A series of soluble, noncross-linked polystyrene-supported tri-phenylphosphane and 4-dimethylaminopyridine reagents were prepared. Some of these polymeric reagents contained either alkyl alcohol or phenol groups on the polymer backbone. The use of these materials as organocatalysts in a range of Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions indicated that hydroxyl groups could participate in the reactions and accelerate product formation. In the cases examined, phenol groups were more effective than alkyl alcohol groups for catalyzing the reactions. This article is one of the first reports of the synthesis and use of non-natural, bifunctional polymeric reagents for use in organic synthesis in which both functional groups can cooperatively participate in the catalysis of reactions.

The copolymerization of vinyl benzyl alcohol (VBA) and carbon monoxide (CO) to give a new polyester poly(VBA-CO) has been achieved via palladium-catalyzed hydroesterification. Reaction conditions involve moderate temperatures, moderate to low CO pressures, and low catalyst loadings to give a low molar mass (Mn 3-4 kg/mol) polymer as a 2:1 mixture of linear to branched repeat units. The polymer molar mass increase is consistent with a step-growth polymerization mechanism, and ester yields of >97% are achieved within 24 h. However, increases in Mn cease beyond 16 h. Control experiments indicate that the degree of polymerization is limited due to a combination of side reactions such as alcoholic end-group oxidation, hydroxycarbonylation, and alcohol acetylation, which lead to the degradation of monomeric and polymeric end groups. When a less promiscuous substrate is used such as 10-undecenol, higher molar masses (Mn 16 kg/mol) are achieved. This method has the potential to be a mild route to new polyester architectures with appropriate mitigation of side reactions.

Cross-linked polystyrene (PS) with polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) chains were prepared for use in solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS). The resins were prepared from styrene, styrene-PTHF macromonomers and cross-linkers 1,4-bis[4-vinylphenoxy]butane or divinylbenzene by suspension polymerization. The styrene-PTHF macromonomers were prepared by cationic polymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl bromide and 4-(4-vinylphenoxy)butyl iodide activated by silver hexafluoroantimonate and 4-(5-hydroxypentyl)styrene activated by triflic anhydride. Alternatively, polytetrahydrofuran-grafted polystyrene (PS-PTHF) resins could also be directly prepared from 5-hydroxypentyl JandaJel by cationic polymerization using triflic anhydride as the initiator. These PS-PTHF resins exhibited good swelling characteristics across a wide spectrum of polar and non-polar solvents. These resins were used in the synthesis of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, which requires β-ketoester formation at low temperature (-78°C), resulting in good yield and product purity; whereas the same synthesis carried out on PEG-grafted PS (PS-PEG) resin resulted in incomplete synthesis.

Delivery of clinically approved nonfluorescent drugs is facing challenges because it is difficult to monitor the intracellular drug delivery without incorporating any integrated fluorescence moiety into the drug carrier. The present investigation reports the synthesis of a pH-responsive autofluorescent polymeric nanoscaffold for the administration of nonfluorescent aromatic nitrogen mustard chlorambucil (CBL) drug into the cancer cells. Copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) appended styrene and CBL conjugated N-substituted maleimide monomers enables the formation of well-defined luminescent alternating copolymer. These amphiphilic brush copolymers self-organized in aqueous medium into 25-68 nm nanoparticles, where the CBL drug is enclosed into the core of the self-assembled nanoparticles. In vitro studies revealed ～70% drug was retained under physiological conditions at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. At endolysosomal pH 5.0, 90% of the CBL was released by the pH-induced cleavage of the aliphatic ester linkages connecting CBL to the maleimide unit. Although the nascent nanoparticle (without drug conjugation) is nontoxic, the drug conjugated nanoparticle showed higher toxicity and superior cell killing capability in cervical cancer (HeLa) cells rather than in normal cells. Interestingly, the copolymer without any conventional chromophore exhibited photoluminescence under UV light irradiation due to the presence of "through-space" π- π interaction between the C=O group of maleimide unit and the adjacent benzene ring of the styrenic monomer. This property helped us intracellular tracking of CBL conjugated autofluorescent nanocarriers through fluorescence microscope imaging. Finally, the 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP) colorimetric assay was executed to examine the ability of CBL-based polymeric nanomaterials toward alkylation of DNA.

