Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Nitroethylene undergoes anionic polymerization before isolating the monomer need to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Polymerization is a reaction when monomer molecules are reacted to form a polymer chain.  Polymerization can occur via three ways,

  • Cationic polymerization
  • Radical polymerization
  • Anionic polymerization

Cationic polymerization is the polymerization of the monomer (vinyl) with strong electron-donating groups.  In this method cationic initiator transfers charge to the monomer which becomes active and further propagates with another molecules.

Anionic polymerization is the polymerization of the monomer (vinyl) with strong electron-withdrawing groups (electronegative groups).  In this polymerization carbanion is the active species.

Radical polymerization is a type of polymerization where the reaction occurs by successive addition of free-radicals.

To explain: why nitroethylene difficult to isolate without polymerizing (anionic polymerization)

(EXM 2, PRBLM 3) Here is this problem, can you explain it to me and show how its done. Thank you I need to see the work for like prbl solving.
can someone draw out the reaction mechanism for this reaction showing all bonds, intermediates and side products Comment on the general features of the 1H-NMR spectrum of isoamyl ester provided below
What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1. PPh3 3 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
