We show that reversible polycondensation through alkoxide-catalyzed ester-ester exchange reaction is an effective strategy for the synthesis of telechelic polymers free from contamination with cyclic polymer in the polycondensation of...

Abstract The flame retardancy of an engineering plastic, poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), with a biobased flame retardant (FR) made from phosphorylated linseed oil (PLO) and phosphorylated downstream corn oil (PCO) was studied. Different phosphorus moieties were incorporated into the vegetable oil backbone through a ring-opening reaction. The chemical structure of the phosphorylated oil was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear resonance magnetic (NMR) spectroscopy. It was found that the incorporation of only 7.5 wt% of PLO was sufficient to change the UL-94 fire class of PBT from non-rating to V-0. The flame-retardancy mechanism of the PBT/PLO blends was evaluated from TGA-FTIR analysis. The combined effects of the gas phase mechanism and the dripping tendency of the blends aided to retard the flame propagation effectively. As the synthesized PLO and PCO contained high free fatty acids, the acid-ester exchange reaction occurred in the blends to form oligomers during the ignition. As a result, the blend dripped immediately and the drips carried all the heat to prevent fire. This work suggests that this sustainable biobased FR could be a desirable alternative to halogen-based FRs for PBT and other engineering polymers to develop more environmentally friendly FR products for various future applications.

In order to improve the bioactivity of chitosan, we synthesized a novel series of chitosan derivatives: firstly, chitosan was reacted with methylclhlorofonmate obtaining N-methoxyformylated chitosan (1), which was then converted into N-pyridylurea chitosan derivatives (2a-2c) by amine-ester exchange reaction. In addition, N-pyridylurea chitosan derivatives were conducted by reacting with iodomethane to obtain quaternized N-pyridylurea chitosan derivatives (3a-3c). The structural characteristics of as-prepared chitosan derivatives were confirmed by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity of the chitosan derivatives was assessed in vitro. As shown in this paper, the antioxidant activity decreased in the order: c > b > a. Moreover, after the quaternization with iodomethane, quaternized N-pyridylurea chitosan derivatives immediately exhibited enhanced antioxidant capacity compared with N-pyridylurea chitosan derivatives. For example, in 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, the scavenging activities of 3a-3c were 91.75%, 93.63%, and 97.63% while 2a-2c were 42.32%, 42.97%, and 43.07% at 0.4 mg/mL. L929 cells were also adopted for cytotoxicity test of chitosan and synthesized derivatives by CCK-8 assay and all samples showed decreased cytotoxicity. These results suggested that the novel pyridylurea-functionalized chitosan derivatives could be an ideal biomaterial.

Lagunamide D, a new cytotoxic macrocyclic depsipeptide, was discovered from a collection of marine cyanobacteria from Loggerhead Key in the Dry Tortugas, Florida. An intramolecular ester exchange was observed, where the 26-membered macrocycle could contract to a 24-membered compound via acyl migration at the 1,3-diol unit, and the transformation product was named lagunamide D’. The planar structures of both compounds were elucidated using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS). The absolute configurations were determined on the basis of enantioselective analysis, modified Mosher’s analysis, Kishi NMR database, and direct comparison with lagunamide A, a structure closely resembling lagunamide D. Lagunamides A and D displayed low-nanomolar antiproliferative activity against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells, while the structural transformation from the 26-membered lagunamide D macrocycle to the 24-membered ring structure for lagunamide D’ led to a 9.6-fold decrease in activity. Lagunamide D also displayed potent activity in triggering apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Further investigation on the mechanism of action of the lagunamide scaffold is needed to fully explore its therapeutic potential as an anticancer agent.
