Chapter 26: Q18P (page 1337)

Propose a mechanism for the reaction of phenyl isocyanate with methanol.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Complete mechanism for the reaction

Step by step solution

01

Urethanes (or carbamate ester)

They are commonly made by treating an isocyanate with an alcohol or a phenol. The reaction is highly exothermic and it gives a quantitative yield of carbamate ester.

02

Mechanism for the reaction of phenyl isocyanate with methanol

In this reaction, nucleophilic addition of methanol takes place in a concerted way across the nitrogen double bond carbon (N=C) of the phenyl isocyanate. Another methanol molecule adds to the reaction as a result of which a protonated methyl alcohol is formed. The double bond around N=C gets rearranged to give the final product as methyl-N-phenylcarbanate .

. (a) Draw the structure of gutta-percha, a natural rubber with all its double bonds in the trans configuration.

(b) Suggest why gutta-percha is not very elastic, even after it is vulcanized.

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.

Draw the structure of isotactic poly(acrylonitrile) and syndiotactic polystyrene.

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

Polychloroprene, commonly known as neoprene, is widely used in wetsuits and in rubber parts that must withstand exposure to gasoline or other solvents.

(a) Is neoprene an addition polymer or a condensation polymer?

(b) What monomer is used to make this synthetic rubber?
