Xantphos-ligated palladium dithiolates: An unprecedented and convenient catalyst for the carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with high turnover number and turnover frequency

Xantphos- and dithiolate-ligated macrocyclic palladium complexes as an efficient and stable catalyst for the carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction have been synthesized. The catalysts were characterized by ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), CHNS (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur) analysis, melting point analysis, and ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. Several sensitive functional groups (e.g., –NO₂, –F, –Cl, –Br, –NH₂, and –CN) on the aromatic ring were well tolerated in the carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction. The present palladium complexes produce six times higher turnover number (TON) and five times higher turnover frequency (TOF) compared with conventional homogeneous palladium precursors. Maximum TONs in the range of 10⁵ to 10⁶ and TOF in the range of 10⁴ to 10⁵ could be generated by a very low amount of catalyst loading (10^–5 mol%).     

Design of ketone derivatives as highly efficient photoinitiators for free radical and cationic photopolymerizations and application in 3D printing of composites

Herein, thirteen ketone derivatives composed of different cyclohexanone cores and peripheral moieties are designed, among which 10 ketones have never been synthesized before. These ketones are proposed as high-performance photoinitiators for both free radical polymerizations and cationic polymerizations under soft conditions (visible LED@405 nm irradiation at room temperature). In combination with an amine and an iodonium salt (Iod), these ketones could be used in three−component photoinitiating systems to initiate the free radical polymerization of acrylates with distinct final conversions, among which the ketone−1/amine/Iod combination proved to be the most efficient one. Besides, the ketone−1/Iod two−component system also showed a remarkable photoinitiation ability for the cationic polymerization of epoxides. The photochemical sensitivity of ketone−1 in the presence of an amine and an iodonium salt was systematically investigated by steady state photolysis and excited state fluorescence quenching characterizations, respectively. Interestingly, macroscopic 3D patterns with excellent spatial resolution could be generated using the ketone−1/amine/Iod photoinitiating system for the free radical polymerization of acrylates. This high performance is also found useful to overcome the light penetration issue for the access to filled samples (silica) and the preparation of composites.     

TBHP/AIBN-Mediated Synthesis of 2-Amino-thioazoles from Active Methylene Ketones and Thiourea under Metal-free Conditions

A new oxidative system of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)/azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) has been used for the first time for a convenient, metal-free synthesis of substituted 2-aminothioazoles from active methylene ketone derivatives and thiourea. The reaction is postulated to proceed via an oxidative cyclization initiated by a radical process and followed by a condensation reaction.

Preparation,characterization, and mechanical properties of microcellular poly(aryl ether ketone) foams

High‐performance microcellular closed‐cell foams were prepared by a two‐stage batch foaming process from fluorinated poly(ether ether ketone) and characterized by scanning electronic microscopy, tensile, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The effects of saturation pressure and temperature on the cell size, cell density, and bulk density of porous materials had been discussed. The resulting materials had average cell diameters in the range 3–17 μm, and cell densities (N_f) in the order of 0.6 × 10⁹–1.39 × 10¹⁰ cells/cm³. The porosity (V_f) was in the range of 0.2–0.85. In contrast, experimental values of Young's moduli were in good agreement with theoretically predicted values, but the relative strengths were somewhat lower than that predicted. The relaxation mechanism of microcellular was systematically investigated by DMA. The dynamic mechanical spectrometry showed that the storage modulus curve at high temperature region appeared a peak and the loss modulus was lower as compared to their solid counterparts. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microcellular processing and relaxation of poly(ether ether ketone)

The semicrystalline microcellular closed‐cell foams are prepared by a two‐stage batch foaming process from poly(ether ether ketone) and characterized by scanning electronic microscopy. It can be observed that there are two kinds of cells with obviously different cellular sizes in the same transect and the distribution of larger cells (about 7 μm) looks like sandwich. The effects of foaming temperatures and transfer times on the cellular sizes and cell densities of porous materials were discussed. Particular emphasis was given to the effects of crystalline on the microcellular morphology. The relaxation mechanism of microcellular materials was systemically investigated by dynamic mechanics analysis. A plain on the storage modulus curve before T_g was observed due to the densification of cells. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 45: 2890–2898, 2007
