Stabilization of Inverse Miniemulsions by Silyl-Protected Homopolymers

چکیده
Inverse (water-in-oil) miniemulsions are an important method to encapsulate hydrophilic payloads such as oligonucleotides or peptides. However, the stabilization of inverse miniemulsions usually requires block copolymers that are difficult to synthesize and/or cannot be easily removed after transfer from a hydrophobic continuous phase to an aqueous continuous phase. We describe here a new strategy for the synthesis of a surfactant for inverse miniemulsions by radical addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, which consists in a homopolymer with triisopropylsilyl protecting groups. The protecting groups ensure the efficient stabilization of the inverse (water-in-oil, w/o) miniemulsions. Nanocapsules can be formed and the protecting group can be subsequently cleaved for the re-dispersion of nanocapsules in an aqueous medium with a minimal amount of additional surfactant.

A highly diastereoselective approach for the synthesis of protected a,b-dioxyaldehydes derived from (Z)tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl “super silyl” enol ethers is described. A general and highly syn-stereoselective aldol reaction directed by the “super silyl” group catalyzed by triflimide (HNTf2) is developed providing a,bdioxyaldehydes and 1,2,3-triol fragments which can be a useful platform for th...

Based on a preactivation protocol with (p-Tol)2SO/Tf2O, a practical, straightforward, and high-yielding synthesis of α-sialyl C-glycosides was accomplished by coupling N-acetyl-5-N,4-O-oxazolidione protected thiosialoside with various trimethylsilyl enol ethers and allyltrimethylsilanes. High yields and excellent α-selectivities were obtained for the strong π-nucleophiles with large nucleophili...

Abstract:Turmeric is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which is extensively used as a spice, food preservative and colouring material. Curcumin is a main bioactive natural compound derived from the rhizome of this plant. Curcumin can exist in several tautomeric forms, keto and enol. The keto form is more stable than enol form. Silyl ethers have proven to be versatile substrates for...

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003 Miniemulsions are specially formulated heterophase systems consisting of stable nanodroplets in a continuous phase. The narrowly size distributed nanodroplets of 50 to 500 nm can be prepared by shearing a system containing oil, water, a surfactant, and an osmotic pressure agent which is insoluble in the continuous phase. Since each of the nanodroplets ca...
