  • Rearrangement of a carboxy-substituted spiro[4.4]nonatriene to annulated fulvenes through a Pd( ii )-mediated 1,5-vinyl shift
Title: Rearrangement of a carboxy-substituted spiro[4.4]nonatriene to annulated fulvenes through a Pd( ii )-mediated 1,5-vinyl shift
A transformation of spiro[4.4]nonatrienes to aryl-substituted, enantioenriched annulated fulvenes is reported. DFT calculations and empirical results support a novel mechanism of reaction involving a 1,5-vinyl shift from a vinyl–palladium species.  more » « less

    Abstract Formulations containing vinyl ethers and epoxy were successfully polymerized through a radical‐induced cationic frontal polymerization mechanism, using an iodonium salt superacid generator with a peroxide thermal radical initiator and fumed silica as a filler. It was found that an increase of vinyl ether content resulted in higher front velocities for divinyl ethers in formulations with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether. However, increased hydroxymonovinyl ether either decreased the front velocity or suppressed frontal polymerization. The kinetic effects of the superacid generator and thermal radical initiator with varying vinyl ether content were also studied. It was observed that increasing concentrations of initiators increased the front velocity, with the system exhibiting higher sensitivity to the superacid generator concentration.

    Abstract The synthesis of vinyl alcohol copolymers is limited due to the poor radical reactivity of vinyl acetate (VAc), the traditional precursor to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Main group monomers such as BN 2‐vinylnaphthalene (BN2VN) have attracted attention as alternatives to VAc to form side chain hydroxyls via oxidation, but outstanding questions of molecular weight control remain. Herein we report systematic investigation of solvent, temperature, and initiator concentration as factors influencing BN2VN degree of polymerization. We find increased chain transfer to toluene, hypothesized to arise from differences in radical stabilization and reactivity by aromatic and BN aromatic rings. As a result of these combined efforts, high molecular weight (Mw ~ 105 g mol−1) BN2VN homopolymers and BN2VN‐styrene copolymers were obtained.

    Comprehensive Summary We report an efficient and convergent strategy for the total synthesis of UCS1025A and its diastereomer tetra‐epi‐UCS1025A. UCS1025A is a representative member of the naturally occurring pyrrolizidinone polyketides, from which members with potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities have been identified. Our approach features a tandem carbonylative Stille cross coupling and Diels‐Alder reaction to forge a key C—C bond and build thetrans‐decalin system. This tandem process utilizes carbon monoxide as a one‐carbon linchpin to stitch a vinyl triflate and a vinylstannane together and form the desired enone moiety for the subsequent intramolecular Diels‐Alder cyclization. Our synthesis also provides a versatile approach for the synthesis of other related pyrrolizidinone‐containing polyketides.

    Abstract Polyamide thin‐film composite (PA‐TFC) membranes make large‐scale desalination effective. Interfacial polymerization (IP) is used to make PA‐TFC membranes, but it may limit the range of monomers that can be used, which hinders progress toward advanced membranes. Layer‐by‐layer (LbL) sequential deposition could circumvent kinetic and thermodynamic limitations of the conventional IP process to facilitate incorporation of different co‐monomers into the membrane. The selective layer needs to be deposited onto a microporous support, but depositing LbL coatings on microporous supports often results in defective membranes. Using a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) primer between the support and the LbL polyamide layer may prevent defect formation. The water permeance and salt rejection of a three layer, PVA‐primed, LbL‐based PA‐TFC membrane are discussed and compared to a membrane made without the PVA primer and a commercially available membrane. Mass transfer resistances are analyzed using a series resistance model and appear to be small or even negligible compared to that of the polyamide layer. Incorporation of a sulfonated co‐monomer into the polyamide via LbL is reported. The combination of a PVA primer layer and LbL sequential deposition may expand the range of co‐monomers that could be used relative to polyamide membranes prepared by the conventional IP process.
