Synthesis of poly(vinyl chloride)‐b‐poly(n‐butyl acrylate)‐b‐poly(vinyl chloride) by the competitive single‐electron‐transfer/degenerative‐chain‐transfer‐mediated living radical polymerization in water

The synthesis of a block copolymer poly(vinyl chloride)‐b‐poly(n‐butyl acrylate)‐b‐poly(vinyl chloride) is reported. This new material was synthesized by single‐electron‐transfer/degenerative‐chain‐transfer‐mediated living radical polymerization (SET‐DTLRP) in two steps. First, a bifunctional macroinitiator of α,ω‐di(iodo)poly (butyl acrylate) [α,ω‐di(iodo)PBA] was synthesized by SET‐DTLRP in water at 25 °C. The macroinitiator was further reinitiated by SET‐DTLRP, leading to the formation of the desired product. This ABA block copolymer was synthesized with high initiator efficiency. The kinetics of the copolymerization reaction was studied for two PBA macroinitiators with number–average molecular weight of 10 k and 20 k. The relationship between the conversion and the number–average molecular weight was found to be linear. The dynamic mechanical thermal analysis suggests just one phase, indicating that copolymer behaves as a single material with no phase separation. This methodology provides the access to several block copolymers and other complex architectures that result from combinations of thermoplastics (PVC) and elastomers (PBA). From industrial standpoint, this process is attractive, because of easy experimental setup and the environmental friendly reaction medium. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Single electron transfer–degenerative chain transfer living radical polymerization of N‐butyl acrylate catalyzed by Na2S2O4 in water media

Living radical polymerization of n‐butyl acrylate was achieved by single electron transfer/degenerative‐chain transfer mediated living radical polymerization in water catalyzed by sodium dithionate. The plots of number–average molecular weight versus conversion and ln[M]₀/[M] versus time are linear, indicating a controlled polymerization. This methodology leads to the preparation of α,ω‐di(iodo) poly (butyl acrylate) (α,ω‐di(iodo)PBA) macroinitiators. The influence of polymerization degree ([monomer]/[initiator]), amount of catalyst, concentration of suspending agents and temperature were studied. The molecular weight distributions were determined using a combination of three detectors (TriSEC): right‐angle light scattering (RALLS), a differential viscometer (DV), and refractive index (RI). The methodology studied in this work represents a possible route to prepare well‐tailored macromolecules made of butyl acrylate in an environmental friendly reaction medium. Moreover, such materials can be subsequently functionalized leading to the formation of different block copolymers of composition ABA. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient Synthesis of Nitroflavones by Cyclodehydrogenation of 2′-Hydroxychalcones and by the Baker-Venkataraman Method

Summary. Several nitroflavone derivatives were synthesized by cyclodehydrogenation of 2′-hydroxychalcones and by the Baker-Venkataraman approach, starting from 2′-hydroxyacetophenones and benzoic acid derivatives. Nitroflavones synthesised by the first synthetic approach were obtained in better global yields than those obtained by the later method. The structures of all new compounds were elucidated by microanalyses, 1D and 2D NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopic measurements.

Bis(amino acid) derivatives of 1,4-diamino-2-butyne that adopt a C2-symmetric turn conformation

1,4-Diamino-2-butyne was prepared from 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne via 1,4-diazido-2-butyne. Bis(amino acid) derivatives of 1,4-diamino-2-butyne having the general structure (Boc-Xxx-NHCH2C[triple bond])2 (Xxx = Ala, Phe and Met) were prepared and examined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Using chemical shift, coupling constant and DMSO titration data it is found that these compounds adopt a C2-symmetric turn conformation featuring two intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

含锑配合物是治疗血吸虫病、肿瘤等的常用药物,我们曾对双邻苯二酚锑二乙基羟乙胺进行了晶体结构测定,本文简要报导双邻苯二酚锑二甲基羟乙胺的结构.锑化合物的制法与其二乙基羟乙铵衍生物类似.产物为淡黄色晶体,它在水溶液中长时间放置会变成紫黑色,因此,制得的晶体须立即用丙酮溶解进行重结晶.晶体的密度为1.667g/cm~3.按C_(16)H_(20)O_5NSb的元素分析结果(％)如下:Sb 28.3(28.5),C 43.9(44.9),N 3.3(3.3),H 4.7(4.7).括号内为理论值.

甲烷在二元碱土金属复合体系催化剂上的氧化偶联

碱土金属氧化物或碳酸盐为多种类型甲烷氧化偶联制取C_2烃催化剂的重要组分之一.有关纯碱土金属氧化物及含氧酸盐的研究表明,这类化合物具有较强的表面碱性及高温P型半导性而对活化甲烷生成C_2烃有较高活性,关于不同碱土金属化合物之间混合形成的二元碱土金属复合体系催化剂的报导仍不多见,Aika等人曾报导用BaO与CaO或MgO混合的催化剂上在1073K时可以获得61.1%C_2烃选择性和14.2%的C_2烃收率,但BaO易在反应条件下与水反应生成Ba(OH)_2而腐蚀器壁,不利于长期操作.本文报导了一系列不同碱土金属化合物之间形成的二元碱土复合体系催化剂上甲烷氧化偶联的反应结果.结果表明,这类催化剂由于其结构稳定、活性好而值得进一步研究.
