The one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes was accomplished by supramolecular catalysis with well-designed amino-appended β-cyclodextrins (ACDs) in water, while the key role of amino side chains in chemoselectivity was determined for the first time.

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is an amorphous polymer employed in many technological applications. In order to highlight the relationships between macroscopic properties and dynamics at a microscopic level, motions of the main-chain and of the propyl side-chains were investigated between Tg − 288 °C and Tg + 55 °C, with Tg indicating the glass transition temperature. To this aim, a combination of solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods was applied to two purposely synthesized PVB isotopomers: one fully protonated and the other perdeuterated on the side-chains. 1H time domain NMR and 1H field cycling NMR relaxometry experiments, performed across and above Tg, revealed that the dynamics of the main-chain corresponds to the α-relaxation associated to the glass transition, which was previously characterized by dielectric spectroscopy. A faster secondary relaxation was observed for the first time and ascribed to side-chains. The geometry and rate of motions of the different groups in the side-chains were characterized below Tg by 2H NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract The literature has a limited amount of data on chain reactions of unsaturated polymers, in particular diene polymers. The appearance of a paper dealing with addition of dichlorocarbene to polyisoprene and to polybutadiene has impelled us to publish results of studies we made on reactions of unsaturated polymers with carbenes, which have made it possible for the first time to obtain polymers containing in the main chain, or in the side chains, cyclopropane groups with polar substituents. Addition of carbenes to cis-1, 4-polyisoprene, trans-1, 4-polyisoprene, 1, 4-polybutadiene, and 1, 2-polybutadiene was accomplished through decomposition reactions of diazoacetic esters catalyzed by copper salts (for carbethoxycarbene and carbomethoxycarbene) and the reaction of the ethyl ester of trichloroacetic acid with sodium methylate (for dichlorocarbene).

For the first time we have been able to interpret the catalytic activity of an enzyme in stereochemical terms. It seems rash to generalize from the structure of one enzyme, but we may broaden our base by elevating myoglobin and haemoglobin to the rank of honorary enzymes, as Monod has suggested, and call the haem groups their active sites. What these three proteins have in common is the distribution of polar and nonpolar side chains; the interior of the lysozyme as well as that of the globin chains is made up largely of hydrocarbons, providing a medium of low dielectric constant. In each case the active centre lies in a pocket formed by this non-polar medium, and the pocket contains some polar residues which are essential for activity.
