1,3‐Dipolar cycloadditions: Investigation of cycloadditions of c‐aryl‐n‐(4‐chlorophenyl) nitrones to n‐cinnamoyl piperidines

Investigation of cycloadditions of C‐aryl‐N‐(4‐chlorophenyl)nitrones to N‐cinnamoyl piperidines was carried out. Two diastereoisomeric and one regioisomeric cycloadducts, and in some cases ring‐opened compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and X‐ray data. Molecular modelling was carried out for conformational studies.

Synthesis of Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)‐block‐Poly(pentafluorostyrene) by RAFT: Precursor to Novel Amphiphilic Poly(glyceryl methacrylate)‐block‐Poly(pentafluorostyrene)

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) was synthesized by the RAFT method in the presence of 2‐cyanoprop‐2‐yl dithiobenzoate (CPDB) chain transfer agent using different [GMA]/[CPDB] molar ratios. The living radical polymerization resulted in controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersity indices (PDI) of ≈1.1. The polymerization of pentafluorostyrene (PFS) with PGMA as the macro‐RAFT agent yielded narrow PDIs of ≤1.2 at 60 °C and ≤1.5 at 80 °C. The epoxy groups of the PGMA block were hydrolyzed to obtain novel amphiphilic copolymer, poly(glyceryl methacrylate)‐block‐poly(pentafluorostyrene) [PGMA(OH)‐b‐PPFS]. The PGMA epoxy group hydrolysis was confirmed by ¹H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. DSC investigation revealed that the PGMA‐b‐PPFS polymer was amorphous while the PGMA(OH)‐b‐PPFS displayed a high degree of crystallinity.

     

Delamination of Organically Modified Layered Filler via Solid‐State Processing

Summary: Solid‐state processing for the preparation of poly(p‐phenylenesulfide) (PPS‐) based nano‐composites having finely dispersed layered fillers was conducted. The mixture of PPS and organically modified layered filler (OMLF) (95/5 wt./wt.) was subjected to the processing using thermostated hot‐press at 150 °C, below T_m of PPS (i.e., PPS is still at the solid‐state), and applying pressures of 33 MPa for 30 s. The mixture exhibited disorder and delaminated layer structure with the thickness of 10–20 nm into the PPS matrix. In contrast, a nano‐composite prepared by melt compounding at 300 °C for 3 min showed large stacked silicate layers in the PPS matrix. The processing led to delamination of the silicate layers and attained the discrete dispersion.

Polyaniline “Nanotube” Self‐Assembly: The Stage of Granular Agglomeration on Nanorod Templates

The identification and control of a critical stage of polyaniline “nanotube” self‐assembly is presented, namely the granular agglomeration or growth onto nanorod templates. When the synthesis pH is held above 2.5, smooth insulating nanorods exhibiting hydrogen bonding and containing phenazine structures are produced, while below pH 2.5, small 15–30 nm granular polyaniline nanoparticles appear to agglomerate onto the available nanorod surface, apparently improving conductivity of the resulting structures by three orders of magnitude. This finding affects both fundamental theories of polyaniline nanostructure self‐assembly and their practical applications.

     

L'isomérie géométrique d'amidines mono-substituées de l'acide benzothiazole-carboxylique-2. Isomères anti à carboxyle normal,isoméres syn à carboxyle énolisé

The condensation of methyl benzothiazole-2-iminicarboxylate with α-amino-acetic esters gives rise to amidines possessing only one (I) of the two possible tautomeric structures. Both syn and anti isomers have been characterized of the single tautomer. This is the first demonstration of geometrical isomerism around the imine group in amidines. The carboxylic esters and the free acids of the syn fro exist exclusively as the enol, whereas the anti derivatives prefer the carboxyl structure. The existence of these isomers has been confirmed by their IR., UV., and NMR. spectra as well as by the inversion of their configuration and the formation of cyclic derivatives.     

