Abstract

A one step procedure has been found that converts 2,2'-methylenedifuran (1) into 2,2,',2",2'''-(1,2-ethanediylidene)tetrafuran (4: 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(furan-2-yl)ethane). This compound adopts two similar C-2V-symmetrical conformations (4A and 4A') in the crystalline state in which the C-H bond of the 1,2-ethanediylidene moieties is anti-periplanar with the C(2)-O bond of the vicinal furan-2-yl groups. Tetrafuran (4) is little reactive toward dienophiles with normal electronic demand. With dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate a single 1:1 adduct (8) (dimethyl (1RS,2RS,2aRS,5SR,5aRS,6RS,8aRS,8bSR)-1,2-di(furan-2-yl)-1,2-dihydro-5H, 6H-2a,5:6,8a-diepoxyacenaphthylene-5a,8b-dicarboxylate) was isolated. Its structure was established by single crystal X-Ray radiocrystallography.

Consumer electronics

Consumer electronics or home electronics are electronic (analog or digital) equipment intended for everyday use, typically in private homes. Consumer electronics include devices used for entertainment, communications and recreation. Usually referred to as black goods due to many products being housed in black or dark casings. This term is used to distinguish them from "white goods" which are meant for housekeeping tasks, such as washing machines and refrigerators, although nowadays, these would be considered black goods, some of these being connected to the Internet.

Electronic waste

Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. It is also commonly known as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) or end-of-life (EOL) electronics. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.

Crystal

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. In addition, macroscopic single crystals are usually identifiable by their geometrical shape, consisting of flat faces with specific, characteristic orientations. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
