Approximate transferability in alkanenitriles

The atomic and bond properties of a series of alkanenitriles were calculated in order to analyze the transferability of the CN, methyl, and methylene groups. The calculations were carried out using the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory on RHF/6‐31++G**// RHF/6‐31G** wave functions obtained for compounds CN–R (R ranging from H to C₁₁H₂₃). Linear correlations between L(Ω) and N(Ω) were used to establish N(CH₂) and N(CH₃) nearly transferable values. Average values and maximum differences to the mean value of several properties were used for classifying the CN group. It shows a transferable behavior along the CN–R series for R>Et. The methyl group presents specific properties when R<Pr. The methylene groups can be classified considering both their position with respect to the end of the chain and the position with respect to the CN group. The atomic energy displays a dependence on the molecular size. Although this behavior does not allow to consider this property as transferable, both the ab initio total electronic molecular energies and the experimental heats of formation can be fitted, by linear regression analysis, as a function of the number of methylene groups. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Surface composition and property of film prepared with aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate including fluorinated block copolymer

The aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate (PUA) including small amount of fluorinated block copolymers containing carboxyl groups (PATF), which can be dissolved in water, was used to make films and the surface properties of these films were examined. The experimental data show that the modified PUA film exhibits a hydrophobic surface property, although the original surface of PUA film is hydrophilic. The surface composition of the modified PUA film was measured by ATR and XPS. The results indicate that there is a concentration gradient of the fluorine groups along the lines of thickness of the modified film and towards the outmost surface layer, resulting from the migration of fluorinated blocks to the air side surface of the modified PUA film during the film formation process. However, the PUA film can not be modified effectively by adding the sodium salt of PATF, since the urethane groups in the system are easy to occupy on the surface of the film.     

Protection of immobilized sulfhydryl groups against autooxidation by alterations in their microenvironment

Immobilized sulfhydryl groups were prepared by partial thiolation of NH₂-glass beads. The microenvironment of the immobilized SH groups was varied by different chemical modifications of neighboring NH₂ groups. Introduction of a strong charge in the surroundings of immobilized sulfhydryls results in their dramatic stabilization against autooxidation. This effect is due to the salting of O₂ from the surface microlayer of the thiolated beads.     

Interactions between terminally substituted amino acids in an aqueous and a non-aqueous environment. Enthalpic interaction coefficients in water and in N,N-dimethylformamide at 25°C

Enthalpies of dilution of the N-acetyl amides of glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, and L-phenylalanine, dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent have been measured at 25°C. The results obtained have been analyzed to give the enthalpic interaction (or virial) coefficients of the solutes and these are compared with information previously obtained in aqueous systems. There are marked differences in the interaction properties in the two solvents and, while the additivity approach of Savage and Wood is applicable to the solutes in water it is not suitable for representing the interactions in DMF. A correlation is presented between the enthalpic second virial coefficients in DMF and the propensity of side-chains to be in proximity in globular proteins.     

Acridin-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl （Amoc）： A New Photochemically Removable Protecting Group for Alcohols

Synthesis and photochemistry of acridin-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl(Amoc)as a new photochemically removableprotecting group for alcohols were described.Three carbonates of alcohols 1—3 were synthesized throughcondensation of 9-hydroxymethylacridine and chloroformates of alcohols,including benzyl alcohol,phenethylalcohol and one galactose derivative.The photolysis of protected alcohols can efficiently release the correspondingalcohol in the efficiencies(Q_(u1)ε)of 100—200(quantum yield Q_(u1)=0.011—0.023,and molar absorptivity ε=9.1×10~3—9.8×10~3 mol~(-1)·L·cm~(-1))under 360 nm light.

Regiospecificity of nucleophilic substitution in 4,6-dinitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazole

The reactions of 4,6-dinitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazole with anionic nucleophiles RS^– and N₃ ^– lead to the regiospecific replacement of the nitro group at position 4. The reaction with N₂H₄·H₂O + FeCl₃ also results in reduction of only the 4-NO₂ group. Based on this fact, a procedure was developed for the preparation of previously unknown 3-unsubstituted 4-X-6-nitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazoles (X is a residue of a nucleophile or NH₂). Comparison of the data on the selective nucleophilic substitution (4-NO₂ group) in 3-Z-1-aryl-4,6-dinitro-1H-indazoles shows that in the case of Z = H, the regiospecificity of substitution is determined by the electronic effect of the annelated pyrazole ring.     

Production of submicron-size monodisperse polymer particles having aldehyde groups by the seeded aldol condensation polymerization of glutaraldehyde (II)

Submicron-size monodisperse polystyrene/polyglutaraldehyde (PS/PGLA) composite particles having aldehyde groups at the surfaces were produced by the seeded aldol condensation polymerization of glutaraldehyde at various temperatures of 040°C. Since a part of aldehyde groups was consumed by the Cannizzaro reaction (hemiacetal formation) as a intermolecular reaction of PGLA, the amount of aldehyde groups on PS/PGLA composite particles was varied by the competition between the aldol condensation reaction and the Cannizzaro reaction at the various temperatures.Part CXXXIX of the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion
