چکیده
Brush-type macromolecules (BMs) have attracted much attention over the past decades because of their unique properties and potential applications in nanoscience, drug-delivery systems, photonics. A two-step strategy synthesis polycarbonate-grafted copolymers with either star-shaped or brush-typed morphologies using a “grafting from” approach is reported; backbone these all-polycarbonate graft made poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC), side grafts are poly(propylene (PPC). In first step, poly (vinyl-cyclohexene (PVCHC) backbones two different sizes (PVCHC35, PVCHC283) were prepared by copolymerization vinyl-cyclohexene oxide (VCHO) CO2 presence triethylborane (TEB), tetrabutyl ammonium succinate (TBAS) as initiator. second dangling vinyl double bonds PVCHC transformed into carboxylic acid groups. After partial neutralization latter hydroxide, PPC could be grown from sites propylene (PO) TEB. Before attempting above grafted copolymers, we check viability synthetic preparing polymethacrylate grafts. case, was generated reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization methacrylic (MAA), followed growth carboxylates initiating sites. both cases (PVCHC-g-PPC PMAA-g-PPC), types architectures corresponding to synthesized: obtained rather short backbones, relatively long grafts, on one hand, semiflexible cylinders These various structures characterized nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gel permeation chromatography/light scattering (GPC/LS), further investigated atomic force microscopy (AFM). The reported method provides robust way synthesize well-defined polycarbonates star-type brush-type polyacrylate polycarbonate Thermal mechanical also investigated.

Metal-free ring-opening of epoxides with potassium trifluoroborates.
The ring-opening of epoxides with potassium trifluoroborates proceeds smoothly in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride under metal-free conditions. The reactions are regioselective and afford a single diastereomer. Both electron-rich and electron-poor aryltrifluoroborates are tolerated.

Through the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of 3-ethyl-1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (C2NVP) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), a series of well-defined P(C2NVP-co-NVP) copolymers were synthesized (Mn = ca. 8000 to 16,000 and Mw/Mn < 1.5) by using a difunctional chain transfer agent, S-(1-methyl-4-hydroxyethyl acetate) O-ethyl xanthate (MHEX).

متن کاملCatalytic alcoholysis of epoxides using metal-free cucurbituril-based solids.
Metal-free cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) solid-state assemblies promote acid-catalysed alcoholysis of aliphatic and aromatic epoxides under mild conditions to give β-alkoxy alcohols, which are important intermediates for the synthesis of a vast range of compounds such as bioactive pharmaceuticals. The catalytic process is heterogeneous and the catalyst can be reused in consecutive runs without any reac...
