Synthesis and Properties of Polyurethane Resins from Liquefied Benzylated Wood

In this paper, polyurethane resins were synthesized from liquefied benzylated wood and TDI (toluene diisocyanate)-TMP (trihydromethylene propane) prepolymer. And the relation between microphase structure and properties of PU samples were also studied. The results indicated that coatings obtained had good mechanical and thermal properties. The amount of the curing agent has great effect on the degree of phase segregation. In addition, with increased the curing agent amount, the thermal stabilities were also improved.     

Solid‐Phase Synthesis of N‐Aryl‐N′‐Carboalkoxy Guanidines by the Mitsunobu Reaction of Fmoc‐Guanidines

Abstract

A new method for the solid‐phase synthesis of N‐aryl‐N′‐carboalkoxy guanidines is described. Aromatic amines were reacted with Fmoc‐isothiocyanate to provide Fmoc‐thioureas, which were coupled with Rink amide resin to provide the corresponding resin‐bound Fmoc‐guanidines. Subsequent Mitsunobu alkylation with a variety of alcohols delivered N‐aryl‐N′ carboalkoxy guanidines in good to high purity after resin cleavage.

Synthesis and Properties of Surfactants derived from N‐Acetyl‐D‐Glucosamine

The synthesis of 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐6‐O‐octanoyl‐D‐glucono‐1,5‐lactone 9 and 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐6‐O‐octanoyl‐α‐D‐glucopyranose 7 from 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐α‐D‐glucopyranose is reported. For both targets, the key intermediate was allyl 2‐acetamido‐3,4‐di‐O‐benzyl‐2‐deoxy‐6‐O‐octanoyl‐α‐D‐glucopyranoside 5. Surface tension measurements (critical micellar concentration of 22.3 mM and 5 mM for 9 and 7, respectively) showed up the surface activity of both compounds, while enzyme inhibition assays indicated that 9 could inhibit bovine β‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase (K_i=6.5 µM) but not Serratia marcescens chitobiase nor hen egg‐white lysozyme. Moreover, 7 was shown to induce chitinase production of S. marcescens and to be readily metabolized by these bacteria.

Synthesis and Characterization of N‐methylenephenyl Phosphonic Chitosan

Chitosan is a natural based polymer obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin, exhibiting excellent properties such as non‐toxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. N‐Methylenephenyl phosphonic chitosan (NMPPC) is synthesized from chitosan by reacting with phenyl phosphonic acid using formaldehyde. The NMPPC was characterized by FTIR, ³¹P‐NMR, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimeteric analysis and solubility studies. A significant decrease of molecular weight was observed in the NMPPC. The TGA studies suggested that NMPPC has less thermal stability than chitosan. The X‐ray diffraction analysis showed that NMPPC was amorphous in nature. The solubility property of the polymer was improved after the incorporation of a phenyl phosphonic group.

Synthesis and Amphiphilic Behavior of N,N‐Bis‐glucosyl‐1,5‐benzodiazepin‐2,4‐dione

Abstract

Glucosyl‐1,5‐benzodiazepin‐2,4‐diones were synthesized in order to study the influence of the glucidic moiety on the amphiphilic behaviour. The glucosyl groups include 6‐deoxy‐D‐glucopyranos‐6‐yl and 6‐deoxy‐3‐O‐R‐D‐glucopyranos‐6‐yl (R = n ? C _n H _2n+1; n = 1, 8, 10 and 12). Variation in the length of the hydrocarbon chain allowed comparison of such amphiphilic data as water solubility (Sw) and surface tension (γ) values. At 25°C, the glucopyranosyl benzodiazepines with R = H and CH₃ show a higher water solubility than the starting 1,5‐benzodiazepin‐2,4‐diones. Some other glucidic benzodiazepine derivatives with an appropriate alkyl chain at C‐3 carbon of the D‐glucopyranose present a variable hydrosolubility and surface tension γ values close to 43 to 46 mN · m^?1 at the corresponding saturation. Moreover, according to preliminary tests, these compounds seem to show a better affinity for the blood brain barrier.
