Hydrophilic and hydrophobic copolymer systems based on acrylic derivatives of pyrrolidone and pyrrolidine

This article deals with the synthesis of hydrophilic methacrylic monomers derived from ethyl pyrrolidone [2‐ethyl‐(2‐pyrrolidone) methacrylate (EPM)] and ethyl pyrrolidine [2‐ethyl‐(2‐pyrrolidine) methacrylate (EPyM)] and their respective homopolymers. For the determination of their reactivity in radical copolymerization reactions, both monomers were copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA), the reactivity ratios being calculated by the application of linear and nonlinear mathematical methods. EPM and MMA had ratios of r_EPM = 1.11 and r_MMA = 0.76, and this indicated that EPM with MMA had a higher reactivity in radical copolymerization processes than vinyl pyrrolidone (VP; r_VP = 0.005 and r_MMA = 4.7). EPyM and MMA had reactivity ratios of r_EPyM = 1.31 and r_MMA = 0.92, and this implied, as for the EPM–MMA copolymers, a tendency to form random or Bernoullian copolymers. The glass‐transition temperatures of the prepared copolymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and were found to adjust to the Fox equation. Total‐conversion copolymers were prepared, and their behavior in aqueous media was found to be dependent on the copolymer composition. The swelling kinetics of the copolymers followed water transport mechanism case II, which is the most desirable kinetic behavior for a swelling controlled‐release material. Finally, the different states of water in the hydrogels—nonfreezing water, freezing bound water, and unbound freezing water—were determined by DSC and found to be dependent on the hydrophilic and hydrophobic units of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition reactions of unmodified aldehydes and ketones with nitroolefins catalyzed by a pyrrolidine sulfonamide

Chiral (S)-pyrrolidine trifluoromethanesulfonamide has been shown to serve as an effective catalyst for direct Michael addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones with nitroolefins. A wide range of aldehydes and ketones as Michael donors and nitroolefins as acceptors participate in the process, which proceeds with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee) and diastereoselectivity (up to 50:1 d.r.). The methodology has been employed successfully in an efficient synthesis of the potent H(3) agonist Sch 50917. In addition, a practical three-step procedure for the preparation of (S)-pyrrolidine trifluoromethanesulfonamide has been developed. The high levels of stereochemical control attending Michael addition reactions catalyzed by this pyrrolidine sulfonamide, have been investigated by using ab initio and density functional methods. Transition state structures for the rate-limiting C--C bond-forming step, corresponding to re- and si-face addition to the reactive conformation of the key enamine intermediates have been calculated. Analysis of these structures indicates that hydrogen bonding plays an important role in catalysis and that the energy barrier for si-face attack in reactions of aldehydes to form 2R,3S products is lower than that for the re-face attack leading to 2S,3R products. In contrast, the energy barrier for re-face addition is lower than that for si-face addition in reactions of ketones. The computational results, which are in good agreement with the experimental observations, are discussed in the context of the stereochemical course of these Michael addition reactions.     

One-Pot Synthesis of N-Boc-2, 5-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrrolidine

Since Daly reported the structure of epibatidine and its potent analgesic activity in 19921, study on the synthesis of epibatidine and its derivatives and relationships between the structure and activity of epibatidine has received much attention2. During the course of our research for the synthesis of epibatidine derivatives, N-boc-2, 5-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrrolidine 4 was used as the key intermediate to construct the skeleton of epibatidine via the 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition (Scheme 1).

Influence of the built-in pyridinium salt on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes catalysed by chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes

Chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes 1 with an N-benzoyl group and 2 with an N-isonicotinoyl group as well as the corresponding N-methyl (3) and N-benzyl (4) pyridinium salts of 2 were synthesized. The catalytic properties of 1–4 and 2 with excess CH₃I were explored to figure out the influence of the internal pyridinium salt in the catalyst on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes with NaClO/PPNO as an oxidant system in the aqueous/organic biphasic medium. The (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes with an internal pyridinium salt, either formed in situ or isolated, displayed higher activities than analogous complexes 1, 2 and Jacobsen's catalyst in the aforementioned reaction, with comparable high yields and ee values. The acceleration of the reaction rate is attributed to the phase transfer capability of the built-in pyridinium salt of the (salen)Mn(III) catalyst. The effect of the internal pyridinium salt on the epoxidation of substituted chromenes is similar to that of the external pyridinium salts and ammonium halides.
