Definitions The modifier "about" is used herein to indicate that certain preferred operating ranges, such as ranges for molar ratios for reactants, material amounts, and temperature, are not fixedly determined. The meaning will often be apparent to one of ordinary skill. For example, a recitation of a temperature range of about 120° C to about 135° C in reference to, for example, an organic chemical reaction would be interpreted to include other like temperatures that can be expected to favor a useful reaction rate for the reaction, such as 105° C or 150° C. Where guidance from the experience of those of ordinary skill is lacking, guidance from the context is lacking, and where a more specific rule is not recited below, the "about" range shall be not more than 10% of the absolute value of an end point or 10% of the range recited, whichever is less.
As used in this specification and unless otherwise indicated the substiruent terms "alkyl", "alkenyl", "alkoxy", and "haloalkyl", used alone or as part of a larger moiety, includes straight or branched chains of at least one or two carbon atoms, as appropriate to the substituent, and preferably up to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably up to ten carbon atoms, most preferably up to seven carbon atoms, wherein
"alkenyl" has at least one carbon to carbon double bond. "Halogen", "halide" or "halo" refers to fluorine, bromine, iodine, or chlorine. The term "ambient temperature" refers to a temperature in the range of about 20° C to about 30° C. Certain solvents, catalysts, and the like are known by their acronyms. These include the acronyms "DMAC" meaning N,N-dimethylacetamide, "DMF" meaning N5N- dimethylforrnarnide, "THF" meaning tetrahydrofuran. The term "glymes" refers to a class of solvents comprised of monoglyme, diglyme, triglyme, tetraglyme, and polyglyme.
