2-Pyrrolidone is produced industrially almost exclusively by treating aqueous gamma-butyrolactone with ammonia at a temperature of 250–290 °C and pressures ranging from 0.4–1.4 MPa over solid magnesium silicate catalysts. [3] The reaction is carried out in a tubular reactor which is packed with the solid catalyst. The latter is arranged as ...
It is produced industrially by vinylation of 2-pyrrolidone, i.e. the base-catalyzed reaction with acetylene. [2] It is the precursor to polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), an important synthetic material. The NVP monomer is commonly used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet and electron - beam curable polymers applied as inks , coatings or adhesives .
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also commonly called polyvidone or povidone, is a water-soluble polymer compound made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone. [1] PVP is available in a range of molecular weights and related viscosities, and can be selected according to the desired application properties.
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is classified as a reproductive toxicant (H360D: May damage the unborn child) and can cause skin and eye irritation and respiratory irritation (H315, H319, H335). [8] Studies show NMP exposure can increase the risk of developmental toxicity, including miscarriage and fetal death.
Pyrrolidine, also known as tetrahydropyrrole, is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH 2) 4 NH. It is a cyclic secondary amine , also classified as a saturated heterocycle . It is a colourless liquid that is miscible with water and most organic solvents.
In organic chemistry, a vinyl group (abbr. Vi; [1] IUPAC name: ethenyl group [2]) is a functional group with the formula −CH=CH 2. It is the ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) molecule (H 2 C=CH 2) with one fewer hydrogen atom. The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely R−CH=CH 2 where R is any other group of atoms.
Using the same principle it is used to remove polyphenols in beer production and thus clear beers with stable foam are produced. [2] One such commercial product is called Polyclar. PVPP forms bonds similar to peptidic bonds in protein (especially, like proline residues) and that is why it can precipitate tannins the same way as proteins do.
The degree of polymerization, or DP, is the number of monomeric units in a macromolecule or polymer or oligomer molecule. [1] [2] [3]For a homopolymer, there is only one type of monomeric unit and the number-average degree of polymerization is given by ¯ ¯ = ¯, where ¯ is the number-average molecular weight and is the molecular weight of the monomer unit.
