Fluorinated styrene-based monomers for cyclopolymerizations

The synthesis of versatile fluorine compounds and monomers for conducting polymer research and cyclopolymerizations is presented. Semiprotected 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthaldehyde 1 could be elaborated through Wittig olefination chemistry, deprotection and reduction to the previously unknown 4-vinyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzylalcohol 8 in good yields. Compound 8 can be reacted to form the malonate ester, and then alkylation on the malonate moiety in mild conditions affords difunctional monomer 3. Through sequential esterifications on the malonate moiety, and subsequent alkylation, compound 4, a difunctional monomer for cyclopolymerization bearing one styrene and one perfluoroaryl styrene moiety, has been obtained. Preliminary experiments show that it is possible to cyclopolymerize 4 under free radical conditions.     

CARBAZOLE-CONTAINING HYPERBRANCHED POLY（ARYLENEETHYNYLENE）S： SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND PROPERTIES

New hyperbranched poly(aryleneethynylene)s containing carbazole moieties are synthesized in high yields(up to 87%)by polycyclotrimerization of 3,6-bis(4-ethynylphenyl)-9-octylcarbazole and its copolymerization with 1-octyne catalyzed by CpCo(CO)_2 in THF.The structures and properties of the polymers are characterized and evaluated by IR,NMR, TGA,UV,photoluminescence,and cyclic voltammetry analyses.All the polymers are soluble in common organic solvents and show outstanding thermal stability(≥430℃).They graphitize in high yields(up to 79%)when pyrolyzed at 800℃. Upon photoexcitation,the polymers emit a strong deep blue light of ca.400 nm with quantum yields larger than 60%.     

Rheological behavior of associating ionic polymers based on diallylammonium salts containing single-, twin-, and triple-tailed hydrophobes

The cycloterpolymerizations of N,N-diallyl-(4-octyloxy)benzyl-, N,N-diallyl-(3,5-dioctyloxy)benzyl-, and N,N-diallyl-(3,4,5-trioctyloxy)benzyl-ammonium chloride (0-8 mol%) with hydrophilic monomer N,N-diallyl-N-carboethoxymethylammonium chloride and sulfur dioxide afforded a series of cationic polyelectrolytes (CPE). The CPEs were treated with HCl and NaOH to produce the corresponding pH-responsive cationic acid salts (CAS) and polybetaines (PB), anionic polyelectrolytes (APE) as well as polymers PB/APE containing various proportions of zwitterionic (PB) and anionic fractions (APE) in the polymer chain. Likewise, the cycloterpolymerizations of these single-, twin-, and triple-tailed hydrophobes (0-12 mol%) with hydrophilic monomer diallyldimethylammonium chloride and sulfur dioxide afforded a series of CPE in excellent yields. The polymers were characterized by different techniques including NMR and IR. The solution properties of the series of CPE were investigated by rheological techniques. The studied water soluble polymers showed different rheological behavior depending on their structure (hydrophobe type and content) as well as salinity and pH. The high shear thinning and the formation of networks at low shear would likely promote the use of such polymers in enhanced oil recovery applications.

SYNTHESIS CHARACTERIZATION AND REMEDIATION POTENTIAL OF POLYMERIZABLE SURFACTANT MONOMERS OF N,N-DIALLYL-N,N-DIALKYL AMMONIUM CHLORIDE

The amphiphilic polymerizable surfactants N,N-diallyl-N,N-dioctylammonium chloride, N,N-diallyl-N,N-didecylammonium chloride and N,N-diallyl-N,N-didodecylammonium chloride have been synthesized. Experimental techniques including dynamic light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and atomic force microscopy indicate the monomers form large, well-organized structures similar to vesicles of naturally occurring lipids. Studies of the sequestration of a model foulant by the didodecyl monomer revealed a strong interaction with a high degree of binding. The loading of higher amounts of cresol causes a change in the properties of the monomer assemblies indicating the formation of mixed micellar aggregates. The large monomer aggregates are retained by the dialysis membrane and present a potential alternative to small micellar assemblies.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF POLY(1,6-HEPTADIYNE) HAVING A BULKY AND RIGID t-BUTYLBENZOYL GROUP

