ABSTRACTA well-defined amphiphilic block copolymer, poly (ethylene oxide)-b-(poly (furfuryl methacrylate) (PEO-b-PFMA) was prepared by single electron transfer living radical polymerization using tris(dimethylamino)ethyl amine (Me6TREN) as a ligand. The block copolymer formed sub-100 nm micelles in water with PEO as a shell and PFMA as a core. Diels–Alder click type reaction was employed to form core-crosslinked micelles using a diselenide-containing crosslinker without any catalyst. The block copolymer and micelles were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The stability of core-crosslinked micelles under reductive-oxidative condition was also investigated. The diselenide crosslinked micelles displayed good stability against extensive dilution but decomposed under the presence of hydrogen peroxide or glutathione. The redox responsive core-crosslinked micelles can be a promising carrier for drug delivery applications. 相似文献
We report the synthesis of several new α-trifluoromethylated nitrogen heterocycles, among which azanorbornene and azetidine derivatives, by aza Diels–Alder or iodine-mediated cyclizations. These building blocks were used as starting materials for the formation of fluorinated polymers by ROMP or for ligand design through substitution and click reactions. 相似文献
The preparation of a novel fullerene‐thiophene derivative by Diels‐Alder addition of terthiophene S,S‐dioxide was demonstrated. Extrusion of SO2 from the adduct is an effective process that yields a stable cyclohexadiene‐1,4‐bisthiophene–C60 adduct in good isolable yield. The product has been accurately characterized and opens the way to synthesize new C60 derivatives “via” Diels‐Alder methodology without the possibility of cycloreversion. Electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of this macromolecule were studied and supported by theoretical calculations to interpret its electronic structure. The first approach to the electropolymerization of this macromonomer produces donor‐acceptor molecular wires providing a new and versatile way to fullerene‐based double cable polymers.