High Solids Content,Soap‐Free,Film‐Forming Latexes Stabilized by Laponite Clay Platelets

High solids content film‐forming poly[styrene‐co‐(n‐butyl acrylate)] [poly(Sty‐co‐BuA)] latexes armored with Laponite clay platelets have been synthesized by soap‐free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and n‐butyl acrylate. The polymerizations were performed in batch in the presence of Laponite and a methyl ether acrylate‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) macromonomer in order to promote polymer/clay association. The overall polymerization kinetics showed a pronounced effect of clay on nucleation and stabilization of the latex particles. Cryo‐transmission electron microscopy observation confirmed the armored morphology and indicated that the majority of Laponite platelets were located at the particle surface. The resulting nanostructured films displayed enhanced mechanical properties.

     

Surface‐Functionalized,Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization‐Derived Monoliths for Anion‐Exchange Chromatography

Ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) was used for the synthesis of monolithic capillary columns with inner diameters of 200 µm. The resulting polymeric monoliths were characterized by inverse size‐exclusion chromatography (ISEC). Surface functionalization was carried out in situ using 2‐(N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl)norborn‐5‐ene‐2‐ylcarboxylic amide ( 1 ). The resulting functionalized monoliths were successfully used in anion‐exchange chromatography of oligodeoxynucleotides.

Ring‐Opening Polymerization of ε‐Caprolactone by Poly(ethylene glycol) by an Activated Monomer Mechanism

Summary: The polymerization of ε‐caprolactone (CL) in the presence of HCl · Et₂O by an activated monomer mechanism was performed to synthesize diblock or triblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL). The obtained PCLs had molecular weights close to the theoretical values calculated from the CL to PEG molar ratios and exibited monomodal GPC curves. We successfully prepared PEG and PCL block copolymers by a metal‐free method.

Ready access to 7,8‐dihydro‐ and 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐5(6H)‐ones from simple pyridine precursors

Short pathways are described for the synthesis of a representative example of each of the 7,8‐dihydro‐and 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐5(6H)‐one ring systems from simple pyridine precursors. An attempted synthesis of the related 4,6‐dihydro‐1,6‐naphthyridin‐5(1H)‐one ring system from a common intermediate was unsuccessful.     

Über 1, 5-Diphenyl-2, 3, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1H, 5H-pyrazolo[1, 2-a]pyrazole(2, 6-Diphenyl-1, 5-diazabicyclo[3, 3, 0]octane)

The synthesis of a 1, 5-diphenyl perhydro-pyrazolo-[1, 2-a] pyrazole (IV) (m. p. = 170–171°) by LiAlH₄-reduction of its 3, 7-dioxo derivative Va, one of the stereoisomers of V, is described. Va was obtained in small yield by the reaction of cinnamic acid with its hydrazide or with hydrazine. It proved to be identical with the compound obtained previously by interaction of cinnamic acid hydrazide with iodine which in the literature erroneously had been described as N, N′-dicinnamoyl hydrazine. This hydrazine now was obtained by bis-acylation of hydrazine with cinnamoyl chloride. In Va the extremely low NMR. absorption of the tertiary protons at ρ = 4,6 ppm is probably due to the spatial grouping with the proton situated in the deshielding region of the carbonyl group. Previously, another tertiary proton with a very low NMR. absorption at ρ = 4,85 ppm has been observed in the «bisimide M», the main criss-cross addition product of one mole benzaldazine and two moles of N-(n-butyl)-maleinimide. A stereostructure for bisimide M is now proposed, which is a hybrid between those of the bisimides L and H.

Ternäre Komplexe in Lösung IV. Einfluss von 2,2′-Bipyridyl auf Stabilität und Acidität des Cu2+-Adenosin-5′-monophosphat-N(1)-oxid-1:1-Komplexes

The ternary Cu²⁺?2,2′-bipyridyl-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex was investigated and compared with the binary Cu²⁺-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex (I) (cf. [2]). In both complexes Cu²⁺ is bound to the o-amino-N-oxide group of adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide (HL). The stabilities of the complexes monoprotonated at the phosphate group are of the same order: log K = 11,20, and log K = 11,19. The acidity constants for the deprolonation of the phosphate group in these complexes are slightly different (pK = 5,55, and pK = 5,88), but as expected both values are lower than the corresponding value pK = 6,12 of the ligand.