The polymerization of 4,4-bis(t-butylbenzoylmethyl)-1,6-hepta-diyne (BTBH) was carried out by group 5,6-transition metal catalysts. MoCl₅- as well as WCl₆-based catalysts were effective for the cyclopolymerization of BTBH. The polymer structure was analyzed to have conjugated backbone and recurring 5-membered ring by various spectroscopes. The polymer showed good solubility in common organic solvents. The polymer had good thermal stability and mechanical property. The oxygen permeability coefficient (PO₂) and permselectivity of oxygen to nitrogen (PO₂/PN₂) of poly(BTBH) with bulky and rigid t-butyl benzoyl group were 23.2 barrer and 4.63, respectively.     

Living characteristics of the free-radical ring-closing polymerization of diallyldimethylammonium chloride

In this communication we provide the most recent results on RAFT-mediated ring-closing polymerization of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC). The polymerization was carried out in aqueous solution employing 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine)-dihydrochloride as the free radical initiator and trithiocarbonate RAFT agent (2-{[(dodecylsulfanyl)carbonothioyl sulfanyl]}propanoic acid, DoPAT) as the controlling RAFT agent. The results show that – while the system is not as completely controlled as previously described – it is nevertheless possible to mediate the polymerization of DADMAC and impart some living characteristics onto the system. The initial study on the RAFT-mediated polymerization of DADMAC may have overestimated the degree of livingness within this reaction. However, it is possible – at low conversions – for some living characteristics to be observed, as the evolution of molecular weight with conversion is linear. In addition, polymers with a reasonably narrow polydispersity can be isolated.     

Syntheses of hydrophobically modified cationic hydrogels by copolymerization of alkyl substituted diallylamine monomers and their use as bile acid sequestrants

A novel class of cationic hydrogels bearing cyclic structures along the polymer backbone has been prepared and these hydrogels have been evaluated as bile acid sequestrants in vivo. The polymeric gels were prepared by the crosslinking cyclocopolymerization of hydrophobically modified dialkyldiallylammonium salts in the presence of different multifunctional crosslinking monomers. The roles of various crosslinking monomers, concentrations of crosslinking monomers, as well as alkyl chain length of dialkyldiallylammonium monomers on the physicochemical properties of the resulting hydrogels have been evaluated. From these preliminary in vivo studies it appears that these cationic hydrogels are excellent bile acid sequestrants and promising cholesterol lowering agents.     

Synthesis and solution properties of amphiphilic cycloterpolymers of 1,1-diallyl-4-formylpiperizinium chloride, diallyloctadecylammonium chloride and sulfur dioxide

The cycloterpolymerizations of hydrophilic monomer (1,1-diallyl-4-formylpiperizinium chloride) with hydrophobic monomer (diallyloctadecylammonium chloride) and sulfur dioxide in dimethyl sulfoxide using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator afforded a series of water-soluble monocationic polyelectrolytes (MCPEs) in well over 90% yields. Acidic (HCl) hydrolysis of the N-formyl groups in MCPEs to NH₂⁺Cl⁻ groups gave the dicationic polyelectrolytes (DCPEs), which on treatment with one equivalent of NaOH furnished the basic cationic polyelectrolytes (BCPEs) containing basic as well as quaternary nitrogens. The solution properties of the resultant series of interconverting polyelectrolytes (MCPE → DCPE ↔ BCPE) were investigated by viscometric techniques. The polymer concentration C∗_HA of 0.2 g/dL was required for the manifestation of hydrophobic associations in a MCPE containing 4.5 mol% octadecyl pendents. The DCPEs exhibited sharp increase in viscosity in salt (NaCl)-added solution as compared to salt-free water. The pH-responsive BCPE is shown to demonstrate better associative properties in the absence of HCl; upon addition of HCl, the charge density increases in the polymer chains thereby resulting in increased electrostatic repulsions and decreased associations. Polymer-surfactant interactions were investigated using cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC); tremendous increase in the viscosity values of the DCPE was observed in the presence of the surfactant.
