Photopolymerization of Cyclohexene Oxide Initiated with Iron-arene Complex

Two iron-arene complex photoinitiators with different substituents in arene ligands were synthesized, their activities in initiating photopolymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) were compared with that of IRGACURE 261, a commercialized photoinitiator from Ciba-Geigy. A higher activity was found when the arene ligand was substituted with a stronger electron donating group. For the system initiated by IRGACURE 261 the concentration of active centers in CHO polymerization was determined and it was found that the concentration is maximum at around 35℃. The post (dark) polymerization was significant, the polymerization yield decreased with the increase of irradiation temperature and increased with the increase of post polymerization temperature. The results are interpreted based on the mechanism proposed by Lohse, et al..     

Photopolymerization Initiated by Charge-Transfer Complex. VII. Photopolymerization of Methyl Methacrylate with the Use of α-Picoline Chlorine Charge=Transfer Complex

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate in visible light was studied at 30°C using the α-picoline-chlorine charge-transfer complex as the photoinitiator. Analysis of kinetic and other data indicate that polymerization proceeds via a radical mechanism and that termination is initiator dependent. Chain termination via degradative chain (initiator) transfer appears to be significant.     

Controlled Radical Photopolymerization of n-Butyl Methacrylate in Bluk Mediated by HTEMPO

Recently, controlled free-radical polymerization (CRP) has been a technique for the preparation of polymers of tailored architectures using experimentally simple techniques1. The CRP methods were nitroxide-mediated free radical polymerization (NMP), atom …     

Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of the tri-n-butyl boron—p-quinone system

The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of tri-n-butyl boron and a number of p-quinones is studied in a wide concentration range. It is shown that the rate of polymerization and the molecular-mass characteristics of the polymers depend on the structure and concentration of p-quinone. PMMA isolated at various conversions initiates the secondary polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The activity of the macroinitator depends on the structure of p-quinone.     

Photopolymerization induced by a benzophenone derivative photoinitiator

A benzophenone derivative photoinitiator, HBP-TDI-HQ-TDI-HBP （HTCTH）, was synthesized based on 4-hydroxy benzophenone （HBP）, toluene-2,4-diisocyanate （TDI） and hydroquinone （HQ）. HTCTH was a more effective photoinitiator which had longer wavelength absorption in the UV-vis absorption spectra than the low molecular counterpart benzophenone （BP）. It showed that both rate of polymerization （Rp） and final conversion （P） increased with increase of amine and HTCTH concentration in photopolymerization.     

Stereochemistry in alkylations of dianions of β-hydroxysulfoxides and β-hydroxysulfones

Alkylations of dianions of β-hydroxysulfoxides and β-hydroxysulfones have been found to be affected by chelation of a Li cation with a sulfinyl group and by coordination of the cation with tetrahydrofuran rather than a sulfonyl group, respectively.     

Regioselective synthesis of β-iodo-enamides and β-yn-enamides

Iodo-enamides were synthesised in a single step, in good yield and with complete selectivity from N-formyl imides. The β-iodo-enamides are stable and were converted efficiently into novel geometrically defined β-yn-enamides.     

The Photopolymerization Kinetics of Acryl amide Sensitized with Toluidine Blue-Alcoholamine Induced by He-Ne Laser

Toluidine blue(TB) is a good sensitizer for the polymerization of acrylnmide(AM) induced by He-Ne laser. With TB as a sensitizer and various alcoholamine as donors, the photoredox of TB and the polymerization kinetics of AM induced by He-Ne laser were investigated. It was found that either for the photoredox of TB or for the polymerization of AM, the activity of alcoholamine increases in the order of EOA相似文献   

Influence of β-substituents in aldol reactions of boron enolates of β-alkoxy methylketones

Moderate to good levels of substrate-based 1,5-syn-stereocontrol could be achieved in the boron-mediated aldol reactions of β-tert-butyl methylketones with achiral aldehydes, independent of the nature of the β-alkoxy protecting group (P = PMB or TBS). The analysis of the relative energies of the transition structures by theoretical calculations using the density functional B3LYP shows relative energies favoring the corresponding OUT-1,5-SYN transition structures, explaining the observed 1,5-syn stereoinduction.     

Photopolymerization kinetics of a thiol–enol composition determined via recording/playback of a transmission holographic diffraction grating

The kinetics of thiol–enol photopolymerization of a hybrid composition based on a tetraacrylate monomer and a thiol-siloxane oligomer was studied with the use of a holographic recording of elementary transmission phase gratings. The degrees of conversion of double bonds in the tetraacrylate monomer after the polymerization in air and in an inert atmosphere of SF₆ were measured via IR spectroscopy. It is shown that the use of the thiol-siloxane oligomer efficiently suppresses oxygen inhibition of the photopolymerization. When the photoinitiator concentration is increased to more than 10^–2 mol/L, the photopolymerization rate levels off. An increase in the thiol-siloxane oligomer concentration leads to an extremal dependence of the photopolymerization rate on the oligomer concentration; the maximum rate is reached at an oligomer concentration of about 0.07 mol/L. The kinetic scheme of photopolymerization in the hybrid photopolymer composition was analyzed, and an analytical expression for the photopolymerization rate was obtained. The correlation between the kinetic constants of the thiol–enol photopolymerization was evaluated on the basis of the obtained parameters of the kinetic model.     

Structure determination of glycopeptide of β-momorcharin

The structure of the N-linked oligosaccharide chain of β-momorcharin, a ribosome-inactivating protein from the seeds of Momordica charantia Linn (Cucurbitaceae), was determined. A glycopeptide liberated by pronase digestion of the glycoprotein was subjected to amino acid and neutral carbohydrate analysis to establish the composition of amino acid and sugar residues. The sequences and glycosylation hnkages of the sugar and amino acid residues in the glycopeptide were determined as Manαl-6(XyIβ1-2)-Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4(Fucαl-3)-GlcNAc-Asn-Leu by 2D-NMR spectroscopy and FAB-MS data.     

Preparation of β-fluoro- and β,β-difluoro-histidinols

Nucleophilic attack of azide on 2-bromo-3-fluoro-3-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-propan-1-ol (1a) in aprotic solvent occurs on the 2-position to give the 2-azido derivative (2a). Reduction of azide and removal of the trityl group produces β-fluorohistidinol (6a). Elimination of HBr from 1a followed by “FBr” addition to the resulting double bond gives 2-bromo-3,3-difluoro-3-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-propan-1-ol (1b). Nucleophilic attack of azide followed by reduction and removal of the trityl group, as for the preparation of 6a, gives β,β-difluorohistidinol (6b). Initial attempts, under a variety of conditions, to oxidize the fluorinated histidinol precursors to carboxylic acids have not been successful.

Selective synthesis of β-alkylpyrroles

β-Alkylpyrroles are key structural motifs found in many natural products and biologically active compounds as well as functional organic materials. For this reason, synthetic chemists continue to be interested in construction of the framework of β-alkylpyrroles. Due to sufficient aromaticity and π-excessive nature of pyrroles, a straightforward approach to β-alkylpyrroles should be electrophilic aromatic substitution (S(E)Ar) toward the pyrrole ring. However, since a primary nucleophilic site of pyrroles is an α-position, some "trick" is required to direct incoming alkyl electrophiles toward a β-position. This Concept article focuses on presenting previous efforts that have been devoted to the synthesis of β-alkylpyrroles, mainly through the S(E)Ar route.