High refractive index transparent nanocomposites have been developed by in situ polymerization of a precursor that contains functional monomers and surface modified anatase TiO2 nanoparticles for optoelectronic applications. The monomers are in the liquid form, so environmentally friendly solventless precursors can be prepared. The precursor can be processed into various shapes or thick films (>50 microns) of the nanocomposite. The relationships of the chemical structure of the organic matrix, nanoparticle content and dispersity with the refractive index, transparency, mechanical and thermal properties are systematically investigated. The refractive index, and mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposite are increased with increasing TiO2 content and aromatic structure in the organic matrix due to their rigid characteristics. The transparency of the nanocomposite is increased with increasing TiO2 content and dispersity. At the same loading of nanoparticles, the higher dispersity and the better transparency are due to the less extent of Rayleigh scattering. At 18 vol% (60 wt%) of TiO2, the acetic acid modified TiO2/poly(4-vinyl benzyl alcohol) nanocomposite has a refractive index of 1.73 and excellent transparency (>85% from 500 nm to 800 nm). The refractive index of the nanocomposite can be further increased to 1.77 by replacing aliphatic acetic acid modified TiO2 with aromatic phenyl acetic acid modified TiO2. The results of this work provide new knowledge and a new pathway to design a polymer based high refractive index material.

, p. 6051 - 6053 (2010)
Diblock copolymers possessing amino or aldehyde functions within one of their blocks were prepared using RAFT polymerization techniques. These polymers were shown to cross-link through dynamic imine bonds to form core cross-linked star polymers which display a size-dependency upon the concentration at which the cross-linking reactions are performed.

A series of polar group functionalized polystyrene-supported phosphine reagents were examined as catalysts in the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of N-tosyl arylimines and a variety of Michael acceptors with the aim of identifying the optimal polymer/solvent combination. For these reactions JandaJel-PPh3 (1 mmol PPh3/g loading) resin containing methoxy groups (JJ-OMe-PPh3) on the polystyrene backbone in THF solvent provided the highest yield of all the catalyst/solvent combinations examined. The methyl ether groups were incorporated into JJ-OMe-PPh3 using commercially available 4-methoxystyrene, and thus such polar polystyrene resins are easily accessible and should find utility as nucleophilic catalyst supports.

A novel [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl styryl ester (PCBM-S) was synthesized and employed as an electron transporting interfacial layer for bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells with an inverted device configuration. After the deposition of PCBM-S film from solution, the styryl groups of PCBM-S were polymerized by post-thermal treatment to form a robust film which is resistive to common organic solvents. This allows the solution processing of upper bulk heterojunction film without eroding the PCBM-S layer. Additionally, the PCBM-S was n-doped with decamethylcobaltocene (DMC) to increase the conductivity of the film, which resulted in a significantly improved power conversion efficiency from 1.24% to 2.33%. The improved device performance is due to the decrease of series resistance and improved electron extraction property of the n-doped PCBM-S film.

Ceria (CeO2)-supported metal catalysts have been widely utilized for various single-step chemical transformations. However, using such catalysts for a multistep organic reaction in one reaction system has rarely been achieved. Here, we investigate multiple active sites on Pd?CeO2 catalysts and optimize them for a multistep reaction of C?C cross-coupling and alcohol oxidation. Atomic-level imaging and spectroscopic studies reveal that metallic Pd0 and Pd?CeO2 interface are active sites on Pd?CeO2 for C?C cross-coupling and oxidation, respectively. These active sites are controlled under the structural evolution of Pd?CeO2 during reductive heat-treatments. Accordingly, we found that optimally reduced Pd?CeO2 catalysts containing ～1.5 nm-sized Pd nanoclusters with both sites in balance are ideal for multistep chemical transformations in one reaction system. Our strategy to design supported metal catalysts leads to one-pot sequential synthetic protocols for pharmaceutical building blocks.
