Degradable dendrimer‐like PEOs were designed using an original ABC‐type branching agent featuring a cleavable ketal group, following an iterative divergent approach based on the anionic ring opening polymerization (AROP) of ethylene oxide and arborization of PEO chain ends. A seventh generation dendrimer‐like PEO carrying 192 peripheral hydroxyls and exhibiting a molar mass of 446 kg · mol−1 was obtained in this way. The chemical degradation of these dendritic scaffolds was next successfully accomplished under acidic conditions, forming linear PEO chains of low molar mass (≈2 kg · mol−1), as monitored by 1H NMR, SEC, and MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry as well as by AFM.
Metal complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with a Schiff base derived from isatin and 2-amino-3-carboxyethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene were synthesised and characterised by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis, IR, 1H NMR and EPR spectral studies. The spectral data revealed that the ligand acted as a neutral tridentate, coordinating to the metal ion through the azomethine nitrogen, ester carbonyl and carbonyl oxygen of the isatin moiety. The EPR spectral data indicated that metal-ligand bonds have considerable covalent character. The copper(II) complex was subjected to X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetric studies. The ligand and the metal complexes were screened for their antibacterial activity and it has been observed that the metal complexes are more potent bactericides than the ligand. 相似文献
Pd-mediated cycloisomerization of 3-C-propargyl-ribo- and allofuranose derivatives was investigated in detail to understand the influence of electronic factors on the regioselectivity (6-exo- vs 7-endo) of alkynol cycloisomerization leading either to a six- or seven-membered ring. In general, the 6-exo-dig mode of cyclization is facile and is independent of electronic factors. With some of the alkynols, a regioselective (7-endo?) hydration of the alkyne unit was observed and this has been attributed to the participation of C(3)-OH. When the C(3)-OH was protected as its benzyl ether, cycloisomerization of these alkynols occurred exclusively in a 6-exo-dig mode resulting in the corresponding [3.2.1]-bicyclic ketals. Additional control experiments conducted were in support of the participation of C(3)-OH in regioselective alkyne hydration. 相似文献
A simple and efficient approach for the construction of spirooxindole-pyrrolizidines and dispirooxindole-piperazines by cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylide generated by isatin and proline has been demonstrated successfully. The formation of two different types of frameworks by two different modes of cycloaddition is explored. The developed protocol highlights simple reaction conditions, easy workup processes, and very good yields of products. 相似文献
