"KALEIDOSCOPIC" TOPOCHEMICAL PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION BEHAVIOR OF DIOLEFIN COMPOUNDS

  • Published : 1997.09.01

Abstract

INTRODUCTION : Various types of organic reactions in the crystalline state, so-called "topochemical reaction", have been reported in this century." Among the reactions, [2+2] photocycloaddition of diolefin crystals are one of the most intensively investigated examples. In the topochemical reaction in a pure sense, the space group symmetry is perfectly preserved throughout the reaction as were demonstrated by the crystalline-state photopolymerization of 2,5-distyrylpyrazine (2,5-DSP) and photodimerization of propyl $\alpha$-cyano-4-[2-(4-pyridyl) ethenyl]cinnamate. 2,5-DSP was initially prepared by Franke and in 1958 Koelsch and Gumprecht described briefly in their article of diazine-derivatives that it was found that the compound (2,5-DsP) was converted into a colorless insoluble polymer (\ulcorner) dec. 331~331$\circ$ when the solid was exposed for a few hours to ultraviolet light. Wright described in his book as if Koelsch and Gumprecht had investigated both the structure of the photoproduct and the crystal structure 2,5-DSP in detail. However, in the paper, they have not described any study on chemically correct analysis and crystallography of the resulting photoproduct at all. In 1967, one of present authors (M. H.) independently made the same observation as Franke that brilliant yellow crystal of 2,5-DSP was converted into powdery white substance under the sunlight in the course of a preparative study of pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid from 2,5-DSP. He investigated this phenomenon and concluded for the first time that a linear highmolecular-weight polymer crystal ([$\eta$] > 3.0 in $CF_3COOH$ solution) with recurring cyclobutane units in the main chain, had been produced from 2,5-DSP crystal by the action of sunlight.on of sunlight.
