Functional group-selective ion-molecule reactions of ethylene glycol and its monomethyl and dimethyl ethers

The selective methylation and methylene substitution reactions of dimethyl ether ions with ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether were investigated in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. Whereas the reactions of ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether with the methoxymethylene cation 45⁺ gave only [M + 13]⁺ product ions, the reaction of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether with the same reagent ion yielded exclusively [M + 15]⁺ ions. The relative rates of formation of these products and those from competing reactions were examined and rationalized on the basis of structural and electronic considerations. The heats of formation for various relevant species were estimated by computational methods and showed that the reactions leading to the [M + 13]⁺ ions were more energetically favorable than those leading to the [M + 15]⁺ products for cases in which both reactions are possible. Finally, the collision-induced dissociation behavior of the [M + H]⁺, [M + 13]⁺, and [M + 15]⁺ ions indicated that the and [M + H]⁺ rons dissociated by analogous pathways and were thus structurally similar, whereas the [M + 13]⁺ ions possessed distinctly different structural characteristics.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V ^E have been measured for binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monomethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol as a function of composition using a continuous–dilution dilatometer at 25°C at atmosphere pressure. V ^E are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monomethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol, and positive for the remaining systems, containing 1-pentanol and + 1-hexanol. V ^E increases in a positive direction with increasing carbon chain length of the n-alcohol. The excess partial molar volumes V _i ^E of the components were evaluated from the V ^E results. The behavior of V ^E and V _i ^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Partial Molar Volumes of Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether + n-Alkanol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V^E for binary liquid mixtures containing dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-heptanol have been measured using a continuous dilution dilatometer over the whole mole fraction range at 25°C at atmospheric pressure. V^E are negative over the whole composition range except for the systems containing 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, or 1-heptanol which are positve at every composition. V^E increases in a positive direction with increase in chain length of the n-alcohol. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V_i^E of the components. The change of V^E and V_i^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule are discussed as a basis to understand some of the molecular interactions present in the mixtures:     

Temperature dependence of the volumetric properties of some alkoxypropanols + n-alkanol mixtures

The excess molar volumes V_m^E for binary liquid mixtures containing dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether or dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether and methanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol and 1-heptanol have been measured as a function of composition using a continuous dilution dilatometer at T=(288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K and atmospheric pressure over the whole concentration range. The excess volume results allowed the following mixing quantities to be reported in all range of concentrations or at equimolar concentrations: α, volume expansivity; (∂V_m^E/∂T)_p; (∂H^E/∂P)_T at T=298.15 K. The obtained results have been compared at T=298.15 K with the calculated values by using the Flory theory of liquid mixtures. The theory predicts the α, and α^E values rather well, while the calculated values of (∂V_m^E/∂T)_p and (∂H^E/∂P)_T show general variation with the alkyl chain length of the alkoxypropanols. The results are discussed in terms of order or disorder creation.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Viscosities for Binary Mixtures of 1-Alkoxypropan-2-ols with 1-Butanol, and 2-Butanol at 298.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

Excess molar volumes Vm^E and kinematic viscosities v have been measured as a function of composition for binary mixtures of propylene glycol monomethyl ether （1-methoxy-2-propanol）, MeOCH2CH（OH）Me, propylene glycol monoethyl ether （1-ethoxy-2-propanol）, EtOCH2CH（OH）Me, propylene glycol monopropyl ether （1-propoxy-2-propanol）, PrOCH2CH（OH）Me, propylene glycol monobutyl ether （1-butoxy-2-propanol）, BuOCH2CH（OH）Me, and propylene glycol tert-butyl ether （1-tert-butoxy-2-propanol）, t-BuOCH2CH（OH）Me with 1-butanol, and 2-butanol, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volumes are negative across the entire range of composition for all the systems with 1-butanol, and positive for the systems 2-butanol＋ 1-methoxy-2-propanol, and ＋1-propoxy-2-propanol, negative for the systems 2-butanol＋1-butoxy-2-propanol, and change sign for the systems 2-butanol＋ 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, and ＋ 1-tert-butoxy-2-propanol. From the experimental data, the deviation in dynamic viscosity η from ∑χiηi has been calculated. Both excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations have been correlated using a Redlich-Kister type polynomial equation by the method of least-squares for the estimation of the binary coefficients and the standard errors.

Changes of relaxation dynamics of a hydrogen-bonded glass former after removal of the hydrogen bonds

Dielectric relaxation spectra of two closely related glass formers, dipropylene glycol [H-(C3H6O)2-OH] and dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether [CH3-O-(C3H6O)2-CH3], were measured at ambient and elevated pressures in the supercooled and the glassy states are presented. Hydrogen bonds formed in dipropylene glycol are removed when its ends are replaced by two methyl groups to become dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether. In the process, the primary relaxation, the excess wing, and the resolved secondary relaxation of dipropylene glycol are all modified when the structure is transformed to become dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether. The modifications include the pressure and temperature dependences of these relaxation processes and their interrelations. Thus, by comparing the dielectric spectra of these two closely related glass formers at ambient and elevated pressures, the differences in the relaxation dynamics and properties in the presence and absence of hydrogen bonding are identified.     

