Synthesis and Characterization of a Trifunctional Photoinitiator Based on Two Commercial Photoinitiators with α-Hydroxyl Ketone Structure

A trifunctional photoinitiator based on commercial photoinitiators 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (Irgacure1173) and 2-hydroxy-4′-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone (Irgacure2959) was synthesized by an esterization reaction. Its structure was characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry, Infrared Transformed Fourier, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra, 13 Carbon Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra, Mass Spectrometry, and Thermogravimetry. In addition, its photoinitiating activity was investigated. The results showed that the novel photoinitiator had good photoinitiating activity and thermal stability compared to commercial photoinitiators. The migration of the residual photoinitiator in the cured film was lower than that of 1173 and 2959.

Synthesis of a Bis-oxabicyclo[5.4.0] Derivative and their Theoretical Evaluation as a Dopamine, Serotonin Transporters Inhibitor

The aim of this investigation was to synthesize a bis-oxabicyclo[5.4.0] derivative (compound 6) was prepared from Fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. The chemical structure of the compounds was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Besides, the theoretical activity of compound 6 on either dopamine (4m48 protein) or serotonin (5i6z protein) transporters was evaluated using fluoxetine and altropone as controls in a Docking model. The data found indicate a higher interaction of 6 with 5i6z protein compared with fluoxetine. In addition, 6 could have lower affinity by 4m48 protein in comparison with altropone. All data showed that compound 6 could be good dopamine, serotonin transporters inhibitor.
