Cavicchi iii ABSTRACT In most synthetic bioresorbable polymers, changing the physical properties such as elasticity and toughness by monomers results in a change to the crystallinity of the material, which manifests through alteration of its mechanical performance. “Thiol-yne” click chemistry has been discovered as an efficient methodology for step-growth polymerization between thiols and activated alkynes. Variation of the solvent polarity and base strength results in a series of elastomers possessing a wide variation of cis stereochemistry and crystallinity resulting in wide range of elasticity and stiffness. These materials are noteworthy that they do not rely on hard block-soft block interactions for their elastic properties nor are they crosslinked, which facilitates their degradation and use in regenerative medicine applications. Significantly, the crystalline domains that form between the cis alkene units and degradable segments to provide unexpected water barrier properties while retaining the ability to be resorbed. Thus, this innovation opens the new route for developing bioresorbable elastomers that can be widely applied into tissue engineering and wireless medical bio-electronics. iv DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this work to my wife, Yu-Chia Lai, who has sacrificed her past five years to allow me to pursue my education.

ABSTRACT The click cycloaddition reaction of azides and alkynes affording 1,2,3-triazoles is a transformation widely used to obtain relevant products in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, materials science and other fields. In this work, a set of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) as “active” reaction media has been investigated in the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAc). The use of these green liquids as green and catalytic solvents has shown to improve the reaction effectiveness, giving excellent yields. The NADESs proved to be “active” in this transformation for the absence of added bases in all the performed reactions and in several cases for their reducing capabilities. The results were rationalized by DFT calculations which demonstrated the involvement of H-bonds between DESs and alkynes as well as a stabilization of copper catalytic intermediates.

  • Converting Disulfide Bridges in Native Peptides to Stable Methylene Thioacetals
    Chemical Science View Article Online EDGE ARTICLE View Journal | View Issue Converting disulfide bridges in native peptides to stable methylene thioacetals† Cite this: Chem. Sci.,2016,7, 7007 C. M. B. K. Kourra and N. Cramer* Disulfide bridges play a crucial role in defining and rigidifying the three-dimensional structure of peptides. However, disulfides are inherently unstable in reducing environments. Consequently, the development of strategies aiming to circumvent these deficiencies – ideally with little structural disturbance – are highly sought after. Herein, we report a simple protocol converting the disulfide bond of peptides into highly stable methylene thioacetal. The transformation occurs under mild, biocompatible conditions, enabling the conversion of unprotected native peptides into analogues with enhanced stability. The developed Received 23rd May 2016 protocol is applicable to a range of peptides and selective in the presence of a multitude of potentially Accepted 24th July 2016 reactive functional groups.

Youngs ii ABSTRACT Tung oil was used as diene for modification via a Diels-Alder reaction with acrylate dienophiles. Tung oil was modified with three different acrylate molecules: 3- methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MAS), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFM) and triallyl ether acrylate (TAEA) at atmospheric pressure. The modified tung oils were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT-IR. The molecular weight and distribution were characterized using GPC, and MALDI-TOF. The effects of new acrylate modified tung oils on the properties of alkyd-based coatings film were investigated including hardness, solvent resistance, flexibility, gloss, impact resistance, contact angle, tensile, and thermo-mechanical properties. The viscosity can be reduced to the application viscosity of the alkyd by the reactive diluents. Drying time study showed that drying time can be altered by types and level of diluent added. All the results revealed that modified tung oils can be used as volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant in alkyd systems.

In it they reported the conversion of 2-pentyne into a mixture of 2-butyne, 2-pentyne, and 3-hexyne (equation 1) employing a catalyst consisting of tungsten trioxide (6.8%) on silica that had been activated by treatment with dry air at 600 °C. The reaction was carried out in a fixed catalyst bed reactor at 200 to 450 °C. A few years later Mortreux showed that alkynes could be disproportionated by molybdenum oxide on silica.2 Disproportionation of alkynes by homogeneous tungsten catalysts was reported by Mortreux in 1974.3 The catalyst consisted of molybdenum hexacarbonyl and resorcinol. A typical reaction employed p-tolylphenylacetylene in decalin containing Mo(CO)6 and resorcinol in a sealed tube at 160 °C.

    ARTICLE Received 20 Jul 2015 | Accepted 16 Sep 2015 | Published 29 Oct 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9697 OPEN Efficient purification of ethene by an ethane-trapping metal-organic framework Pei-Qin Liao1, Wei-Xiong Zhang1, Jie-Peng Zhang1 & Xiao-Ming Chen1 Separating ethene (C2H4) from ethane (C2H6) is of paramount importance and difficulty. Here we show that C2H4 can be efficiently purified by trapping the inert C2H6 in a judiciously designed metal-organic framework. Under ambient conditions, passing a typical cracked gas mixture (15:1 C2H4/C2H6) through 1 litre of this C2H6 selective adsorbent directly produces 56 litres of C2H4 with 99.95% þ purity (required by the C2H4 polymerization reactor) at the outlet, with a single breakthrough operation, while other C2H6 selective materials can only produce ca. p1 litre, and conventional C2H4 selective adsorbents require at least four adsorption–desorption cycles to achieve the same C2H4 purity. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational simulation studies showed that the exceptional C2H6 selectivity arises from the proper positioning of multiple electronegative and electropositive functional groups on the ultramicroporous pore surface, which form multiple C–H ÁÁÁN hydrogen bonds with C2H6 instead of the more polar competitor C2H4. 1 MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinorganic and Synthetic Chemistry, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou 510275, P.R.
