Spinodal decomposition of two homopolymers with their block copolymer: A comparison of models

The dynamics of phase separation in the presence of a diblock copolymer have been studied using ternary and quaternary models of spinodal decomposition. The ternary model treats the block copolymer as a third component that is compatible with each of the mutually incompatible homopolymers. The quaternary model treats the block copolymer as a pair of specially constrained homopolymers. Both models predict core-shell morphologies with the copolymer concentrated at the interface. Both models predict larger domain sizes and less sharp phase boundaries in the early stages of spinodal decomposition. In the late stages, domain sizes are largest for the system of homopolymers without copolymer and smallest when a system containing copolymer is modeled as a quaternary blend. The scaling exponent observed for the quaternary model was s = 0.25 ± 0.02 compared to s ≅ 0.3 for the homopolymers without copolymer and for the ternary model. The quaternary model predicts internal phase separation within a pure diblock copolymer, whenever the corresponding homopolymers are sufficiently incompatible. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis of quaternary succinimides promoted by Ferric Nitrate

An efficient protocol has been accomplished for the synthesis of quaternary α-aminosuccinimides in toluene medium involving 2-phenylimidazo[1, 2-a]pyridine in a one-pot reaction promoted by Ferric Nitrate at 120?°C. The protocol presented herein, is for the first time, via a novel transformation where Ferric Nitrate promotes imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine structural metamorphosis to the title compound quaternary succinimides. High compatibility, easy work-up, and excellent yields are the advantages of this protocol. The quaternary α-aminosuccinimides are expected to have great potential in synthesizing quaternary α-amino acids and applications in medicinal chemistry.

Effect of the concentrations of triphenyltin chloride and anion exchanger on the anion selectivity of a plasticized PVC membrane electrode

 Potentiometric selectivities of a plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane containing a hydrophobic quaternary ammonium salt and triphenyltin chloride (TPTCl) for several inorganic anions were evaluated by measurements of the membrane potential of a bi-ionic system (the so-called bi-ionic membrane potential). The addition of TPTCl to the plasticized PVC membrane containing a quaternary ammonium salt gave rise to selectivity patterns different from the Hofmeister anion series, which is observed for a membrane containing only the quaternary ammonium salt. The change in the selectivity pattern from the Hofmeister to the non-Hofmeister was observed under conditions where the TPTCl concentration was higher than the quaternary ammonium salt in the membrane. Response mechanisms and the selectivity of the TPTCl-based electrode are discussed with respect to the concentration dependence of TPTCl and quaternary ammonium salt in the membrane.

An efficient synthesis of the carbocyclic core of zoanthenol

A concise strategy for the synthesis of the carbocyclic portion of zoanthenol is disclosed. The key step involves a 6-endo radical-mediated conjugate addition that constructs the quaternary stereocenter at C(12) and closes the B ring in a stereoselective manner. The synthesis of the C-ring fragment uses an enantioselective desymmetrization to simultaneously establish the absolute stereochemistry of two vicinal quaternary stereocenters. In only 17 steps from known compounds, the route affords an ABC ring system containing all three quaternary stereocenters and appropriate functionality to complete the synthesis of zoanthenol.

Measured and Predicted Solubility Phase Diagrams of Quaternary Systems LiBr-NaBr-MgBr2-H2O and LiBr-KBr-MgBr2-H2O at 298.15 K

The stable phase equilibria of quaternary systems LiBr-NaBr-MgBr₂-H₂O and LiBr-KBr-MgBr₂-H₂O at 298.15 K were studied by both experimental measurement(isothermal solution saturation method) and theoretical prediction(Pitzer model). The solubilities of the saturated solution have been determined experimentally and two stable phase diagrams and relevant water diagrams of the two quaternary systems were obtained. Results show that quaternary system LiBr-NaBr-MgBr₂-H₂O is hydrate II type as NaBr and NaBr·2H₂O coexistence. Its phase diagram consists of only one invariant point, four univariant curves, and five crystallization fields. The quaternary system LiBr-KBr-MgBr₂-H₂O is a complex type as the double salt KBr·MgBr₂·6H₂O formed. In addition to this double salt, the three single salts LiBr·2H₂O, KBr and MgBr₂·6H₂O also crystallize. In this paper, the solubilities of phase equilibria in above quaternary systems were also calculated by the Pitzer's electrolyte solution model. All the needed parameters can be obtained from the literature or be fitted by experimental data. On the Basis of the experimental and calculated results, the phase diagram of the quaternary system was plotted for comparison. It shows that the calculation results are consistent with the experimental ones.     

