A series of chelated dehydroacetic acid–imine-based ligands L1H~L4H was synthesized by reacting dehydroacetic acid with 2-t-butylaniline, (S)-1-phenyl-ethylamine, 4-methoxylbenzylamine, and 2-(aminoethyl)pyridine, respectively, in moderate yields. Ligands L1H~L4H reacted with AlMe3 in toluene to afford corresponding compounds AlMe2L1 (1), AlMe2L2 (2), AlMe2L3 (3), and AlMe2L4 (4). All the ligands and aluminum compounds were characterized by IR spectra, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the ligands L1H~L4H and corresponding aluminum derivatives 1, 3, and 4 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The catalytic activities using these aluminum compounds as catalysts for the ε-caprolactone ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and styrene oxide-CO2 coupling reactions were studied. The results show that increases in the reaction temperature and selective solvent intensify the conversions of ε-caprolactone to polycaprolactone. Regarding the coupling reactions of styrene oxide and CO2, the conversion rate is over 90% for a period of 12 h at 90 °C. This strategy dispenses the origination of cyclic styrene carbonates, which is an appealing concern because of the transformation of CO2 into an inexpensive, renewable and easy excess carbon feedstock.

The synthesis, structure and composition of triblock poly(ester-siloxane-ester) copolymers, PLLA-PDMS-PLLA, based on α,ω–diaminopropyl-poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and L-lactide were studied in this work. The samples of the controlled block length were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide in the presence of stannous octoate, Sn(Oct)2, as a catalyst, and aminopropyl-terminated siloxane prepolymer, as a macroinitiator, in a concentrated toluene solution. Influence of temperature and concentration of the catalyst on the structure, composition and size of the copolymers were investigated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and dilute solution viscometry.

Aim and Objective: During the investigation of sodium nitrite-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction of aryls, an unprecedented C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H coupling of substituted 2-aryl acetonitrile was found. Materials and Methods: The structure of the coupled product was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and comparison of its derivatives with known compounds. The effects of methoxy group in the benzene ring on the reaction were evaluated. Results: The optimized reaction conditions are summarized as follows: CF3SO3H/substrate = 1.5 equiv., NaNO2/substrate = 0.3 equiv., CH3CN as solvent. 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile and 2-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile could also generate C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H coupling. The coupling reaction occurred as a typical radial mechanism. Conclusion: An unprecedented cyano-induced, NaNO2-catalyzed oxidative C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H coupling was reported. The reaction proceeded under very mild conditions, using O2 in the air as terminal oxidant. The unique oxidative manner might provide more inspiration for the development of intriguing oxidative coupling reactions.

The aim of this paper is to present a synthesis method of poly(ε-caprolactone) by the ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone catalyzed with nontoxic magnesium lactate. The results indicated that Mg(Lac)2 is a catalyst with moderate activity for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone. Effects of the catalyst and reaction temperatures on the microstructure of the ε-caprolactone and L-lactide copolymers were investigated by means of 13C-NMR spectroscopy. An increase in the reaction temperature enhances the role of transesterification and the extent of randomness.

A method for the synthesis of 2-(2-(dialkylamino)ethylamino)ethanols based on the epoxide ring opening in styrene oxide by N,N-disubstituted ethylenediamines was developed. It is shown that the opening of the oxirane ring by diamines in 2-propanol at room temperature occurs mainly according to the Krasusky rule at the bond between the oxygen atom and the less substituted carbon atom. A mixture of two products with the predominance of the secondary diamino alcohol up to 82% was obtained. It was found that the separation of the products by distillation or recrystallization does not allow obtaining pure isomers. The mixture of isomers was converted into dihydrochlorides by dry HCl in dioxane and diethyl ether. Pure 2-(2-(dialkylamino)ethylamino)-1-phenylethanols and 2-(2-(dialkylamino)ethylamino)-2-phenylethanols were separated by the first fractional recrystallization of a mixture of diaminoalcohol dihydrochlorides from a mixed solvent followed by alkalization of the products with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The diamino alcohols were characterized by FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR and HRMS-ESI.
