Abstract

Abstract: The reactions of N-vinylcarbazole (NVCZ) with electrophilic tetrasubstituted ethylenes were studied in detail as an example of a reaction whose outcome can be manipulated by changes in concentration, structure, and working procedure to form either small molecules (cyclobutanes, 1-butenes) or poly (viny1carbazole). Equivalent concentrations and evaporating workup (organic chemists's conditions) lead to small ...
