  • unexpected fluorescence from polymers containing dithio amino Succinimides
    Polymer Chemistry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Junjie Yan, Bin Zheng, Donghui Pan, Runlin Yang, Lizhen Wang, Min Yang
    Abstract:

    Fluorescent polymers without conventional fluorescent units are attracting extensive interest because of their excellent biocompatibility. Succinimides are generally known as common fluorescence quenchers of proteins due to some degree of electron transfer between the excited state and the quencher. In this work, we observed unexpected fluorescence from succinimide-containing polymers. We synthesized a series of Succinimides and found that 2,3-dithio-succinimide and 2-amino-succinimide were fluorescent, presenting solvent-dependent emission. This study is the first to report that nonfluorescent Succinimides become fluorescent only by thiol and amine group substitutions, without employing any fluorescent units. The unusual fluorescence of dithio/amino-Succinimides resulted from the spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO based on density functional theory calculations. Compared with monomers, polymers containing 2-amino-succinimide exhibited substantial fluorescence enhancement (maximum of ∼200-fold) because of the isolation effect, in which nonradiative decay among succinimide fluorophores was significantly suppressed.

  • Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Succinimides via Rh/Bisphosphine-Thiourea-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation
    ACS Catalysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: Zhengyu Han, Zongpeng Zhang, Caiyou Chen, Qian Wang, Xiu-qin Dong, Xumu Zhang
    Abstract:

    We have successfully developed a highly enantioselective hydrogenation of various 3-aryl and 3-methyl maleinimides to access enantiomerically pure 3-substituted Succinimides catalyzed by Rh/bisphosphine-thiourea (ZhaoPhos). This efficient catalytic system furnished the desired 3-substituted succinimide products with high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, full conversions, almost all 3-aryl succinimide products up to 99% ee, and 3-methyl succinimide with 83% ee). Our catalytic system has a strong substrate tolerance and generality. Whether the N-substituted group of maleinimides is H or other protecting groups, the maleinimides were hydrogenated well (up to >99% ee, 99% yield). Moreover, the hydrogenation succinimide products can be readily utilized for the construction of biologically active molecules, such as chiral amides and pyrrolidines.
