Synthesis and thermal transformations of polyphosphosiloxane based on trimethyl phosphate and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane

A method for the synthesis of polyphosphosiloxane by the thermal condensation of an equimolar mixture of trimethyl phosphate and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane at 200 °C was developed. The reaction affords ethanol and polyphosphosiloxane-{Si(OEt)[(CH₂)₃NR¹R²]-O-P(O)(OMe)-O}_n-(R¹ = H, Me; R² = Me), whose composition and structure were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The scheme of polymerization involving the intermediate formation of methyl-and dimethylphosphoric acids and their condensation with ethoxysilanes was proposed. The calcination of the obtained polyphosphosiloxane in vacuo at 350 °C results in the elimination of the amino groups and alkoxide substituents, and a spatially cross-linked polymer is formed as an amorphous powder. Its further thermolysis at 600 and 1000 °C gives crystalline phosphosilicates Si₅O(PO₄)₆ or SiP₂O₇. Their amorphous and crystalline samples were characterized by IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and solid-state ¹³C and ³¹P spectroscopy. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal structures of 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-hydroxymethyl-ethylamino)-methylene]-4-nitro-cyclohexa-2,4-dienone hydrate and 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-hydroxymethyl-ethylamino)-methylene]-4-bromo-cyclohexa-2,4-dienone

Crystal structures of 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-hydroxymethyl-ethylamino)-methylene]-4-nitro-cyclohexa-2,4-dienone hydrate (I) and 6-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-hydroxymethyl-ethylamino)-methylene]-4-bromo-cyclohexa-2,4-dienone (II) have been determined. The crystals of I are monoclinic, a = 16.957(1) Å, b = 10.729(2) Å, c = 7.240(3) Å; β = 99.56(3)°, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, R = 0.0492. The crystals of II are triclinic, a = 10.282(2) Å, b = 7.189(3) Å, c = 16.831(3) Å; α = 90.67(3)°, β = 100.10(3)°, γ = 95.87(3)°; space group P-1, Z = 4, R = 0.0591. The independent part of the unit cell of I contains one unique molecule and water of crystallization, while in II — two unique molecules A and B. C(CH₂OH)₃ fragment of the molecule B manifests the disordering of alcohol oxygen atoms. Both in I and II, the salicylidene fragment of the molecules exists in the quinoid tautomeric form.

Condensation of 1-alkyl-, 1-allyl-, and 1-benzyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones with benzaldehydes in acetic acid and subsequent treatment of the reaction mixture with potassium hydroxide afforded 1-substituted 9a-(2-phenylethenyl)-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one derivatives. 1-Methyl- and 1-ethyl-9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones were synthesized by alkylation of 9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one with methyl- and ethyl iodides in DMF in the presence of a strong base.

ZnO-beta zeolite: as an effective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of polyhydroquinolines

Abstract

ZnO-beta zeolite, an inexpensive and mild catalyst, has been used for the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines in excellent yields from the one-pot four-component condensation of aldehydes, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate in ethanol at room temperature. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are a green catalyst, mild reaction conditions, simple work-up procedures, much faster reactions, and excellent yield of products. Furthermore, the catalyst could be reused several times keeping its initial activity in recycled reactions.

Three‐arm star block copolymers of aromatic polyether and polystyrene from chain‐growth condensation polymerization,atom transfer radical polymerization,and click reaction

Well‐defined (AB)₃ type star block copolymer consisting of aromatic polyether arms as the A segment and polystyrene (PSt) arms as the B segment was prepared using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), chain‐growth condensation polymerization (CGCP), and click reaction. ATRP of styrene was carried out in the presence of 2,4,6‐tris(bromomethyl)mesitylene as a trifunctional initiator, and then the terminal bromines of the polymer were transformed to azide groups with NaN₃. The azide groups were converted to 4‐fluorobenzophenone moieties as CGCP initiator units by click reaction. However, when CGCP was attempted, a small amount of unreacted initiator units remained. Therefore, the azide‐terminated PSt was then used for click reaction with alkyne‐terminated aromatic polyether, obtained by CGCP with an initiator bearing an acetylene unit. Excess alkyne‐terminated aromatic polyether was removed from the crude product by means of preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to yield the (AB)₃ type star block copolymer (M_n = 9910, M_w/M_n = 1.10). This star block copolymer, which contains aromatic polyether segments with low solubility in the shell unit, exhibited lower solubility than A₂B or AB₂ type miktoarm star copolymers. In addition, the obtained star block copolymer self‐assembled to form spherical aggregates in solution and plate‐like structures in film. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
