Synthesis and single-chain folding of amphiphilic random copolymers in water

Amphiphilic random methacrylate copolymers, consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and alkyl pendent groups, undergo reversible single-chain self-folding in water via intramolecular hydrophobic interaction, to generate a dynamic unimolecular hydrophobic nanospace, similar in shape but structurally different relative to micelles and microgel star polymers. These copolymers were prepared by the ruthenium-catalyzed living radical copolymerization of a PEG methacrylate (PEGMA) and an alkyl methacrylate (RMA; R, -CnH 2n+1, n = 1-18), where copolymer composition, degree of polymerization, and hydrophobic R moiety were varied. Detailed structural and chain-folding characterization has revealed: single-chain folding is favored with the RMA content 20-40 mol % per chain; the hydrophobic inner compartment (or the self-folded structure) is stable even at a high polymer concentration (up to ～6 wt %); and folded-unfolded transition occurs on addition of methanol or by elevating solution temperature, finally to phase-separation above a lower critical solution temperature.

Designing polymers for biphasic liquid/liquid separations after homogeneous reactions

The phase-selective solubility properties of polymer supports that could be used in thermomorphic and latent biphasic systems useful in synthesis and catalysis were evaluated using polymers tagged with either visible dyes or fluorescent probes. Heptane/DMF, heptane/90% ethanol-water, heptane/ethyl acetate, heptane/ethanol, and heptane/tert-butyl alcohol solvent mixtures were all studied as examples of thermomorphic or latent biphasic systems. A range of polymers including polyisobutylene (PIB), poly(tert-butylstyrene) (PTBS), poly(octadecyl acrylate) (PODA), and poly(octadecyl methacrylate) (PODMA) were tested for hydrophobic phase-selective solubility. The results of these studies are compared to prior work with polar and nonpolar poly(N-alkylacrylamide)s and polystyrene. Together with this prior work, these results show that a wide range of polymers and solvent mixtures can be used for the recycling of soluble polymer-bound catalysts, reagents, and sequestrants using either thermomorphic or latent biphasic separation strategies.

Process for producing methacrylic ester

A method of producing a methacrylic acid ester which comprises carrying out an ester-exchange reaction between methyl methacrylate and an alcohol or a phenol while removing by-product methanol as an azeotropic mixture with methyl methacrylate from the reaction system under reflux conditions, by the use of a reaction apparatus equipped with a distillation column. A methacrylic acid ester is produced with a good productivity by controlling the reflux ratio.
