在NaCl溶液中以海藻酸钠为致孔剂制备快速温度响应型多孔聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)水凝胶

用海藻酸钠为致孔剂,在NaCl水溶液中制备了多孔聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAAm)水凝胶,分别用扫描电镜(SEM)和小角X光散射(SAXS)对PNIPAAm水凝胶的多孔结构进行了表征.结果发现,PNIPAAm水凝胶网络中的孔洞相互贯通,随着反应介质中NaCl浓度的增加,孔洞尺寸逐渐增大,孔洞排列越来越有序.相应地,PNIPAAm水凝胶的消溶胀速率随着反应介质中NaCl浓度的增加而提高.当NaCl浓度为0.6 mol/L时制备的PNIPAAm水凝胶,从室温处于平衡溶胀状态快速转移到45℃水介质中,1 min后凝胶的水保留率不足15%,4 min后消溶胀就达到平衡状态.     

多孔水凝胶研究进展

水凝胶是亲水性而又不溶于水的高分子聚合物材料，因其独特的吸水、保水和仿生特性而受到材料科学和生物医学工作者的关注。将多孔结构引入水凝胶可以极大地提高其溶胀率、溶胀速率和刺激敏感性。本文结合作者实验室开展的波聚合法制备多孔水凝胶的研究工作，较全面地介绍了国内外多孔水凝胶材料的研究现状及其在生物医药领域的应用，并对其发展前景进行了展望。     

PAMPS/SiO_2杂化水凝胶的合成及电场敏感性研究

以2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)为有机原料,正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)为无机原料,过硫酸钾为引发剂,N,N'-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺为交联剂,通过原位-凝胶水溶液聚合法合成了一系列不同二氧化硅含量和不同聚离子浓度的聚(2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸)/二氧化硅杂化电场敏感性水凝胶.通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)表征凝胶的结构,研究水凝胶在去离子水以及氯化钠溶液中的溶胀和消溶胀行为.结果表明,系列凝胶的平衡溶胀度介于224.9至325.6之间,复合凝胶的溶胀速率随TEOS用量的增加而降低;除理想杂化凝胶外,随着聚离子浓度的升高,凝胶在氯化钠溶液中的消溶胀速率逐渐减小.对凝胶的电场敏感性研究表明,当聚离子浓度大于氯化钠溶液浓度时,凝胶进一步溶胀,反之则消溶胀,其中杂化凝胶的再溶胀性能减弱,而消溶胀行为变得更为明显.同时制得的理想杂化凝胶,较纯有机凝胶具有更为理想的力学性能,最大抗压缩强度可达23.4 MPa.     

可生物降解的pH敏感水凝胶的合成及其溶胀性能研究

采用明胶和聚乙烯醇为原料,制备了戊二醛交联、明胶／聚乙烯醇配比不同的水凝胶,并用FTIR和SEM对产物进行了表征。研究了凝胶的溶胀动力学,结果表明,原料配比对各种凝胶的溶胀速率影响不大,而对平衡溶胀比与原料配比有关,室温下凝胶的平衡溶胀比在300％～500％之间。pH敏感性研究表明,几种凝胶均表现出明显的pH响应性,当溶胀介质的pH值在明胶等电点附近时,水凝胶的溶胀比达到最小值,凝胶的溶胀-消溶胀动力学曲线呈“W”形,即该凝胶具有形状记忆功能。     

