Agglomération contrôlée de latex par formation de complexes tensioactifs anioniques : copolymères à blocs à base de poly(oxyde d’éthylène)

For polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide) (PS–PEO) diblock copolymers, as micellar dispersions in aqueous medium, the formation of complexes with anionic surfactants, such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) could be confirmed. The number of SDS molecules fixed per EO unit is close to the values reported for the SDS–PEO homopolymer interaction. Advantage of this type of complexation was taken to develop a controlled agglomeration process for SDS stabilized PS and PVC latexes by using as agglomerants ‘hairy’ latexes of PS and PVC that have been synthesized in the presence of PS–PEO block copolymers and that carry therefore a fringe of PEO sequences on their surface. The complexation of SDS by these surface-anchored PEO chains leads to the destabilization of the anionic latex, which has a tendency to precipitate onto the surface of the agglomerant latex. The average particle size and the size distribution of the agglomerated particles were studied as a function of the weight and number ratio of the two types of latexes involved in the agglomeration process, as well as in function of the surface coverage by SDS and PEO respectively. By adjusting these parameters, it was possible to obtain, with an efficiency of almost 100%, latex agglomerates with a monomodal distribution in the size range of 1 to 40 μm. An agglomeration mechanism could be outlined taking into account the complexation capacity and the specific surface of the agglomerating ‘hairy’ latex. To cite this article: P. Peter et al., C. R.

Synthèse d'hétérocycles polycondensés à partir de benzopyranno-1 as-triazinones

From benzopyranno-1-as-triazinones 1 and 2 , chloro, hydrazino and aminobenzopyranno-1-as-triazinehsa ve easily been prepared by transformation of the carbonyl function. These compounds lead to triazolo and imidazolobenzopyranno-1-as-triazines by reaction with acids or α-bromoketones. Tetrazolotriazines have been obtained by reaction of sodium nitrite with hydrazinotriazines.     

Etude par RMN 13C à 62,89 MHz des branchements éthyles dans les copolymères ethylène-butène et polyéthylène basse densité

Carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (at 62,89 MHz) were obtained for a series of branched heavy alcanes (12-ethyl tricosane, 11,20-diethyl tricontane, 11,18-diethyl octacosane, 11,17-diethyl heptacosane, 11,16-diethyl hexacosane, 9,12-diethyl heneicosane, 5,7-diethyl docosane, 6,7-diethyl docosane, 2 éthyl-hexyl-12 tricosane), which provide a model set for describing the ethyl branched sequences in ethylene butene copolymers and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). For ethylene-butene copolymers we do not detect any head-to-head polymerization of butene as reported recently (the existence of a 1,2-ethyl pair has not been confirmed by the low-field signal at 41,3 ppm), but only isolated ethyl and 1-3-diethyl branches. The three peaks observed in the methyl region (broad signal) of the spectrum are assigned to butene centered triads, as opposed to branches in positions having different tacticities as reported earlier. Carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of high-pressure polymerized low-density polyethylene have been measured at 62,89 MHz. On the basis of Willbourn's double back biting mechanism, two kinds of complex branches, the 1,3-ethyl pair and 2-ethyl-hexyl, have been assigned. Finally, these results suggest that the ethyl branches in low-density polyethylene are not isolated branches.     

Etude par RMN 13C à 62,89 MHz de ramifications longues d'alcanes lourds branchés. Modèles de PEbd et des copolymères éthylène-α oléfines

A series of 12-alkyl tricosanes (four compounds) was examined by use of ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance at 62,89 MHz as model compounds for isolated short- and long-chain (C₅, C₆, C₇, C₈) branches in low-density polyethylene and ethylene-α olefin copolymers. An array of ¹³C resonances was observed and we note that the ¹³C chemical shifts became insensitive to branch length with octyl and longer branches at this field.     

Sels d'aziridinium stables C-fonctionnalisés III: Synthèse et caractérisation d'aziridines protonées épimères à l'azote

Aziridinium ions were prepared from aziridines bearing a functionality on a ring carbon and as isolated crystalline fluorosulfate salts either by protonation in fluorosulfuric acid solution or by alkylation with methyl fluorosulfate. The structural assignement of these ions is based on nmr spectra and on quenching experiments with sodium carbonate. The configurations of the epimeric ions have been assigned by the nuclear Qverhauser effect and the stereoselectivity in protonation is disucussed.     

