Novel Bis-arylPheDOT Synthons for Electrochromic Polymers

Two terthiophenes incorporating the synthon 3,4-(1,2-phenylenedioxy)thiophene (PheDOT) have been developed. Specifically, 2,5-bisthienyl-3,4-(1,2-phenylenedioxy)thiophene (BTh-PheDOT 1) and 2,5-bisethylenedioxythienyl-3,4-(1,2-phenylenedioxy)thiophene (BEDOT-PheDOT 2) were electropolymerized to form electroactive polymer films (P1 and P2) that switched between two highly colored states with the more electron-rich EDOT derivative P2 observed to switch at a lower potential. Additionally, both P1 and P2 displayed moderate to low optical bandgaps of 1.8 and 1.6 eV, respectively. Crystal structures of BTh-PheDOT showed the monomer to be nearly planar with π -stacking observable between monomers. These findings demonstrate the potential of PheDOT as an electroactive synthon for the formation of well-ordered systems.     

Quaternary Ammonium Polyelectrolytes. V. Amination Studies of Chloromethylated Polystyrene with N,N-Dimethylalkylamines

The amination reactions of chloromethylated polystyrene with N,N-dimethyldodecylamine, N,N-dimethyltetradecylamine, and N,N-dimethylhexadecylamine were studied. The physical properties, particularly the solubility properties of the resulting polymers, are influenced by the hydrophobic properties of the long alkyl chain on the N⁺ atoms. The main factor that influences the kinetics of the reactions is the polymersolvent interaction parameter.     

Syntheses of Optically Active Polyacrylates

ABSTRACT

Different secondary alcohols were resolved by lipase catalyzed transesterification using 2,3-butanedione monoxime acrylate as acrylating agent. The results showed that the reaction rates were the fastest among reactions reported until now. The effect of solvent on the transesterification rate was studied. The enantiomeric excess (ee) and enantiomeric purity (E value) of all the acrylate monomers were determined. The synthesized optically active acrylate monomers were polymerized by free radical polymerization technique.     

Interaction of Naproxen with Crystalline and Amorphous Methylated β-Cyclodextrin in the Liquid and Solid State

Abstract

Interactions of naproxen (NAP) with amorphous, randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin at a degree of substitution per anhydroglucose unit of 1.8 (RAMEB) and with crystalline heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DIMEB) were studied in aqueous solution and in the solid state using, respectively, phase-solubility analysis (at 25 °C, 37 °C and 47 °C) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) supported by X-ray powder diffractometry. RAMEB and DIMEB displayed similar solubilizing and complexing abilities towards NAP, suggesting analogous inclusion modes of the drug in the host cavity in aqueous solution. Differences were instead observed in interactions in the solid state, where the amorphizing capacity of RAMEB toward NAP (evaluated by DSC) was about twice that of DIMEB at each drug-to-carrier ratio. Assuming that inclusion complexation is also involved in solid-state interactions, molecular modelling accounted for the experimental results in terms of structural features of DIMEB, i.e. the particular inwards orientation of O-6-C-8 groups of three alternate glucoses on the primary hydroxyl side which hampers a deep penetration of NAP in the DIMEB cavity in the solid state. On the contrary, no obstruction of the cavity apparently occurs with RAMEB due its noncrystalline state. The aqueous dissolution rate of NAP from NAP-RAMEB and NAP-DIMEB blends containing 0.59, 0.73, 0.85, and 0.92 mass fraction of carrier linearly increased at decreasing drug-to-carrier ratios. The improvement was 5 to 20 times (from powders) and 50 to 200 times (from discs) the dissolution rate of NAP alone for both carrier. Therefore the choice of the amorphous RAMEB in pharmaceutical formulations can be recommended mainly for economic reasons, though the anhydrous and non-hygroscopic nature of crystalline DIMEB might be of particular advantage in case of moisture sensitive formulations.     

Room Temperature Phosphorescence of 1-Bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene Induced by Sodium Deoxycholate

Sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC) can induce 1-bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene (BBAN) to undergo strong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) without the removal of dissolved oxygen from the solution. RTP spectra, phosphorescence polarization and ¹³C NMR results, along with the molecular modeling calculations, supported the conclusion that BBAN molecule was combined in a sandwich with two NaDOC molecules by a “back-to-back” hydrophobic interaction arising from the apolar faces of the NaDOC molecules, which provided BBAN with a rigid enough microenvironment to produce RTP.