The Competition of Charge Remote and Charge Directed Fragmentation Mechanisms in Quaternary Ammonium Salt Derivatized Peptides—An Isotopic Exchange Study

Derivatization of peptides as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) is a promising method for sensitive detection by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (Cydzik et al. J. Pept. Sci. 2011, 17, 445–453). The peptides derivatized by QAS at their N-termini undergo fragmentation according to the two competing mechanisms – charge remote (ChR) and charge directed (ChD). The absence of mobile proton in the quaternary salt ion results in ChR dissociation of a peptide bond. However, Hofmann elimination of quaternary salt creates an ion with one mobile proton leading to the ChD fragmentation. The experiments on the quaternary ammonium salts with deuterated N-alkyl groups or amide NH bonds revealed that QAS derivatized peptides dissociate according to the mixed ChR-ChD mechanism. The isotopic labeling allows differentiation of fragments formed according to ChR and ChD mechanisms.

Phase equilibria in the palladium-rich part of the Pd–Au–Cu–Sn quaternary system

The solubility of tin in the phases of Pd–Au–Sn and Pd–Cu–Sn ternary systems and a Pd–Au–Cu–Sn quaternary system with a fixed Pd: Au: Cu ratio of 11.1: 1: 4.6 is studied via microstructural, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis. It is found that a quaternary alloy in equilibrium with a solid solution based on Pd, Au, and Sn contains a τ₁ compound with structure which is derivative of the In type. It contains ~15 at % Sn and is a solid solution of the same compounds identified earlier in Pd–Au–Sn and Pd–Cu–Sn ternary systems. In addition, a quaternary alloy with a content of 20 at % Sn also contains a τ₂ compound with the Pd₂CuSn own type and can barely dissolve gold. The obtained data are used to construct a three-dimensional model of the Pd-rich part of the isothermal tetrahedron of the Pd–Au–Cu–Sn system and diagrams of the tin solubility isolines in palladium-rich alloys of the quaternary system at 500°С.     

Mixed ternary ion associate formation between xanthene dye, cinchona-alkaloid and quaternary ammonium ion and its application to the determination of trace amounts of quaternary ammonium salts in pharmaceuticals

Xanthene dyes such as eosin and tetraiodofluorescein form 1:2 ion associates with quaternary ammonium ions at pH 7-9; however, the development of color in the organic solvent is poor. When a quaternary ammonium salt is added in the extractable 1:2 associate formed between a xanthene dye and a cinchona-alkaloid in the neutral media, a mixed ternary ion associate (xanthene dye:cinchona-alkaloid:quaternary ammonium ion=1:1:1) is formed. Its extractability is enhanced due to the more bulky associate formation. The ion association caused by addition of cinchona-alkaloids is unique. Of the cinchona-alkaloids, quinidine and cinchonidine with tetraiodofluorescein show excellent effects on sensitivity and extractability. Eosin and tetraiodofluorescein are useful as ion association reagents in the ion associate formation. The apparent molar absorptivities are about 1×10⁵ l mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and the calibration range for quaternary ammonium salt is from 2.5×10⁻⁷ to 1.5×10⁻⁶ M. The proposed method is applicable to the selective and sensitive determination of cetylpyridinium chloride, berberine chloride and benzethonium chloride in pharmaceuticals.     

Epoxide as precatalyst for metal-free catalytic transesterification

Transesterification of methyl esters was accelerated by an in situ-generated metal-free catalyst comprising a quaternary alkylammonium salt and an epoxide. The combination of a quaternary alkylammonium acetate and glycidol is optimal, and various esters were synthesized from methyl esters with alcohols in good to excellent yield. Analysis of the catalyst solution revealed that basic species are generated by the ring-opening reaction of epoxide.     

