The Gibbs free energy equation for solutions of them is modified in Flory-Huggins theory.
Without the template effect, one of these compounds, not a crown ether, is the product in 18-crown-6 synthesis. One of these compounds is chloromethylated before the carboxy end of an amino acid displaces the chlorine in the Merrifield synthesis. One synthesis of these compounds opens with strong bases attacking a methylene carbon, generating a carbanion. The Gibbs free energy equation for solutions of them is modified in Flory-Huggins theory. Hermann Staudinger got the Nobel for studying these compounds, whose relative stereochemistry is called tacticity. They can be formed by a free radical mechanism with initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Ziegler-Natta catalysts help form, for 10 points, what compounds, such as neoprene, that consist of repeating monomers?
