The Problem

Introduction

The traditional philosophy that a college-or a university is an exclusive institution in which only highly selected individuals receive a concentrated training in the traditional liberal arts no longer exists. In America, for instance, as early as 1870, Harvard, the colonial college with a narrow curriculum, was transformed rather rapidly into a modern university with many new subjects and the elective system (Garrett, 1949). Also, since 1642, when the first entrance requirements were instituted for American higher education, a continuing debate has developed over what constitutes a sound curriculum for education. There are those who …

Synthesis And Analysis Of Dimers Of Alpha-Methylstyrene, Bhadreshkumar J. Mehta

Masters Theses

Introduction

The heat of polymerization ∆Hp, of Alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) has been a source of study for many years. The structure of AMS is shown in Figure 1.

Roberts and Jessup carried out the first quantitative work to determine ∆Hp if AMS.¹ Their data displayed a ∆Hp dependence on the degree of polymerization, DP. Several other reports were also published with new values for ∆Hp and new explanations for the apparent DP dependence.^{2, 3, 4, 5.}

Samples of dimers of AMS have been prepared by various workers.^{6, 7, 8} The reactions were mostly carried out by using sulfuric …

Masters Theses

I. Introduction

It is well known that the hydrogen atoms of a methyl group directly attached to an aromatic system are sufficiently acidic to be abstracted by suitable bases to generate the corresponding α-anion.^1,2 These monoanions have frequently served as suitable intermediates for the formation of a large variety of a-condensation products in good to excellent yields² On the other hand, attempts to obtain α,α-dianions from various dimethylaromatic systems have met with limited success.² Due to the lack of sufficiently strong bases, dimetalation products were obtained only in poor yields even at high temperatures and prolonged reaction …

Heats Of Combustion Of Alpha-Methylstyrene Oligomers, Dale Keith Humbert

Masters Theses

Introduction

The heat of polymerization (∆H_p) of α-methylstyrene (AMS) has been a source of study for many years. The structure of AMS is shown in Figure 1.

The first quantitative work was done by Roberts and Jessup.¹ Their values were more positive than those theoretically calculated by Flory² and compared with ∆H_p data of other systems. This was not totally unexpected and could be satisfactorily explained on the basis of steric hindrance and loss of resonance energy of conjugation. This steric hindrance arose from "head-to-tail" polymerization of the 1, 1-disubstituted ethylene structure.³ Their data …