Analysis of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds by Ion-Pair Thin Layer Chromatography on Silica Gel

Abstract

A general approach to the chromatographic analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds on silica gel thin layers is described. The quaternary cations migrate as ion pairs with bromide or iodide as counter ions. Methanol or chloroform-methanol mixtures serve as developing solvents, in which excess amounts of NaBr or NaI are dissolved. If the solvent cannot dissolve sufficient quantities of halide salts, the latter can be sprayed onto the plate as a methanol solution prior to development. The separation patterns of the quaternary ammonium compounds can be influenced by the choice of counter ion and by the choice of the organic solvent components.     

Phase equilibrium in the system RbCl-EuCl<Subscript>3</Subscript>-HCl(13.44, 22.75%)-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O at 298.15 K

Solubility of the quaternary system RbCl-EuCl₃-HCl(13.44, 22.75%)-H₂O at 298.15 K was determined and corresponding equilibrium diagrams were constructed. The quaternary system is simple, and consists of two equilibrium solid phases RbCl and EuCl₃ · 6H₂O. The composition of double saturation point (average) is 13.29% HCl, 16.18% RbCl, and 18.72% EuCl₃ for the RbCl-EuCl₃-HCl(13.44%)-H₂O quaternary system, and 22.44% HCl, 15.59% RbCl, and 6.26% EuCl₃ for the RbCl-EuCl₃-HCl (22.75%)-H₂O quaternary system.     

Insoluble polystyrene-bound quaternary onium salt catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by the reaction of oxiranes with carbon dioxide

The addition reaction of oxiranes ( 26a—e ) with carbon dioxide (CO₂) was performed using insoluble polystyrene beads containing pendant quaternary ammonium or phosphonium salts as catalysts under atmospheric pressure. The reaction of 26a—e with CO₂ proceeded smoothly catalyzed by 1–2 mol % of the polymer-supported quaternary onium salts to give the corresponding cyclic carbonates ( 27a—e ) in high yields at 80–90°C. In this reaction system, the catalytic activity of the polymer-supported quaternary onium salts was strongly affected by the following factors: degree of ring substitution (DRS) of the onium salt residues to the polymer, degree of crosslinking (DC) of the polystyrene beads, chain length of the alkylene spacer between the polymer back-bone and the onium salt, hydrophobicity of the alkyl group on the onium salts, and kind of onium salts. That is, the polymer-supported quaternary phosphonium salts with low DRS and DC and with long alkylene spacer chain were found to have higher catalytic activity than low molecualr weight quaternary onium salts. The above polymer-supported catalysts can easily be separated at the end of a reaction by filtration and can be reused for at least seven runs. It was also found that the rate of reaction was proportional to the products of catalyst concentration and oxirane concentration. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Construction of Chiral Quaternary Carbon Centers via Asymmetric Metal Carbene gem-Dialkylation

The catalytic asymmetric construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has received tremendous interest over the past decades, and numerous efficient protocols have been disclosed based on the formation of one C−C bond between two assembling reactants. However, the use of asymmetric multi-component reactions that build two C−C bonds on the same carbonic center with concomitant assembly of quaternary stereocenters is rare and remains challenging. Herein, we disclose an enantioselective three-component reaction of α-diazo ketones with alkenes and 1,3,5-triazines under dirhodium/chiral phosphoric acid cooperative catalysis, which leads to a practical and atom-economic synthesis of poly-functionalized chiral ketones that bear a α-quaternary stereocenter in generally good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. In comparison to the previous method for the construction of tertiary and quaternary stereocenters via carbene gem-difunctionalization reactions, this reaction features an unprecedented gem-dialkylation process via sequential installation of two C−C bonds on the carbene center in one reaction, providing an essential complement to the asymmetric construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters using common and readily available starting materials.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)‐Flavisiamine F via Late‐Stage Visible‐Light‐Induced Photochemical Cyclization

The structural features Kopsia alkaloids, in particular multiple all‐carbon quaternary stereocenters in a caged and strained polycyclic skeleton, poses particular challenges for enantioselective total synthesis. Herein, we reported the first total synthesis of (+)‐flavisiamine F. The synthetic approach involved a room‐temperature Overman rearrangement for introducing the chiral amine at C21, a TMS‐promoted ketal Claisen rearrangement for constructing the all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter at C20, and a late‐stage visible‐light‐induced photochemical cyclization for establishing the all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter at C7.
