  • polymerization amplified stereoselectivity pass of asymmetric michael Addition Reaction and aldol Reaction catalyzed by helical poly phenyl isocyanide bearing secondary amine pendants
    Macromolecules, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ling Shen, Xiao-hua Hou, Na Liu
    Abstract:

    A novel enantiopure phenyl isocyanide (1) carrying tert-butyloxycarboryl (Boc) protected l-prolinol ester was designed and synthesized. Living polymerization of 1 using a alkyne–Pd(II) catalyst afforded helical poly-1ms in high yields with controlled molecular weights (Mns) and narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mns). Removing the protecting Boc groups on the l-prolinol ester pendants lead to the formation of helical poly-2m, which showed high optical activity owing to the preferred left-handed helix of polyisocyanide main chain. The poly-2ms showed excellent catalytic ability on asymmetric Michael Addition Reaction. Both the enantiomeric excess (ee) and diastereomeric ratio (dr) values of the product were linearly correlated to the Mn and optical activity of poly-2m. Increasing the Mn of poly-2ms will amplify the stereoselectivity of the asymmetric Michael Addition Reaction until the Mn reached to 44.9 kDa, revealing the polymerization amplified stereoselectivity (PASS) behavior of the asymmetric ...

    Abstract:

    A novel enantiopure phenyl isocyanide (1) carrying tert-butyloxycarboryl (Boc) protected l-prolinol ester was designed and synthesized. Living polymerization of 1 using a alkyne–Pd­(II) catalyst afforded helical poly-1ms in high yields with controlled molecular weights (Mns) and narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mns). Removing the protecting Boc groups on the l-prolinol ester pendants lead to the formation of helical poly-2m, which showed high optical activity owing to the preferred left-handed helix of polyisocyanide main chain. The poly-2ms showed excellent catalytic ability on asymmetric Michael Addition Reaction.

Increasing the Mn of poly-2ms will amplify the stereoselectivity of the asymmetric Michael Addition Reaction until the Mn reached to 44.9 kDa, revealing the polymerization amplified stereoselectivity (PASS) behavior of the asymmetric Reaction. Under optimized the Reaction condition, the ee and dr values of the Michael Addition Reaction product can be up to 99% and >99/1, respectively. Poly-2200 can be easily recovered and reused in the Michael Addition Reaction for at least 5 cycles without loss of its activity and stereoselectivity significantly. The poly-2200 can also be used to catalyze the asymmetric aldol Reaction. The ee and dr values of the model aldol Reaction were respectively up to 99% and >99/1. Moreover, the poly-2200 can be facilely recovered and alternatively catalyzed Michael Addition Reaction and aldol Reactions for at least six cycles with maintained selectivity and activity

  • Superelastic and pH-Responsive Degradable Dendrimer Cryogels Prepared by Cryo-aza-Michael Addition Reaction
    VCU Scholars Compass, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wang Juan, Hu Yang
    Abstract:

    Dendrimers exhibit super atomistic features by virtue of their well-defined discrete quantized nanoscale structures. Here, we show that hyperbranched amine-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer G4.0 reacts with linear polyethylene glycol (PEG) diacrylate (575 g/mol) via the aza-Michael Addition Reaction at a subzero temperature (−20 °C), namely cryo-aza-Michael Addition, to form a macroporous superelastic network, i.e., dendrimer cryogel. Dendrimer cryogels exhibit biologically relevant Young’s modulus, high compression elasticity and super resilience at ambient temperature. Furthermore, the dendrimer cryogels exhibit excellent rebound performance and do not show significant stress relaxation under cyclic deformation over a wide temperature range (−80 to 100 °C). The obtained dendrimer cryogels are stable at acidic pH but degrade quickly at physiological pH through self-triggered degradation. Taken together, dendrimer cryogels represent a new class of scaffolds with properties suitable for biomedical applications

  • in situ forming polyamidoamine dendrimer hydrogels with tunable properties prepared via aza michael Addition Reaction
    ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2017
    Co-Authors: Juan Wang, Remy C. Cooper, Hu Yang
    Abstract:

    In this work, we describe synthesis and characterization of novel in situ-forming polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer hydrogels (DHs) with tunable properties prepared via highly efficient aza-Michael Addition Reaction. PAMAM dendrimer G5 was chosen as the underlying core and functionalized with various degrees of acetylation using acetic anhydride. The nucleophilic amines on the dendrimer surface reacted with α, β-unsaturated ester in acrylate groups of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA, Mn = 575 g/mol) via aza-Michael Addition Reaction to form dendrimer hydrogels without the use of any catalyst. The solidification time, rheological behavior, network structure, swelling, and degradation properties of the hydrogel were tuned by adjusting the dendrimer surface acetylation degree and dendrimer concentration. The DHs were shown to be highly cytocompatible and support cell adhesion and proliferation. We also prepared an injectable dendrimer hydrogel formulation to deliver the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (...

Taken together, this new class of dendrimer hydrogel prepared by aza-Michael Addition Reaction can serve as a safe tunable platform for drug delivery and tissue engineering

  • In Situ-Forming Polyamidoamine Dendrimer Hydrogels with Tunable Properties Prepared Via Aza-Michael Addition Reaction
    'American Chemical Society (ACS)', 2017
    Co-Authors: Wang Juan, He Hongliang, Cooper, Remy C., Hu Yang
    Abstract:

    In this work, we describe synthesis and characterization of novel in situ-forming polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer hydrogels (DHs) with tunable properties prepared via highly efficient aza-Michael Addition Reaction. PAMAM dendrimer G5 was chosen as the underlying core and functionalized with various degrees of acetylation using acetic anhydride. The nucleophilic amines on the dendrimer surface reacted with α, ß-unsaturated ester in acrylate groups of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA, Mn = 575 g/mol) via aza-Michael Addition Reaction to form dendrimer hydrogels without the use of any catalyst. The solidification time, rheological behavior, network structure, swelling, and degradation properties of the hydrogel were tuned by adjusting the dendrimer surface acetylation degree and dendrimer concentration.
