3-dimethylbuta-1

Peculiarities of obtaining 2-hydroxyethyl-1,3,4-trimethylcyclohex-3-encarboxylate

The process of diene cyclization of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene with 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate was investigated. Effects of temperature, reaction duration, and ratio of reagents on the yield of 2-hydroxyethyl-1,3,4-trimethylcyclohex-3-encarboxylate was studied. Optimal conditions of passing the process were found. Kinetic regularities of 2-hydroxyethyl-1,3,4-trimethylcyclohex-3-encarboxylate obtaining has been investigated. On the basis of the obtained results the optimal conditions of the target product synthesis have been established.

Effect of the Reactants Molar Ratio on the Kinetics of Cycloaddition of 2,3-Dimethylbuta-1,3-diene to allylmethacrylate

The cycloaddition reaction between 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and allylmethacrylate proceeds by the second order kinetics. The rate constants increase with the increase in the excess of one of the reactants. The change in the effective rate constants is described by the Michaelis– Menten equation indicating that the reaction proceeds through the initial equilibrium stage of formation of an intermediate complex which then transforms into the product.
