Carbonyl compounds from allene and its derivatives
Abstract
Abstract Organic carbonyl compounds containing at least five carbon atoms are prepared by reacting an organic carbonyl compound having at least one hydrogen alpha to the carbonyl group with an acyclic organic compound containing at least two adjacent carbon to carbon double bonds at a temperature of from - 50* to 200* C for a period of from 0.1 to about 100 hours in the presence of a free radical initiator. A mixture of monomeric and polymeric carbonyl products are formed. Selectivity to any particular weight product is monitored by selection of the mole ratio of reactants. As a specific example, reaction of allene with excess acetic acid forms a product mixture comprising pimelic acid, allyl acetic acid and a resin acid of average gram molecular weight between about 200 and about 2,000. These synthetic resin acids may be used as substitutes for naturally occurring organic acids or may be used to control the molecular weight or cross linking in polyesters.
