Optically Active Poly[2-(sec-butyl)aniline] Nanofibers Prepared via Enantioselective Polymerization.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present a new synthetic route to produce optically active nanofibers of poly[2-(sec-butyl) aniline] (PSBA). Optically active PSBA nanofibers were produced by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of a racemic monomer, (±)-2-sec-buthylaniline, in the presence of 1.5 M (+)- or (-)-camphor sulfonic acid (HCSA) with a monomer concentration of 0.025 M at 0 °C. The mirror-imaged circular dichroism spectra of both PSBA/(+)HCSA and PSBA/(-)HCSA show that the two polymers are optically active enantiomers, and in this condition, the chemical oxidation of 2SBA is enantioselective polymerization. The produced polymer has a uniform nanofibrillar morphology with an average diameter of 55 nm according to scanning electron microscopy and a number average molecular weight of 4680 g/mol as determined by gel permeation chromatography.

Optically Transparent and Toughened Poly(methyl methacrylate) Composite Films with Acylated Cellulose Nanofibers.

Project description:In this work, nanocomposites of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with cellulose nanofiber (CNF) were prepared by a solution casting technique. CNF was modified by propionic anhydride (PA) to form surface-propionylated CNF (CNFp) to improve its compatibility with the PMMA matrix. CNF, CNFp, and acetylated CNF were compared with respect to their influence as fillers in PMMA composite films by ultraviolet-visible transmittance, haze values, tensile strength testing, and water contact angle measurement. It was demonstrated that 1 wt % of CNFp has good compatibility and uniform dispersion in the PMMA matrix, as demonstrated by the formation of a smooth surface composite film with good transparency, enhanced tensile properties, improved toughness, and lower wettability. Therefore, PMMA/CNFp composite films have great potential for use in several applications such as lightweight transparent materials, window substitutes, and see-through packaging.

ITO/poly(aniline)/sol-gel glass: An optically transparent, pH-responsive substrate for supported lipid bilayers.

Project description:Described here is fabrication of a pH-sensitive, optically transparent transducer composed of a planar indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode overcoated with a a poly(aniline) (PANI) thin film and a porous sol-gel layer. Adsorption of the PANI film renders the ITO electrode sensitive to pH, whereas the sol-gel spin-coated layer makes the upper surface compatible with fusion of phospholipid vesicles to form a planar supported lipid bilayer (PSLB). The response to changes in the pH of the buffer contacting the sol-gel/PANI/ITO electrode is pseudo-Nernstian with a slope of 52 mV/pH over a pH range of 4-9. Vesicle fusion forms a laterally continuous PSLB on the upper sol-gel surface that is fluid with a lateral lipid diffusion coefficient of 2.2 ?m2/s measured by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Due to its lateral continuity and lack of defects, the PSLB blocks the pH response of the underlying electrode to changes in the pH of the overlying buffer. This architecture is simpler to fabricate than previously reported ITO electrodes derivatized for PSLB formation, and should be useful for optical monitoring of proton transport across supported membranes derivatized with ionophores and ion channels.

2,6-Dibromo-4-butyl-aniline.

Project description:In the title compound, C(10)H(13)Br(2)N, the amino N atom is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.004?Å. Weak intra-molecular N-H?Br hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a zigzag chain parallel to the b axis by weak N-H?N hydrogen bonds.

Enantioselective hydroformylation of aniline derivatives.

Project description:We have developed a ligand that reversibly binds to aniline substrates, allowing for the control of regioselectivity and enantioselectivity in hydroformylation. In this paper we address how the electronics of the aniline ring affect both the binding of the substrate to the ligand and the enantioselectivity in this reaction.

4-(sec-Butyl-amino)-3-nitro-benzoic acid.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of title compound, C(11)H(14)N(2)O(4), consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A and B). In each, intra-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs. The mean plane of the nitro group forms dihedral angles of 4.5?(3) and 0.5?(3)° with the benzene ring in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. In mol-ecule A, there is disorder of the butyl-amino group which corresponds to an approximate 180° rotation about the N-C(H) bond, forming two sites with refined occupancies of 0.722?(6) and 0.278?(6). Mol-ecule B is similarly disordered but in addition there is further rotational disorder about the C(H)-C(H(2)) bond giving a ratio of occupancies for three components of 0.42:0.35:0.23. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The crystal structure is also stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H?O inter-actions.

Simple strategy for synthesis of optically active allylic alcohols and amines by using enantioselective organocatalysis.

Project description:A simple organocatalytic one-pot protocol for the construction of optically active allylic alcohols and amines using readily available reactants and catalyst is presented. The described reaction is enabled by an enantioselective enone epoxidation/aziridination-Wharton-reaction sequence affording two highly privileged and synthetically important classes of compounds in an easy and benign way. The advantages of the described sequence include easy generation of stereogenic allylic centers, also including quaternary stereocenters, with excellent enantio- and diastereomeric-control and high product diversity. Furthermore, using monosubstituted enones as substrates, having moderate enantiomeric excess, the one-pot reaction sequence proceeds with an enantioenrichment of the products and high diastereoselectivity was achieved.

Enantioselective Tail-to-Head Terpene Cyclizations by Optically Active Hexameric Resorcin[4]arene Capsule Derivatives.

Project description:Molecular capsules enable the conversion of substrates inside a closed cavity, mimicking to some extent enzymatic catalysis. Chirality transfer from the molecular capsule onto the encapsulated substrate has been only studied in a few cases. Here we demonstrate that chirality transfer is possible inside a rather large molecular container of approximately 1400 Å3 . Specifically, we present 1) the first examples of optically active hexameric resorcin[4]arene capsules, 2) their ability to enantioselectively catalyze tail-to-head terpene cyclizations, and 3) the surprisingly high sensitivity of enantioselectivity on the structural modifications.

Synthesis and characterization of butyl acrylate-co-poly (ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate obtained by microemulsion polymerization.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of copolymers of n-Butyl Acrylate (BA) and Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) were realized by microemulsion. In this synthesis, the relation of PEGDMA 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% wt with respect to BA was changed. The copolymers obtained were characterized by the determination of conversions (gravimetry), infrared spectroscopy: Fourier transform (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results confirmed the synthesis of BA-co - PEGDMA copolymers by the identification of characteristic FTIR bands and which determined the glass transition temperature of the copolymers. The conversions were found in the range of 85% to 90%. Within the stability of the produced latex, it was observed that at 10% and 30% wt. of PEGDMA the systems were stable, but when more PEGDMA was added up 40% to 50% wt., the system became unstable. The stability of produced latexes depends on the PEGDMA contents and this must be less than 30% wt.; meanwhile the PEGDMA content greater than 30% wt. leads to unstable latexes, forming clots. Copolymers showed single glass transition temperatures between -53.37°C and -16.58°C, depending on the composition of PEGDMA in the copolymers. Resulting in the different arrangements of units of PEGDMA along in the chain affected the thermal properties of the final copolymers.

A convenient route to optically pure ?-alkyl-?-(sec-amino)alanines.

Project description:The cyclization of N-Boc-?-alkylserines to corresponding ?-lactones under Mitsunobu reaction conditions and the ring opening with heterocyclic amines (pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine and thiomorpholine) produced N-Boc-?-alkyl-?-(sec-amino)alanines. The removal of the Boc group gives di-hydrochlorides of non-protein amino acids.
