Synthesis and Bioassay of Ethyl-2- (2-((Diethoxyphosphoryl) (Aryl) Methylamino)Thiazol-4-Yl)-2-(Methoxyimino)Acetates

Abstract

A simple, efficient, and environmentally benign methodology has been accomplished for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates by one-pot three-component reaction of ethyl-2-amino-α-(methoxy-imino)-4-thiazoleacetate, aldehydes, and diethylphosphite by using Amberlyst-15 as catalyst at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. Their chemical structures were characterized by infrared (IR), NMR (¹H, ¹³C & ³¹P), mass spectral, and elemental analysis. All the title compounds were screened for radical-scavenging activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitic oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) methods.

Abstract

The reactions of 4-methyl-2-[N-(p-toluidinyl)methyl]aniline with phosphorus oxychloride, thiophosphoryl chloride, and their derivatives yield 1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorine 2-oxides and 2-sulphides. Their ¹H NMR and infrared spectra are discussed. Related 1,3,2-benzodiazophosphorine and 1,3,2-dibenzodiazaphosphocine 2-oxides and 2-sulphides are compared.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Biological Screening of Some Novel Thiazolidin-4-One and α-Aminophosphonate Derivatives

Abstract

Synthesis of some new functionalized thiazolidin-4-ones and α-amino phosphonate derivatives has been reported. The imines were synthesized from the reaction of various substituted anilines with 1-phenyl-3-(pyridine-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde in ethanol at reflux condition. The corresponding thiazolidin-4-ones and α-aminophosphonates were prepared by reaction of imines with mercaptoacetic acid and triethyl phosphite, respectively. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data and were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities.

The First Mitsunobu Protocol for Efficient Synthesis of α-Acyloxyphosphonates Using 4,4′-Azopyridine

Abstract

This is the first report on applying the Mitsunobu protocol for the synthesis of various α-acyloxyphosphonates using 4,4′-azopyridine and PPh₃ with diverse aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids. Under these conditions, diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) as the traditional reagent for Mitsunobu reaction is not efficient. The insoluble pyridine hydrazine byproduct can be simply isolated and recycled to its azopyridine by an oxidation reaction and reused again.

Optically Active Helical Polymer From Anionic Polymerization of (S)-6-Acrylyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-binaphthyl

(S)-6-Acrylyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-binaphthyl (ADBN) was synthesized and anionically polymerized using n-BuLi as an initiator. The absolute value of specific optical rotation [α]²⁵₅₈₉ of poly-ADBN is ?118.0 and that is about 8 times that of the starting monomer ADBN. Poly-ADBN was confirmed to exist in the form of one-handed helical structure in solution by means of comparing the specific optical rotation, the CD and UV-Vis spectra with that of ADBN and the model compounds such as (S)-6-propionyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-binaphthyl (PDBN) and (S)-6-heptanoyl-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-binaphthyl (HDBN). This conclusion was also confirmed by the fact that the g-value of poly-ADBN is about 13 times as high as that of its monomer and model compounds     

Preparation of PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO/α-cyclodextrin supramolecular hydrogels hybridized with exfoliated graphite nanoplates

Abstract

In this work, an effective method was developed to prepare novel PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO (EPE)/α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) supramolecular hydrogels containing exfoliated graphite nanoplates (xGNPs) by mixing an aqueous solution of α-CD with an aqueous dispersion of xGNPs at the presence of amphiphilic EPE copolymer. The EPE copolymer played three important roles in the preparation process: (1) as an exfoliating agent to break expanded graphites into xGNPs under ultrasonication, (2) as a dispersant to stabilize xGNPs in the aqueous solution, and （3）as a component to form the inclusion complexes with α-CD. The resultant xGNPs/EPE/α-CD hybridized hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which confirmed not only the formation of supramolecular hydrogel structure but also the homogenous dispersion of xGNPs in the hydrogel matrix. It was found that the existence of xGNPs can accelerate the speed of gel formation in comparison with that of the native EPE/α-CD hydrogel. Additionally, the water-retention ability and the release behavior of vancomycin hydrochloride for the xGNPs/EPE/α-CD hybridized hydrogels were investigated.     

Synthesis of Sub-100 nm Nanoparticles by Emulsifier-free Emulsion Polymerization of α-Methylstyrene,Methyl Methacrylate and Acrylic Acid

The emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of α-methylstyrene (AMS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of functional monomer acrylic acid (AA) was carried out in batch process, giving birth to sub-100 nm nanoparticles. The kinetics of polymerization was investigated. The morphology and size of particles were monitored by TEM. The influences of the functional monomer AA concentration, initiator ammonium persulfate (APS) concentration, and polymerization temperature were studied. It was found that AMS caused a drastic decrease in both the rate of polymerization and the average degree of polymerization. The activation energy calculated from Arrhenius plot turned out to be 83.6 kJ/mol.     

Amino Acid Based Epoxy-Poly(Ester Amide)s—A New Class of Functional Biodegradable Polymers: Synthesis and Chemical Transformations

A new class of biodegradable functional polymers – epoxy-poly(ester amide)s (EPEAs), was synthesized for the first time on the basis of naturally occurring α-amino acids, fatty diols and cis- and trans-epoxysuccinic acids. The syntheses were conducted via both solution Active Polycondensation and Interfacial Polycondensation using, accordingly, either activated di-p-nitrophenyl esters or dichlorides of cis- and trans-epoxysuccinic acids as bis-electrophilic monomers. Di-p-toluenesulfonic acid salts of bis-(L-phenylalanine)-1,6-hexylene and bis-(L-leucine)-1,6-hexylene diesters were used in both cases as bis-nucleophilic counter-partners. High-molecular-weight polymers (M_w up to 67.000) with desirable material properties were obtained via solution polycondensation using di-p-nitrophenyl-trans-epoxy succinate. The EPEAs were chemically modified further under mild conditions: oxirane groups along the backbone were reacted with both nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents, and also subjected to thermal and chemical curing. The macromolecular transformations of EPEAs substantially broaden material properties and, hence, the potential to apply amino acid-based biodegradable poly(ester amide)s as absorbable drug carriers and surgical devices.