PAC与PAC/HPMC水凝胶的结构及溶胀规律研究

制备了PAC与一系列PAC/HPMC水凝胶,并研究了这两类水凝胶的动态流变性。通过扫描电镜观察了其形态、结构,并进行了对比分析;在此基础上,考察了PAC与PAC/HPMC凝胶的溶胀动力学,探讨了PAC与PAC/HPMC水凝胶的溶胀机理。结果表明:冷冻干燥后的纯PAC水凝胶内部具有浅而封闭的孔洞,骨架结构较规则。而PAC/HPMC水凝胶凝胶骨架多褶皱、孔洞互穿。并且HPMC的黏度越大,凝胶的孔洞结构越复杂,孔洞贯穿现象越明显;PAC/HPMC凝胶的平衡溶胀率和溶胀速率均大于纯PAC凝胶;随着HPMC黏度增大,PAC/HPMC凝胶的平衡溶胀率也增大。在所研究的范围内,HPMC的用量对PAC/HPMC凝胶的溶胀速率和平衡溶胀率影响不显著;PAC凝胶的溶胀机理属于水分子的Fickian扩散过程,而PAC/HPMC凝胶的溶胀机理属于非Fickian扩散,HPMC的分子链松弛在其中起着不容忽视的作用。     

一种快速响应电场敏感多孔水凝胶的合成及其性能研究

以4-乙酰基丙烯酰乙酸乙酯(AAEA)、2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基-1-丙磺酸(AMPS)为单体,不同分子量的聚乙二醇(PEG)为成孔剂,通过自由基溶液聚合法,合成了新型多孔快速响应电场敏感性水凝胶.结果表明,成孔剂PEG被洗脱后在凝胶内部形成了互相贯穿的孔洞结构,孔径在30～120μm之间.以PEG6000为成孔剂致孔后的多孔凝胶溶胀速率和消溶胀速率最快,在去离子水中30s达到溶胀平衡,在0.1mol/L的NaCl溶液中40min达到消溶胀平衡;电场作用下凝胶的消溶胀速度大大加快,12min内即可达到平衡.凝胶中AMPS含量的增多会加快凝胶在电场中的响应速度;而高温下,随着AAEA含量的增加,凝胶内部疏水基团增多并收缩产生大量的疏水微区,限制了凝胶内部水分的持续排出,因此n(AAEA)∶n(AMPS)=3∶1的凝胶4min内即可排出表面水分达到消溶胀平衡,可保水率却高达75%.同时,增大电解液的pH值、浓度以及提高电解电压,均会加快凝胶的消溶胀行为.     

多孔聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺水凝胶的制备与缓释性能

以N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(NIPA)、N,N-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺(MBA)和聚乙二醇(PEG)为原料,以60Co-γ射线为放射源制备了快速响应聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(PNIPA)多孔水凝胶。用红外光谱分析了水凝胶的结构,并测定了水凝胶的溶胀动力学、退溶胀动力学和平衡溶胀率。结果表明,PEG分子仅在聚合交联过程中充当成孔剂,不参与反应,反应后可被除去;水凝胶具有明显的温度敏感性,成孔剂的添加提高了水凝胶的溶胀性能和LCST。选用阿司匹林为模型药物,对水凝胶的药物缓释性能进行了初步研究。     

温度及pH敏感性共聚物水凝胶的合成及其对辅酶A的控制释放

以N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮(NVP)和甲基丙烯酸-N,N-二甲胺乙酯(DMAEMA)为单体,采用自由基聚合法合成了NVP与DMAEMA的共聚物及其水凝胶。研究发现共聚物的水溶液具有温度及pH双重敏感特性。相分离温度随DMAEMA含量的增加和水溶液浓度的降低而升高,随pH值的增大而减小且相变敏锐。通过对水凝胶溶胀率的考察,发现共聚凝胶在适当的单体浓度及交联剂浓度下,有较敏感的溶胀-退胀行为。在碱性条件下,共聚凝胶随温度的升高迅速退胀。pH=9时,改变温度,对辅酶A有很好的控制释放;而在酸性条件下,则无退胀行为,对辅酶A不能释放。     