Volumetric and viscometric study of aqueous binary mixtures of some glycol ethers at T = (275.15 and 283.15) K

The experimental data for the density (ρ) and viscosity (η) are reported for aqueous binary mixtures of different glycol ethers, namely ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGMME), ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGMEE), diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME), and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGMEE), at different temperatures (T = 275.15 K and 283.15 K) within the concentration range 0 mol · kg⁻¹ to 0.1 mol · kg⁻¹. The values of density (ρ) and viscosity (η) of the solutions were used to compute different derived parameters, such as apparent molar volume (?_V) of the solute, excess molar volume (V^E) of the solution, viscosity B and D coefficients of solution and temperature coefficient of viscosity B-coefficient (dB/dT) of solution. The limiting apparent molar volume of the solutes () have been obtained for aqueous binary mixtures of these glycol ethers by smooth extrapolation of ?_V–m curves to zero concentration. By using the values of , the limiting excess partial molar volumes () have also been calculated. The results are interpreted in term of various interactions such as solute–solvent interactions and hydrogen bonding.     

Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometric Determination of Traces of Ether-Type Icing Inhibitors in Free-Floating Fuels

A gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric (GC–MS) assay method has been developed for simultaneous determination of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME) in spilled aviation fuels. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE) and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) were used as internal standard and surrogate, respectively. Sample preparation consisted of back-extraction with 7 mL dichloromethane after extraction of 50 mL of fuel with 2 mL of water. The extract was concentrated to dryness, dissolved in 100 L methanol, and analyzed by GC–MS with selected-ion monitoring (SIM). The peaks had good chromatographic properties on a semi-polar column. EGME and DEGME were extracted from fuel with high recovery of 75 and 85%, with small variations, respectively. Method detection limits were 1.3 and 1.0 ng mL^–1 for EGME and DEGME, respectively, in spilled fuel. DEGME was detected at concentrations of 22.6 and 19.7 ng mL^–1 in two samples from among five free-floating samples collected in a tunnel of a subway station located in the vicinity of an army base in Korea. The method might be useful for differentiation between the fuel-types kerosene and JP-8, which might originate from a storage tank.     

The investigation of structural and thermosensitive properties of new phosphazene derivatives bearing glycol and amino acid

In this study, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, N(3)P(3)Cl(6) (cylotriphosphazene), was reacted with hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to synthesize amphiphilic phosphazene derivatives (4-12). Cylotriphosphazene was reacted triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (TEGME), dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME), diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DEGBE), (1 : 3 mole proportion) in the presence of sodium hydride and using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent at -60 °C. Three isomers (nongeminal cis-2,4,6 (1a-3a); nongeminal trans-2,4,6 (1b-3b); geminal 2,2,4 (1c-3c)) were isolated from the reaction of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene (trimer) (1) with TEGME, DPGME and DEGBE. The substitution reactions of cis-tris isomers (1a-3a) with 4-amino butyric acid, 5-amino valeric acid and 6-amino hexanoic acid were separately done to provide amphiphilic phosphazenes (4-12). All compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis, (31)P NMR and mass spectroscopy. Thermosensitive properties of compounds were studied. The compounds (4-12) were soluble in both water and organic media that shows they are amphiphilic molecules. Concentration-dependent LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature) behaviours of new compounds (4-12) were measured in water. Compounds 7, 9, 11 and 12 exhibited a reversible and thermosensitive phase transition in aqueous medium, from soluble to insoluble states.     

Application of Dipotassium Glycoxides–Activated 18-Crown-6 for the Synthesis of Poly(propylene oxide) with Increased Molar Mass

Mono- and dipotassium salts of dipropylene glycol were applied for the polymerization of propylene oxide in mild conditions, i.e., tetrahydrofuran solution at ambient temperature. The structure of polymers was investigated by use of ¹³C NMR and MALDI-TOF techniques. The structure depends strongly on the kind of initiator and additives that are used such as coronand 18-crown-6 and dipropylene glycol. The lowest unsaturation, represented by allyloxy starting groups, has the polymer obtained by use of monopotassium salt without the ligand. The highest unsaturation degree is for the polymer synthesized in the presence of dipotassium salt–activated 18-crown-6. This polymer, obtained at high initial monomer concentration and low initial concentration of initiator, consists of two fractions, i.e., a low molar mass fraction (M_n = 9400) containing mainly macromolecules with alkoxide starting and end groups and a much higher molar mass fraction (M_n = 29500 g/mol) containing macromolecules with allyloxy starting groups and alkoxide or hydroxyl end groups. Addition of free glycol to this system decreases the molar mass of polymers. Similar results were obtained by use of dipotassium salts of other glycols. The mechanisms of the studied processes are discussed.     