Synthèse de systèmes comportant deux cycles thiophéniques orthocondensés à un hétérocycle à sept chainons

The reduction of the carbonyl group of bithienyls carrying on each thiophene ring a formyl group bonded to the carbon atom next to the intercyclic bond leads to the expected primary di-alcohols. These dialcohols can give the corresponding bis-halogeno-methylated bithienyls. The dehydration of the alcohols and the action of sodium sulfide or amines upon the obtained halides leads respectively to the dihydrodithieno[c,e] oxepines, thiepines and azepines. The tetramethyl derivatives of the previous oxepines have been obtained from diacetylbithienyls.

Nouveaux polyéthers et polyesters à base d'isosorbide: synthèse et caractérisation

A new family of multifunctional polyethers was synthesized with acceptable yields by condensation of isosorbide with aliphatic and aromatic dihalides in solid-liquid heterogeneous medium (solid KOH in DMSO). Molecular weights evaluated by GPC are rather low (polydispersed oligomers with n = 2–9). On the other hand, polycondensation with aliphatic or aromatic acid dichlorides in mass or in solution allowed the elaboration of polyethers with appreciable weights (4000–8000) in good yields.     

Synthèse de nouveaux types de dérivés C-glycosyliques à partir de sucres acétyléniques ou de leurs équivalents synthétiques partiels

Synthesis of Novel Types of C-Glycosyl-derivatives from Acetylenic Sugars or Partial Synthetic Equivalents thereof The concept of synthetic equivalent is not unequivocal and, for example, α-fluoroenamines may behave in some cases as synthetic equivalents of ynamines and, in other situations, quite differently. Some uses of these α-fluoroenamines, ‘partial synthetic equivalents’ of ynamines, for the synthesis of C-glycosyl derivatives of coumarins, chromones, quinolines, quinolones, thietenes and isoxazoles are described. We also report the preparation of a series of mono- and diglycosylthiophenes by reacting HS^? with mono- and diglycosylbutadiynes. Acetylenic sugar derivatives have also been used for the synthesis of a diglycosylazaphosphorine and a spirooxolenone.     

Synthèse de sucres aminès ramifiés II. Synthèse et réactions de spiro-aziridines. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ or RMgX yields spiro-aziridines with two identical substituents on C(3′) (? H, ? CH₃, ? C₂H₅). Reactions of these products and their derivatives are briefly described. If the C(3′) substituents are protons, the aziridine ring is easily opened. In acidic media (HCl), an amino-sugar containing the branched chain ? CH₂Cl is produced; with hydrogenation, a ? CH₃ branched chain results. If the C(3′) substituents are methyl groups, the aziridine ring cannot be opened neither with HCl nor with hydrogen. The acetylated derivative of this latter compound rearranges to the corresponding allylamide with HCl. For both types of spiro-aziridine, the nitrous deamination leads to the corresponding alkene.     

Synthèse de céphalosporine-lactones

Condensation of azetidinones 2a and 2b with mercaptan 3 gave respectively compound 10 or a 1:1 mixture of 17 and 17 ′. Bromination of 10 , afforded cis and trans-bromohydrins 13a and of 17 and 17 ′ cis and trans-bromohydrins 18a . Acetylation and reduction with zinc and acetic acid of these bromohydrins gave cephems 4a or 4b and 4b ′ respectively.     

Synthèse de sucres aminés ramifiés. IV Synthèse de quelques dérivés nouveaux par l'intermédiaire d'une hexose-spiro-aziridine

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ yields a sugar-spiro-aziridine and a branched chain sulfonamide. Reaction mechanisms are briefly discussed and the configurations of the products obtained are proved by chemical reactions. With hydrogenation, the spiro compound is opened to a branched chain amino sugar with the same tertiary carbon as in vancosamine. Several derivatives of this new compound are described: the 6-deoxy sugars in series L and D and the pentose resulting from its oxidation by periodic acid. The conformation around C(4)–C(5) bond is deduced for three compounds from NMR. data.
