

b)

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Nomex庐 and Kevlar 庐 are Aramids or aromatic polyamide, a family of nylons. Their blends are used to make fireproof clothing. They are heat-resistant and have strong synthetic fibers.

02

(a) Nomex

Nomex庐 has meta-phenylene groups, in which the amide groups are attached to the phenyl ring at the 1 and 3 positions.

03

(b) Kelvar

Kevlar 庐 is a polyamide, in which all the amide groups are separated by para-phenylene groups, which means, the amide groups attach to the phenyl rings opposite to each other, at carbons 1 and 4.

Explain why the addition of a small amount of glycerol to the polymerization mixture gives a stiffer urethane foam.

Olestra庐is a fat-based fat substitute that became available in snack foods such as potato chips in 1998. Previous fat substitutes were carbohydrate-based or protein-based mixtures that did not give as good a sensation in the mouth and are not suitable for frying. With Olestra庐, the glycerol molecule of a fat is replaced by sucrose (p. 1237). In Olestra庐, the sucrose molecule has six, seven, or (most commonly) eight fatty acids esterified to its hydroxy groups. The fatty acids come from hydrolysis of vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, palm, coconut, and cottonseed oils. This unnaturally bulky, fat-like molecule does not pass through the intestinal walls, and digestive enzymes cannot get close to the sucrose center to bind it to their active sites. Olestra庐 passes through the digestive system unchanged, and it provides zero calories.Draw a typical Olestra庐 molecule, using any fatty acids that are commonly found in vegetable oils.

The polyester named LactomerRis an alternating copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid. Lactomer is used for absorbable suture material because stitches of Lactomer hydrolyze slowly over a two-week period and do not have to be removed. The hydrolysis products, lactic acid and glycolic acid, are normal metabolites and do not provoke an inflammatory response. Draw the structure of the Lactomer polymer.

Bisphenol A is made on a large scale by a condensation of phenol with acetone. Suggest an appropriate catalyst, and propose a mechanism for this reaction. (Hint: This is a condensation because three molecules are joined with loss of water. The mechanism belongs to another class of reactions though.)

(a) Propose a mechanism for the reaction of bisphenol A with phosgene.

(b) Diethyl carbonate serves as a less-toxic alternative to phosgene for making Lexan. Propose a mechanism for the transesterification of diethyl carbonate with bisphenol A, catalyzed by a trace of sodium ethoxide. What small molecule is given off in this condensation?