P(AMPS-co-BMA)水凝胶的电场敏感性及电刺激响应机理

以离子型单体2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)及非离子型单体甲基丙烯酸丁酯为原料,偶氮二异丁腈为引发剂,N,N′-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺为交联剂,N,N-二甲基甲酰胺为溶剂,通过自由基聚合合成了一系列聚离子浓度不同的聚(2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸-co-甲基丙烯酸丁酯)电场敏感性水凝胶.研究了其在去离子水及NaCl溶液中的溶胀行为.结果表明,该水凝胶在去离子水中的平衡溶胀度在236.4~298.5之间,其溶胀速率随着AMPS用量的增加而增加;并且随着凝胶内部聚离子浓度的增加,凝胶在NaCl溶液中的消溶胀速率及消溶胀度逐渐减小.凝胶的电刺激响应性能研究结果表明,在电场存在下,凝胶在NaCl溶液中的溶胀行为与凝胶内部聚离子浓度和溶液中NaCl浓度的相对大小有关,当凝胶内部聚离子浓度大于溶液中NaCl浓度时,凝胶溶胀,反之则凝胶消溶胀;而且,凝胶在电场作用下的偏转行为同样与凝胶内部聚离子浓度和溶液中NaCl浓度的相对大小有关,当凝胶内部聚离子浓度大于溶液中NaCl浓度时,偏向阴极,反之则凝胶偏向阳极.另外,在电场存在下,凝胶在NaCl溶液中的电偏转速度与环境温度密切相关.

An efficient approach to the synthesis of highly congested di, penta and hexacyclic pyrazoles as well as imidazole fragment containing novel heterocyclic molecule has been developed through a carbanion induced transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans. Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

Selective synthesis of 4,5-dihydroimidazo- and imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines via modified Pictet–Spengler reaction

An efficient tandem approach for the selective synthesis of 4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines 6a–g and imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines 7a–h by the reaction of 2-imidazolyl anilines 4a–c with aryl aldehydes 5a–k under mild reaction conditions is described. Introduction of electron releasing alkyl groups in substrates 4a–b was found to be instrumental for the success of the reaction.     

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.     

Catalyst free,visible-light promoted photoaddition reactions between C60 and N-trimethylsilylmethyl-substituted tertiary amines for synthesis of aminomethyl-1,2-dihydrofullerenes

An efficient and benign method for the preparation of aminomethyl-substituted fullerenes has been developed. The process, involving catalyst free, visible-light irradiation of 10% EtOH-toluene solutions containing fullerene C₆₀ and N-trimethylsilylmethyl-substituted amines by using a 20 W compact fluorescent lamp, leads to formation of aminomethyl-substituted fullerene adducts in a highly efficient manner. The photoaddition reaction takes place via a pathway initiated by visible light absorption by C₆₀, followed by SET from the amine to the triplet excited state of C₆₀. Ethanol-promoted desilylation of the resulting a minimum radical then generates the corresponding α-amino radical which couples with the C₆₀ radical anion to form the anion precursor of the fullerene adducts. The new approach using visible-light takes place under mild conditions and it does not require the use of photocatalysts. Thus, the method developed in this effort could broadens the range of functionalized fullerene derivatives that can be readily prepared.     

Highly efficient and stereoselective cycloaddition of nitrones to indolyl- and pyrrolylacrylates

The reactions of various nitrones with indolyl- and pyrrolylacrylates proceeds regioselectively with high diastereoselectivity in the case of aldonitrones, and represents an effective method for obtaining new indolyl- and pyrrolyl-substituted isoxazolidine carboxylates stabilized by weak (CH?O) and moderate (NH?N) strength intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The resulting cycloadducts exhibit promising in vitro anti-influenza activities.

Multifunctionalized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines are concisely synthesized in good yields via l-proline-catalyzed or l-proline/FeCl₃-cocatalyzed one-pot multicomponent reactions (MCRs). The MCRs involve a domino hydroamination/prins reaction/Mannich-type reaction/intramolecular dehydration-cyclization process. The molecular structure of 5baa, one of multifunctionalized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Exploring the scope of the Gewald reaction: Expansion to a four-component process

An efficient four-component reaction was developed to take advantage of the reactivity of the 2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitrile functionality, which is obtained during the classical three-component Gewald reaction. Various α-methylene bearing ketones were reacted with malononitrile, elemental sulfur, and aryl/heteroarylnitrile derivatives in t-BuOH/NaOH to afford 2-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amines in high yields. Preliminary studies revealed the photophysical properties of the products and their potential for use as metal sensors.
