I am doing project on conversion of hydroxyl group of polybutadiene to carboxyl group. So is there any procedure which can be carried out on lab scale?
you can try most outstanding OH oxidation procedures, where I suggest the use of IBX (free or supported) since it is a powerfull oxidazing agent. The literature date are widely available, but if you need any specific document please feel free to email me. Regards
I agree with Rame reaction with succinic anhydride can give you the desired effect. ANother possiblity to use citric acid and make esteridication reaction catalyzed by acidic condition.
I agree with bothRamesh and Dr. Abdelkader. Both are very appropriate. However, you have to check hazards, if ay, for HTPB reaction as it has one use as propellant binder.
