Polymerization of epoxide with hydroxylamides as thermally latent initiators

A new class of thermally latent initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of epoxides has been developed. The latent initiators developed herein were the hydroxylamides 1a, 1b, and 1c, which were synthesized from phthalide, 3-isochromanone, and cis-cyclohexahydrophthalide, respectively, by their ring-opening reactions with pyrrolidine. These hydroxylamides were designed so that their hydroxyl groups could attack the amide moiety intramolecularly upon heating, leading to ring closure and formation of the corresponding lactones while releasing pyrrolidine, the initiator for the anionic ring-opening polymerization of an epoxide. The temperatures at which this thermal dissociation occurred were strongly dependent on the hydroxylamide molecular structure. When using the hydroxylamides as thermally latent initiators, the polymerizations of bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether were investigated at various temperatures. This investigation clarified that the threshold temperature, that is, the temperature at which polymerization was initiated, increased in the order of 1a, 1b, and then 1c.

DIASTEREO- AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 1,2-DIOLS BY VANADIUM(II) PROMOTED PINACOL CROSS COUPLING

The V(II) promoted pinacol cross coupling of a chiral aromatic aldehyde with achiral aliphatic aldehydes occurs to afford syn diols in up to 91:9 diastereoisomeric ratio and up to 84percent enantiomeric excess.The pinacol coupling of (S)-lactaldehyde and (R)-glyceraldehyde derivatives has also been studied and matching and mis-matching pairs have been identified.The stereochemistry of the products was established by correlation.The sense and degree of stereoselection is discussed.
