Ring-functionalized phenylcyanoacrylates continue to attract attention as intermediates and compounds with interesting properties. There are application reports exemplifying phenoxy ring substituted phenylcyanoacrylates, PCA . Thus, 3-phenoxy phenyl-substituted PCA was used in microwave-assisted Knoevenagel condensation over triazine-based microporous network as well as in condensation with imidazolium chloride immobilized SBA-15 . This PCA was used also in N,N'-Dioxide-Lanthanum(III)-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of 2-cyano-3arylacrylates with 2-bromomalonates , in synthesis of substitiuted tetrazoles , and in synthesis of electrophilic TSEs using lipase as a biocatalyst . 4-Phenoxy PCA was used in studies on quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives , whereas 3-fluorophenoxy ring-substituted PCA was employed in synergistic reduction/cyclization of 2-aroylcyclopropane-1-carboxylates . 2,6-Dimethoxy ring-substituted PCA was used in preparation of 2-cyanopropanoic acid, amide and ester derivatives as estrogen receptor selective NF-κB inhibitors for the treatment of sepsis as well as in preparation of 2-cyanopropanoic acid amide and ester derivatives as estrogen receptor binding agents for use as antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory agents . Chlorophenoxy ringsubstituted PCAs were reported in a number of applications . Thus, 3-chlorophenoxy ringsubstituted PCAwas used in preparation of cinnamic acid hydroxyamides as histone deacetylase 8 inhibitors . 4-Chlorophenoxy PCA was involved in preparation of substituted 2-(1,1dioxoperhydro-1,4-thiazepin-7-yl)acetamides for treating inflammatory respiratory diseases and preparation of substituted tetrazoles as multipurpose screening compounds . Similar ringsubstituted derivative was involved in Knoevenagel condensation catalyzed by triazine network as well as by imidazolium chloride [14]. This derivative was also applied in asymmetric cyclopropanation of propenoates with 2-bromomalonates and in synthesis of trisubstituted propenoates using lipase . 4-Phenoxy phenyl-substituted cyanoacrylates were reported in studies on quinoline derivatives . In relation to chloro-functionalized polymers of interest are reactions of poly(chlorostyrene) used as adsorbent with bifunctional ligand , application of N,N,N-tris(triethoxysilylpropyl) melamine in paper culture heritage conservation , as well as grafting of poly(p-chlorostyrene) from the surface of ramie fiber via RAFT polymerization . We have reported synthesis and styrene copolymerization of various phenoxy ring-substituted methyl , ethyl , iso-propyl , butyl , iso-butyl , methoxyethyl , octyl phenylcyanoacrylates.