Thermodynamic and optical studies of some ethylene glycol ethers in aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

Experimental results of density (ρ), speed of sound (u), and refractive index (n_D) have been obtained for aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGMME), ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGMEE), diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME), and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGMEE) over the entire concentration range at T = 298.15 K. From these measurements, the derived parameters, apparent molar volume of solute (?_V), excess molar volume (V^E), isentropic compressibility of solution (β_S), apparent molar isentropic compressibility of solute (?_KS), deviation in isentropic compressibility (Δβ_S), molar refraction [R]_1,2 and deviation in refractive index of solution (Δn_D) have been calculated. The Redlich–Kister equation has been fitted to the calculated values of V^E, Δβ_S and Δn_D for the solution. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of hydrogen bonding and various interactions among solute and solvent molecules.     

Self-Immolative Amphiphilic Poly(ferrocenes) for Synergistic Amplification of Oxidative Stress in Tumor Therapy

Amphiphilic self-immolative polymers (SIPs) can achieve complete degradation solely through one triggerable event, which potentially optimize the blood clearance and uncontrollable/inert degradability for therapeutic nanoparticles. Herein, we report self-immolative amphiphilic poly(ferrocenes), BP ^nbs -Fc , composed by self-immolative backbone and aminoferrocene (AFc) side chains as well as end-capping poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether. Upon triggering by tumor acidic milieu, the BP ^nbs -Fc nanoparticles readily degrade to release azaquinone methide (AQM) moieties, which can rapidly deplete intracellular glutathione (GSH) to cascade release AFc. Furthermore, both AFc and its product Fe²⁺ can catalyze intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH), thus amplifying the oxidative stress of tumor cells. Rational synergy of GSH depletion and ⋅OH burst can efficiently inhibit tumor growth by the SIPs in vitro and in vivo. This work provides an elegant design to adopt innate tumor milieu-triggerable SIPs degradation to boost cellular oxidative stress, which is a promising candidate for precision medicine.

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

We have measured excess molar volumes V^E _m of binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol over the full range of compositions at 25°C. The measurements were carried out with a continuous-dilution dilatometer. The excess molar volumes V^E _m are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol and positive for the remaining systems, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + 1-pentanol, and + 1-hexanol. The excess V^E _m increases in the positive direction with increasing chain length of the n-alcohol. The measured excess volumes have been compared to our previous published data with an effort to assess the effects of replacing methyl by ethyl groups and of inserting oxyethylene groups. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V^E _m,i of the components. The behavior of V^E _m and V^E _m,i with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Polylactones 27. Anionic polymerization of L-lactide. Variation of endgroups and synthesis of block copolymers with poly(ethylene oxide)

L-Lactide was polymerized in toluene with various alkoxide initiators. These initiators were prepared in situ from potassium t.-butoxide and primary or secondary alcohols such as tetradecanol, diethylene glycol butyl ether, menthol or testosteron. All these alcohols were incorporated as ester endgroups into the polylactide chain. However ¹H-NMR spectroscopy proves the existence of more OH-endgroup than ester endgroups. This finding and 10–20% racemization observed for all anionic polymerizations suggest that chain-transfer reactions with the monomer via deprotonation take place. When poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether in combination with KOtBu was used as initiator, twoblock copolymers were obtained. With poly(ethylene glycol) A-B-A-triblock copolymers could be synthesized. The quantitative reaction of the poly(ethylene glycol)s with L-lactide could be proven by both ¹H NMR spectroscopy and gelpermeation chromatography. DSC-measurements show that depending on their lengths either the polylactide or the poly(ethylene oxide)blocks can crystallize. Due to partial racemization the melting temperatures (T_m) of the poly(L-lactide) blocks did not exceed 155°C.     

Ion–molecule reactions and dissociation of glycols in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer: Evidence of intramolecular interactions

Polyethylene glycols react with CH₃OCH₂⁺ ions from dimethyl ether to form [M + 13]⁺ products. The [M + 13]⁺ ions are stabilized by intramolecular interactions involving the internal ether oxygen atoms and the terminal methylene group. Collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), including MSⁿ and deuterium labeling experiments show that fragmentation reactions involving intramolecular cyclization are predominant. Scrambling of hydrogen and deuterium atoms in the ion-molecule reaction products is not indicated. The CAD spectra of the [M + 13]⁺ ions provide unambiguous assignment of the glycol size.     

CTAB-P123辅助制备有序介孔KF/Al-Ce-SBA-15固体碱及其催化性能

为了缩短有序介孔氧化硅(SBA-15)基固体碱催化剂的工艺流程,制备长程有序介孔固体碱,本文以十六烷基三甲基溴化胺(CTAB)-三嵌段表面活性剂P123为模板剂,以KF为改性剂,两步法合成有序介孔KF/Al-Ce-SBA-15(KF/ACS)固体碱催化剂,采用小角X射线衍射(小角XRD)、N₂吸附-脱附曲线、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、CO₂程序升温脱附(CO₂-TPD)等手段,对催化剂的结构与性能进行表征,并研究了其在合成丙二醇甲醚(PM)中的催化性能。 当n(Al)/n(Ce)=0.12,KF的质量分数为10%时,KF/ACS催化剂不仅能够保持长程有序介孔结构,并且显示出强碱性能。 在催化甲醇与环氧丙烷(PO)合成PM的反应中,PM的收率达到92.0%,1-甲氧基-2-丙醇(PPM)选择性达到96.1%以上,并能有效抑制二丙二醇甲醚等副产物。
